That, and the whole SEGA deal. VF not making money? Haw. But, he's already been called on that in his own thread, by someone posting that VF4Evo's been awarded as best money making thingie two years in a row, and they held three slots out of five in total.
For the 2nd year in a row, Amusement Journal has awarded AM2's Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution with the Best Income Award. Sega took in three of the top five spots as can be seen below:
Top 5 Money Makers
Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution (Sega AM2)
The King of Fighters 2002 (SNK Playmore)
Virtua Striker 2002 (Amusement Vision/Sega)
Mobile Suit Gundam: Federation vs. Zeon DX (Capcom)
Power Smash 2 (Hitmaker/Sega)
PS : I've always knew that Trieu's gay !
lol, was just looking for that...
Notice that there is only ONE SNK property in that list... Shame how this all falls to pieces just because of this award...
I don't think SNK will give away their IP just like that and I recon they will do a Sega and just end up pushing for Console only releases... That would mean they will have to make some new stuff :)
Funny how he assumes that 2D will absolutly thrive in the arcades when its only KOF being released year after year, getting pirated like nothing... lol, he's mad for even believing that 2D carries the market...
Capcom 'lets' Sammy do "Sammy VS Capcom", not give every single property... It's probably only because they don't like making 2D beat-em-ups anymore... HSF2 is good proof of that. 10 years and they make that...
Sega lets Sonic appear on one of Sammy's pachinko machines... Nothing much to go on from there...
This report is nothing but wishful thinking... I can only hope that SNK plan to start going all out and bring more original titles to consoles if they wanna quit the arcade market. I'm all for it. I suppose KOF3D on the PS2 is their test water... I only hope the water is the right temp.

It's a lenghty article,
people keep asking me why I don't trust trieu. it's because of stuff like this...
the way he writes, it actually *sounds* like he's making it up. Plus he sticks in all this extra stuff about how SNK is the greatest company in the world, etc.
The only information in there is the possible sale of the ips, and the games that might come from it. But there's all this extra information that, if he trusts his readers, everyone should already know, and not need homogenized like this.
meh. he's too much of a fanboy, that's my problem. just irks me.
I love snk and all, but I love other things too.
and I agree about the motw2 thing. it's hard to get excited about an old b&w sketch, especially when the game was already announced by the stinger.

| "VF4 sucks, huh?" , posted Tue 20 Jan 21:10:
This is a quote from the SNK-Capcom.com article, which I found was edited to hell for some reason today.
(quote)
Sega's arcade titles are even tougher to make a buck. If you've ever wondered how much each of those driving sim arcade set ups cost, er, it's expensive, some over $10,000.00 USD. As an arcade operator, seeing black numbers (profit) from an investment like that would take months, possibly years, possibly never. Let's not talk about Virtua Fighter, please. We love Sega as well, but you've come to the 2-D site, so you know how we feel about 3-D Fighters. Looks great, but doesn't play particularly well, hence hasn't performed well.
(/quote)
Trieu discounting Sega's and VF4's worth in arcades was uncalled for. In fact, he's a fool to dispute the cold hard facts that Japan gamers prefer VF4 over his vaunted 2-D titles. VF4's merits shouldn't be judged on how it does in the US arcades, because anything that isn't DDR has done mediocre to bad in USA. Blame it on consoles and online gaming, not Sega's inability to make great arcade games. VF4 is truly a great fighter, 3-D or not, with very deep gameplay. I think it plays pretty well too... much more fluid than VF3. With the success it has enjoyed, you can't deny it being a well-executed fighter... even if you're not a fan.
Those kinds of statements and the fact that his whole article was based on unconfirmed rumors were disappointing to see IMO. I don't care if he does run a SNK-Capcom site... he doesn't speak for all of us when he bashes 3-D. I don't know... I felt that was kind of ignorant for him to say.
It was just something to blow sunshine up Neo-Geo fans' asses IMO. No offense to Neo-Geo fans, of course. I love SNK games, but I don't think their IPs will be the lone savior of the arcade industry. Especially not here in the US.
Maybe he should change the domain name to segasucks.com or snkprulesover3d.com...
