Some may say that $60 is too high, but when you consider the cost of production, the man hours and all the people that helped, $60 is quite a reasonable price.
International shipping options have been added - UltimateNES.com Please note that I am not making a profit on shipping - prices reflect the cost of shipping a 6+ pound book across borders!
I understand this but 45$ USD for shipping to canada is insane. Now I am torn .. thinking about getting the digital version but I would really rather have a physical copy.
I would buy and read this book in a heartbeat. I'll do what I can to support it and spread the word, my friend!! ...looks like you guys are already well beyond the goal -- but I'll still spread the word anyway, because this is DOPE!
Congratulations Pat on your hard work and dedication to this project. the NES was such a large part of my childhood that I will never forget. I am genuinely excited to see a single curated source of all the games for the system, most of which I've never heard of. I'm proud to back your project!
Pat, I'm a huge fan, really love all your stuff and I can't get enough of the podcast. Just stopped by to say how happy I am to see that your book was immediately funded and I look forward to pledging my contribution on pay day. Cheers!
Thank you all for your support in already getting the book funded! International buyers: please be patient, as your shipping option will be available soon after I hear back from the printing house on precise shipping charges. Thanks!
Good work Pat, much love bro! I heard over time from the comments you were working day and night for years working on this book. Will definitely pre -order
Wanted to say thank you for making a book like this as the NES is one of my favorite systems and I cannot seem to stop wanting to learn more about all the games on it. I wish there were books that looked as good as this one for other systems. Can't wait until my copy comes in the mail!!!
Definitely gonna get both versions. On a side note, big props to you and Ian for doing the NES marathons. That's a very noble act you guys do. Keep up the great work and maybe I'll run into you at Kobes swap meet someday.
I've been waiting years for the old Digital Press Retro guide to come back in print but it never has. This NES book looks really well done and exactly what I was looking for regarding NES rarity and accessibility.
Contrary to what some people think, $60 is a completely reasonable price for a hardcover book with this kind of colored pages and a small print run. Actually I would have thought the price would be closer to $80. I definitely hope this will be a success for you, this looks like some great quality work!
Pat, u never seemed to me to be someone who would write a book. You are full of surprises. I want this book for Christmas. It definitely seems worthy of my time! Thank u for everything. From cheering me up, to writing a book, I really enjoy your content
Hey Pat, Just pre ordered the book, I'm a huge fan. I got the digital and physical copy. There shouldve been an option to have you sign it though, I would've paid extra for that. Anyhow, can't wait to get it. Thanks for hours of entertainment. -Fred
Congrats on smashing that kickstarter goal in no time at all. You've been working on this forever it seems so glad to see that all that hard work wasn't for nothing.
I've asked Santa for this in my stocking.....let's hope I've been a good boy.......and my lass get all the subtle hints I've been dropping, seriously well done pat this looks like a labour of love for you mate.
I discover your youtube channel by James Rolfe as watching is channel Angry video game nerd and both you do fantastic works incredible !! Since a year or so I begin to collect everithing from video games, as game consoles, video games and collectibles and stuff, and in withing a year my collection grow intensely, thanks for my good income haha !! I wish so bad to have some great quality reference book in my collection, as it's praticle for collectors but so great to add in a good collection as so nice to read. Then as watching some of your video by your channel, I find this video, and Absolutely WoW !!! That's sooo much work you done there, and the quality of your books soooo impressive, as I see they are very great quality, work and very impressive piece of Art, I couldn't resist, I just ordered in the last 5 minutes your books from NES library and SNES library, both in hardcover, can't wait to see them I'm very exited !! Well congratulation for all your exellent work that's very a Masterpiece to own and thanks sooo much for doing this !! If someday you do the same about Sega Genesis I will defenetly buy it, but I know you are very much about Nes stuff, have an awesome day Pat and keep up your exellent work !! :)
I'm so glad you listed PAL exclusives also! Otherwise it would have felt incomplete. Would be great one day to have a famicom exclusives also... Maybe a stretch goal?
YO Pat!!! I'm all over this!! Count me in on buying a physical copy of your book. Love all your stuff and own all your DVD's and stuff. I do need to buy your shirts which I'll do soon. I'm looking forward to your book as it is going to be the next big thing since the Official Nintendo Players Guide Book which I totally Loved! I'm very happy to see your success in what you are doing and I'm glad to support all your hard work. You Da Man! Thanks! : )
