My recent playthrough of Lufia DS inspired me to tackle this big project: I scanlated into English a 32-page comic special from 1996, given away (presumably to subscribers) courtesy of Nintendo of Germany’s official magazine, Club Nintendo. (Since NOE’s…
Oh, interesting that even this stuff was mirrored in the Netherlands too. I wouldn’t impose to ask you to scan the whole thing in (it’s too late anyway) but could you scan the introductory page you mentioned? The German one I mean, since I have more experience with that language. And by the off chance do you also have the special edition for Banjo-Kazooie, Lylat Wars, or Terranigma?
No I only own the Lufia one.
The next two are the last two pages. Also, though it seems like in Germany the comic was a special edition for the Club Nintendo magazine, in the Netherlands you were able to pick up the comic for free in some stores. So the Dutch version of the comic just has another ad for Lufia instead of a page where you can subscribe to the Club Nintendo magazine.
(I’ve bigger versions of the scans, seems like Tumblr shrinks them)
Thanks to sinrevi, here’s the extra pages from the Lufia comic that weren’t in my scan. I don’t think I’ll translate the intro text; there’s a lot of it over a textured background, and I think the comic contextualises itself pretty well. But there’s some nice Doom Island art, and confirmation in the credits that other artists than CN’s usual contractors Work House Tokyo worked on it, which may explain why the style is quite different to other comics they’ve published. Plus some interesting native info about the distribution from sinrevi. Thank you!
