Some of you may already know the the Nintendo of America website--in its repair shop section--sells a small trove of game manuals for $2 or less. The site does warn that a "copy" of a manual that is no longer in stock may be sent. But when I saw Conker's on the n64 manual list, I figured might as well roll the dice. Ordered it up with Super Metroid (another manual i will not pay eBay prices for); with shipping the total was a whopping $6. Regret to report that the Big N sent two sided color laser copies of imperfect scans. Each 8x11 sheet has two manual pages, which are not in book order, so I cannot convert it into a booklet (that would otherwise fit in my UGC cases). Interesting to note, the cover letter I received from N warns that the reproduction of the manual is prohibited. US copyright law protects even NES manuals for far into the future, but with all the scanned manual sites, I figured that N didn't care. Guess they do a little. In any event, figure i'm getting my $6 worth now hopefully by sharing with you all. Edited by bluedogrulez, May 26 2012, 07:42 PM.

They dont care about fair use but as soon as money is involved (as in selling copies!), they care a lot. |

I'm not quite sure I understood your description. Could you add some photos? I just bought a few manuals directly from Nintendo just like you and now I'm a bit worried that I'll receive a colored paper rather than a booklet. |

They charge for that but they do warn that they will likely be copies. Terrible to ask for money for those
