$125 for a physical copy. Whyyyyyy? Otherwise I'm behind something like this.

Somewhere down the line, I sense legal repercussions.

Did you guys go to the link? It says he's raising money so he can pay Nintendo to cover the copyright fee.

I hope he's planning to pay Mike Tyson too, because that'll be necessary before the project can be legal. And then there's paying the fan artists.

I would honestly love to have the book, but $125 is ridiculous. I would have pledged up to $30 for it if I didn't think it would be smacked down by either Nintendo or Tyson.

-No crude proof-of-concept graph paper drawings by Miyamoto
-No design sketches by Makoto Wada for original, the NES, Super Punch-Out!! arcade and SNES.
-No drawings by the guys that worked on Punch-Out Wii

Even if he covers the copyright fee, I've stated my reasons why I'm not interested. :lol:

People write unofficial biographies and such all the time though, you can go to a bookstore and see them. I think the real issue is getting permission to write about the intellectual property from Nintendo since they're using official artwork.
