Got a new book today, straight from Japan, called Fami-Complete. Celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Nintendo Famicom, this double volume set includes information on the entire 1,249 library of the system. Every game has an image of the boxart, the cart, the title screen, and a gameplay screen, along with info about each. It's basically the definitive volume on the system.

There's also a section on "gagets", basically info about the system itself and various peripherals. This shows some rather unique items, such as the Nintendo 3D glasses, which are very similar to the ones Sega used on thier Master System. There's also a section on rare items, like gold carts, and special prize carts.

The major barrier to entry here is the Japanese. There's very little english at all. Of course I'm hoping this helps me on my quest to learn Japanese, but for now at least it's cool just to see all the pictures, and the amazing library for the system. It's hard to believe it's already been 20 years.
