Bitmap Books has a Kickstarter up for a visual compendium of NES/Famicom games.

Looks like a good idea for retro gamers.

Contra would have made this an absolute must.

But I'm really intrigued by the idea regardless.
Life is not about the second chances. It's about a little mouse and his voyage to an exciting new land. That, my friend, is what life is.

Sir, do you have any Warrants?
I got their first CD, but you can't have it, motherfucker!

Oh whoa, Nintendo really wants my money! I only own Mega Man 2 out of all of those. Hopefully they do release one with those 3 games and more. And a SNES one would make a killing.

This would make for a perfect birthday present or Christmas gift.

In all honesty, this offer actually kind of excites me more than getting any current-gen console as of right now. Not to say that I don't want a Wii U or PS4, but it's kind of hard to beat this line-up.

Looks awesome. I like how they made the two new characters completely different from the original two.

R.I.P. I need to read up on Nakamura's accomplishments.

I got the preview copy of the NES art book I kickstarted a while back. I think just about every classic was included shy of TMNT III, Rockin' Kats, Tiny Toon Adventures, and Mega Man 5 and 6. And I mean they went deep: Little Samson, Super Spy Hunter, Gimmick!, Metal Storm, Journey To Silius, Shatterhand, and Vice Project Doom, are all included. They even show off some homebrew, import only, and unreleased games.

Very nice stuff.
