|  "Just watched it"
, posted Thu 19 Aug 21:14
It wasn't bad. Reminded me a lot of that Gamespot article that came out a while back. They show a good bit of footage from KOF:MI, which was a plus for those of us who haven't seen it yet. They also brought up the whole Dan thing with Capcom, which I thought was kind of funny.
The part that interested me the most was when they talked about SNK's plans for the future (obviously). They said that they will continue to make sequels, as well as create new titles. Another prophetic line went something like, "If the fans demand it, we will revive any of our old series, but rather than a revival, we will make a renewal". Note that the line was a translation (of Kazuya Hirata, Director of R&D for SNK Neo Geo Corp.). He had an equally vague statement that went something like, "We are moving the King of Fighters series to other platforms... It is our duty to evolve our product, and I think that is the direction we will go in."
I still have the show saved on TiVo, so if anyone who missed it has some specific questions, I can check them out for you.

I enjoyed as well. I almost wish it was an hour long (or maybe even just 45 minutes), because I felt they rushed through the demise/revival of SNK in the last 5-8 minutes of the show. But mentioning the Pocket Color and Dan side-joke was a cool thing.
Interesting how they pointed out that w/ Capcom vs. SNK, the "majority" of the profits went to Capcom, and not split more evenly (although I guess Capcom did most of the work on the game<?>).
Also of note, I felt, was the main woman who they interviewed was saying how SNK felt KOF in 3-d wasn't designed or aimed for an aracde market (implying, I guess, that it wouldn't succeed?) and so that's why it's PS2 only. And she also said how gamers demand change, hence KOF going into 3-d for this title. I personally hope this is not a trend they follow.
I recommend everyone should watch this (or maybe DL a torrent of it, I'm sure one will sprout up). Peace!

I wanna see, pero I don't have that channel on my cable. Any chance of transfering TiVo to hard drive?
Jocularity?

I'm confused, are you saying that 3D is bad or that change is bad?
Sorry, I should have been clearer. What I meant, in my hurried typing, was that from what that woman said, I interpreted it as SNK saying "we are going to make more 3-d games" which I think for a company such as SNK, which prides itself as "hardcore" w/ a fanatical 2-d history and following, would be a shame, as 2-d has been on a steady decline as it is. Sorry, that sentence I just typed is the longest run-on sentence ever. Grammar police!
I am not saying 3-d or change are bad at all, just for a company such as SNK to depart from what made them who they are and continue to be would be too bad. But these are the times we live in...
Cheers!!
