SNK unveils spectacular book The King of Fighters: The Ultimate History

The King of Fighters: The Ultimate History is SNK's spectacular new book focused on one of its most iconic and celebrated fighting game sagas. This has been presented by the Osaka company, sharing the contents and release date of a book specially designed for fans of the franchise. In addition, it will have a very special edition called All-Star and will add a series of extras especially indicated for the most demanding fans of The King of Fighters.

All-Star edition with sound case

The King of Fighters: The Ultimate History, a compilation of the most important facts about the creation of SNK's legendary video game series, which became so famous both in arcades and on the Neo-Geo, will be released this summer. "In the first officially licensed and fully endorsed book of its type, that story is revealed in its entirety. With the help of SNK itself, which has granted unprecedented access to its immense archives of illustrations and artwork, as well as the key members of the original development team," say the book's publisher.

“This official history delivers a comprehensive visual and written history of KOF. The book celebrates iconic characters in the KOF roster such as Kyo Kusanagi and Iori Yagami, as well as hearing from the voice actors who brought them to life; it uncovers never-before-seen details about the mysterious origins of KOF; and delves into the sumptuous pixel art and rich story narratives the series is known for. With its wealth of imagery and information, this is the ultimate KOF history.”

In addition, a collector's edition of the book called All-Star will be available for sale with such unique extras as a storage case, five printed game artworks and a postcard with exclusive illustrations by Eisuke Ogura. The case also includes a series of illustrations of various fighters on its exterior that when pressed reproduce the characters' characteristic sounds.
