Prima Games, a division of Random House, is the largest publishing company of video game strategy guides in the United States of America and Europe. The company is an imprint of the Random House Information Group, based in Roseville, California. Prima are renown for creating Official Strategy Guides for video games, including the Super Smash Bros. series.
Prima Games are responsible for the creation of the Official Strategy Guide for Super Smash Bros., Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Brawl. These books go into detail of strategies, character biographies, stage information and other miscellaneous pieces of Smash Bros.-related information, but are also fairly infamous for featuring mistakes. These include a false claim that Ike's Quick Draw can be canceled. Prima Games' Super Smash Bros. Brawl Official Strategy Guide is also mocked for stating that Meta Knight as a playable character, the character reigning at the top of the tier list in Brawl is on par with Ganondorf, the character at the bottom of said tier list.
