It's being solicited thru Diamond for October '04. The new Previews catalog hit retailers today.

 

[anotheriori]

SWEET!!!
Now I'll have both the japanese and english versions!

 

[Grimlock]

Awesome beyond belief. I'll have to hunt this down, too.

 

[GDGF]

I thought this was gonna be about some new kinda street fighter noodles.

 

[Nerevar]

I hate the Japanese art-style.

That being said, that is one of the most impressively drawn things I have ever seen.

 

[evil ways]

That realistic style looks like crap. It reminds me of some of the shitty SNK artwork where everybody is grinning with big teeth and fish eyes.

 

[jooey]

[NotMSRP]

The Eternal Challenge of digestion.

 

[Sai]

... Mine... mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, Mine, Mine, Mine, MINE, MINE, MINE, MINE MINE, MINE, MINE! O_O

Will it be released alongside SF:AC? Fall '04 is going to be so great...

 

[lordmrw]

That will be mine on day one of release, oh yes. And chalk me up as another one who doesn't particularly like Shinkirou's style. I can appreciate it for what it is, but thats about it.

 

[Ferrio]

I love Shinkirou.

Her Blue Mary 1999 is still one of my favorites

 

[truesayian]

I cant wait for this game... it will rock.

 

[Shogmaster]

I cant wait for this game... it will rock.

......................

Words fail me.

 

[Wario64]

Maybe he meant the Annivesary Ediiton..shrug

 

[aoi tsuki]

Who's the artist that's done SNK fighters for so many years? i'm ashamed to say, i've never known, but i love the work.

Shinkirou

 

[jarrod]

I...... need this. :l

 

[neo2046]

I have bought the book , and .........


if you are hardcore SF fans like me
you will be a little bit disappointed
lots of artworks are not included in the book
and each SF titles is only written briefly
etc..

well, if you never own any SF book before
and not expect it is a book that is a conclusion of 15 years of SF history
you will be happy

 

[aoi tsuki]

Thank's Ferrio. A small part of me feels complete.

Erik Ko posted this on the SRK.com forums a few weeks ago:

SF EC US Edition is slightly delayed. The reason being we wanted to put some original contents to it then just doing a direct translation. We want this to be a good companion, as well as a better value than the Japanese original.

Added stuff includes a brand new interview with SHOEI & Kinu-sensei made at San Diego Comic Con, an updated SF merchandise section, etc. We are also gathering the US logos and packaging art in addition to the Japanese logos and packaging seen.

The book should have a cover price of $34.99, with approx 300 pages thick.

It is now schedule to ship late November to early December.

Thanks for your patience!!!