+Pat the NES Punk No Thank You! You've inspired me in so many ways in the NES world as I'm a collector now first and I do actually play my games and appreciate them since it has nostalgic value to me from fond memories growing up as a young kid teen. This is my hobby and I love it. I'm so glad to have found your channel and many others like the AVGN, The Chodes, etc. You all helped me to find who I am as a person if that sounds crazy. This is my gig and I don't take it for granted. I just enjoy this hobby and your entertainment. Sorry for the long message. Just wanted you to know that your work inspires peeps like me and I feed off your positive energy. Plus Frank and Ian are a bonus. lol. : )
Just pledged for the combo. This is a fantastic project. Looks like it is going to be done beautifully, professionally, and with a great deal of care and love by a crew of Nintendo Nerd royalty. This is the kind of book I would have expected Nintendo to put out, but I doubt even the Big N could have done it better.
finally a kickstart page with no super duper special editions or other tat lookin forward to getting one shipped to scotland! keep up the hard work pat
going to get one and maybe an other 1 or 2 more for gifts. love the idea even though my love lays with snes. would love to see snes book with the turbografx thrown in
Pat, you are awesome. I would love to have a hardcopy of this book. When you showed up the section my memory had recalled (immediately) the booklets that came with each cartridge. Oh boy, what good times those were... (Excuse my caveman English, I'm not so sure if what I wrote is... understandable, jajajaja). Keep up the good work. I laughed a lot on the dinosaur painting game.
"The NES library is arguably the most varied in videogame history" Would be a pretty short argument me thinks, there's plenty of systems with much bigger and more varied libraries. For 8 bit systems it's up there but the Spectrum eclipses it with around 10 000 games alone not including apps. Every type of game the NES has the Speccy has and then some. Still this looks like a decent reference book, hopefully it'll get worldwide distribution. With shipping the price is a bit steep for me in the UK (I'm guessing around 100 dollars). Sort of thing I'd snap up in a heartbeat though if I could pay around 20-30 quid from a UK seller.
Pretty neat looking setup for the book. I might just get it so I can mark off (in pencil) which carts and variants I have, in addition to the reviews of course.
Awesome stuff Pat thanks for putting all the time, effort & money into this book! Hope that shipping to Europe becomes possible! :-) regards from Vienna
Sharing as much as I can. Been waiting for this for a long time. If you haven't done so I highly suggest contacting the guys who do the Awesome Game Done Quick marathon every year, and seeing if you guys can do some cross promotional stuff, I think it'd help A LOT and I want this to succeed. Hope all goes well!
This looks great! ... P.S Might want to fix this first line typo of an extra 'the' on the KS page - thorough look at the one of the greatest video game libraries of all time
I'd love to get this book but with the Canadian dollar so low and shipping being crazy expensive from the US to Canada. Unfortunately I can't back it at this time...
I am in the same boat up here in Canada - I'll have to wait until international shipping options arise... Full disclosure - I've never once backed anything on Kickstarter. I've never really seen anything that made me go "wow, I need to have that game\see that movie\hear that music\whatever". You'll be glad to hear this book changes that. I also bought Family Computer 1983 - 1994 at The Gaming Historian's suggestion, but it is now in mail purgatory - Canada's Undeliverable Mail Office in Ottawa - more than likely never to be seen again. That gives me more of an incentive to buy this one! But yeah, I'll be checking in for an update on international shipping. :)
Well hot damn Pat, it's about time someone published a comprehensive hardback NES book, I'm in! Ever consider shipping these yourself to offer an autograph tier for yours and Ian's Herbie Hancock?
Some may say that $60 is too high, but when you consider the cost of production, the man hours and all the people that helped, $60 is quite a reasonable price.
+SupraViperhead If it's a glossy hardback A4 sized book, then it could easily be that high. Especially if it's a first print run.
International shipping options have been added - UltimateNES.com Please note that I am not making a profit on shipping - prices reflect the cost of shipping a 6+ pound book across borders!
Can't wait for the Megaman Reviews hahaha-
If you can describe the games in one word Pat "Suck" next games
+Pat the NES Punk By some magic I missed the Kickstarter but want a book. How can I order one?
+Trent Nix Head to ultimateNES.com!
Hey CAMZAB Its 65 usd to ship to the UK apparently, good luck with that bud!
I understand this but 45$ USD for shipping to canada is insane. Now I am torn .. thinking about getting the digital version but I would really rather have a physical copy.

