NGF Posterity Archives

[Dion]

Not an NGF question and answer thread.

Just a thread to view and discuss the various neogeo history, collectibles, and rarities. Not just a cartridge or cd photo thread, but more for the obscure items that some people may have never seen before.
We'll also add some NGF History photos as well.


We'll be adding lots of new photos of various arts and superfreak items.


Arts/Video shelf:

<<Folder and folders of original neogeo arts:
original hand sketches/drawings, full color drawings, digital arts, every neo promo flyers, Every MVS arcade sheets/marquis(english and japanese), snk contracts and order receipts, magazine and advertisement proofs, and much more.>>


NGF Posterity Archives
As part of providing more information for the neogeo posterity, NGF will start taking and uploading more photos and even video footage of some of the rare arts, original hand drawings and sketches (used in magazines, mooks, flyers, inserts, manuals, and neogeo freak issues). Also photos of game proofs, negatives, positives, and various one of a kind collectors items.

Video
Check this video of one of the folders filled with company profile brochures, hand drawn sketches, hand drawn arts, and digital proofs. Some beautiful hand drawn Ninja Master's and Breakers arts, and even the original digital proof for Chotetsu Brikinger/Ironclad!!

I'd love to see some artwork or anything related to the Last Blade games please.

Do you have any concept sketches from the Mark of the Wolves sequel?

I think we do have some character sketches for Last Blade. As for MotW2, we have nothing. All we ever saw of that game was some video at one of the game shows in tokyo.

I'll try to take/upload some photos of Last Blade arts soon.

Nice to see those items. I've seen that pic of the folders many times now, so it was good to see inside one! ;-)

Do you have any Neo Geo service manuals / schematics?

We have TONS of stuff. I'm sure we have various service manuals.


Here are some random photos from inside one of our other neo folders.

Hyper Samurai Shodown 64 - Original arts and sketches

Great stuff, ever care to sell it let me know.

Great stuff, ever care to sell it let me know.

Actually, some have been sold.
We sold one of the Ninja Master's original art sketches for $3000, one for $1700 (seen in the video). Some other arts range in price according to each individual piece. Some could go for a hew hundred dollars to well over a few thousand dollars each.

For example, I've been offered $6000 for one of my Shock Troopers original hand drawn colored character art, and I refused.
First of all, I wouldn't want to break up the set. Secondly, $6000 is much too low for such a truly original and one of a kind piece or art.
(some video games sell for $5000-$20,000 and have multiple copies)

I would consider selling my Shock Troopers art as a set for $25,000.00 if the collector was serious and had all the funds.

My Shock Troopers:2nd Squad original hand drawn character art/framed
(used in magazines, insert, manual, flyers, and leaflets)
(matted/acid free archival mounting/framed with UV filtered glass)



I'm always open to offers from interested collectors.
For a serious collector, I would possibly consider a payment arrangement (not exceeding 6 months)

Possibly. But I have them in my folders as part of the Hyper SS64 series.

Can you help out to make sure we have them properly listed? Maybe provide some photos from magazines/mooks. Thanks.

with regards

[neogeocdworld]

hello

Sorry i know limited word in english...
ok i begin to scan it

[neogeocdworld]

[Dion]

Wow!!
Thank you for showing me where the arts were used. I'm so happy to see this!!
I love the final version of the character with the ball & chain. Very nice to be able to see the finished arts and see the sketches in the mooks. Does the mook show more sketches because I think I may have every single sketch for that issue. This is amazing and I appreciate your help.

J'ai peut-être tous les art pour ce magazine. C'est incroyable!


ASSEMbler community
THIS is how a community is supposed to work. People coming together and helping out, and that will benefit everyone!! I'm even learning new things about the neogeo thanks to this site and forum. People on ASSEMbler have been so mature, nice, and very helpful. I'm still baffled at how professional everyone is/has been.

[neogeocdworld]

Wow absolutely love the sketch's thanks for sharing. Always been a fan of SNK and their art style, especially in the AoF, FF, KOF and Last blade games.

Dion if you can remember anything from the video of the Mark of the Wolves sequel I'd love to hear it. Defiantly my favourite SNK fighter (well its actually tied with KoF 98 for first) and I would love to hear anything you might know about the cancelled sequel.

[Dion]

Mitch, I've never seen that NGW card. Thanks for sharing.

Do you have more photos to share?

Do any of the other members have interesting items?

SNK rumored a motorcycle racing game called "LAST RUN."

They did a special motorcycle and other promo material, but the game never materialized.
