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 "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 BookWalker weekly.[1][2] Various Famitsu issues and guidebooks featured many games in the Super Mario franchise.

Necky the Fox, the mascot of Famitsu, has made an appearance in Super Mario Maker as one of the various Mystery Mushroom costumes, being listed as costume #107. The Necky costume was unlocked by clearing the Yoshi Is Awesome! Event Course, which was made for a course creation contest hosted by Famitsu.
