New book 'NES/Famicom: a Visual Compendium' celebrates Nintendo's first two consoles.
The NES/Famicom: a Visual Compendium
The unofficial coffee table book from Funstock takes a look at the history of the best-selling 8-bit and 16-bit consoles - with the Famicom known as the Super Nintendo outside of Japan - and includes contributions from Ex-Rare graphic artist Kevin Bayliss and journalist Steve Jarrett, who worked for magazines Total!, Edge and Official Nintendo Magazine.
The book has over 500 pages of the very best pixel art, box art and product design associated with each system, over 100 game reviews printed alongside double-page game maps, developer and artist interviews, a brief overview of the creation of the NES and Famicom systems and some short features about unreleased games, packaging and fan art.
Talking about the tome, Andy Pearson - General Manager of Funstock.co.uk - said: "This book showcases everything that gamers loved about the NES and Famicon. It's got superb photography, exciting bespoke pixel art that features gaming favourites like 'Mario' and 'Zelda', and it's all underpinned by a range of really interesting features about each console. Fans of the NES/Famicon now have something really special they can enjoy for years to come!"