Pat, I've watched you on and off since early days. I will be buying this for my friend this Christmas. She will love it. Keep doing what you love.
Pat, I'm a huge fan, really love all your stuff and I can't get enough of the podcast. Just stopped by to say how happy I am to see that your book was immediately funded and I look forward to pledging my contribution on pay day. Cheers!
I am glad to see that the Pat's goal is reached. He deserved it.
Thank you all for your support in already getting the book funded! International buyers: please be patient, as your shipping option will be available soon after I hear back from the printing house on precise shipping charges. Thanks!
Been waiting on this, can't wait till pay day to contribute to the kickstarter. Thanks Pat for all your hard work and keeping the NES in our hearts.
Its absolutely inspiring to see how much love and effort went into this project. I am truly amazed. Congrats on making this happen pat.
Good work Pat, much love bro! I heard over time from the comments you were working day and night for years working on this book. Will definitely pre -order

Pat thanks for this book man, I'm going to be ordering it this week and it looks to be everything I've ever wanted in a compendium.
Definitely gonna get both versions. On a side note, big props to you and Ian for doing the NES marathons. That's a very noble act you guys do. Keep up the great work and maybe I'll run into you at Kobes swap meet someday.
I don't even care this is an ad. you deserve it for all the hard work you have done.
This is awesome! Pat & Ian are the best voices on TH-cam. Period. Period.
I've been waiting years for the old Digital Press Retro guide to come back in print but it never has. This NES book looks really well done and exactly what I was looking for regarding NES rarity and accessibility.
Im glad that this is super funded at the moment. I have been hearing you talk about this for awhile and Im super excited to read this book.
Contrary to what some people think, $60 is a completely reasonable price for a hardcover book with this kind of colored pages and a small print run. Actually I would have thought the price would be closer to $80. I definitely hope this will be a success for you, this looks like some great quality work!
+eirh Thank you!
I can tell this book is going to be frigging awesome. Hope you make another book like this in the future!
This is very awesome Pat! I can only imagine the work and passion that went into this, but I'll definitely back it. Great job man. :)
Pat, u never seemed to me to be someone who would write a book. You are full of surprises. I want this book for Christmas. It definitely seems worthy of my time! Thank u for everything. From cheering me up, to writing a book, I really enjoy your content
+Dova Kris Thank you!
This was a wonderful idea Pat. I wish I could get my hands on this kind of book for every console.
Hi, Pat. You met your goal, now books are free. Very thanks!
I was waiting for this! Just backed it. Congratulations on already having reached the goal, Pat!
Hey Pat,
Just pre ordered the book, I'm a huge fan. I got the digital and physical copy. There shouldve been an option to have you sign it though, I would've paid extra for that. Anyhow, can't wait to get it. Thanks for hours of entertainment.
-Fred
That takes some insane dedication. It's not even out but in sure it's amazing.
I'll be waiting for the International shipping option
+Coffera I'm waiting to hear back from the printing house. Grrrrrr
Pat the NES Punk
Yeah it's a tricky process, I hope there won't be import costs as well *shudders*
This will REVOLUTIONIZE my bowel movements.
I would keep this in my bathroom book section too lol
Ordered it up yesterday. Can't wait to get it. Keep up the great work Pat.
Excited for this pat. Thank you for your work on it. Sharing with everyone I can.
I hope your hard work pays off Pat! You certainly deserve it. I'll be sure to pick up a copy
Congrats on smashing that kickstarter goal in no time at all. You've been working on this forever it seems so glad to see that all that hard work wasn't for nothing.
What a monumental endeavor. Very impressed, Pat.
Gotta say, It looks good, Pat.
Backed it on Kickstarter for a physical copy, can't wait to read it!
+SonGara Thanks!
Wow - Kickstarter target smashed..... 27 days left to go. Well done Pat!

This is awesome pat! You are a dedicated retro gamer/collector man! I want one!!!!
If you come to ConBravo in 2016 I hope you bring a few of these with you as shipping to Canada has been getting rather ridiculous lately.
Yes Pat, Cumberland Farms still exists.
How I was randomly drawn to that I haven't a clue...
Your series are the best Pat!
Haha, wow.....already more than doubled the pledge goal. Nice going! Definitely gonna get me a copy of this for sure.
I want this book so much...might need to buy despite shipping charges overseas.

Love your book Pat! It's a true work of art worth every penny.
NOOO! I just saw this! Is there another page we can still make pledges? I Need this book in my life!

Sharing as much as I can. Been waiting for this for a long time. If you haven't done so I highly suggest contacting the guys who do the Awesome Game Done Quick marathon every year, and seeing if you guys can do some cross promotional stuff, I think it'd help A LOT and I want this to succeed.

I have to say, this looks like a totally kickass resource. I'll have my butler purchase one.
