SNK making smart business decisions? Impossible!
Ports of Slug 3 and SvC have been announced. I don't own an Xbox and am not a particularly big fan (apart from the fact that it's great for playing pirated/emulated shit on apparently), but releasing games on it (at least in the US) actually resembles a fairly viable business strategy, particularly if they add online support. Here's to multi-platform support from SNKP.
Thoughts, comments, quandries? (apart from "Xbox sux0rs, PS2 rules j0O")
This makes me happy, currently my brother keeps his PS2 downstairs on the living room TV and I the XBox on the TV in my room.
Since the XBox is my DVD player, and he plays games everynight from 5:30 until dinner it's a real hassel for us to switch consoles without interupting the other's plans... so as a result, he doesn't play Halo all that much and I don't play PS2 games.
So XBox (or GCN) ports are super keen in my book, means I can actually play them without carrying a system and tons of cords upstairs while my brother complains.
This picture is unusally orange no?

Here's an idea, might be costly though. Why not buy a few pairs of PS2/GC/Xbox ac adapters and RCA cables and set them up in your two gaming locations. That way, switching consoles would be relatively easy. Just swap in and out the console.
In the future I predict and I hope that game consoles become sort of like centralized servers. You buy your PS5 or Super Gamecube, stick it in a closet with a 10, 20, 30 disc changer and then have access to the system and all the games through ethernet or wireless networking.
That would be cool. But that technology is too far away from now.

I have a switchbox for all of my consoles, it works fairly well for that sort of thing (unless of course you don't like unplugging RCA cables).

That would be like a jukebox. While that would be super-neat, it's not very practical at this point in time, or even in the foreseeable future. Heck, if I could do that for my home network I'd be set, but current technology doesn't allow for that sort of thing (particularly anti-pirating measures).
I found Kagami's sword in a junk yard.
I will rule the world and find that truly good cup of coffee.
