Taken directly from the magic box:

- In a recent interview, SNK NeoGeo Hong Kong has revealed the company's plans for the year. SNK NeoGeo Hong Kong has been re-establish early in January, after the closure in 1999. SNK NeoGeo Hong Kong has confirmed that the pachinko maker Playmore has acquired all the intellectual properties of SNK, and they have re-established the SNK's game business in Korea, Japan and Hong Kong, under a new company name SNK NeoGeo. SNK NeoGeo is planning to release 5 arcade games and at least 2 home console games this year.

The first new arcade game will be released in mid-February
A new fighting game will be released in May
Eolith is currently developing The King of Fighters 2002, the game is scheduled for release in September
Before the release of KOF2002, SNK will be hosting a KOF2001 tournament in Asia
Brezza Soft is co-developing several new titles with SNK NeoGeo
Sun Amusement will continue to publish SNK NeoGeo arcade titles in Japan, and Brezza Soft will handle the publishing business oversea
Korean firm Mega Enterprise has acquired the rights from SNK to develop the side scrolling action game Metal Slug 4
New sequels of Garou: Mark of the Wolves and Samura Spirits are under development.

All I can say is: WOW

I need more details!!!!
What are those two games???
If it's MS4 and KOF2K1 then nothingh is certain according to seeing GMOTW on the NEO-GEO...
Maybe it will be released on the wrystal system...
So even if I'm very very Happy, it's still not enough for me!

SNK4ever!!!!!!!!

Sounds like a false alarm guys. In <a href="http://www.neo-geo.com/cgi-local/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=10&t=003344" target="_blank">this thread</a>, the SNK employee interviewed only states that those games WERE in development before SNK went out of business.


- Talk about the past. It was said that some production came to an untimely end...

Right. New series of Garou was under development as early as the year 2000. Samurai Shodown was also in conception that time. But they came to an untimely end because of the affair last year. <hr></blockquote>

Sounds like someone read this interview and took it as news instead of a rumor

Magic Box just stole this old info off the Challenger page in Japan.

Even Challenger admits that Garou 2 and New Samurai are only rumored.

Besides Metal Slug 4, the other titles are a new 2D fighter by the Groove on Fight/Power Instinct team, a new action shooting game that is untitled and KOF2002. He also says that the MVS version of SNK vs Capcom is coming out in early 2003.
