Lol, they even have the USA sports team on the page... that's a classic. It's good to hear they're making an effort... but I think the majority of USA arcades have given up on NeoGeo... and alot have given up 2 fighters all together. It's all dancing, shooting, and racing games that cost a buck a play these days...

Good, good... I don't expect them to last very long at all, though. I wonder how this will effect Sean's distribution?

Very cool, yo.

I just want them to distribute SNK stuff widely across the US. It's time to capitalize on some stuff y'know. Even if they only did translations for US ports of SNK games, that's good enough for me. Maybe they'll hook us up with some of the old SNK games that we missed? You never know.

i hope snk will succeed

but if they are still relying on just kof and a few other fighters

and they still are usin the mvs board

then you can forget about them makin a comeback

gameplay is good, but nowadays graphics matter too

Yes, graphics matter -- but I still think you don't need to worry about the US mainstream rejecting low-res graphics. Playmore has stated its intention to eventually move on to other hardware (I think the "Neo Geo" deal as part of the name is just to distinguish itself from the previous SNK); and given the incredible graphical animations that SNK and Evoga have been able to pull off on the Neo Geo (as well as Yumekobo with Blazing Star -- my arcade had it for a while ^_^), I can't wait to see what they pull off on the NAOMI, System 246, or Triforce (whichever board they choose).

That, and if Playmore actually has some business sense, they'll come up with other franchises, or perhaps revive some old ones too. ^_^ (They've at least got the Cool Cool franchise for music games...) Either way, don't be so quick to dismiss SNKNeoGeo USA as an immediate failure.

You know, with this recent development we can see more ports of future SNK games like KOF 2K2 and such, and the whole emulation debate can finally be put to rest.

After everything that SNK's been through, I'm just glad they're still around after all these years. Keep the faith alive, people...

Actually graphis ALWAYS were important. Neo Geo was impressive technically time ago when the console was considered as the best one you could buy.

well guilty gear is nice but it's no prize graphics wise compared to SFIII yet people love it. and only SNK game I can think of that gets away with shitty pixles (though i still like it) is KOF. most games they put out look pretty damn good considering the hardware

thats what you think because you are a fan

but a 14year old kid scannin games at an arcade will probably pick which ever game is screamin eye candy at him

snk needs to build a quick fan base(go mainstream), get its graphics up to par, and then keep the new fans in with gameplay

Maybe true, but I think that SNK has to take this opportunity in the US right now. I mean they can capitalize on what Capcom has done, and that's putting their name and characters back in the mainstream with CvS and CvS2. With SNK vs. Capcom looming ahead, I think they can break into mainstream with that. Hopefully they'll use the NAOMI board for that game and fit in a bunch of stuff.

SNK NeoGeo USA, can help a lot. They can help to get the stuff out here in the US. More exposure and stuff.

Graphics do matter a lot, but not as much as people think they do. I do have to say that KOF is the worse looking fighter right now that SNK has had in a while, but that's what happens when you put all those characters into one game. If Capcom put more characters in SF3 then the characters wouldn't look as good, but KOF looks a little better every year though.

If they do fail (which I doubt), at least we can be thankful that there is an SNK still around in the first place. They could have been a part of Capcom and the games would be really screwed up. Of course, to see the Shoto team in KOF would be kinda nice.

BTW, what happened to the MVS 2?

Unfortunately SNK vs Capcom has already been confirmed as a MVS title. I don't think making new hardware should be a priority of Playmore since Hyper Neo-Geo 64 and the Crystal board failed so badly. Naomi has shown that it handles 2d fighters no sweat. If they released a high res non-kof fighter on Naomi... like Garou 2 or Last Blade 3, I'd say they might have a chance.

Sadly, I expect this SNK USA to be exactly like the original; I.E., it will be staffed by morons and will do absolutely nothing helpful to anyone ( I've actually heard that the same guy is president, too, but I forget his name at the moment.. )

Yeah, I think it'll be tuff to put KOF on something new with graphical updates. Especially if they were to redraw everyone. They'd probably have to cut and paste completely for a game. Or not come out with a KOF for a year.

The Barone family, who are they?

And what does SNK USA exactly do all day, I mean Playmore has 2 games that came out this year (not counting ports) and they've already been translated to English, does the American staff just sit around and play ping pong in their offices? or is it like a club thing where they show up to work once a month and have a King of Fighters cake party ^_^

The Barone family are a bunch of leeches who are suspiciously mafioso-like in organization ( And anybody who dates ANYONE from NGF has to have some sort of mental issues..) They were payed big bucks by SNK and did absolutely nothing as far as things like " localization ", " translation ", or " work ". The ping pong/cake party thing is (sadly) probably very accurate, only they got payed for it, too.
