I think this one is never going to see the light of day in the US. I picked up the Ghosts'n'Goblins one, its pretty damn cool. If you are a naughty boy and have Callus for your PC already then dont bother, otherwise. The other Capcom Generations volumes dont seem all that interesting, theres a 1942/1943 edition, one for Exedes and Vulgus, and another I cant remember right now. I got mine from therage.com. Street Fighter Zero 3 was also a great import buy, not much need for the text there. And R-Type Delta - this game _rocks_. Both those last two are headed for the US though, so if you have an aversion to seeing kanji/katakana/hiragana crawl across your screen, stick your hands in your pockets and wait a few more months.
