Web Updates for March
Proceeding in its quest to overtake the next-gen market, the PlayStation is climbing up to nearly 1 million sales. Sega, on the other hand, reported about 400,000 as of its January data. Having instructed developers to scrap all remaining 32X titles or upgrade to Saturn, it is clear Sega is shifting its strategy. We'll take a closer look at this unfolding rivalry in an upcoming Spotlight feature. As for the hot new games available this month, with gems aplenty there's no shortage of goodies... unless you're itching for a solid Super NES title. Those are increasingly hard to come by as the Big N refocuses on Ultra 64.

Web Updates for February
As we briskly stride through '96, the gaming biz is undeniably grabbing the 32-Bit bull by the horns. Most developers have allocated full resources to games on PlayStation, Saturn, and the highly awaited Ultra 64, leaving behind the perennial 16-Bit favorites of Super NES and Genesis. Great titles continue to emerge for the older hardware, like Yoshi's Island and Earthworm Jim 2, but now with RPGs making their initial splash onto next-gen, the PS-X and Saturn will assuredly become the main staple of your TV diets. Case-in-point: King's Field. We'll have a full review posted for this amazing RPG in this month's issue.
