'''''{{Wp|Famitsu}}''''' (ファミ通) is a series of video game magazines published exclusively in [[Japan]] by the Japanese media company Kadokawa. The name ''Famitsu'' is a portmanteau abbreviation of its former name '''''Famicom Tsūshin''''' (ファミコン通信, lit. Famicom Communication); the word "[[Family Computer|Famicom]]" itself comes from a portmanteau abbreviation of "Family Computer," the most popular console in Japan when the magazine was first published in the 1980s. ''Famitsu''{{'}}s comics are published in both weekly and monthly formats as well as in the form of special topical issues devoted to only one console, game company, or other theme. From October 28, 2011, digital versions of the ''Famitsu'' magazines began releasing exclusively on {{wp|BookWalker}} weekly.<ref>{{Cite|title=週刊ファミ通（電子版）が10月28日から販売スタート！ - ファミ通App|url=http://www.famitsu.com/news/201110/27052568.html|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151211232221/http://www.famitsu.com/news/201110/27052568.html|archive-date=2015-12-11|access-date=2015-12-10|website=www.famitsu.com|language=Japanese}}</ref><ref name="gamebiz.jp">{{Cite|url=https://gamebiz.jp/?p=247334|title = KADOKAWA、電撃ゲームメディア編集部を吸収分割で連結子会社Gzブレインに10月1日付で承継へ 「ファミ通」ブランドと「電撃」ブランドが融合 | gamebiz}}</ref> Various ''Famitsu'' issues and guidebooks featured many games in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]]. | '''''{{Wp|Famitsu}}''''' (ファミ通) is a series of video game magazines published exclusively in [[Japan]] by the Japanese media company Kadokawa.
