Strategy Guide	comment	Strategy Guides are different than Walkthroughs in that they provide a portable, professional, and easily accessible hard copy while playing. However, they are more likely to avoid giving outright spoilers and munchkin-like hints, preferring to suggest ideas rather than spoiling the playing aspect. Aside from average gaming information, they also usually contain: Several splash pages highlighting the party members. Maps across areas and dungeons, with associated locations of items. Stats and strategies of bosses. A back index of items, customizable stuff, and a bestiary of enemies. Some bonus content, such a wall map or poster. Strategy guides are typically based on the pre-release version of a game, which often leads to blunders. In one infamous example, an official strategy guide for the Dreamcast version of Half-Life was released, but the game was subsequently cancelled. Maps in the official strategy guide for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas contained Rampage icons that don't exist in the final version. Because they are generally released alongside the game and can not be updated, they almost never contain any gameplay tips, tricks, or glitches that are discovered by players post-release. However, over the years, many strategy guide publishers have provided free updates and corrections on their websites. Unfortunately for a small number of video games, when some strategy guides are made to go with games, they aren't released outside of Japan, meaning that for some games, you have to use other means to get through difficult sections of games, unless you buy the Japanese strategy guides and can understand the Japanese language. A few of the more notable strategy guide publishers were Prima Games, BradyGames and Nintendo Power, none of which are around anymore, as BradyGames merged with Prima Games in 2015 and ever since then, all strategy guides had been made and published by Prima until it announced it'll stop making guides in early 2019. As for Nintendo Power, their guides ceased production in 2007 and no guides from then have since been released. Considering that Nintendo Power itself ended in 2012, it's unlikely that we'll see any more from them. In the end, strategy guides fell into disuse with the advent of the Internet. Online forums, text guides and walkthroughs from websites such as GameFAQs, video guides covering all kinds of content from secrets to strategies, and community wikis combining the knowledge of hundreds of players, left the idea of actually needing a physical strategy guide redundant. Due to the idea of competition with free walkthroughs, official strategy guides became a much more prominent product than it was in the past, usually containing nice art or extras to justify their price, which is usually around $15-$20 USD, although in certain cases, some can end up at more than $40. Many companies will sell it along with the associated game at a lowered price. Some appropriately complicated games will have thicker guides on newsprint paper with only black ink to offset costs. It is quite unfortunate to note that some games, intentionally or unintentionally, require a guide to complete. See Hint System for the in-game version.

This was pre-Internet (or at least pre-GameFAQs) so that information was largely unavailable otherwise.

But most importantly the guides had all the bromides found in the game in the back in convenient sticker form. The second guide even came in hardcover and had little comics in the back. The strategy guides for the original Sega CD releases (and probably the modern versions too) were co-written by Zach Meston, head writer of the games.

Strategy Guide / int_49eee326	comment	The Nintendo Power strategy guide for the original NES Final Fantasy contained a number of gaffs, including suggesting strategies not implemented in the final game (the Giant Sword wasn't more effective against giants, for instance), and labeling the contents of every chest without noting that some were "linked" and contained the same item that could only be gotten once. The swords were intended to work as explained in the guide, bad programming prevented this. On the other hand, the guide did specifically point out the area where you encounter a group of giants every step, something which is often thought to have been a programming mistake. Similarly, the official guide for the Final Fantasy Anthology rerelease of Final Fantasy V was next to useless because it seemed written by and for Munchkins. The "strategy" for most bosses was along the lines of "Have everyone master the Ninja class, then change them to Dragoons, give everyone two of the most powerful spear in the game, and jump," rather than practical advice.

The Solid franchise titles had several titles released by Brady Games and Prima Games in North America (up until Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater), but Piggyback Interactive has retained the exclusive international rights, and subsequently produced their own series of guides for all 5 games (and Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance). Starting from Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (and in an effort to counter online free guides), Piggyback has produced both "standard" and "collector's" versions of the guide, with the latter versions each featuring an exclusive lithograph by series artist Yoji Shinkawa, hardcover binding and additional art galleries/production information.

Strategy Guide / int_6c1d09b1	comment	As mentioned above, some Strategy Guides avoid the pure-spoiler effect by suggesting courses of action. One of the best was for Fallout: Each page that had a 'spoiler' or other solution to an obstacle/puzzle/objective would lead you to the conclusion by providing a series of questions prompting you for a part of the puzzle. As you read down the page, the answers got more and more specific until finally all was revealed. This was muchly appreciated because sometimes one DOES just want a little hint to help them out.

Strategy Guide / int_7b2ca7a2	comment	A relatively new player on the strategy guide scene is FuturePress, a company based in Germany that does guides for the European market. The company releases guides fairly infrequently compared to some of their competitors, but when they do a guide they really go all out, with some of the highest quality guides in the industry. Of particular note is their strategy guide for Bayonetta, a 400-page hardcover tome with detailed strategies for getting to 100% Completion in addition to a regular walkthrough. The guide also contains details on every single enemy in the game and every one of Bayonetta's weapons and attacks. The gorgeous guide has received stellar reviews from pretty much everyone who's read it, which... is not very many people since the only version of the guide is the hardcover Collector's Edition with a limited print run. In addition, the guide is a case of No Export for You for Americans and Canadians, since Brady Games (which later decided not to release a Bayonetta guide at all) held exclusivity rights over the North American strategy guide market. Combine all of those factors and you now have a guide which is selling for upwards of $250!!! on Amazon (and people are indeed buying it for that price, though you can also find unwrapped copies on Ebay for slightly less if you're lucky). The success and rave reviews for the Bayonetta guide convinced FuturePress to begin selling guides to the North American market, and their Vanquish, Killzone 3, and Portal 2 guides have all been released in North America to rave reviews.

Strategy Guide / int_86814cd2	comment	The strategy guide made for Final Fantasy IX is a strange and unique case where 90% of its content was referred to Square's PlayOnline service where the actual strategies and hints were listed. The physical guide itself did very little to help and if you didn't have a good internet connection (not uncommon due to the game coming out in the late 90s where dial-up was still the norm), the book was nothing more than a glorified paperweight. Having the guide refer to Square's site was due to Executive Meddling from Square.

Strategy Guide / int_86814e94	comment	Final Fantasy XI had a BradyGames strategy guide that became notorious for two reasons: It started becoming out-of-date due to the constantly changing structure on an MMORPG, and some of the job advice presented was laughably bad. Yes, a Monk/Red Mage could use a sort of Flaming Fist with Enspells, but in an experience points party against monsters several levels higher than you, a half-level Enhancing Skill will cause hits to land for 0 extra damage instead of actual additional damage. Brady probably realized the futility of the whole deal with this guide, and hasn't released an updated version since, although the release of World of Warcraft may be more responsible for it.

Admittedly, they left very little to the imagination and basically told you how to do everything, but they did it very effectively (and usually with a good sense of humor). They had a tendency to list everything you could get at parts of the game and tell you how to get them, like extra powerups and such. Their Metroid Prime guide was even completely streamlined, having you collect the Chozo Artifacts before you even needed to (or even scan their locations). They usually had a checklist in the back of the guide as well. Their Ocarina of Time guide even had custom illustrated maps. Sadly, they appear to have gone out of business. Their guide for PokÃ©mon Red and Blue had a glitch section, where they explained several of the game's infamous glitches, from harmless ones like fishing in statues to game breaking ones like Missing No. They also released a guide for PokÃ©mon Gold and Silver, and both guides were notable for suggesting specific Pokemon and moves for various situations, such as beating Gym Leaders and the Elite Four.
