Hey, folks. I found a fascinating (and nostalgic) picture book at the library over here in Japan, so I had fun scanning all the pages & poring over cool little tidbits in all the photos.

Nice read, although I was expecting a storybook of Mario and the excitebike bloke... On a related note, has anyone translated the manga that came with the early Nintendo Famicom systems?
