But if you&#8217;re on a budget, the $100 asking price for it isn&#8217;t strictly necessary. I actually just picked up the Japanese version very recently at Kinokuniya here in San Francisco. It&#8217;s also available from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Rockman-Official-Complete-Works-Anniversary\/dp\/4862333826\">Amazon<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cdjapan.co.jp\/detailview.html?KEY=NEOBK-1374425\">CDJapan<\/a>. If you can&#8217;t wait to get your hands on it, I say go for it! While you may not get the\u00a0<em>full<\/em> benefit if you can&#8217;t read Japanese (there are captions, and about 17 pages of interviews), the fact is, it&#8217;s an\u00a0<em>art<\/em> book. It&#8217;s got thousands of\u00a0<em>pictures<\/em>. And some mighty fine ones at that.<\/p>\n<p><center><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Rockman_3_Art_01\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sprixelsoft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Rockman_3_Art_01-300x216.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"216\" \/><br \/>\nOld game art makes me drool<\/center>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Of course, if you&#8217;re not in a rush, and still looking for a slightly less exclusive item than the Comicon version&#8230;\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/MM25-Mega-Official-Complete-Works\/dp\/1926778863\/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1373491523&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=mega+man+art+book\">you could always pre-order the soft cover English edition.<\/a>\u00a0By the way, their advertising that states &#8220;over 430 pages&#8221;?
