I don't know if this has been talked about but here it is any way.
I recently read at <a href="http://www.the-magicbox.com" target="_blank">www.the-magicbox.com</a> the following statement:

- 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 game business in Korea, Japan and Hong Kong. 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 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.

Can any one confirm this? Or has anyone else read any thing to contradict this?

Welcome aboard Mr. Wizard. I assume the same Mr. Wizard from SRK.com? I see you at SH Golfland some times too if I'm not mistaken.

Everything you write above is confirmed except, the only offices in operation are in Japan and the U.S. There is no Korean or Hong Kong office.

As for MOTW and Sam sequels, those too are rumored, but not confirmed.

No, not the same Mr. Wizard. I guess the best thing to do is wait and see as far as what games will or will not be released. Thanks :cool:

No, no! There's no SNK USA, but there IS an SNK Korea. Check out <a href="http://www.mmcafe.com" target="_blank">www.mmcafe.com</a> for all of the CONFIRMED stuff.

Madman's Cafe is incorrect.

Whether SNK is still around or not is kind of immaterial isn't it? Most of the software support is coming from 3rd parties anyway, right?
