yeah those mascots are like acorns, a fagots rough delight. What was playmore thinkin? Why not have Terry and Kyo or Haohmaru and Ryo you know established SNK characters. Or if they wanted super deformed cute characters what about Magical Drop or Metal Slug characters, jeez. Those mascots look like something on one of Drift King Ex's shirts(who doesn't speak japanese by the way but knows like all the words to his Jpop CD's).

So what's these characters' history with SNK? I don't ever recall playing a game with either of these characters in it.

A pink fucking bunny, very rugged character.
This will now represent us as fans.
Make sure to wear it to village people reruns and star trek conventions.

My dick is soar already.
Whos that goofy boy, he should put his hands down. And by down I mean chop them off.
Of course, kick ass candidates like G mantle are nowhere to be found.

Im off to get a pink bunny t shirt made, got the gay logo strapped to my forhead with the word moron shaved on the back of my skull.

I wanted this game SOOOO bad. I read about it for months in ODCM, and it never came over here.
crying One of SNKs most original concepts in years.

Some SNK fans YOU guys are. :p

Anyways, any chance we Engrish speakers will be able to join the fan club as well, or will it only be for Japs?

Jigen, Nruva... What the hell is going on???

I gather it's a pocket game. that's about all I can gather. That and there's way more characters where they came from.

It was a 3D Dreamcast game, along with a Neo Pocket version (Cool Cool Jam). It's a rhythm game, and links to the NGPC. It also supports the maracas controller.

There is a pretty damn good FAQ at gamefaqs if you want to read up on it, it really showed that SNK could do good, substantial 3d.

One of SNKs best creations in the last 5 years they were around.

All you need to know is that it was a music game made by SNK... now, if that isn't cool then I don't know what is. Very cool characters, very cool game... It was a great DC title, and that you all don't know about it makes me feel a little ill... some SNK fanboys you turned out to be!

And, yes, I pray we get a MVS version... I mean ROTD proved we could have decent quality samples. Now, lets do a music game on the Neo! Cool Cool Toon MVS anyone?

I definitely remember Cool Cool Toon. I bought both CCT and Cool Cool Jam (That's the Neo Geo Pocket Color version), when they first came out. Cool Cool Toon was very very cool. Not only was it the first major music game that fully utilized Analogue controls, it was the first truly innovative music game that totally got away from the typical Bemani or BAM style games that was being cloned to heck. The control scheme rocked, and even had these cool slides you had to do. You also had a whole host of unlockables, costume changes, characters, etc. And a wicked art style that was not only consistant, but truly unique in and itself. The music was rather sweet, and contained some of the most strong bass rifts of anything SNK produced. At the time, it also sported the most accurrate input to audio recognition, of a character-based (which means non-Bemani) music title. None of that, certain notes must be delayed behind or before the music for it to count perfect, here (like certain times in Parrapa and BAM). That especially was important as you went up BOOM levels. And going up BOOM was really satisfying as doing so hits that really cool strong BASS explosion sound. In some of those meatier songs like the Werewolf, hitting that BOOM level in some of those down beats, really aided the music. And gave you a feeling of being interactive in producing the audio as well as the video.

I have it, it looks great. I have the samba marracas but couldn't quite figure it out, so i played with the pad instead. A lot of fun with some great graphics and music! The characters are like jet set radio kids, AMP looks like a mini Beat, oh, and Kameo is cool and King (the boss) owns.

I'm happy that they are running a fan club but huh? Does playmore freking love Easter or something? I mean cmon, to what demographic are they trying to appeal to here, 4 year olds? Jeeze, even most kids under 10 will still think its GAY.

I say make a sequel to NAM'75, call it SNKWORLDKILLERS'75, and shoot these two bastards full of fucking holes?

Playmore, you insulted us!

Oh, this fan club cannot possibly be worldwide, they would have billions more people laugh at them instead of just the Japan population.
