The Super Famicom had been in development for years already, but Nintendo had been in no hurry. Nintendo wouldn't launch its 16-bit successor until November 1990 in Japan, August 1991 in America, and April 1992 in the UK. Meanwhile, in America, Sega eventually did extremely well, with Tom Kalinske giving some great anecdotes. It took a while for these competitors to find traction, but in Japan slowly NEC gained popularity in David Sheff's book Game Over, he states Nintendo president Hiroshi Yamauchi viewed NEC as a threat due to its heavy investment in R&D and its inexpensive access to microchips. What you had then was a three-way fight between competing hardware manufacturers in multiple territories. However, when you examine Ginns' recollections alongside several other events from the time - and granted, this is pure speculation on our part - a more interesting picture forms. Ginns maybe didn't pen these himself, but he was supplied with research material ahead of time (we're only a little bit jealous).Īccepting the events as stated shows a fairly conventional scenario of a product or toy maker, Nintendo, branching out into adjacent products and media. However, the two Zelda books, The Crystal Trap and The Shadow Prince, came out between these two dates, in January and February 1992, respectively. The US release, A Link to the Past, came out in April 1992. The Japanese SFC release, Kamigami no Triforce, came out in November 1991. His mentioning of Zelda raises another important point on chronology. One of the perks of the job was getting access to Nintendo's 16-bit hardware before most average US consumers did. Ginns really emphasises the words Super Famicom, so there can be no mistake. "The game and system wasn't available in the US yet," agrees Ginns, explaining, "So they shipped me a Super Famicom and a copy of Mario, and then later a copy of Zelda, as well." The SNES wouldn't arrive for some months. With work starting before June, we were curious about what sort of materials Nintendo provided in order to facilitate the tie-in. Book #7, Dinosaur Dilemma, is the first with an overt SNES connection since it has Yoshi on the cover Amazon US cites this as November 1991. The US edition of book #6 states October 1991. Afterwards, they came out roughly every month UK editions came over about a year later. The second book is also attributed to June. The US release of the SNES hardware along with Super Mario World was around two months later, in August, so the books would have provided a nice build-up. The first book came out in June 1991 this is the date on its copyright page. Here, it's important to lay out the chronology of releases, since there are a few discrepancies online. No problem, though, since Ginns' portfolio provided ample discussion. The copyright page on #9 does list Richard Chevat, while #10 lists Roger Peckinpaugh. We contacted Mr Chevat, though he admitted that after so much time, it was difficult to remember exactly which he'd worked on, and politely declined to be interviewed. I might have his info for you somewhere." I developed the whole series concept, but now that I think about the Zelda titles, I think a guy named Ritchie Chevat was the author of those two. ![]() ![]() I'm trying to recall who wrote the other books. And I'm pretty sure I did 6, but I could be mistaken. "I am confident I wrote books 1, 2, 5, 7 and 8," recalls Ginns, adding that "I might have written 10.
