Poll: So, Will You Be Getting A Copy Of Rosalina's Storybook?

After they announced it, I put in a preorder. I'm a sucker for kids books based off of games. Also I just loved it in Galaxy anyway.

Yup! My copy already came in today.

Will definitely get a copy for my niece & nephew.

Ordered one for my kids for Christmas. They regularly boot up Mario Galaxy just to read the book.

Maybe one day, but the fact that the new pages are missing just kinda rubs me the wrong way. It's cool that it exists though.

Yes I bought it, I'm a sucker for taking objects that exist in a game/movie/tv show & making real life versions of them.

Examples that spring to mind are the Sports Almanac from Back to the Future, Journal 3 from Gravity Falls or the Wind Waker baton from some game I remember playing, I think it was called "the boat that couldn't speed up".

My copy arrived today as well. It's a really beautiful book. Also a great story book for a child.

Sadly there is no Dutch version, so it's not really suitable for little children here.

Honestly it's really hard for me to ever considering doubling down on merch like this, even for my favorite series.
Most I have are a few figurines and small metal posters I hung in my room.

I can't justify the pricing on artbooks like this most of the time personally, probably because I'm extremely paranoid of ruining it myself barely even looking at it.

Thanks for the reminder that this book is now available. Just thinking of this story brings tears to my eyes. I will order it ASAP.
Coincidentally my last order from My Nintendo is currently in the mail...

I honestly forgot this was out so soon until I saw it in the Nintendo Today app. I'll pick this up down the line when it hopefully gets a slight discount.

Not even remotely interested, but it is a neat idea.

I’ll get mine anytime now after preordering on Amazon when it was first available. Should be good to occasionally revisit just like Nintendo’s art books from Dark Horse I’ve gotten. Not having the new final chapter is a shame knowing how good it is, but it’s not a deal breaker.

Got a little almost 2 year old nephew that i think would enjoy me reading it to him so yeah I'm getting it. He's just starting to talk and the other day he said Nintendo and i just about died from cuteness overload 😍

He's not old enough to really know what Nintendo is yet but he's got the word down.

I’m not into collectibles and display items, and my kids are way past the age for this type of thing, so not for me. Really cool item though.

I'd be a bit more interested if it had the new pages from the Switch version, it would be nice to have an official way to read those without rebuying the games.

The Galaxy games are two of my absolute favorites ever, as you can tell by my handle. I’ve played them probably more than any other game except maybe SMB3 and Mario 64. But I have just never cared about the Rosalina storybook part of the game at all. Don’t think I ever even really paid attention to the story

@JimNorman could there be an option in the poll for "Yes, as soon as I can!" or something like that? I forgot today was the launch day, and none of the option present that very well lol.

It's great that it exists, but no, I am not going to get it. The Rosalina Amiibo on the other hand. I might just bite for that one, seeing as it's so cute with the Lumas surrounding her.

Nah, not worth it. Sorry.

Regarding the book missing the new pages, based on what I've seen online, aren't the new pages actually located in Galaxy 2 and concern the events of that game specifically? Or were there also new pages added in Galaxy 1?

If it's the former case and the book still has all the pages from Galaxy 1, then that makes it worth it in my eyes.

Ive brought up 3 kids to love Nintendo like me. Wind the clock back 15 years ish and would have purchased in a heartbeat for bedtime stories.

Not ready for it yet, but look forward to grandkids one day and bits like this.

..... none of them liked Transformers, Thundercats or He Man but I got them into Nintendo 👍

Nope. It's not worth the price in my opinion

Impossible not to sit and read it without that music chiming away in the background.

The book looks cute, but I don't think I want to get the book.
I think i'm interested to get Grimmerie book from WICKED so I can pretend chanting the spells from the book. 😅

Got it from Amazon.co.uk.
£17.99 is ok. It’s galaxy. Itsa Mario. Wahooo

Wow these percentage of people that would buy this surprised me. Im in the now way category, maybe if we had kids but what else would I do with it.

@SuperBro64 There's a brand new Epilogue to the Galaxy 1 storybook they added after you beat the game. At the very least I don't remember Rosalina with a guitar in the original version.

@Samuel-Flutter Just confirmed that on the Super Mario Wiki, yeah. After reading it, I can say that, while it's a nice epilogue, I think I'm fine without it being in the real book. The original ending is good enough for me.

I saw this article on the front page, and I made sure to click on it, vote, and scroll all the way down so that I could say "no."

If I were a 7 year old girl I would consider it, but since I'm not, nah

Normally I would, love to see Nintendo do something like this. And my kids love picture books. But knowing them they wouldn't take the story too well. It's too heavy and sad for very young children. In my opinion.

@Samuel-Flutter

I'm quite ignorant of this genre,
are there many children's books based on games?

Well, I didn't know it was out, but I've made my order now!

@Uncle_Franklin Not really, but there was a Final Fantasy Chocobo children's book put out last year-ish. Being able to share my hobbies with my young kids in a format they like is rare enough, that I really jump on the opportunities when I see it.
