The History of Nintendo Volume 2 Out on 15th December
Posted by James Newton
Pre-orders open
The History of Nintendo: Volume 1 spanned the company's beginnings up until the creation of the Game & Watch, setting things up nicely for the second volume, which deals exclusively with Gunpei Yokoi's LCD wonder.
The History of Nintendo: Volume 2 — 1980-1991: The Game & Watch games, an amazing invention to give its rather lengthy title, has just been given a 15th December release date by Pix 'n Love Publishing.
At 200 pages and over 1,500 pictures it should be an extremely in-depth account of one of the most important pieces of Nintendo hardware, and a snip at £24.99 with free worldwide shipping.
You can preview and pre-order the book right now.

I can't get over how much the old Game & Watch resembles a DS.

as it says 1980-1991, i'm hoping it will have plenty of pics, info on the game and watch series, as well as N.E.S, gameboy consoles and games.
this is the ideal xmas gift for the die-hard nintendo fan!

Assuming that the NES was also out during this time frame and is not pictured on the cover that Volume 3 will focus on the NES?
edit @misswliu81: I dont think this volume will include the NES and Gameboy.

@Ryno Looking at my copy of Volume 1, the back flap of the book lists 4 volumes for the History of Nintendo series.
Vol.1: 1880-1980 From playing cards to Game & Watch
Vol.2: The Game & Watch games, an amazing invention
Vol.3: The NES/Famicom
Vol.4: The Game Boy series

If you go to the French version of the site you'll see that Volume 3 is already out in French and covers the Famicom/NES era.

Man, I hope that they go beyond volume 4. I'd love to have books that go into the history of the systems past the NES and Game Boy (especially the SNES)!

You mean you can't believe how much the DS resembles a dual screen Game and Watch.
