American magazine reviews?

I am a bit confused why I can't seem to find many American game reviews from the time. ECM, Gamepro, etc. Gamepro was started a few months before Willow was released, so it should have a review. If anyone can find any, please let me know. The most substantial coverage of the game seems to be Nintendo Power, and Hobby Consolas. Harizotoh9 (talk) 14:59, 10 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Producer/director

The Nintendo Power 237 retrospective on the game gives only credit to Fujiwara for the game. He was producer, and the writer doesn't seem to be aware the game was directed by Akira Kitamura. Confusion over producer/director is common for the gaming media, especially older games. Harizotoh9 (talk) 08:07, 24 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
