The Game Boy & Virtual Boy Anthology - Gold Edition offers a
look back at the radically opposed destinies of these two consoles.
When writing this Gold Edition, Math Manent (also author of N64
& GameCube Anthologies) surrounded himself with an exceptional
team and set about creating the most complete books possible on
both of these Nintendo platforms. This Gold Edition from Geeks-Line
presents the complete catalog of both the Game Boy and Virtual Boy
libraries published worldwide, cataloging 1,072 games (1,050 on
Game Boy, 22 on Virtual Boy), canceled titles, accessories
(including the most absurd and insane), as well as the collectors'
versions of Game Boy Pocket and Game Boy Light. The hardware
chapter reveals Nintendo's technical choices and the technology
used according to costs and constraints. Finally, we have included
anaglyph glasses to fully appreciate the Virtual Boy's 3D graphics!
Throughout the 380+ pages of the Nintendo 64 Anthology book, the
author Math Manent traces the 64-bit Nintendo consoles development
and life through numerous interviews with the key-players of its
life, new anecdotes, a complete history of the genesis of the
machine, and a detailed description of each of the 388 games
released during the system's lifespan. Of course, Collector's
Edition games and bundles are not forgotten, in this state-of-the
art book.
Initially announced as 'Project Dolphin', the GameCube would
represent Nintendo's transition to the world of digital media. The
GameCube Anthology is a unique and original book celebrating the
machine's memory, and was written by the same author who brought
you the Nintendo 64 Anthology. The year was 1999. As the new
century and millennium dawned, so did a new era of gaming. The
graphic quality of console productions was nearing that of the
pre-rendered 3D that had astonished us a few years earlier on the
PlayStation especially. In the space of a few years, our hopes
became reality. Brought to life by the new, so-called '128-bit
generation' of consoles. Nintendo would have to play the pioneers
if they hoped to compete. Up against their old enemy (Sega), a new
and successful console (PlayStation), and the powerful newcomer
from the PC industry (Microsoft), the Kyoto-based company geared up
for a new console war. From the Cube's origins to the end of its
life cycle, the GameCube Anthology covers it all in this new and
richly illustrated account. CONTENTS: GameCube History Complete

When writing this Tanuki Deluxe Edition, Math Manent (also author
of the N64 & GameCube Anthologies) surrounded himself with an
exceptional team and set about making the most complete book
possible on Nintendo's 8-bit wonder. Over 600 magnificently
illustrated pages (180 more than the standard edition) covering
every single game on the console (Famicom Disk System games
included), every accessory and peripheral, a unique look at the
machine's inner workings, the various bundles, and, of course, the
console's incredible life story. A truly monumental book on the
subject. Telling the full story of the NES/Famicom without
repeating what has already been said in the past is no easy feat.
And yet we made this our goal, while still covering as many of the
details, dates, facts, and anecdotes as possible surrounding this
machine that shaped a whole generation. A machine that no one
really believed in to begin with (even its own designer!) but which
ended up conquering the world and making Nintendo leader of the
fast-changing video games industry. How many nostalgic gamers and
collectors still consider themselves part of the NES/Famicom cult,
30 years on from its launch? And what about its staggering and
unprecedented sales figures? Almost 62 million consoles sold around
the world! Sure, quantity doesn't mean quality, but the NES/Famicom
managed both, with a plethora of iconic and unforgettable games.
They are what made a legend of the machine, a legend we'll share
with you across one hundred pages.
