Super SNES/Super Famicom: A Visual Compendium

I own the Neo Geo book, the Amiga book and now the SNES book.The SNES book, unlike the Amiga book comes in a hard-case with a nifty little 3D-type sticker on it. It's not a hologram, it's a ribbed image that changes the pictures depending on the viewing angle. Another coffee-table book of superb quality. It's also pretty thick and good value IMHO.If you're a SNES fan, you _need_ this. The problem with the Bitmap books though, is once you buy one, you'll want more. You have been warned!Next stop is SNES box-art book.

This book is simply brilliant! I bought it as I enjoy the NES/SNES era of 8 and 16 Bit gaming and what it meant to me growing up. This book nails it!! The sections about the main players in the dev space are interesting and each game gets its moment with a high level overview and some commentary about the pros and cons.I’ve been using this as a reference for downloading lesser known SNES games through emulators that I never played as a child.Thoroughly recommend this if you’re a retro gamer. I’ve bought the NES version already.

If you like the SNES in the absolute slightest this book is a must have. I couldn’t wait for the hardcover edition to be in stock so I went for the paperback but even the smallest detail has been taken into account, superb quality and the content, though many reviews have been made by fans and not all the written content comes from creators it is not a flaw by any means. Buy it.

Firstly, a lot of the older reviews focus on the pre-order and availability of this book. I ordered from Amazon and received the book as I would any other, so these look to be out of date.On to the book itself. I absolutely love it. Beautiful to look at, well presented and written by experts with access to those that made these games happen. Very highly recommended!

Really nice.
