While EGM and VG&CE were my favorite video gaming magazines, I did really like Next Generation when it arrived with the 32/64 bit generation. Sadly, it didn't last very long. The September 1995 issue includes:

I have this issue on my bookshelf. I remember buying it new either at Barnes and Noble, or the grocery store. Every new system was always so revolutionary back then.

Yeah, I don't think the whole idea of a regular cycle of new consoles was really even thought about until the 16-bit generation came along. Now it's kind of that way again. I definitely find myself looking forward to the new Atari VCS more than the PlayStation 5 or whatever is next...
