Did You Get Bitmap Books’ Super Famicom: The Box Art Collection Yet?
Last Updated on March 16, 2023
In 2021 Bitmap Books released the Super Famicom: Box Art Collection book featuring a series of art and information from hit Super Famicom/SNES titles like Super Metroid, Mortal Kombat, Prince of Persia and more!
It’s still available, but as we’re always impressed by Bitmap Books production standards, we thought you should know about it just in case it passed you by.
The book has had many five-star ratings being called an “excellent book for SNES fans” by a customer. The book comes in hardback with a free PDF for £29.99.
The description explains more details of the book’s content:
“As a celebration of this unique artwork, Bitmap Books is proud to present Super Famicom: The Box Art Collection – a compilation of Japanese game packaging images, professionally shot and presented as a glorious hardback edition. The book features around 250 titles, including many rare examples and some that have never before been documented in print. Sourced from the archives of renowned collector Stuart Brett (a.k.a. Super Famicom Guy), each box is beautifully presented, life-size, with a critique of the artwork, plus interviews with other collectors, talking about their love of the format.”
Renowned games journalist Steve Jarratt (launch editor Nintendo magazine Total! and Edge) has specially written the foreword and took lead on the text in the book. With its sleek “charcoal grey” cover and golden-foiled lettering, it definitely looks like a valuable collectible for SNES gamers, with original Japanese box art showcased within.
You can purchase a copy of Super Famicom: The Box Art Collection on the Bitmap Books online store.
I am a media and pop culture enthusiast and love Nintendo and indie games, particularly Zelda and Stardew Valley. When I’m not gaming you’ll find me writing, creating fanart, and playing music covers of my favourite games!
