📼 V-JUMP V-FEST ’97 VIDEO (1997) – Rare Japanese Promo VHS

This is the official Vフェス’97ビデオ (V-Fest ’97 Video) released by Shueisha for V Jump magazine.

The cover boldly states:

独占情報いっぱいだ!!
“Packed with exclusive information!!”

This VHS was a promotional event video showcasing upcoming and current video games, exclusive footage, and original anime content connected to V-Jump and its partner publishers in 1997.

It represents peak mid-90s Japanese game marketing — pre-internet hype delivered on tape.
