Dark horse comics seems to have purchased the rights for the distribution of a lot of these art books in the west recently as most of them have been out in Japan for a while, sometimes years. They are usually pretty good. I have a Japanese nier automata art book and basic guide that is really cool and is getting an English release through dark horse next year.

The Zelda breath of the wild design works is also coming soon and will be pretty cool. Most of the stuff is available online for all these books but it’s kinda nice to look at art this way and they make nice coffee table books

My snes came with a book called “Mario mania” that was made by the Nintendo power people. It was a walk through of SMW combined with Mario development history, art and interview. it is still good as gently caress, I found it at my parents earlier this year and am so grateful it didn’t get lost/trashed

I think they are actually coming out with an amano compilation later this year.

I recently received the breath of the wild master works localization and it’s insanely good. It’s very detailed and the concept art is so interesting, especially for the divine beasts. The interviews and development team commentary are really insightful and after looking through it I decided to play through the game again. Some of the lore history stuff is a little weak but it’s a fairly insignificant portion of the book.

I also was given the eyes of bayonetta as a gift and it’s very enjoyable. Fairly sparse on commentary or anything, but the art is great. Some of the concept pieces are fun because they kinda rethink bayonetta to better fit the theme of the costume.
