NEOGEO: a visual history

ネオジオ〜目で楽しむ軌跡〜 Home About us Books

Bitmap Books is excited to announce that we will be releasing an officially licensed NEOGEO art book in 2017. We’ve been working closely with SNK CORPORATION (“SNK”) over the last few months to bring you NEOGEO: a visual history. This lavishly illustrated volume will be the first official NEOGEO art book of its kind released in the English language.



A visual celebration of all things NEOGEO, the book is full of concept artwork, game graphics, photography, box art and promotional material straight from the SNK archives.



We’ve been working with renowned collectors Frazer Rhodes, Massimiliano Macri and Brian Hargrove, who between them have pretty much everything released for the NEOGEO, including complete game collections and rare items. These will be professionally photographed and included in the book.



“NEOGEO: a visual history” also features official interviews with key staff integral to the NEOGEO’s history, including producer Yasuyuki Oda, artist Tatsuhiko Kanaoka (Falcoon) and composer Hideki Asanaka (Sha-V).



“NEOGEO: a visual history” comes as an A4 hardback and is available in both standard edition and a limited edition collector’s edition, presented in a metallic gold slipcase.



As with all our products, each book is printed to very high standards and is destined to be a must-have for fans of the NEOGEO or gamers who want to learn more about this groundbreaking console. NEOGEO: a visual history is available for pre-order in May 2017 with a publication date of summer 2017.
