Yes. Also, the Commodore 64 has come back to the mainstream in full force. Sales have toppled the PlayStation2's... :rolleyes:

Derrrrrrrr.

I'd be very impressed if SNK did make a new system... especially seeing as SNK don't exist anymore. :rolleyes:

So which system is it genius?

Hyper 64?
Crystal System?
Neo Pocket?
MVS?
JAMMA?
PS3?

Why is it all the assholes come out the woodwork at Christmas? :rolleyes:

The "love your fellow man" sediment is associated with Christmas and it makes assholes their normal selves. Merry Christmas Tarma! :)

I heard a rumor that Sega and SNK were making a new system. I heard this rumor about 6 months ago. But naturally I remember being told by the same guy that the Dreamcast could play PSX games on its own without a converter and that Sony would sue them. This all seems to be the same crap that you hear from game stores. Where they get all this crap I will never know.

I fucking love it. Out of all of us here, no one knows about it, and yet some "friend" knows more than all of us combined?

Can he also walk on water? <img src="graemlins/spock.gif" border="0" alt="[Spock]" /> What a silly question!

Tarma, I don't think Makismo realizes how stupid he can be "Sega and SNK were working on a system 6 months ago", didn't SNK go under about a year ago? And Sega almost two years ago? <img src="graemlins/spock.gif" border="0" alt="[Spock]" />

Even a powerful system isnt going to save a company, as the 64 attests. Too little, too late. Was a nice try, though. Least the bread and butter operation of the main Neo Geo kept things going quite a while.

The home market has to compete with the internet and and computer games. aNot so good a battle. Dreamcast, vERY powerful hardware and it fell over like a lead balloon.

Any system and design needs to meet certain objectives. Been designing up a small arcade controller for my purposes, to get back into design. By today's standards, it would get laughed at, but it will do as I want. 8 bit 6502 with 32K ram, 32k rom and 42 input/output ports. Nicest beauty is that the design is down to 8 absolutely common chips you can still find anywhere. Whole thing fits on a 3 by 5 board size. Planned usages include pinball machines, redemption game design, robotics and haunted house controls. Now, to find time to finish the layout :)

Ah ha! All right you doubtful bitches!! I just got off the phone with the guy, and he corrected himself! He said they're coming out with an MVS 2. And when I say "SNK", I don't mean them literally... I mean Neo, in general. Geez! You sluts hurt the hell outta my feelings! (Never ask YOU jerks a question again.... *grumble grumble*)

I have no illusions... Playmore is not releasing a new system of any stand alone kind, nor an upgrade to MVS. Sure I'D KILL FOR MVS II! But in all reality this is just another piece of wishfull thinking on the part of someone who loves their NEO and would like to see the NEO back up in the lime light. I for one will not hold my breath... been burned too many times... and I've seen far to many "My friend in the Know says... Blah Blah Blah." to take anything like this even remotely serious.

I'll believe it when I see it. <img src="graemlins/mrt2.gif" border="0" alt="[Mr T]" />

Well if I do remember correctly, a certain member of these boards who has reliable connections to Playmore did mention in chat that they were going to release a new system in the coming year or so....

Peace

Unless it'sa revision of the existing mvs technology I would have thought Playmore would avoid another 2D system after the failure of the Crystal System.

Unless of course they're going for a totally new 128bit system to rival the CPS systems of this world.

If they were sensible they'd concentrate on developing for the home consoles and get some revenue in before investing in new arcade technology.

Heh, I'd be happy if SNK/Playmore started reproducing the NGH console. Think about it - the technology is so cheap nowadays, if they could mass produce it it could probably be availible for 100 - 150$. It would be awesome. Maybe a new system shell to...all wishful thinking :( .

Your absolute stupidity amazes me Matt. Sega did NOT go under 2 years ago. They just stopped making systems in favor of producing software for other systems. If you had a brain in your head you would notice that I said that I did NOT in fact believe that Sega and SNK were making a system. I said it "This all seems to be the same crap that you hear from game stores. Where they get all this crap I will never know." Doesn't that sound to you that I did not believe it?

How about this:"But naturally I remember being told by the same guy that the Dreamcast could play PSX games on its own without a converter and that Sony would sue them." Everyone knows that Sega NEVER made the Dreamcast to play PSX games. Bleemcast by another company did this. Also, this shows that I am telling you all that the credibility of this guy was shot to shit before I heard this rumor from him so naturally I would not believe this latest rumor.

Matt and Tarma - get a fucking brain! I had more respect for you two than that. Why don't you two go back to Kindergarten and go over that reading comprehension lesson again. <img src="graemlins/makeface.gif" border="0" alt="[Make Face]" />
