Yet again, Hiroaki's artwork hits the spot. I can't believe they haven't got this fellow doing the official artwork for KOF games
! His artwork is just that good and the fact that SNKPlaymroe use him as an artist in the shadows disappoints somewhat but I guess it's them at the end of the day that have the power
Regardless, hoorah for Hiroaki

So...does anyone know if any import shops will be carrying this?
Very nice looking artwork. There could be several reasons though why he is not making the official artwork for KOF, I don't think Playmore could have missed to see his talent. Maybe he simply spends too long time drawing a picture or something like that..

Here's what I posted in gozu+mezu's earlier thread on this topic:zorro said:
> The set will contain 9 CDs and 1 DVD.
> The 9 CDs will contain the original soundtracks (sorry, no arranged tracks) from the first 9 KOF games (KOF'94 thru KOF'02) -- no word yet on whether voice & sound effects tracks will be included.
> The DVD will contain the demo movies from each of these games -- no clarification yet on whether this means opening title animation sequences only, or if this might include in-game demo sequences (such as boss entrance demos) and/or endings.
> The "sleeve case" (i.e., box) that the 10 discs will be packed in will feature artwork by Hiroaki.
> First pressings will include a specially designed boxed adhesive bandage (being referred to as a BANG!-AID).

Hey, BB -- if you don't mind my asking, what's CDJapan's total (estimated) charge for this one? If my calculations are correct, it looks like they'd be asking $172.38 - $176.30 [$138.05 for the boxed set + ($26.12 - $29.85 for EMS shipping) + ($8.21 - $8.40 for their 5% "handling" charge)].Big Bruno said:

Chris,
That sounds about right. It may be a little more since they base thier shipping on 1 cd so when you order a box it is a little bit more. I have the statement in my mailbox at home. I thought about getting it from you guys but I did not know if you were going to be getting some of these. I know last time you got stuck with a few SNK DVD sets.
BTW you making it to Akon this year. Do not forgot my Con is coming up in OCt as well. you can fly fairly cheap on contiental and the hotel is on airport property

Yeah, the problem with the SNK DVD sets was that Famitsuu Video didn't give them full distribution thru normal retail outlets (like Hoteiya Las Vegas' supplier, Hoteiya). Instead they were primarily available only thru a couple of Japanese websites (famitsuu, enterbrain, sonyplaystation, etc).Big Bruno said:
The KOF CD box, however, is going thru normal retail distribution, so Hoteiya Las Vegas is taking orders for this one. Currently, the yen:dollar rate has our shop pricing this box at $163.58 -- but if the dollar can crest the $1 = 110 yen mark in March (let's hear it for Japan's "heightened level of terror alert"), we'll be able to offer this item for $155.40. USPS shipping (w/insurance + delivery confirmation) from Las Vegas to anywhere in the country should be about $15.00 for this box set.
Yep, we do plan to attend A-kon this year. I still don't know if I'll be able to make it to Oni-Con (whether as a vendor or attendee), as my vacation time here at the Courthouse is stretched pretty thin this year just trying to get the time off to get Hoteiya Las Vegas' booth to some of our "must-do" conventions (Expo, A-kon, Otakon, etc). I'll have to see how things shape up later in the year.Big Bruno said:BTW you making it to Akon this year.

No...you mean you adjust your price as the Yen Conversion changes for Japanese items. That's unheard off
Actually I see it is at $1=109.69 yen now (still going up). But I realize as the terror alert drops so will the coversion rate
