"GameFan" was well known for its extensive import game coverage and its expansive coverage of the emerging interest in anime. Another major feature that separated "GameFan" from other gaming magazines was the high quality paper it was printed on. "GameFan"'s game screen shots were the most colorful and faithfully resembled the game graphics. The death of "GameFan" is usually attributed to several factors. The primary cause was a series of lawsuits which had haunted the magazine for nearly its entire run (mainly stemming from a cadre of investors that felt they were fleeced during the earliest years of the publication's run), following it through numerous corporate iterations and change of hands. It is this lawsuit that, in fact, had prevented the sale of the print magazine and its continuation as a going concern (as it turns out, the deal was virtually all but final and was derailed at the 11th hour due to the aforementioned suit).
