Boss Fight books divided into two camps:
1: Nerd essays
2: Historical research books
Mega man3 falls into category 2.

Ashen's "Terrible Old Games You've Probably Never Heard Of" was a pretty big and surprising disappointment.

Got tons of neat tidbits, including that Fujiwara was against making Mega man 2.

About one third of it are backer names, blank pages and thanks, a lot of the pages only consist of huge images of the games and thick borders made of sprites.
The actual content of each of the articles about the games wouldn't be enough for two minute reviews and most of the times basically consist of "looks shite, sounds makes your ears bleed, controls awful"
This honestly doesn't really work that well if you can't witness the games in motion like on Youtube and shit starts to get repetitive and boring after a while.
The best part was probably the chapter about SQIJ! where he showed the godawful source code and it's crazy background stuff like this that is sorely missing from most of the book.
Seriously, if you except dozens of stories of this caliber youtube.com
then look elsewhere - you won't find them in here.

Reading this right now. It's pretty well-written, though at the same time I'm skeptical about how objective it is as a historical source. It tries so damn hard to make Nintendo the bad guys.
Hopefully Seth Rogen gets off his lazy stoner ass and makes the movie already.
