The NES is one of the most iconic video game systems of all time, often credited with saving the US video game industry in the early 80s. The NES Encyclopedia is the first complete reference guide to every game released on the Nintendo Entertainment System, the first gaming system that defined Nintendo's industry. It covers all 714 officially licensed NES games, as well as more than 160 unlicensed games released during its lifetime, providing for the first time a definitive history of this important console's entire library.

Written by a retro gaming expert with 30 years of experience and a penchant for cheesy jokes, the NES Encyclopedia promises to be as informative as it is entertaining with rich information, color screens, and little-known facts.

The NES continues to enjoy a strong cult following among Nintendo fans and gamers in general, with a variety of officially licensed merchandise being popular: both for older fans who remember it from the first time, and for younger gamers discovering the system for the first time through the regular re-releases of Nintendo's old games. Nintendo's latest console, the Switch, is the fastest-selling video game console of all time in the United States and Japan.

Nintendo recently launched an ever-growing library of classic NES games for download on the Switch, meaning a new audience of gamers is discovering the NES for the first time.
