Yeah... I've got it all extracted, along with Namco Museum Switch, Atari Flashback, Street Fighter 30th, Kunio Kun, and others... just haven't posted them yet, due to them still being fairly newish (along with that whole "I ain't got time for a lot of stuff" thing going on right now).
SNK has landscape/portrait artwork for each game, and then the game displays specific pieces of artwork, depending on how you choose to display the artwork on screen (sidebar only, full artwork, etc.). And each artwork is split up into four pieces (left, right, top, bottom). There are also some actual scans of JPN cocktail cabinets in there, which is cool.
Was there an actual JPN release of this, though? I thought it was just one version, which released internationally. There are assets of the JPN flyer, and some JPN concept artwork, but nothing I see that shows actual in-game artwork that is different from the US version.
If you've played the PSP versions of some of these games, it's similar to that, just higher-res than the PSP version. Larger than HD, but not quite 4K.
Here's the portrait version for Ikari, if you want to play with that for now.

RELAX and just have fun. Remember, it's all about the games.
