+Charlie Cat Posted May 11, 2022 Author Share Posted May 11, 2022 Hi guys, Bitmap Books@bitmap_books15h We are so grateful to@DailyMirror for reviewing our books! THE KING OF FIGHTERS: The Ultimate History: https://mirror.co.uk/tech/king-fighters-ultimate-history-review-26906616… A Guide to Japanese Role-Playing Games: https://mirror.co.uk/tech/guide-japanese-role-playing-games-26905898… Available to pre-order now, shipping 23rd May: https://bitmapbooks.com #bitmapbooks The King Of Fighters: The Ultimate History review: A stunning visual celebration that's a must have for fans and gaming enthusiasts Bitmap Books have teamed up with SNK to brings fans an amazing visual history for The King Of Fighters series THE KING OF FIGHTERS: THE ULTIMATE HISTORY By Eugene SowahAssistant 9 May 2022 https://www.mirror.co.uk/tech/king-fighters-ultimate-history-review-26906616 Bitmap Books have an amazing talent for creating brilliant visual homages for some of the most loved retro titles in video game history. This time around they have set their sights on creating a visual celebration for the legendary series The King Of Fighters. SNK’s The King Of Fighters is a long-running fighting games series that began in 1994 on the Neo Geo MVS arcade hardware. The game was sort of SNK’s first crossover fighter as it featured characters from other games such as Art of Fighting and Fatal Fury. It became SNK’s main fighting games series in the year 2000 after the release of the final Fatal Fury game, Garou: Mark of the Wolves. Since then The King of Fighter series has gone from strength to strength racking up a total of fifteen main entry games, several spin-off titles and even crossovers with other fighting game heavyweights such as Street Fighter. It’s safe to say that The King Of Fighters has cemented itself as one of the best fighting games series with its ever-growing legacy. This is why Bitmap Books were met with such adulation when they announced they would be collating this illustrious history into one of their amazing books. The King Of Fighters: The Ultimate History looks to be the biggest visual celebration of the series' legacy, which comes in two editions, the Standard and All Star. We were lucky enough to take a look at the Standard Edition book before preorders go live on 9th May. Those who are able to pick up one of the All Star Editions will be treated to an amazing electronic slipcase that includes a series of touch panels on its fascia, which when pressed, play in-game sound effects. The book picture focus featuring character sketches, pixel art and more ( Image: Bitmap Books) Fans will also receive a set of A4 prints featuring artwork from various KOF games and a postcard illustrated by Eisuke Ogura. To top it all off the prints come in a white invitation envelope, complete with an imitation seal from The King Of Fighters 94. The book is huge measuring 210mm × 297mm and features an astonishing 544 pages. It is protected in a strong hardback cover featuring a splendid illustrated image of Kyo Kusanagi. The King Of Fighters: The Ultimate History starts off with a brief introduction to the book and the King of Fighters series by SNK's lead producer Yasuyuki Oda. The book starts by giving a history breakdown of the series journey from its inception to where it is now, there are so many interesting facts, but I loved the fact the book included an early character skill setting sheet. This is accompanied by interviews and great quotes from the likes of Takashi Nishiyama, Masaaki Kukino, Masanori Kuwasashi, Toyohisa Tanabe and more. The opening chapters of the book are fantastic as it breaks down the history detailing the series formative years until now. Bitmap Books have really gone all out including early storyboards, character ideas, sketches and more. The book has something for everyone, pleasing fans and gaming enthusiast alike ( Image: Bitmap Books) There are more intimate one on one interviews conducted by Bitmap books towards the end of the book which are a fascinating read that will give fans of the series a real insight into how the game came to be and the challenges the directors faced. The interviews are decorated with dazzling images of characters, levels and gaming art which acts as a visual commentary for the interviews. The King of Fighters XV review: A triumphant return that shatters all expectations The main feature of the book is the images and Bitmap Books has really gone above and beyond here with an abundance of art from each of the games showcasing graphical changes throughout the years. I especially love the character art section as it didn’t just include the artwork itself but lots of information I didn’t know about each character. There is a pleasant mix of character conception sketches, pixel character models and promotional art. Bitmap Books have done a great job at dividing each section into the different game titles, this makes it so much easier to understand and read about your fave game. The All Star Edition comes with an interactive slipcase ( Image: Bitmap Books) Fans will be really impressed with the quality of the images, especially the older pixel art which really leaps off the pages. The colour scheme of black, white and turquoise worked well with the colours really complementing each other without being overbearing. As the book is picture focused I found that the sizing and the positioning of the captions were adequate as they gave all the images breathing room while still being easy to read at the same time.

XD I'm thinking about picking the Hyperkin HDMI adaptor for NeoGeo (CD), is it any good?. I see that it doesn't has stereo sound which is a pity (I know the AES RGB only output in mono, but would has been great a workaround using the headphone or the RCA (CD) output), but for the comments i have read, i'm not sure what to make of it... Oh Mai, Check out that awesome artwork and a cool adapter for the Neo Geo! I may have to check this out. I still have the the standard RCA connector for my Neo Geo AES.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Hyperkin is horrible garbage, and I'll tell you exactly why. The Neo Geo runs at 320x240 in progressive scan. These cables typically and incorrectly treat the progressive signal as interlaced, which it isn't. Once your display gets this incorrect interlaced signal, it will probably try to deinterlace it, which causes lag and also makes the picture look super terrible. This also leads to another problem: does your display even support interlaced video at all? If not, you'll likely not even get a picture at all. The quality of the video output on these is also pretty low, and they do not look very good. You'll see similar cables from Pound, LevelHike, and a few others... well, I say similar, but they are all the same thing but with a different name, as they are mass-produced and then sold to these companies to put their own names on them. Now what you should do instead is to get either the HD Retrovision Genesis 2/Mega Drive 2 cable with the Neo Geo AES/CD adaptor or some other type of RGB cable and then run that into something like the OSSC or RetroTINK and then connect that to the display. This will also let you get stereo out of the AES using the front headphone jack, as the Genesis 2/MD2 cable has a 3.5mm audio input for exactly that purpose. It'll cost more since you're buying more stuff that costs more to begin with, but you are paying for the best equipment on the market and you won't believe how good it looks.
