Capcom has signed deals to produce two books based upon their most famous franchises: Street Fighter and Mega Man. From the makers of I am 8-bit, both books will commemorate 20 years in each franchise's history.

Featuring in-depth chronology of both development and cultural response, both books will feature interviews, art and loads and loads of cheat codes. OK, maybe no cheat codes. But the best part has to be the unique packaging— a classic, over-sized Nintendo sleeve (this picture is the production concept...the books won't actually be albinos). Coming in Fall 2008: the past!
