Montmorency, France Publicaciones
372 Pages, 388 Game Reviews, Interviews, Complete History, Collector's Guide... Everything You Need to Know about the Nintendo 64!
September 29th, 2016, marks the Nintendo 64’s twentieth anniversary. To celebrate the birth of this incredibly avant-gardist machine, Math Manent has written the most comprehensive and remarkable book about this legendary console. Over 350 pages long, this book inventories and chronicles the entire game library (388 games sold in Japan, the US, Europe, and Australia), sifts through the canceled games, accessories, collector’s editions, and, of course, every Nintendo 64 version and bundle. By interviewing the people involved at the time – Martin Hollis (Rare – GoldenEye), Eric Caen (Titus – Superman; acknowledged as one of the machine’s worst games) – Mathieu Manent has worked to make this book an encyclopedia honoring the Nintendo 64 we’ve all come to love.
NINTENDO & THE NINTENDO 64
"Nintendo's philosophy is never to go the easy path; it's always to challenge ourselves and try to do something new. " - Shigeru Miyamoto
In 1889, Nintendo was created to publish and sell Japanese playing cards (Hanafuda). According to the founder’s great-grandson, the name comes from Nintendo Koppai, meaning: to leave one’s fortune in the hands of fate. It wasn’t until 1977 that the Kobe-based company launched its first gaming console: TV Game 6. Deeply rooted in Japanese culture, Nintendo nevertheless broke with its principles by partnering with Silicon Graphics (the company behind the special effects in Terminator and Jurassic Park, amongst others) to develop a revolutionary, 3D-oriented console: the Nintendo 64. The traditional Japanese company and Silicon Valley start-up's opposing styles and differing visions came together to bring us years of wonder that we look back on today with nostalgia. Through a long survey covering several years, with rich, pertinent anecdotes, Math shows how this often tumultuous coexistence resulted, despite everything, in the birth of the most sophisticated machine of its time.

COMPLETE SOFTWARE LIBRARY
A total of 388 official titles were released on the Nintendo 64, and a specific amount of page space is dedicated to each one based on its quality and reputation. For example, GoldenEye has earned itself a full page, whereas titles of lesser renown will be covered on a half-page. While most players have played or at least heard of the best titles (GoldenEye, Mario 64, Banjo-Kazooie, Lylat Wars / Star Fox 64, Perfect Dark, The Legend Of Zelda, etc.), many other less well-known games deserve our attention too. This book presents all 388 published gameswith detailed information including their release date, developer, publisher, genre, rarity index, and a rating out of five.
HARDWARE
In this technical section, we uncover the secrets behind Nintendo 64’s hardware: its technical characteristics, connectors, its heart beating to the rhythm of silicon. Here we establish a precise overview of the Nintendo 64, through its accessories, controllers, and cartridges. This section also includes all the versions sold, collector’s editions, and the various bundles distributed around the world.
