Hi everybody! I'll be attending E3 again this year and I plan to get another interview session with SNK. Last year, my interview posted o nthis site too! I'll try to aim for an interview for Friday, but it's not guaranteed since their schedule might be filled up for that day.
So, if anyone here has any questions for SNK's President, Ben Herman (assuming he will be the one that I get to interview), post them here and I will be sure to ask him, provided the question is suitable.
Please keep in mind that he is the Presidnet of SNK so he might not be able to answer specific gameplay and storyline questions.
Ask away!
Hey man,since you're going to E3
and hopefully talk with the top man of SNK NeoGeo USA,here are three questions of which I surely want at least an answer:
1.Is there any hope that the KOF bundle packs,or at least KOF:Maximum Impact,will be released in Europe,to be exact in Malta?
2.Will KOF:Maximum Impact be coherent to the KOF storyline,or simply,will the game be considered canon?
3.Do they have any idea when The King Of Fighters 2004 will be released?
That's all.I hope that,with THE gaming event looming ever closer,I hope I'll get some confirmation on the stuff I'm looking forward to buy around the Xmas time.
Thank you in advance and the best of luck for your session.
Peace Forever!SNK Playmore Forever!

1. Are there any hidden characters for KOF Neowave like Vanessa, Ramon, Angel, Krauser, Mr. Big, Heavy D, May Lee etc. and if so can you please tell Japan to include them in the beta testing for balance? (if this question is inappropriate then I'm sorry)
2. Are there alternate costumes available for the characters in KOFMI? If not I think it would be a great idea for the sequel.
3. Please give all the SNK X-Box games Live functions if at all possible. And please grant us SSOS Live.
4. Are there plans for old school games like FFS, RB1, RB2, RBS, SS2, Garou, LB2?
5. Are there plans to bring updated versions of classic NGPC games like SVC MOTM, SVC CFC2, Magical Drop 3 to handhelds like GBA, PSP etc?
I understand if you find some of the above questions inappropriate. Please pick the questions to ask at your discretion thx.

Heck I can answer some of these:
quote:
Did KOF MI will show slowly the death of the 2D game or is it just a comercial try?
It was announced LOOOOOOONG ago (last years E3) that KoF: MI was going to be SEPERATE from the 2D series. NOT a replacement, just an "experiment" to try to get more fans into the series and to do the series in a different light.
quote:
Why did they choose to make a 3D game when their own graphisms didn't stand agaisnt other company title like VF 4, SC 2 or DOA3???
Why taking the risk to disapoint KOF fan with a 3D version, and not just making an new version of the old SNK 3D game like Samurai 64 1&2 with a graphic update.
(this will allow peoples who never play it to do so, without taking the risk to ruin a licence.)
First of all, you haven't played the title yet, so you don't quite know if the graphics are truely subpar compared to the 3D Fighter Giants. Unless you're comparing simple screenshots, which, IMHO, is stupid and ignorant. Besides you contradict yourself. Why do you want "remakes" of the older SS64 titles (which I agree would be a GREAT idea) when you say SNK shouldn't try to match SC2 or VF4? The SS64 games, which, even at the time, weren't graphically impressive compared to other games at the time either, yet they're still smewhat popular as SNK games, why can't you accept the *possibility* that KoF: MI could turn out the same way.
Risking disappointment is what companies have to do, they can't always cater to every fan's wishes. Besides, many people know that if KoF3D turnds out awful, okay back to the 2D series, that's all. For some reason, Naruto, you think KoF:MI is the most horrible idea on earth and that we'll never see 2D games again, because of it. Get real.
As for my questions for you Celsius:
-Are there any real plans for any more GBA games like a SvC Cardfighter's Clash port or a new KoF?
-Any word on SvC2?
-The previews of Metal Slug 3 show they finally can make the titles uncensored. Will this devolpment be strictly for the XBox? Metal Slug series? Or will it be carried on to all SNK Arcade Ports (PS2 and XBox)?
-One of the features said to be in Samurai Sprits Zero for the PS2 was a new Story Mode mainly for the unplayable characters in the Arcade version. Is there any chance that the Story mode from the original Japanese Arcade version will be translated and be put in the US version since we really got left out.
Thanks Celsius Best of luck!

