Samurai Showdown,will,IMO,always be SNK's coolest series. Cool designs,and while the early SS's gameplay was typical of SNK,it was still good.

And I had no idea the MVS system was that old. O_O 1989.....geez. And KOF has ran on it all these years.....

I really enjoy these "History of" features on Gamespot. Knowing that folks there are partial to SNK, it was only a matter of time before they did one for SNK -- awesome still. Even if there are some inaccuracies here and there -- there's a thread on the Insert Credit forums that discusses them -- it's generally a good read.

EDIT: Tough talk

Yeah, it's been indeed a very interesting reading. Anyways, I wanted to know more about SNK's "dark era" and their relationship between Eolith.

I third that, very interesting report. Perhaps a little too long x_x, specially in the interview with Game Lord, but very interesting and clarifying for me, even if it had some inaccuracies, as OmegaDog mentions, thanks for the link.

BTW, speaking of inaccuracies, I couldn't help thinking of Rugal when reading these:

Many fans consider Samurai Shodown II to be the high point in the Samurai Shodown franchise, of which there are now seven installments. Two of these are rather terrible 3D games produced for the Hyper NeoGeo 64 arcade setup, though, so most fans only include the five standard NeoGeo releases in their counting.

Not surprisingly, a PlayStation version of the sequel to Samurai Shodown 64, Samurai Shodown: Warrior's Rage, was later produced for the PlayStation by SNK.

HOHOHO

Oboromaru. Yup seems they're all "one-eyed" masked guys now. Just coincidence.

Damn boredom that can kill you with a sword!
