According to 4Gamer.net, "Street Fighter x Tekken Artworks" will feature 192 pages including the illustrations and roughs by Polygon Pictures (the comany behind the artworks and movies), as well as the model/settings sheet used during development.
The book features a cover done by Akiman and also a B3 size reversible poster with illustrations by Kinu Nishimura and Shinkiro(in progress). The book also features an interview with Akiman and NamcoBandai art director Mizushima and Kimura.

While Capcom vs SNK 3 seems to be one of the top titles requested to Capcom's Yoshinori Ono by fighting game fans, making it may not be as easy as as the yesteryears. In an interview with Complex.com, a more serious than usual Ono talks about the subject, citing that their relationship with SNK has changed since they've become a different company.
"It's a different company now than it was then. We had a lot of connections back then, we were really friendly with one another. But frankly, I don't know a lot of people there right now."
Check Complex.com for the full interview and additional comments on what CvS3 could be like if it gets developed. Special thanks to Loona@MMCafeBBS for the news.

Keiji Inafune, the former man behind Capcom's Megaman and Dead Rising series, will cameo as a hostage in a PSP date sim game for girls.
In Idea Factory's Bakudan Handan, the player will enjoy having a romantic time with the game's heros in a theme park, all the while taking on bomb threats caused by terrorists in animal outfits who've also kidnapped Inafune. Inafune cameos as the main character's uncle, and helps out the player by secretly giving advice through mail.
The official site for Bakudan Handan is here. If the art style seems familiar, you've been playing Phoenix Wright; the series' artist Tatsuro Iwamoto is doing these characters.
This is the second time that Inafune has had a cameo in a recent game. He also appeared as an in-game weapon and special attack for CompileHeart's summer JRPG release, Neptune mk-2.
