    Hi guys !
    Just saw this today so I thought I'd give the news here.

    Pix'n'love is a french society which has been publishing very interesting mooks and books about retro gaming history for the last three years.
    Bought all their stuff and I must say it's always pretty damn good reads with a lot of interesting and precious information.

    They just started to get their stuff translated in english, starting with their "History of nintendo" stuff (thus me creating this topic)
    You can find them here:

    The famicom book will be released soon in french, as a biography of gunpei yokoi.
    I know they are already working on the super famicom one
    I have no infos on english versions, since they just started to translate their stuff.
    They will definitely come sooner or later though so stay tuned

    I was thinking why would that book be necessary since we already have Game Over and Ultimate Video Game History, but now I see that it's about the history before the Famicom! Looks fantastic. Will order one as soon!

    I love videogame history books.

    The author of Pix n Love contacted me over a month ago.
    They were working on the cover of the translated Gunpei Yokoi biography.
    The author was looking for a specific photo of the late Gunpei Yokoi.
    I'm delighted to say that I helped contribute to the cover :thumbsup:

    Finally, Mr. Yokoi getting the respect he well-deserved, decades ago. :clap:
    Can't wait for the English translated copy.

    A bit repetitive but very nice publication: going deep in video game history, lots of trivia, unknown facts, printed on nice paper. I'm buying them since the first issue.

    Nice books, too bad I haven't read/spoke french since 10th grade

    Anyways, it's really sad when this:
