Stars of Famicom Games

During a trip to the library, avid Nintendo fan Chris Covell picked up a children's book titled Stars of Famicom Games. While the book may have been found in the children's section, the book is still interesting for Nintendo fans of all ages.

Originally published in 1989, Stars of Famicom Games shows some development pictures of Super Mario Bros. 3. The book also contains pictures of a younger Shigeru Miyamoto and music composer Koji Kondo. Not only does it give you a look at the development behind one of the most popular games of all-time, it also takes you inside Nintendo's headquarters to show you how game manufacturing and distribution was done at the time. It's very fascinating stuff. The entire book has been scanned and translated into English for your viewing pleasure on Chris's website, which can be viewed here. As a fellow blogger put it, this is "a piece of Nintendo history," one that no one should miss.
