Dark Horse Publishing has partnered with Nintendo for the release of the Super Mario Encyclopedia, which will be arriving in the U.S. on October 23, 2018. The book will contain 256 pages looking back at three decades’ worth of Mario history, and will retail for $39.99.
The book actually first released in Japan in 2015 as part of the 30th anniversary celebration of the legendary gaming franchise, but this marks the first time that it’ll be available in English.
The Mario gaming franchise includes the Super Mario, Mario Kart, and Mario Party series, as well as roleplaying games and sports titles as well. Having sold more than 500 million copies across every game in the franchise, the Mario series is the bestselling video game series of all time.
