The SNES Omnibus: The Super Nintendo and Its Games, Vol. 1 (A-M) author discusses his book

A portion of a Game Informer interview with The SNES Omnibus: The Super Nintendo and Its Games, Vol. 1 (A-M) author, Brett Weiss...

GI: There are already a fair amount of books out there that talk about the Super Nintendo. What does your book pore over that these other books don't?

BW: I think there are two things that separate it. These contributions from these other writers are actually write-ups they did themselves and then submitted them to me. There are stories about people bonding with their grandmother playing games, when their parents played it even though they weren't into it, how video games helped some people get through things like a friend or a parent dying. I think the other thing is my write-up for each game where I describe the gameplay and provide critiques. Each game is thoroughly described. I've been writing professionally for 20 years, and I like to think that shows in the quality of the text.
