Additional information has surfaced about the new Playing With Super Power: Nintendo Super NES Classics book. Prima will be publishing it alongside the SNES Classic Edition later this month.

Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime wrote the exclusive foreword. Oh, and the hardcover version has a slipecase.

Update (8/20): The Super Mario Odyssey Collector’s Edition guide is currently $6.39 off on Amazon. Amazon Canada has it off for $19.92.

Original (8/15): Prima is continuing its relationship with Nintendo for another big guide. When Super Mario Odyssey launches at the end of October, it will be accompanied by a new guide.

The guide will come in two versions. Amazon lists a standard release as well as a collector’s edition (Amazon Canada here and here). The former is 320 pages and paperback while the latter is 336 pages and hardcover.

In terms of what the guide offers, that’s a bit of a mystery right now. It will obviously include gameplay information and tips, but Amazon’s description hasn’t updated. We’ll keep an eye on the listings for any future news.

Thanks to Wagner C for the tip.
