Anybody know if this thing has movelists?

How about if it includes ADK games like Ninja Masters?

Thanks.

No movelists, and only SNK games.

Thanks.

It's a bummer that movelists seem so hard to find.

I can't beleive that there aren't scans from the MVS kit stickers, mooks and AES manuals floating around somewhere.

I wish there was a few scans of some of the manuals as i love to read the character bios even if only a few lines but not going to fork out for a aes cart just for that to get manual with it and its rare these days for ppl to part with their manuals on the newer carts , i wanted to get the motw mook too as even in japanese it looked pretty cool but with it going for over 100 bucks its way out of my reach

BURIKI-ONE

Primarily, this book is intended to provide an historical overview of each series (and each game in each series), the backstory for each game, a summary of each game's system features, character endings, etc., plus the other sections described by the above-linked auction. A very nice book for the SNK enthusiast, but (aside from the small scans of movelist inlay cards) no movelists -- Studio Bent Stuff (the folks who produced this book) are prolific gameguide publishers in Japan, so you'd need to get their other books in order to get movelists.

If you're interested in having a look thru this book (or the CAPCOM equivalent that Studio Bent Stuff also produced), you should meet up with us at one of our 'Vegas locals get-togethers. I've got an extra copy of each of the SNK and CAPCOM history books in mint condition -- if you decide you want to buy either or both, I'll sell 'em for $30 each (which'll save you a bit of dough versus buying from videogameya (a very reputable seller, btw) on ebay and having to fork over the extra for international shipping).

Yeah, thanks. I would like to check those out. I'm gonna start following that thread again, I think. Maybe I could showcase my new MVS console also.





Cheers,

I got my copy from AnimeNation. (I just might take you up on that offer about the Capcom one, though, if Tsubaki doesn't want it first.)

What a great book. Pity I can't read one single iota of Japanese.

Cheers on the dibbs, but, I'm kind of an avowed SNK chauvinist. Capcom was great then, but, just not my obsession.

I'm not really literate in Nihongo either. Just the kana, really. Technically speaking, for as difficult as it to read Japanese, at least the written language adheres to some kind of phonetic logic, unlike English. But Kanji is for those with superior minds. The Chinese will survive us all without any doubt to quote Monty Python.
