Still holding out for an announcement for the US, especially since it seems that Dark Horse is the one publishing it, & they've done other Nintendo books like the Zelda ones. I'd rather not have to deal with importing it.
I don't know why, but I feel in the last few years Mario's image has went from sweet/loveable to... creepy. I dont know if there was some subtle design change for him that's doing it, but his face and the way they use him now just always comes off as super weird. I noticed it in the Switch video, and its especially present in the box art above. Like maybe his eyes have changed a bit or something.
Like this mario looks so much more likable and nice:
Yep, just had my Amazon UK order cancelled
Mine too. WTF!?
Of all the art books over the years, this was the one I was personally looking forward to the most and as such I was over the moon when I saw it show up on Amazon.uk and not just in German on Amazon.de. Heck, I must have been one of the first people to pre-order it there.
So why oh why is this now happening? I noticed a few weeks ago that the item was showing "currently unavailable", which struck me as a bit weird considering it's pre-order, but I never would have imagined they'd outright cancel it completely!
Could this mean that another publisher has stepped in or something? Or could it really be an extremely limited quantity of books that have sold out NES Classic style? If anyone has more info on this, please let us know. I need this book in English!
Edit: also weird that the German version is still up on Amazon.de while both have Nintendo as thheir author / publisher.
just pre-order it on the german or french amazon then, it's still available and they didn't cancel anything yet
You can get the English version as well. There is basically no English book in print you can't order from amazon.de.
I was going to order one from Amazon Canada, I'm assuming it's in english?
Ok, this is getting even weirder. Unless I'm missing something, Amazon.uk has the book up for pre-order once again despite their earlier cancellation of pre-orders. What is going on over there and why didn't they send emails to the people who had ordered one before to give them a heads-up?
Hmm...what to do now? I could cancel my Amazon.de order of the English version and go for the cheaper Amazon.uk option (36 euros vs 25 or so) but (A) cancelling pre-orders is always kind of a hassle (because I think you need to email them) and (B) how sure can I be that Amazon.uk will come through this time? Maybe I should just leave it for now.
With shipping Amz UK costs me 35 euro to the Netherlands. Amz DE is 37 for my preorder. I'm staying with the Germans.Ok, this is getting even weirder.

My amazon uk order was just cancelled :/
Reason: "Our supplier has informed us that this item is no longer available."
When have you preordered? Maybe its just NES Mini 2.0 and they have to few books printedMy amazon uk order was just cancelled :/

Pretty much, yup.I need this
My hope is they're cancelling this version to release a newer one including Odyssey art at a later point. No idea how realistic that is though.
But, my German version has not been cancelled (yet?).

Just got an email from Amazon.de saying they can't say when the item will be delivered and that it might not be delivered at all.
Just got an email from amazon de cancelling this.
Guess something fell through somewhere. A shame.
Didn't know there was a book coming out. Bookmarked it.
