Prima Games

Prima Games is a publisher of video game strategy guides founded in 1990 and based in California. The company is a division of Random House.

The company published several officially licensed guidebooks for Mario games, which often competed with concurrent Nintendo Power guides. Following Nintendo Power's sale by Nintendo of America and acquisition by Future USA, Prima entered a partnership with Nintendo in 2007, making it the sole official provider of strategy guides for Nintendo-developed titles.

Early in its life, the publisher released several unofficial guides (often suffixed with "Unauthorized Game Secrets" in the title) to games it did not have an official license for. Such guides were made for Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, Diddy Kong Racing and "Super Mario Kart 64", among others.
