It looks like Nintendo will be releasing a retrospective of 17 of its classic NES games in the form of a hardback book called Playing with Power.
The book will cover such infamous NES classics as Super Mario Bros. 3, Donkey Kong and The Legend of Zelda. The tome will include interviews and commentary from people who worked on the games as well as a showcase of vintage excerpts from Nintendo Power magazine.
The homage to classic gaming will also include a slew of art work from the era, including characters, game environments, and even hand drawn maps from the classic games.
Bitmap Books seemed to be planning a similar project focussed on NES era art work, but it was taken down after receiving a DMCA notice from Nintendo. The art book has since returned, but now states that it is unofficial in the title. NES/Famicon A Visual Compendium was fully funded on Kickstarter which may have something to do with Nintendo's plans to release this new look back at retro gaming.
Playing With Power: Nintendo NES Classics is set to release on November 18, 2016 and is available to pre-order now on Amazon.
