'D-Force'

[SNES] [USA] [MAGAZINE] [1991]

"D-Force isn't exactly an easy undertaking at the best of times, so you can imagine my surprise when I discovered that developer Cream had neglected to include a way of detecting enemies directly above you in exploration stages. This glaring oversight has an unfortunate tendency to lead to the destruction of your aircraft. All we really need is a flashing prompt declaring "DANGER!" whenever there's an enemy overhead. Just tell me where they are, and I won't fly into them. I promise." ~Alli Flanagan, Ultimate Nintendo: Guide to the SNES Library (1991-"1998)

When the agency that owned the promotion needed to garner more nationwide attention, they decided to push Cutie, who became the first “idol wrestler” and went from an unknown and ‘weak’ talent to a national sensation after appearing on the cover of Weekly Young Jump in 1989. Cutie would go on to become a singer, model, actress, and celebrity, so naturally this boom of popularity would lead to a video game appearance as well.

So ideally I’d like to gather all official merch on this blog. These are some of the rare posters I’ve seen looking around trying to find the promo one I just bought . The third one is a cutting from an old magazine (likely a Nintendo Power). The Japanese poster would be like a holy grail at this point, if it even exists anymore
