Awesome, now if I could find a GameStop that’s taking freaking pre orders!!!! GAAAAH!
I need to get this and the one that was done for N64.
Great, now how about those preorders that have yet to start?
Nintendo about to smash the Nostalgia-train into it’s fans again! Hide your wallet before your brain loses control! D;
Somehow I don’t remember the line ‘playing with Super Power’, I only remember ‘Now you’re playing with Power’.
The slogan during the SNES days was “Now you’re playing with POWER! SUPER POWER!!”
Will this book cover the shady crap they pulled back then, too? Or will it just gloss over it like it was no big thing?
You mean how ever Nintendo fan forgot that they did price fixing? Or sabotaged stores in the States if they didn’t do excatly like Nintendo told them to? Forcing developers to only develop for their system? I thank Sega for what they did back in the early 90′. Tom Kalinske is a freakin’ hero.
Although ethically dubious, that shady sh** saved the video game industry in the NES era and ensured that Nintendo’s console was both high quality and profitable. Most of the indefensible policies were scaled back either by Nintendo themselves or by court action by the SNES era. It kept Nintendo from becoming the next Atari.
