Weekly Famitsu is a Japanese video game magazine which has run since June 1986. Atlus games have often been featured on the cover of the magazine with original art.
Earlier editions of the magazine featured Famitsu’s mascot, Necky the Fox, drawn as characters from various games. Subsequently, the magazine has featured artwork illustrated by Atlus artists.