I second the request for older games.
Tell him that a lot of people would be interested in older complilations. I donīt know how many games fit in a X-Box and PS2 DVD, or if they have to be single discs...
Some ideas:
AOF1, AOF2, AOF3
FF1, FF2, FF3
RBFF, RBFF2
FFS, Garou, RBFFS
KOF94, 98
KOF 95, 96, 97
KOF 99, 2000, 2001 (X-Box)

Yes I thrid this, I forgot to ask originally.
Way back in December he said such compilations were behind schedule and thus were no plans of release. I forgot to mention that as a possible question.
I'd like to see PS2/XBox collections of various games like:
SS1-4
KoF 94-99
AoF1-3
These games could be as Arcade Perfect as they can be, but have an option like recent PS2 ports like real transperancies and Hi-res art. And have all the extras from the PSX/Saturn versions like artwork and ASTs. That would be sublime.

When I talk about Samurai "remakes", did the idea of an graphisms update using Graphic engine who already exist like SC2, is a possibility in your mind???
Mind who seems as stuborn as mine it seems......
A remake without update on the graphisms or the control, characters and such is just a waste of time.
I was thinking to a huge update of all those old gmaes that many peoples didn't get the chance to try yet.

That's it. And if you try to think a bit more than 20 seconds you'll see that I'm right. Even with a little sucess they will found slowly that making cheap 3D games will be easier that good 2D so, they'll choose the 1st option.
Beto: no offence but IGN and Gamespot are americna board on their totality or majority so I won't take them as good exemple.
Now on gamefaqs who is a bit more international, curious but on different board (2D & 3D ) peoples doesn't seems so excited..........
But well when you'll end with a crapy game in hands, then you'll maybe change your mind.

Kula, Shingo and Saisyu were all mid-bosses.
And in the Hong Kong loke of NeoWave, two things was mentioned that the AW-Net features would unlock more characters.
Those were the words I was waiting and hoping to hear. You just upped my anticipation for this game ridiculously. Now the question lies with should we beta-test the unlockable characters extensively...and I say yes. (whether it be open or closed beta)
Kim, Vanessa, Ramon etc. anyone?
Even the Mixed Team makes sense now. Since Shingo was midboss in 98, Saisyu was midboss in 95, and Kula was midboss in 2000... It's the midboss team! (and this strikes me as insanely funny since I'm currently playing Disgaea with the Midboss)
edit: Somebody PLEASE make the open/closed beta testing of the unlockable characters happen. (perhaps this could be a request at the interview?) I just want this game to be balanced. If this is that KOF we've been waiting for with all the characters, improved backgrounds, anti-liasing, AST quality music, smoother animation, better balance than 2k2, perfect controls etc. then awesome. I see nothing revolutionary here either. But let's hope that Neowave really earns its name by bringing the best of the NeoGeo to the Atomiswave with enhancements/improvements.

Sure I thought about it, it WOULD be nice to see a Samurai Shodown with SCII graphics. And I see what you're talking about. All I'm saying is, this new game could turn out pretty well. You keep ASSUMING it's not for the whole fanboyish reason, you hate 3D.

That's a good point, but why do you INSIST on assuming the game's going to be all that bad. For all we know, SNK could pull it off. SNK knows they're major profit lies in 2D games, they won't just give it up just like that. Yet you assume they will. I really hate you'll make some kind of trollish comment (Remember saying, "HAHAHA I hope this game dies like CFAS!" Yeah you said that) and then you try to back it up with only more fanboyish comments trying to sound serious. It's getting really tiresome.

There you go and your assumptions again. I'm in no way saying this game will be good no matter what, because you're saying the mirror opposite in that the game will suck no ifs, ands, or buts about it. All I'm saying is, the game DESERVES a chance, and it's just plain stupid to dismiss it for purely the fact that it's 3D. It COULD be good, it might NOT. I mean geeze, if you're so against 3D why do you want a remake of SS64? I mean by YOUR logic, who cares if the game comes out it's, *gasp* 3D!

NO I didn't hate 3D!! I just didn't see the point to make a game in 3D if it won't use the possibility that the 3D offer.
I mean if there making it with a 2D playability what's the point to making it 3D??? And if they make it with a 3D playbility (free movement a la VF4 or SC2) all the special and super move will turn useless since a simple side-step will avaoid them, finaly air play are some kind inexistent in 3D game, VF or SC game only have a very short use of jumps and 2D-ish game like SF EX or Rival school have all the astronaut jump syndrom.( 15 min to jump and land....). Fianly even with a 2D playbility, in 3D this game will nevr play as good as a 2D kof and doing combo will be too much different from a "True" KOF game.

