Listing strategy guides

[Glowsquid]

short story short, we found out on IRC that Wario somehow has two official guides from separate publishers. MarioWiki:Naming says Nintendo Power is an higher priority than other guides, but it'd still be interesting to say what games have multiple competing guides and compare them, as it's still official information.

Since the wiki doesn't comprehensively list strategy guides anywhere, I thought it would be a good idea to make such a list and see if there any conflicts. so yeah, if you know of any official guides not listed here, feel free to post.

The original discussion that spawned this was about Prima vs Nintendo Power, but any other official guides from other publishers (such as Bradygames) fits too.

How far back can we go

As long as it's official, date doesn't matter.

so, there's a list of all the Mario games with Nintendo Power at Nintendo Power

... Forgot that pagederp.

Looking at that list made me wonder, though, would Mario Mania deserve its own page? It's marketed as a strategy guide but it also doubles as an encyclopedia and retrospective book for the games up to Super Mario World.

It is official, and it focuses specifically on the Mario series... Sure, I think it could have an article.
