Since the release of the Famicom Mini, there have been a bunch of FC-related books released. Some of them are *really* good, others just kind of so-so.
What are some of your personal favorite Famicom-related books?
Care to mention any of these books by name? I'm curious to know what they are. ::)
The books from around the release of Famicom Mini were:
A "revival" of Family Computer Magazine, published by Mook, that included reviews of the games on the Mini along with a DVD full of clippings from the original magazine.
Famicom Complete Guide, a guide to every game and plenty of hardware released on the Famicom. Includes box art and label art for every cart.
Famicom Kusoge, a guide to "terrible" Famicom games.
Famicom Kurabu Mini, another guide to the titles available on the Mini.
A special edition of Famitsu dedicated to the Mini and the games included.
I hope they all suck, lol. I can't wait for my book to get finished and published. :)

That one's not bad, surprisingly. It goes into different categories of kusoge rather than just a single list of crap. Although, one of the categories involves the difficulty of completing the game...which saw the author include Mike Tyson's Punch-Out, which made me want to *fight the book*.

The Family Computer Magazine "revival" was the only real stinker. The Famicom Complete Guide was especially good. I just wish it'd have been published in a larger format, similar to Pat Contri's Ultimate NES. The small size makes it really convenient as a reference, but it's a shame that all the box/label art had to be shrunk down so much.
Other Famicom books I've wound up with include:
The Nostalgic Famicom Perfect Guide (which is good, but not "perfect" by any stretch)
Our Favorite TV Games from the 80's (which included SFC, MD, and PCE games as well).
