So to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the N64 in September 2016 some guys have decided to make an entire anthology of all things 64 and have thus made a kickstarter for the book.  The kickstarter is very well on the way on to their goal, about 2/3's there with the Euro conversion, and with 23 days left but a little extra help and awareness that this is a thing doesn't hurt.  And if you guys have the money if you give at least $91 or 80 Euros you can get 1 of the 500 art books they have detailing the box art of at least 750 N64 games, otherwise the standard editon will set you back by $45 or 40 Euros and the Collector's Edition will be $57 or 50 Euros.  The only difference between the editions are the Collectors editon comes with an extra chapter detailing Advertising of the N64 around the world and a slip cover.

Unfortunately all the exclusive custom Zelda 64 consoles are gone if anyone was crazy enough to give 500 Euros or $569 here.

Now if you'll excuse me I need to deal with that fact that I feel old again.

This reminds me of the "History of the Sega Genesis" book that I've got. If I had the means (and money) to contribute to this I definitely would, even though I never owned an N64 as a kid. I've always loved reading stuff like this.

Considering they got interviews with Rare and Titus plus a few other I think this has less of a chance to get a C&D, not to mention there are plenty of video game books like this out there, my bro  got a comprehensive one of the Console Wars of Nintendo and Sega a while back, with more focus on Sega.

However those usually don't have pictures like this does, especially with that Art Book but I don't think this would get a C&D since this is like one huge ass reasearch project.  Then again it could be wishful thinking on my part.
