The Nintendo Entertainment System: Unreleased NES Video Games Encyclopedia

By Chris Bores

The first comprehensive book devoted entirely to unreleased Nintendo Entertainment System games, this richly illustrated volume uncovers more than 200 titles that were announced, previewed in magazines, and even showcased at major trade events--yet never reached store shelves.

Video game historian and YouTuber Chris Bores investigates the strange, surprising, and sometimes shocking reasons these games disappeared, from experimental Nintendo concepts to canceled entries tied to iconic franchises like Mario and Donkey Kong.

Featuring rare, digitally enhanced screenshots and meticulous research, this book is an essential resource for NES fans, collectors, and video game history enthusiasts.
