Sorry if this has been posted before. I searched and didnt find anything.

A local arcade dealer gave me a couple of back issues of Replay Magazine today so I decided to see if they have a site. When I went there I noticed that they had some neo news.

They mention 5 new MVS carts by Jan!

here is a copy of the article:

SNK MOVES MAIN OFFICE BACK TO OSAKA

(posted Tuesday, July 10, 2001 -- 12PM)

SNK Japan has moved its head office back to Osaka, reports Japan’s Game Machine magazine. The firm had moved to Tokyo following its acquisition by gaming machine maker Aruze. However, communications between the two entities has broken down, according to Game Machine, prompting the move back to the company’s former home in Osaka. Aruze owns 50.9% of SNK, which filed for protection under Japanese bankruptcy laws on April 2. The company posted 37,578 million yen in net loss for the fiscal year ending this past March. That figure reportedly includes a special one-time loss of 25,621 million yen as well as appraisal losses arising from the firm’s failed Neo Pocket consumer handheld, which was discontinued last year. These financial woes have had little effect on the supply of content for the company’s coin-op Neo Geo system, say U.S. sales execs. Operators can expect five new Neo Geo products by next January including the latest King of Fighters installment as well as an SNK vs. Capcom cartridge, not be confused with the current Naomi title Capcom vs. SNK 2 previewed by Capcom at E3. Citing legal reasons, SNK sales execs would not comment on a recent news story about a U.K. company, Vektorlogic, reportedly looking to provide content for Neo Geo systems around the world.

This site might be a good source on MVS news. I might even get a subscription. The back issues (July '96) I got has full page ads on Metal Slug 1 and Ninja Masters <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">

Yes I picked up an issue of replay every month When I go on a flyer raid at the Arcade dealer here.

It is a great source for MVS news and also a good place to Find mvs game dealers that may not be on the web FYI.