Hey Cain don't bee so blind, all 3D-plays as 2D tittle have never had as much sucsess as the true 2D series. The SF ex serie was never as sucsessfull as the Zero or 3/3rd strike series, Star gladiator and rival school have got just a shodow of sucsess, even VS game fan didn't know those series, and in "SNK's world" FF 3D and the samurai sprit 3D aren't that well known by the players.

Well theanswer here is quite the same as the 2nd one, we all know that those 2D-isn 3D games have rarely a true sucsess, and this KOf 3D seems to be made more for stupid kids who only think 3D is good than for true KOF fans. So why making a remake of SS64 games?
BECAUSE THEY ARE ALREADY IN 3D!!!! So there isn't any risk to spoil the KOF saga with a pityfull game. If KOf 3d is screwed peoples will alway keep in mind this failure, with a remake failure or not the game was already made so there is no risk to disapoint the fan, especialy if you update the game graphicaly and with some gameplay correction.
If they wish so much 3D game why not creating a brand new game?? or making a sequel to games that exist like Buriki One??
this was you have no chance to screw a serie.
Any Cain you seems as stuborn as me and you're defending our opinion as strongly as I defend mine. those are nice discussion, I like you dude! ^^

Hey not a problem, for the record, I don't have any gripes with you either. You make some great points. So you'e basically saying, why "ruin" the series' 2D aspects by putting it in 3d, instead make a whole "new" game? That's fine, I think I understand where you're coming from now. Unfortunaetly, the only 3D SNK game I've played so far is SS:Warriors Rage 2. And I really thought the overall presentation (music, story, FMV scenes) was great but lacking a little in the gameplay. I really hope MI can keep soem of the good aspects from that game, and make a better experience all together from it.
All I'm trying to say is, even if it's completely different from the 2D games, which it'll more than likely will be. It could still be a great game, hopefully good enough for a sequel. As I said in the beginning, the game COULD (I'm emphasizing "Could" because we never know) turn into the next Rival Schools. In terms of overall gameplay I mean, since RS had new characters, while MI is KoF in 3D. They could be very different but at the same time, both very fun to play in their own ways. All in all, though, I look forward to it since it's something somewhat fresh and new from SNKP which is the last thing I can say about Neowave at the moment IMHO.

All in all, though, I look forward to it since it's something somewhat fresh and new from SNKP which is the last thing I can say about Neowave at the moment IMHO.
OK it seems we understand each other now. I mean I've no problem about KOF MI if it turns to be a good game, all I fear it's in 1 way it could be a failure and then KOF serie will have a "black sheep" just like Fataal fury with his 3D episode who wasn't great. This may lead to a sad conclusion, 2D only works with a short Fanboy audience and 3D have failed so no more KOF.
And if this game is having an Half sucess I fear that it will be more easy to pass the whole saga in 3D than to leave it 2D.
Good or bad KOF MI should stay a stand-alone with no sequel or such, just a try no more.

The following somehow turned out to be a somewhat heartfelt essay/editorial for SNKP and SNK USA.
With the huge announcement of Samurai Shodown 5 Special being the final NeoGeo game, the fans have high hopes for SNK to maximize the Atomiswave's capabilities: high resolution graphics, smooth animation, AST quality music and so on. Guilty Gear tried this with a fresh cast, balanced gameplay and it worked wonders.
Atomiswave should be able to handle many more characters than the NeoGeo. With a name like Neowave, indicating the very best of the NeoGeo on the Atomiswave, it would be great if Neowave really lived upto its name and the full potential behind this opportunity.
The opportunity to create something truly great...something very special as a lasting monument to all the NeoGeo KOF games...with a huge cast, polished balance, AST music, and the maximum utilization of the AW's capabilities.
Instead of a question...I guess what I have written is a request to please utilize the full power of the AW in the years ahead. 2D fighter genre is so technologically behind the other genres. Cutting edge graphics, passionate quality, innovation, and solid gameplay (what Shin Nihhon Kikaku once stood for) will surely jumpstart and revive this dying genre. There is no limit. The Future Is Now.

edit //I quote EddyT on the following since it's so relevant to the point I'm trying to make:
"I really think that if any of the 2D fighter companies (Sammy, SNK, Capcom) really wanted to make a resurgence with a 2D fighter sequel or crossover, they would have to start from the ground-up. That means new sprites for everyone that would be on par with current technology. If any of those three ever realize that, they would probably rake in the dough that the other two would be passing up. I am sure all 3 realize that, but won't make the extra effort for unknown reasons."
