Hurrah! French outfit Pix’n Love Publishing is translating its book on Gunpei Yokoi, creator of the Game Boy, the directional pad, the Game & Watch, and many other Nintendo innovations. It’s titled Gunpei Yokoi: Life And Philosophy Of Nintendo’s ‘God Of Toys’.

I believe this is the same book as the inventor’s Yokoi Gunpei Game House autobiography (co-authored by Takefumi Makino, who is also credited as the writer on the Pix’n Love listing), but I could be wrong on that.

The book is slated to release in the first quarter of 2012 for £24.99 ($40). Pix’n Love also has two other English translation projects on the way early next year for The History of Nintendo - Vol.2 and The History of Mario.
