Bitmap Books has revealed that it is publishing the English version of Robert Bannert, Thomas Nickel and Martin Nagel's Unofficial GBA Pixel Art book, which was previously published in Germany by Elektrospieler.

"The book, which has been meticulously translated from the German original, features a bounty of articles that delve deep into the GBA’s magnificent game portfolio," says the official description on Bitmap Books' website. "It also brings together almost 4,000 screenshots from the games included, each of which has been specially composed and captured for this book. They are presented across 300 pages along with pixel art cut-outs, sprite work, vast montages, and immense level maps."
