Celebrate the stunning artistry of Japanese Super Famicom game packaging with this beautifully curated hardback collection from Bitmap Books.
Discover the artistic superiority of Japanese Super Famicom game packaging in this stunning collector's edition
If you were a Nintendo fan in the early 90s, you knew the secret: Japanese Super Famicom releases weren't just technically superior with their 60Hz full-screen gameplay – they came in absolutely gorgeous portrait-shaped boxes that made western releases look bland by comparison. Those intricate, stylish Japanese designs were works of art in themselves, and now you can appreciate them in all their glory.
A Museum-Quality Presentation
Super Famicom: The Box Art Collection brings together approximately 250 carefully selected titles from the archives of renowned collector Stuart Brett, known to enthusiasts as Super Famicom Guy. Each box is professionally photographed and presented at life-size scale, allowing you to appreciate every detail of these iconic designs. You'll find rare examples and games that have never been documented in print before, making this book an essential reference for collectors and Nintendo historians alike.
More Than Just Pretty Pictures
This isn't just a visual showcase – each featured game includes expert critique of the artwork, exploring the design choices, artistic styles, and cultural context that made these boxes so special. You'll also enjoy interviews with fellow collectors who share their passion for the format and explain what makes Japanese Super Famicom packaging so captivating.
Premium Quality Throughout
Bitmap Books has spared no expense in creating this 276-page hardback masterpiece. The book features a charcoal grey wibalin cover with an elegant gold foil blocked logo, lithographic printing to the highest standards, and sewn binding that ensures durability. Long-time games journalist Steve Jarratt, launch editor of Edge and Total! Nintendo magazine, oversees the text and provides the foreword, bringing decades of industry expertise to the project.
Whether you're a dedicated collector, a design enthusiast, or simply someone who grew up loving Nintendo's 16-bit console, Super Famicom: The Box Art Collection is an unmissable celebration of gaming's golden age.
