The NES is one of the most iconic video game systems of all time,
and is often credited with saving the American video games industry
in the early 80s when it looked likely to collapse. The NES
Encyclopedia is the first ever complete reference guide to every
game released on the Nintendo Entertainment System, Nintendo's
first industry-defining video game system. As well as covering all
714 officially licensed NES games, the book also includes more than
160 unlicensed games released during its lifespan, giving for the
first time a definitive history of this important console's full
library. Written by a retro gaming expert with 30 years of gaming
experience and a penchant for bad jokes, the NES Encyclopedia
promises to be both informative and entertaining with masses of
information, full-colour screenshots and little-known facts. The
NES continues to enjoy a strong cult following among Nintendo fans
and gamers in general with wide varieties of officially licensed
merchandise proving ever popular: both for older fans who remember
it the first time around, and younger gamers discovering the system
for the first time through Nintendo's regular re-releases of its
older games. Nintendo's most recent console, the Switch, is the
fastest selling video game console of all time in the United States
and Japan. Nintendo recently launched an ever-growing library of
classic NES games for download on the Switch, meaning a new
audience of gamers is discovering the NES for the first time.
