Famicom Commorative Japanese Fine Art Museum Art Book

[James]

Does anyone know if this book is in both Japanese and English or just Japanese?

Everything is in Japanese and English

Great book, must have for Nintendo fans

it is a great book. there is *some* english in it but a lot of it is only in japanese. supposedly every officially released fami game is cataloged in it (including fds) and there are a bunch of pics of hardware and other stuff. lots of interviews with various industry people at the end too.

I don't remember there being anything that wasn't in both languages, but the book is awesome...everyone should own it. It lists every fami and FDS game in the order they were released. There's some great interviews in there.

There's another thread somewhere where I talked about this book, but there's another one that is also very good...can't remember what it is. The "book" I'm trying to think of is actually is a sleave with two books in it...one listing all the fami games, and one all the FDS. These are listed syllabetically, rather than by date. Damn...can't think of it.

i'm at work now or i'd check my copy, but i'm pretty sure that all the hardware stuff is in japanese only for instance.

This is a great book worth having and you're correct, there's really nothing in Japanese that isn't translated into English. The translations are side-by-side. The English is more of a "Japanglish", i.e. oddly translated English. Get it, get it now!

Fami-Complete. Impossible to find, but a wonderful, beautiful book set. All Japanese, but you can still look at the pretty pictures. I've got the book mentioned above, and by a major miracle, my fiancee managed to snag this set for me as well for my birthday a few months back. If you ever find this gem, you'd better be all over that like a hobo on a hot ham sandwich.

Hmmm...I didn't realize it was that rare. I bought it from Amazon.co.jp around 1 to 1.5 years ago. They don't have it anymore?

It's a pain in the ass to set up a amazon JP account, but many of the menus are in English if you choose the English option....but still a pain. I did manage to finally set up an account and get them ordered, as I remember it.
