They have hipster minimalistic covers, but they claim to be highly researched books covering the development of video games. Do they do indepth research and interviews or is it just rehashing common knowledge and what they skimmed from Wikipedia? They have titles on
>Mega Man 3
>Earthbound
>Super Mario Bros. 3
>Galaga
>Chrono Trigger
>Bible Adventures
>Metal Gear Solid
>Super Mario Bros. 2

No clue on the contents, but that generic as fuck cover screams "bound Wikipedia article." Speaking of which, are those still a thing? I remember several years ago that some accounts on eBay were apparently literally selling Wikipedia articles, presumably printed and bound.

Massive motherfag here who was moderately interested in the EB book. I did some research on them and they are just some literal who's essays on games and shit. Not really anything interesting. As far as info it's probably nothimg you couldn't get from wikipedia.
I always shill this site when it comes up, great resource for translated Japanese interviews.

Kotaku has some exerpts and they seem pretty indepth. But the question I ask is: what are they basing this on?
>Mega Man 3
Looks to be an overview of the development process, focusing on how Mega Man was able to survive without Kitamura-san.

>Chrono Trigger:
Based on this, it's some big nerd essay analyzing the plot/game/story/philosophy. Yawn. Who cares? Just Nerd Trash.

It seems to be some are nerd analysis essays, and some are history books recounting the development of the games. The nerd essays you could get on any blogs. Like, I don't care what some dweeb thinks. I care what the actual creators think.

The Mega man 3 author has stated his interest in writing a book on Cocoron.
