UPER FAMICOM THE BOX ART COLLECTION - BOOK

It wasn't easy being a Nintendo fan in the early 90s: the wonderful Super Famicom was released
in Europe as the Super Nintendo Entertainment System  but it was hindered by a bordered 50Hz
image and a delayed release schedule. True Nintendo fans got hold of a Japanese console and
bought their games on the grey import market. In addition to the benefits of faster  smoother 
full-screen gameplay  Japanese Super Famicom cartridges came in beautiful portrait-shaped boxes
rather than the landscape packaging sold in Europe and North America. The stylish  intricate
Japanese designs were almost always superior to those of the western releases. As a celebration
of this unique artwork  Bitmap Books is proud to present Super Famicom: The Box Art Collection
- a compilation of Japanese game packaging  professionally shot and presented as a glorious
hardback edition. The book features around 250 titles  including many rare examples and some
that have never before been documented in print. Sourced from the archives of renowned
collector  Stuart Brett (aka Super Famicom Guy)  each box is beautifully presented life-size 
with a critique of the artwork  plus interviews with other collectors  explaining their love of
the format. Super Famicom: The Box Art Collection comes in a square-format book  bound in
charcoal grey wibalin with a gold foil block logo and lithographically printed to the highest
standards. It includes a foreword by long-time games journalist Steve Jarratt  launch editor of
Edge and Nintendo magazine Total!. Super Famicom: The Box Art Collection is an unmissable treat
for anyone who had a passion for Nintendo's 16-bit game console  and who came to embrace the
distinctive Japanese artwork adorning these iconic games.
