DAMN.
I need this so bad!
I'm going to hit up my local Japanese bookstore tomorrow and pray they have it in stock.

I'm going to get an exact rate for shipping when the post office opens. If the first PM applicant doesn't come through, I may take you up on the code, but could probably also do the cash equivalent.

Woo ha!
Nabbed a copy for ~$10.
I got mine from the Japanese bookstore in Mitsuwa Marketplace here in Illinois.
Here's a link to the website if you want to see if there's a market near you:

That sucks, they should have started with Nintendo's pre-Famicom game consoles if they wanted to be complete, even if they were only Atari-quality.
you may buy the ebook version via here

NCSX has it listed on their site for $19. It's out of stock right now, but they say they're getting more stock soon.

I love that place, especially the grocery and food court!
Did they have many copies?
Thanks for the info. I am actually looking for the hardcopy, but if I couldn't get that, the ebook version should be better than nothing

Ok, that bookwalker ibook isn't DRM free i guess? It's part of a Japanese proprietary iPhone app? I can't figure out how to pull up a price or put it in a cart.
Thanks.
Man, looking at some of the pages I've seen online. It's really nice.
Wish it was in English.

I tried buying from the iPhone app....but I guess I need to buy a Japanese iTunes card.
I'm not sure it's worth the hassle, can I even read this file on a PC?
Oh man, I was totally planning to go there today, but had other errands to run. Hopefully there are still some left.Woo ha!

Awesome. I'm going to the NJ Mitsuwa on Monday. I know they carry some Famitsu issues at the Sanseido there. Hopefully they have this one too!

Nintendo published or Nintendo developed?

Nice Freudian slip there.
published as there were games listed like excitebots (apparantly it was released as a club nintendo bonus.. never knew that)

That NCSX price a ripoff or not too bad? Want to buy this, any alternative online retailers?
it costs 480 yen in japan
I picked this up...they have full page for some games like Metroid, SMB, but most take up like 1/8th of a page and very little information besides a short blurb with some screens. I'm not sure what I was expecting but I wouldn't pay $50 for it unless you plan to wrap it in plastic and throw it in a safe...
They sell books that have information about retro games/history, there is even a series of DVDs that goes into great detail and interviews with companies : see

I heard good things about those, of course there are Game Center CX DVDs too.

seems like the $50 would be better spent on the book I posted earlier, which focuses on the Famicom but has english descriptions along with japanese for 1st and 3rd party games, along with hardware and accessories. not sure where you can buy it though. prices fluctuate.
Yeah I live in Tokyo so I only paid five bucks...it is neat but not worth anything near more than ten bucks maybe in long run, that said if they did the same for Sega I might have paid out my nose for one
Funny to see them attempt to include Virtual Boy screens, they are almost pitch black

Is there any way to view it without an iPhone/iPad? Or is there a pc client too?
It's available for Android too.
You can use an Android emulator (like Bluestacks) for Windows, but you'll need to tweak it a bit (specifically, you'll need to increase the virtual SD card size). You'll also need to circumvent the region lock to download the Book Walker apk.
That's just the cover y'know. inside they show pretty much everything.

Even the Pikachu N64?
Yup. Mind you that in every case it's just the original promo photos organize on a page.
This thing isn't that amazing IMO. It's a cute little nostalgia trip when you flip through it, but I don't think most educated Nintendo fans are really going to care about it beyond that. The cover photo is the most glamorous thing about it. I do like how they open each system with a few dedicated articles on its key games (Mother 3 and Rhythm Heaven for GBA for example), but don't expect some Hyrule Historia-level blowout. I guess it's good it's a magazine supplement, then.
