Ask them if they are going to continue supporting the MVS or if they are moving everything to an other system such as the Atomiswavevishema:

Even the most glorious mask cannot hide change frownFran:
* shrugs*
the company name means nothing in the end
playmore,snk playmore...whatever
the geniuses behind a lot of the older games are gone now anyway
Exactly as Nick mentioned, when SNK tried to break itself from Aruze by bankrupting itself in Japan and then reforming in Korea, it ended up in a trademark battle with Aruze over the right to use the actual name "SNK" within Japan (but not outside, i.e. the US, HK and EU). Now it sounds like they may have recieved the upper hand for some reason, and have taken the initiative.nruva:
as said a million times, it is all the same.
SNK = Playmore = SNK Playmore
I agree. The first thing I thought of when I learned about the "Playmore" name was Engrish.EvilWasabi:
"Playmore" was a retarded name to begin with.
And it has definitely rubbed off on them.
I caught myself wondering where this "shot in the arm" came from. Makes me wonder why the apparent need to get that SNK name back into the title.Now it sounds like they may have recieved the upper hand for some reason, and have taken the initiative.
It could also be that maybe (and this is completely talking out of my ass as I'm naive as to Japanese Law) that the IP rights expired on it and it may be free to use to the first registrar or something.Bobak:

Screw Shinkirou.deffty:
Yes, the first thing they should do is get Shinkiro back no matter the cost.
Without him, Playmore will never look or feel like SNK.
Fuck that stupid artist who responsible for 2001.
shame
They also mention something about new Amusement Machines. I wonder -- would this be the elusive MVS 2 hardware that we've heard so little about?/QUOTE]
these new amusement machines are probably photo stops, plachinko machines (is that right?), and stuff like that not nesesarily a new MVS
