[Surprise! Bonus guest post! -jc]

Pix’n Love is a French publisher entirely devoted to videogame publications. Together with their regular volumes, blending the book and magazine formats, they’ve also specialized in the creation of works concerning specific subjects: such is the case of this “L’Integrale des Jeux: Nintendo DS”, a 2009 release covering the entire European DS games catalogue in alphabetic order, each title with its own release data and capsule review. According to the publisher, this book will be reprinted regularly so as to keep the games list updated. They also stated that the Nintendo DS platform is only the beginning as many other systems, including the beloved Sega Dreamcast, are planned to follow sometime in the near future.

Across its 188 pages, printed in full color, there are other interesting venues that include a lengthy introduction about the origins of the DS, the different prototypes created during research and development stages, some of the most emblematic Nintendo advertising campaigns from around the world, as well as high-quality pictures of the numerous collector’s editions of the console. All those interested in acquiring it should head over to the Pix’n Love online store where this and many other titles (including the must have “History of Nintendo” volumes) and collectables can be purchased for very fair prices. If you’re having trouble ordering the books please have a look at this video tutorial. Meanwhile, have a look at some more page previews.
