Pretty much most of the magazines at the time headlined/covered the Shadow the Hedgehog game before it came out. The concept was really fresh, and the art released for it was very different/dark/ interesting to see. With guns, motorcycles & aliens its understandable why magazines could draw readers by solo'ing Shadow on their covers. Sadly, the mechanics of the game weren't the best so the same magazines later dumped on it. This issue of Nintendo Power has Shadow on his GUN motorcycle with the headline of "Hog Heaven!" and Sega Rolls out 3 Sonic Sensations. The cover does look good, & is eye-catching.
