Super Game Boy
Super Game Boy Player's Guide was a guide book sold with an issue of Nintendo Power around the release of the Super Game Boy. It contained six pages on Metroid II: Return of Samus showing key points in the game, with codes that could be used to enhance the look of the game for those moments. The game itself also appeared on the cover and several other pages.
The guide refers to Metroids as "Space Parasites", the Galactic Federation as the "Intergalactic Federation", the Bomb item as the "Bomb Generator" and Energy Tanks as "Energy Containers" (in one instance). It also says that SR388 is in the "Game Boy star system", and suggests that the Metroid mutations are due to gamma radiation from the planet. In the introduction, the guide states that "It's only a matter of time before some evil mastermind decides to lead the Metroids in a revolt."

About the author
Nintendo
469 books182 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.
