Remember this book used to release outside of Japan in English on June 2017.
Dark Horse finally announced that the English translation will release on October 23, 2018, for US$39.99.
 
I hope they actually release it this time- not just say "It's coming, it's coming!". I also hope they release it over here in Britain, not just in America.

If you look up the words "late" and "overpriced" in the dictionary, you'll see pictures of various Nintendo products.

Has that ever stopped us from buying them?

And Australia too.
I am annoyed that I didn't purchase Hyrule Historia at the convention, because it is expensive (AU$90).
 
For it to cost almost like a game it has to be a big ass encyclopedia with HD quality in every part possible.
 
that's mighty expensive
 
to be fair it looks the same price of other similar books in stores
at least that i've seen

well, as an indication, you might get a more than A4 book like the German translation, which is so big I cannot even scan full pages. The Spanish book is slightly bigger than the Japanese one, and both have an hard cover, by the way.

Lol if they go the Spanish transaltion way and call Bowser "king of the turtle tribe/family" - with no mention of the Koopas as turtle-like creatures beside enemy names - and call all Magikoopas, even the SMW ones, "Kamek"...
 
I hope that one day we will get the definitive Mario encyclopedia where it will go all the way back to 1981, where not only does it go through Mario's first game, it also goes through Mario's first titled game (Mario Bros.) and some early spin-offs like Wrecking Crew. I guess they go through in this book, but I doubt it because it listed 1985 as the year, so I don't think Donkey Kong (game) is covered.

Thank you for reading.
