Playing With Super Power: Nintendo Super NES Classics Paperback – 29 Sept. 2017

This book is really fantastic for all the Super NES fans.It contains a lot of informations about the hardware development, the accessories with greats pictures and even delivers some anecdotes.The book covers also the 13 Nintendo games (but not the third party titles like Super Mario RPG, Street Fighter 2 Turbo...) with many exlusive informations and beautiful original Art works.It is very full and really interesting so the Nintendo fans can't miss this excellent book.My only regret is about the Speedrun part for near each game (because It is interresting but not essential) that maybe could have been replaced by a more classic tips chapter.The paper quality is excellent and far from the Nintendo NES book released last year.To conclude, I really love this book !

Terrific book crammed with tonnes of details on some of the best games in the SNES library. This book only covers the games included on the SNES Classic so there are some notable omissions from the console's huge list of classics. I got the hardcover edition which is one of the nicest collectors editions I've ever had. The hard case has a luxurious soft, waxy feel and the page quality is top-notch.

More of a quick tip for those curious than a review (the book itself is pretty fantastic), but the book I received from Amazon actually features the PAL / UK style SNES slipcover rather than the purple U.S. version as shown... while even preferring the U.S. version of the console itself, the UK version of the slipcover comes across a bit nicer in my humble opinion.

I am finally writing a review of this, over a year after purchasing it!The first thing to point out is that this book is much better quality than the one Prima did for the NES classic. That had pages that were almost as thin as newspaper. This is of much higher quality, both the hard cover and the pages themselves.On to the content. I really enjoyed reading this book. For the games it covered, it’s excellent. It includes excerpts from the original game manuals, from magazines covering the games back in the day, lots of artwork, it includes ‘16 bits’ of information for each game, and even lists future games from each series.Coverage of each game also includes a speed running section, where speed runners discuss techniques and glitches for getting the best times on games. I didn’t think I would enjoy these sections as much as I did. It was genuinely fascinating learning about all the little techniques and glitches used for each game, and I googled many of them to learn more.My main gripe about the book, and the same applied to the NES book, is that it doesn’t cover the 3rd party games.I would have loved to have read all this information about Secret of Mana, Final Fantasy III (VI), Castlevania IV etc. Even if they covered less pages, it would still have been welcome. Surprisingly, Mario RPG is not covered in the book either, I presume because it was developed by Squaresoft, although it was published by Nintendo.Anyway, I would still highly recommend this book. I didn’t read it when I first got it, and that was a mistake. Once I started I couldn’t put it down, so it was well worth the price.

Amazing book. Lovingly created and full of fantastic artwork (some of which I haven't seen before) from way back. Looks great on my shelf and is the sort of book to pull out and refer to whenever you're playing a SNES game as a companion.

Got this for my partner and he loves it comes with so much information on the games he said it is a must have guide to owning a super nes

Simple really, if you're not a SNES and Nintendo fan don't buy it.If you are, a nicely put together tome in a market that lacks such books...in the UK at least.

Good book, covering all the games on the snes mini.Nicely illustrated, this book is a must buy for any Nintendo fan.One disappointment.: The slip cover shows the European version of the snes, but the book cover is based on the angular American design.Still, this is better value than the nes version.
