SNK is back!!!....almost

Panzer K · Mar 10, 2003

I was checking the update of Playmore´s new office
adress:

New Address: 14-12 Toyotsu-cho, Suita-city, Osaka 564-0051

The adress sounded familiar to me so I check my old flyers of KOF and here is the address of the old SNK BLDG.

18-12 Toyotsu-cho, Suita-shi, Osaka

So now PLAYMORE is about 4 numbers on the same street to come back...to SNK BLDG. tickled

Sounds nice. Except that I hate more Playmore everyday. :rolleyes:

CHRiZ-77 · Mar 10, 2003

Yeah, that´s really nice...

Maybe we´ll get our "Garou9:Return of the Wolves" or an "Art of Fighting 4..." drool_2

Btw, i´m not angry if one of the next official-releases will be a Samurai Shodown 5!!! :rolleyes:

I have heard a bunch of rumors that SNK will come back. But sadly, I don't think that they are true.

I dunno why, but I'm kind of afraid that Playmore is playing the same kind of bull-fight/"toro-toro!" game that got NGF busted for breaking the law.

Can I ask why you say that? spock

I have heard a bunch of rumors that SNK will come back. But sadly, I don't think that they are true.

To regain the name SNK would also mean regaining all their debts and problems that caused them to close. So yeah, unless Playmore gets some super huge megabucks to pay back all those debts, it'll likely never happen.

gozu+mezu · Mar 11, 2003

Yeah baby, like on tolkien's "YEAH BABY, THE KING IZ BACK", the intendant PLAYMORE will leave the place to the real king, decendent of SNK, ELSSNKNEOGEO (also known by the name of PLAYMORE).

GO!GO! PLAYMORE RANGERS.

Could you explain that more clearly?

Maybe they'll come into some serious money after they get through financially reaming out NGF and the other crooks they're putting through the legal system! tickled

We can hope anyway...

If SNK does come back, I hope they will make their games faster than playmore does.

shame
BETTER... not faster
Anyway, it's just a name... THE name, the dev team would be the same.

What are you talking about?

Playmore (and all companys that operate under them) is freaking SNK. Most of the old crew is still intact, they own the rights to most (or all series) and they operate in the SNK building.

So playmore would BE SNK if they changed the name to it? If SNK would have changed their name in the mid 90´s, would SNK be dead then?

Plus all of the foreign companies still have SNK in the name anyway: SNK-USA, SNK-HK etc.

And 'SNK VS. CAPCOM' will still be released as 'SNK VS. CAPCOM' not 'PLAYMORE VS. CAPCOM'.

"Most of the old crew is still intact"
I don't agree with you.
Most of SNK employees left SNK to go in other companies such as sammy or Capcom.
And I think it's quite visible according to the last products on the NEO.
Of course, Not even one game was really made by Playmore and I hope SNK VS capcom will rock!
Playmoore takes time to release it, I hope it's because they want to realease the best fighting game ever done, I don't want to think it's because they have problems to do the game.
Anyway, if SNK was really the SNK I remember in 2000 then all the games until now would had been really great... not just nice to see.
SNK will reborn... WILL.

PS: "they operate in the SNK building"
--> not true

Playmore do not develop games, playmore is the name of a collective with developers and publishers. Noise, eolith, evoga, mega and so on develop the games. Much like AM2, Amusement Vision and Hitmaker for example develops under the brand SEGA.
They do not operate in the SNK building? Please link me to some accurate information then. According the EDGE for example, they do, and the SNK logo is still on display.

I know that many people have moved on, but people left even when the company was called SNK.

Can´t you feel SNK in KOF 2002? Maybe that´s because you feel the name, not the game.

SNK is back!!!....almost
