I need the VOL 1 of all about SNK. I have VOL 2, but I need VOL 1. I recommend that everyone who is interest in SNK artwork, you should check this out. It has a lot of info all the neo geo games. It has pics of tv ads for neo geo games, the mvs move stickers, release dates, and so much more. Please email me if you have VOL 1. Thanks. :)

Hate to tell you this, but volume 1 is Capcom. There's a whole series of books dedicated to "All About <insert name of game company here>", and SNK just so happens to be volume 2. Furthermore, this is the only volume on SNK in the series. So There.

Of course, it's "All About SNK Taisen Kakutou Game" which means, Fighting Games.

There were 2 artbooks that came out in late 2000/early 2001 I think, which had artwork from King of Fighters '99, FF Wild Ambition, Buriki One etc., games of that era, but I didn't feel like ordering them at the time, and completely forget what they were called now. If someone else knows, you may try them for some later SNK art.

By the way, has anyone even seen Volume 3? I have never seen any but the first two. Not that I am implying the series actually goes so far as 3, as I do not know.

Anybody feel like snapping a few shots of the interior of this book particularly the MOVE STICKERS area and some of the artwork
I know this book is written in Japanese but is it comprehensive?? Meaning does it cover each game pretty well or do they skim over each title??
Thankyou-BB

The artbook you're thinking of is called "Perfection- SNK Characters: All About Illustrations". Animebooks.com has both volumes of the series.

As far as I know, volume 3 of the "All About..." series is either Vampire Savior or Street Fighter III.

Big Bear, the "All About SNK" book briefly covers each game, but it has ending pics (as well as pictures of hidden secrets, among other things). The only games the book doesn't cover are the World Heroes series, Breakers, Galaxy Fight, Karnov's Revenge, Waku Waku 7, Ninja Master's, and Fight Fever. There might be a few other fighting games I'm not thinking of, but the book does focus on the more popular and mainstream fighting games.

Yeah, The All About books are great. One of my favorite sections is all of the character select screens through the years, and the mini marquee scans.
