About the author
Nintendo
437 books179 followersNintendo Co., Ltd. is a Japanese multinational consumer electronics and video game company headquartered in Kyoto, Japan. Nintendo is one of the world's largest video game companies by market capitalization. Founded on 23 September 1889 by Fusajiro Yamauchi, it originally produced handmade hanafuda playing cards. By 1963, the company had tried several small niche businesses, such as cab services and love hotels. The word Nintendo can be roughly translated from Japanese to English as "leave luck to heaven".
Abandoning previous ventures in favor of toys in the 1960s, Nintendo then developed into a video game company in the 1970s, ultimately becoming one of the most influential in the industry and Japan's third-most-valuable company with a market value of over $85 billion. From 1992 until 2016, Nintendo was also the majority shareholder of Major League Baseball's Seattle Mariners.
As of 31 March 2014, Nintendo has cumulative sales of over 670.43 million hardware units and 4.23 billion software units. The company has created and released some of the best-known and top-selling video game franchises, such as Mario, The Legend of Zelda, and Pokémon.

18 years since it's release the story has been finally published into an actual book. This could have been a cheep gimmick but unlike most there's something here.
Cover
A first impression it's different. No title, author, anything apart from a removeable banner cover actually having the title Rosalina's Storybook. This is where Mario fans are going to love this. The cover designed is pulled right from the game. This is THE BOOK Rosalina was reading. (Even barcode sticker to make it look more authentic.
Interior
Story
Word for word, it's ripped right out of the game. It's Rosalina's backstory from Super Mario Galaxy and it expands on Mario lore. The story is broken into individual, independent chapters. They have their own charm and is actually heartbreaking and touching story. It's absolutely adorable.
Something to contemplate. You feed them so many star bits they explode into galaxies, planets, comet, ect. but in the book it just happens.
Something strange that was left out though is that they removed the Epilogue and it's pages. Granted it's just talking about Her finishing the book then playing the guitar for the Luma's to fall asleep. (Rosalina can a guitar, why does that feel like the weirdest detail of what she can do.)
Illustrations
Absolutely charming. Arguably it's even better in book form and if you played the game you've seen the art already. Nothing more to say I love the art.
After Thoughts.
Now I want more. Give me Paper Mario, Super Mario Galaxy 2, Yoshi Story. I want more books like this. It's not often Nintendo makes actual storybooks.

My husband received this gorgeous hardback today and suggested I read it. Of course I jumped at the chance. By the way, this is the storybook featured in Super Mario Galaxy.
The day a young girl finds a rusted spaceship with a star child inside, the girl and Luma go on a journey to find Luma's mother and instead discover a whole lot more...
This is such a beautiful picture book that tells the heartwarming, and oftentimes, sad story of how Rosalina befriends a lonely Luma and eventually becomes a mother to a whole family of Lumas. It's an adventurous tale, one with a lot of heart, and a found family that enhances how strong, smart, and kind Rosalina really is.
I love the bright artwork, and even the size of the book is lovely. It's a quality product, and a must for all Nintendo collectors.
Also, it's always cool when another form of media is released to double the enjoyment of the original game, movie, or show.
