Meh, just like Massi said, looks like only a small bit of new stuff. A proper Neo Anthology would have everything in it and probably be at least 500 pages. For the amount they are asking for, I'll pass. The HNG64 part I'm guessing has the same shit we already posted.

As a fan of physical print books (openly bias as a mag Editor) the design is functional and stylish enough but I need to read some more samples of the composition quality before backing (or even considering it).

They say they will distribute from the US but will still charge 50 pounds to ship to Canada. I wasn't sold on this even before I saw this shipping. This is too rich for me. But I still.hope they do a good job on it.

I'm not impressed... seems like a compilation of info already out on the net with very little new stuff. No license from SNK either, so I don't see how this will be a "work of reference".

Hope it works out anyway, it's cool things like this (will) exist, but it's not for me.

Looks decent enough. Like others have said, not sure there is enough new information here to warrant a purchase.

I'm considering backing. I don't care if there is no new info. I don't expect to get news from a paper book. It's reference material. Nice to have it on the coffee table next to the cabinet for anyone to peruse.

You didn't happen to also back that live action Fatal Fury film project did you?

This book looks incredible. I'm a bit careful with Kickstarter but I'll most definitely back it before it ends.

Probably would have backed it (I have a few similar books from Bitmap Books which are excellent), but 50 pounds shipping is WAY more than I'm willing to spend. I can get similar sized hardback books from bookdepository with free shipping for less than that. Oh well.

I backed it with the N64 book in addition. The print looks like great quality, so I am looking forward to seeing the product in person.

A bit pricey for what it is. Perhaps if I had some money to burn I would support, but I don't. Still, it seems they're about to reach their goal so they should be fine.

I backed it, even though it is quite expensive. I liked their N64 book. It won't contain new info, but at least it's great to have the info printed in a nice book with lots of pics.

I don't think 45 euros for 400+ page book is that expensive. Backed the Pro Gear Edition for 60 euros + 15 euros shipping.

Hey Rot, are you referring to Shito's "Neo Geo Collector's Bible" that he posted a couple years back or is there another book that he wrote? I'm always interested in neo history data and wasn't sure if he wrote a 2nd book I wasn't aware of. Thanks.
