Manual cover and "Profile" page from the Lylat Wars "big box" European manual (N64, 1997), known as Star Fox 64 outside of PAL regions.
Unlike traditional N64 manuals, this version which came with the game & rumble pak is almost A4 in size and contains more full-colour pages.

You're right! Unfortunately young man named Stefan had already marked the differences on the original, but I have recreated the image's pair for you here. Have fun!

Not forgetting their most beautiful and therefore best and most successful console ever.

That's a great idea for a series.

I've wanted to try and capture the beautiful aesthetic of these units for a while (and get some good in-game footage too - they all work).

Here are a few random pics I already took of the controls for Block Kuzushi, Driving 112 and TV Game 15.

Illustration of Mario & Toad foiling Bowser's theft of various NES games.
Scanned from the January 1990 Swedish Club Nintendo leaflet ("Nintendo Videospelklubb") promoting the 1990 Nintendo Calendar. It's notable for using a Bowser design more like Miyamoto's original 1985 Super Mario Bros box art.

The UK's first review of Super Mario Kart (SNES, 1993) appeared in the October 1992 edition of Nintendo Magazine System.
It includes the following explanation of the controls, which implies that reviewer @jazrignall.bsky.social - like me - finds brakes to be completely optional.😅

Inlay cover for Konami's "Falsion" (Famicom Disk System 1987). It was one of only 7 games that supported Nintendo's "Famicom 3D System" active shutter glasses peripheral.
