fcgamer | 4,721 Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 If we pre-order, do we get charged during the pre-order, or after it ships? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Link | 2,709 Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 What will be in volume 2 and the possible volume 3? Will the videos at the QR. codes be downloadable? Would you consider a DVD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiamiSlice | 3,089 Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Ordered! I love this stuff. Very little info out there about it, so it's great to see this level of effort into cataloguing this history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWunderful | 2,927 Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 I preordered because it looks like a great coffee table book and is different, but that 21$ shipping fee is rough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now max should be $14.99 in the US if you choose the economy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mega Tank | 960 Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Preordered. With info on this being so scattered, it's nice seeing it being put together like this. I don't recall going to mom and pop shops around here so it's cool seeing pics like the ones in the previews. Looking forward to reading this!

Tanooki | 4,931 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 So reading the samples I see this is clearly about their merchandising arm of the company and the centerpiece of all the various displays, racks, props, dangling signs and more largely around World of Nintendo but other earlier/after stuff too and NP magazine included. is that why this stops in 1990 and doesn't go deeper into the early 90s when they still would crank out some stuff like for the top loader era? And since a SNES book is fully planned, how will this work out differently since there was no Super World of Nintendo program going on, largely just more displays and kiosks.

Covers other aspects like Promotions and the World Class Service. But yes this is merchandising. The reason it doesn't go past 1990 is it is sequential and I wanted to cover as much as possible without making a gigantic book with information overload. There is a clear breaking point at the end of 1990 where SNES starts to pickup. And the company goes through some changes. The World of Nintendo program goes well through the SNES era into around 1996. The next volume will be about that too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
