Short Comment- ChallengerAM Goes Nuts? Claims SNK vs Capcom for NeoGeo in May & More.

I'm writing this as a short comment today, since I can't confirm any of this at the time being to write them as *News*.

I don't know what to make of today's update by respected Japanese arcade chain store site Challenger-AM. I can't claim any of their info to be true at the time being. Please take the notes below with caution.


1- Challenger-AM claims "Rage Of The Dragons" scheduled for release in May, to be a Double Dragon fighter game. This seems to be correct, as images in their site (magazine scans) depict the two main characters as "Billy" and "Jimmy". Check below for links.

2- Challenger-AM also claims two additional titles to be released on the NeoGeo in the future. The two titles are- "Shin Gouketsuji Ichizoku" (New Power Instinct), and "SNK vs Capcom".

3- Challenger-AM lists Rage of the Dragons, KOF2002, Shin Gouketsuji Ichizoku, and SNK vs Capcom, as all scheduled for release in May. (I have strong doubts about this, for logical reasons. Perhaps it was an editing error by Challenger-AM.)


I'm suspecting that the scan and other info by Challenger-AM are from Enterbrain Co's Arcadia magazine, so I'll try checking up on it as soon as possible. This is quite some crazy info, so wait up before popping the Champaign.
