Think you've played the best 8-bit games? Discover the Famicom favorites that were big in Japan 👾

Beyond the NES is a 300+ page English language guide to the Japanese Famicom, created for retro fans who only ever knew the NES. After a clear introduction to the hardware, the book dives into reviews of over 500 games that you can enjoy without reading Japanese, from overlooked gems to fan favorites that never left Japan. You will learn simple tricks for navigating menus and common Japanese terms so more of the library opens up, plus get tips on how to play Famicom titles on your existing setups, including your childhood NES. Along the way, you will find deep dives into history, peripherals, bootlegs, notorious kusoge, Japan only cheat codes, and interviews with dedicated Famicom fans and historians. Back Beyond the NES on Kickstarter now.
