We're fans of the Boss Fight Books series here at Nintendo Life, as it often takes alternative and interesting approaches to assessing and studying iconic video games. Some Nintendo classics have been covered so far across the various volumes, including Super Mario Bros. 2, Chrono Trigger and EarthBound.
The great news is that you can now pick up 11 books from the series at a bargain price, as you're able to pay what you want over on StoryBundle. You get DRM-free eBooks and can even have them sent straight to your Kindle, for example; if you pay over $15 you get all of them. Of course you can pay more if you value the bundle higher, and split the payment between StoryBundle and Boss Fight Books, with an optional 10% for charity.

It's worth also noting that Boss Fight Books has run a successful Kickstarter campaign for its next series. At the time of writing it's raised about $23,000 of its modest $5000 goal, with 26 days still to go. That series will include a book about Super Mario Bros. 3.
Check out the bundle and Kickstarter campaigns and let us know if you're planning to pitch in.

Is this an ad or an article?
Please Nintendolife... Don't turn into Kotaku.
@Toincoss how about the humble bundle article?
could say the same thing there... technically its both.
Bible Adventures?
@Toincoss Just enthusiastic for an awesome bundle. After a week with quite a lot of bad news I consider that something to enjoy.
In summary, I don't do ads, but I don't do po-faced flat articles for neat things either. In my opinion, that is!
Very cool, thanks for the information. Excellent choice of games as well, particularly interested in the Jagged Alliance 2 book!
I can concur without bias or prejudice that this is a sweet value proposition. Think about it: Books are like videogames... for your brain!
These covers are genius.
I'd love to get in on that, but I know I'd never read them if I didn't have print copies. I'm an old fart.
@Cakes especially the "choose your own adventure" kind.
@Toincoss
if you don't wanna read articles saying "here's a thing you could buy that I think is good" maybe a video game review site isn't the best place to hang out
@Uberchu Big difference is that humble bundle includes official Nintendo products (games) and also Nintendo is marketing it in their eshop.
@ThomasBW84
Thanks for responding. I see the difference now. I think I was being a little salty.
The Humble Bundle Nintendo thing I liked because I have interest and they are video games otherwise already talked about on this site - while this one was a bunch of books I don't care about.
Anyways - I'm in the wrong on this one, keep up the good work.
PS: Please dont turn into Kotaku.
I'm glad you put up this article. I bought the basic tier (I might upgrade before it's over), and I've been reading the Bible Adventures book. I could do without the occasional condescension about Christianity, but other than that the book is well-written and enjoyable, though I won't be able to look at my copy of the game in the same light anymore...
These books are pretty cool if anyone is on the fence. The pricing is good too. These guys have got a pretty good sensibility when it comes to regarding games as art.
@bro2dragons They exist as physical books too! https://bossfightbooks.com/collections/books/products/boss-fight-bookshelf
@Cakes I'm well aware and they've been on my to-purchase list for a while. I'm just lamenting that this bargain is only for the digitals.
