The NES-ential Celebration is a premium hardcover tribute to the console that changed everything. This richly designed book features essays, retrospectives, and visual spreads exploring the legacy of the NES—how it redefined gaming, reshaped pop culture, and inspired a generation.
Curated and edited by veteran journalist Tom Regan, the book brings together an incredible lineup of contributors including Patrick Klepek, Christian Donlan, Andy Kelly, Jeremy Ray, Gav Murphy, Jen Glennon, Mike Diver, and even legendary developers like Takaya Imamura (Star Fox) and Jordan Mechner (Prince of Persia). Each voice offers a unique perspective on the games, the hardware, the marketing, and the unforgettable moments that defined the 8-bit era.
Also included in the campaign The NES Vault—a full companion book cataloging every officially licensed NES game released in North America, presented in chronological order. With box art, start screens, and concise writeups for each title, it’s the ultimate reference for collectors and fans.
