Video games, from yesterday to tomorrow
Towa Play is a video game magazine written with its community. Players of every generation meet here: those who grew up with cartridges, those who grew up online, and those discovering their very first console.
What Towa Play means
Towa, “forever”
In Japanese, towa means something that lasts forever. Like our love of video games, passed down through generations.
An endless loop
On the left of our symbol, a round loop: past generations, the classics that shaped us.
Play, and keep going
On the right, the loop turns into a forward-facing play button: tomorrow’s games, and the urge to always press “play”.
What matters to us
Every generation
From retro to the latest releases, every player belongs here, whatever their age or console.
