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 renowned for creating Official Strategy Guides for video games, including the Super Smash Bros. series.
In 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, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and Super Smash Bros. 4. 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 noticeable mistakes, such as 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, currently reigning at the top of the tier list in Brawl, is on par with Ganondorf, the character at the bottom of said tier list, after they were both rated 6/10.
