Before trailers and social media, the magic of video games was found in the pages of magazine. It was there, in those colorful, sometimes noisy, often brilliant inserts, that the first encounter with a game took place.
This unique book brings together more than 150 vintage advertisements for the Super Nintendo and Super Famicom, straight from Japanese and Western magazines of the 1990s. From the ultra-stylized visuals of Japan to the catchy slogans of the French ads, each page tells the story of an era when imagination did the rest. Each advertisement is accompanied by commentary rich in anecdotes, marketing context, and cultural references. Together, they form a true immersion in the golden age of video game advertising—when Nintendo's 16-bit console reigned supreme in gamers' dreams. A pixelated Proustian madeleine for all fans of retro gaming, pop culture, and beautiful images.
