    I have a lot listed here.

    None that you've mentioned specifically, although I do have a Shenmue Project Berkely book thingy. No sketches though, which is what it sounds like you're looking for.

    dracula x
    There is an issue of Game Side that does a spread on the whole Akumajo series. Not a lot of sketches, but they have a lot of the game covers in full page (well, it's a small book, but still nice) color, w/ no text on them.

    I have the Xenogears artbook. It's got some awesome original drawings in it, and a few technical drawings to boot. Lots of cool story information too.

    There is a good Famicom book I like from the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography exhibit, I recommend that if that counts as "art".

    I guess someone out there agrees with you hence the price.

    as for ghouls'n ghosts, try to buy that PSone book version of capcom generation 2 [makai to kishi]. you will not just get a nice artbook for all three makaimuras but also the game disc with all 3 makaimuras on it.
