Nintendo of Japan Has Just Published a 30th Anniversary Super Mario Bros Complete Encyclopedia
Nintendo of Japan Has Just Published a 30th Anniversary Super Mario Bros. Complete Encyclopedia Nintendo Life 255 pages of gaming history by Share: As many of you are likely aware, we're currently approaching the end of the year that has marked the 30th anniversary of the Super Mario series. It's hard to believe that this iconic game franchise has only been around for 30 years when you look at the impact it's had on the game industry and the world as a whole, but nonetheless, time flies when you're having fun. In an effort to honor Mario's rich history and to fittingly close out his 30th year, Nintendo of Japan has just published an encyclopedia of all things Mario. Covering all 17 main titles in the series, this volume is absolutely packed to bursting with developer interviews, original art, explanations of level designs, famous glitches, and much more. Unfortunately, there's no word as to when or if this will be released in the West, though it would be a bit of a head scratcher if Nintendo chose to leave the rest of the world out of this celebratory work of literature. We'd sure love the chance to lay this next to Hyrule Historia on the coffee table. What do you think? Would you buy this if Nintendo published it outside Japan? Do you think we'll be getting this?

When he's not busy playing games or writing, you can find him down at his local MMA training facility learning how to punish the unrighteous. Comments ) Oh come on nintendo get it translated. I'll just love to open this come Christmas day Here's hoping they include a timeline to clear everything up Have to agree that this would be a great Christmas gift. Definitely!! I'd love to read this. Sort of related, but this month's Retro Gamer has Mario on the cover and their main feature is the 30 Greatest Mario Moments during it's 30 year run. I don't think they will insert a timeline, as there are already inconsistencies in the Mario universe, and the people at Nintendo likely want to have the possibility of changing the role of characters. Since the encyclopedia is about the Super Mario games, they will likely treat each one separately from the others. I'd love to see this come over stateside. Here's hoping Metroid will get something similar for its 30th next year! (staying hopeful they haven't forgotten) It's even harder to believe that all Nintendo did to celebrate was release a creation game that isn't as good as something Sony put out 7 years ago. I wish Nintendo was based out of the US sometimes. It's obvious how much favorites they play, especially with items like this and the VC Oh I'd LOVE this in English! !!I'll keep my fingers tightly crossed Oh my! What about releasing the actual games?? Super Mario All Stars 60Hz on Wii U!! I would love to get this! I want this. I want this NOW. Please release in Europe and North America please Nintendo. Pretty please! 255 pages -> that makes me very happy Meh.
No limited edition hardware means crap anniversary. I know, right?? I'd get this if ever translated for the west... If its ever translated into English (and not flipping expensive) I'd get it. If this doesn't get published in the West, I'll import it from Japan!
The artwork alone is probably worth it! Hope this gets translated. Classic 8-bit Mario amiibo. Just saying. Good Lord we need this! :0 I'd buy this! Would love this and the Splatoon artbook so very much. Shut up and take my money! Perhaps we should start writing to Dark Horse, who already published Hyrule History. Do it, Nintendo. Make an English translation, please!!! They really shooouuuld... Leave A Comment Hold on there, you need to to post a comment...
