HG101 - Complete Guide to the Famicom Disk System

Hubz

Hi all,



I've co-authored a book all about the Famicom Disk System with Kurt Kalata of Hardcore Gaming 101 fame. If you're interested in this lesser known side (at least to English speakers) of Nintendo's disk system please check it out, I think you'll enjoy it.

Thanks,

Any images of the inside of the book? Do the reviews contain images, are they in color, etc.?

Ordered it as soon as I saw it on Twitter yesterday. Have been looking forward to it for a good while now.



I'm sure it'll look great on my shelf next to a certain NES guidebook.

It's showing as sold out but there should be more copies available later today just FYI.

SoleGooseProductions

Oh wow, full color. I don't normally need another review guide on the shelf, but this looks like it would be worth picking up. Awesome job!

This looks fantastic, I've always been interested in picking up more famicom games! Congrats on the release!

Heads up for FDS Collectors. Just noticed a complete copy of All Night Nippon Super Mario Bros is on Ebay - http://www.ebay.com/itm/All-Night-Nippon-Super-Mario-Bros-Brothers-FDS-Famicom-Disk-System-MEGA-RARE-/162659153664?hash=item25df3db700:g:0ZAAAOSwrtVZr1N7



It's a bit high at asking IMO. But $700-$800 is a fair price for a complete copy. Outside of Clu Clu Land and Tanigawa Kouji no Shogi Shinan II - Extra Lessons this is the third most expensive official FDS release.

Don't know how I missed this post...



Gonna have to get me one of these!!

Better deal than the one I purchased earlier this year (bought the manual separately). I remember seeing the other two on Yahoo Auctions.jp for ~$840 and ~$1400 respectively a few weeks back. There's also a copy of Wakusei Aton Gaiden up on eBay right now, but I'm not 100% sure if it's real based on the seller's other FDS listings.



Got my copy in the mail today. You guys at HG101 did a great job. I'll be sure to read through it throughly over the next few days.

Thanks for the kind words! The Wakusei Aton Gaiden is a fake, if you look closely at the font and compare it to the original you'll notice it's off. I *almost* bought it until I saw that. Would've been a killer price for it!
