This classic videogame art of a mature Mario and Princess Peach graces the cover of Pixel Nation Volume 1
If so, then you have no excuse… You will want to keep your eyes peeled for “Pixel Nation Volume #1“, the first in an all-new magazine-like book series by self-titled new videogame-only publisher “Pixel Nation”; which is just the first in a series of similar products that seek to delve into the new age of videogame-based publications which don’t try to compete with gaming magazines new and old, but instead carve their own niche through the beauty of gaming.
Besides purchasing this great book, you will want to check out other publications that this company offers, including: NES-Bit Magazine System Issue 1, Pixellation Issue 1, Hidden Treasures: Rare & Unappreciated Gems, Mega Drive: Total Issue #1 and The History of Nintendo – Volume 1. The store also has the Pixel Nation videogame forum that I encourage you to check out!
If you are someone who finds what they offer to be very, VERY cool (like myself), then I urge you to put your money where your mouth is and support this type of independent, videogame-focused art. We cry out for it, and people are offering it, let’s join in the revolution and help them succeed!
Here is more information about Pixel Nation the publishing company, and the self-titled quarterly book series “Pixel Nation”:
Pixel Nation is a fiercely independant publishing company, specializing in hardprint publications about video game history, art, design and culture. We celebrate our independance and all that brings to us, allowing us to create bespoke niche market products of the highest artistic integrity, products that a mainstream corporate publisher could never take on board.
Pixel Nation is an organically created, independantly run company, celebrating all that is positive and unique about limited edition print medium.
About the Pixel Nation – Quarterly Book Series
Pixel Nation Publishing has some very exciting books planned for 2012 and beyond. But our very first published work will be our self-titled “Pixel Nation” quarterly book series. This quarterly, professional publication is a high quality, full color, glossy, 100-page A5 book, dedicated to classic videogames, in particular; focusing on the beautiful art and design of those classic games, and hopefully inspiring our readers to consider the contribution humble videogames have made to their lives.
There has been an opinion that printed medium is dying, with future communication and media being the sole realm of the Internet, but Pixel Nation must disagree. Print media is not dying, it is just evolving. Pixel Nation will not attempt to compete with the myriad of online sources for the same subject matter, nor compete with similar corporate published magazines.
We believe in a technological age where media is being buried behind layers of simulation, there is a great deal to be said for an actual tactile, high quality, printed item.
Pixel Nation is not tied down by the corporate homogenization and limitations placed on traditional magazines and books on this subject. It is filled with informative, thought-provoking articles, exclusive interviews, high quality artwork, and much more. Pixel Nation will not try to be a chronicle of gaming news, rather a timeless art and reference guide to games both classic and modern that carry with them the spirit of retro, and with content that will never be out of date.
Pixel Nation is unlike any video game publication you have ever experienced, so throw away the rulebook, because Pixel Nation has arrived! This is a Nation without borders! Are you ready for the revolution?
