" SNK NEO GEO USA" - Opening in January 2002

Since Event Gaming let the cat out of the bag, I have clearance to release some info. Neo Geo's new name will be as such confirmed by Event Gaming for the overseas market.

In January, the U.S. office will be opening up with the new name of "NEO GEO USA." This may change by then, but as far as I've heard Kawasaki wants to keep "NEO" name as part of his new company name.

As I reported earlier, Kawasaki was planning on using Brezzasoft as the company name; however, he only planned to work with their product, the Crystal System, developed by Brezza, using a similar set up as the Neo MVS. SNK NEO GEO USA will be helping Brezza distribute the Crystals system also. The price for this new unit including the Crystal of Kings game, range from $450-600.00, which is inexpensive given that you're getting the motherboard and game.

In other small news, expect SNK vs. Capcom for the NEO MVS. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> I said "small" didn't I?

Yes, 2002. Thanks BioMotor.

That's better! Crystal system? It's a piece of hardware developed by Brezzasoft for use with their new title Crystal of Kings. There's speculation that the Crystal system is in fact the next generation Neo Geo hardware, but that is not yet confirmed. For more Crystal of Kings info: http://www.brezzasoft.com

Taken from MM Cafe:

"Due to the flood of illegal products and companies illigitimately claiming to hold SNK product rights while SNK was under their temporary seizure, control over piracy will be taken. With the new Structure of SNK, PC emulator games/ROMs and game boards not released with permission through SNK NeoGeo Korea will be determined as illegal. Illegal products/boards can be easily be determined in the future, as legitimate products in the (Korean?) market will now hold the logo of "SNK NEOGEO KOREA"."

if this is true it is eccellent news. however that is only if neo geo usa will not operate the way SNK always did and fuck everything up. it would TRULY suck to see the same shit happen over again.

Some more great news ... if they are true.
Kawasaki is a cool guy, the man behind lots of top SNK games in first part of Neo`s life cycle. Btw: Does anyone know where Nishiyama, the top SNK producer from `96 - `00, did go too? Is he maybe involved too?

And: As good as it may sound for us, SNK vs. Capcom does not make sense from the economical point of view. The title itself is outdated and only the true fans will recognize that it`s not the same than the one Capcom produced, for the majority of arcade gamers this will make no difference. But I`m open for surprises <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

A certain BigTymer is apparently trying to find out where the U.S. offices will be so he can have a picture taken of himself standing outside the building, and claim "He knew about it all along." He is also anxiously waiting to find out who the President of the company will be, so he can sneak into their yard and have a picture of himself taken next to their car, then claim it is his.

Heh If anything I'm totally expecting something among those gay levels. I wonder if he's going to ask for a job there and get thrown out on his ass like he did the last time. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">
