I've asked them some questions about future releases and finally got an answer.

Here we go:
Q: Will MS3 be released for DC?
A: Unfortunately, we have not decided the release of MS3 for DC officially.

Q: Will you continue supporting the MVS or will you move to another platform?
A: We will continuously support the MVS.

Q: Will you continue supporting the AES?
A: Yes, we will continuously support NEOGEO home system as well as the MVS.

Q: Will you release KoF R-3 for the NGPC which has already been produced but was not sold?
A: There are no such games called KOF R-3. And, we have no plan to release
new titles for NGPC.

Q: When will SvC be released for the MVS? Will there be an AES release?
A: We have not decided when we will release SNK vs. Capcom on the MVS yet.
And, we are planning to release it for NEOGEO, but we are not sure when it
will be.

Q: Will you release new titles for the HNG64? (I HAD to ask this...even if the answer would be no *g*)
A: We do not have a plan to release new titles for Hyper NeoGeo64.

I guess that's it for now.
My questions about gameplay details to SvC and about unreleased HNG64 games were ignored.

dfx: Already asked them about SS5, LB3 and MotW2, but I wanted to share the questions already answered with you. Will keep you up-to-date when I get info about SS5, LB3 and MotW2.

I don't really care for KoF2K2 so I didn't ask....and they're not giving out gameplay details to unreleased games as you can see in my SvC question. I originally asked for gameplay details, but these questions were ignored.

64 characters with the actual capacity of neogeo cartrigdes is almost impossible (with good backgrouds and animations)

The only way to have such a roster is:
a) Decreasing the number of stages, details and frames per animation (That would suck... well some will say it have "retro-style" <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[LOL]" /> )
b) Increasing cart capacity (That will be REALLY interesting)

I think that the roster will be smaller than 64 characters but if it have 64... we will have around 3 stages only :p At least with NeoPCM2 we won't have shitty music...

But if Playmore have an improved mvs... then thing would be diferent...

dfx:
Well KoF99+2K were crap. 2K1 looks and sounds like crap, but it plays great.
The Striker system finally is a good addition to the gameplay...two years after it was introduced.
And now they're kicking it out of the game?!? I don't get it.

And the series really needs some serious animation upgrade (which means more space or less characters).

KoF2K1 already looks crappy...how will 2k2 look with even MORE characters? Just one background with no music? Less voice samples, no Intro and no boss? Come on...KoF has returned to playability and needs some optical refreshment...not another gameplay re-design.

Anyway...Playmore won't answer questions like these...I just hope to get a positive reply about lb3, motw2 and especially ss5 <img src="graemlins/drool.gif" border="0" alt="[Drool]" />

I'll rather prefer "Kof'98 ver2002" <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[LOL]" /> More animations and the striker system with ALL the Kof cast as strikers :) but the same number of fighters (well... add boss team from 96, Eiji kisaragui, and a new K' team)

Heh, well put, Mystery.

I too think that 99 and specially 2k are buggy, crappy and full of annoying strikers... sometimes I think it would be better for Playmore to invest brain power and money in new and fresh games instead of re-heating all the old stuff over and over again...

hmm...

but... deep down in my 16bit heart I silently hope that it goes on forever... ...and ever.

Ah btw., the strikers in KoF2k1 aren't as abusive as in 99 and 2k, but I still don't like them. Yep, there are a few interesting striker combos, but I could sure as hell live without them.

If you guys are so desperate for new ngpc games why don't you comission Playmore to make you some?

That's the only way you'll ever get new releases. The ngpc is not a financially viable system for them. I'm positive Playmore would be scrambling to release new games for ngpc if they thought they could make money out of it.

Good news about the SNK vs Capcom release tho!! :D

SNK vs. Capcom is a guaranteed release. It's just a matter of time.

The other questionable titles that have been rumored by many people are:

-Last Blade 3
-Garou 2

None of those titles have been confirmed to be released.

I don't see Playmore releasing LB3 because it didn't perform well in any country, according to SNK. It flopped big in the U.S., Europe, Japan and most importantly, the Hispanic countries.

Garou 2 would be a possibility only because of the Mexican market, since it did fairly well there. All other markets, didn't respond too well to MOTW.

Treiuminator: Mexico is not Hispanic. Spain is Hispanic. Mexico is south-american. Spain is in Europe and all the stuf... ya' know...

Those US teachers still compare spanish with mexicans. And why they dress us with bullfighting clothes?? By the way... there aren't bulls on the loose in the streets... that's only 5 days a year and it's called "San Fermines" :p

Now I thought any country or culture with Spanish as the primary language is 'Hispanic.' And Mexico is Central American, since it's part of North America as a whole. But that's the application of the terms for people raised and educated in the US. Perhaps it is different than in Spain. I should point out that in Spanish classes here in the US, there are points made to differentiate usage for Spanish in Spain, and Spanish in other South American countries. Don't worry, we got you covered.

hispanic is a term used in the US. its the one you see in surveys (white, african american, hispanic, asian, pacific islander etc).

i don't remember too much of my social studies class, but i think it just refers to a demographic of spanish speaking people in the US. (not to be confused with Latin which would be spanish speaking people all over the world)

Hispanic= A person who is from South, Central America and or Mexico.

Spanish people from SPAIN are European.

America is like classified like these:

North America = Canada, US, and Mexico.

Central America = Guatemala, Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama.

South America = Brazil, Argentina, and bunch of others.

So I guess they would ignore me if I asked for a Last Blade 1 & 2 Symphonic Suite <img src="graemlins/loco.gif" border="0" alt="[Loco]" /> .

But it would rock <img src="graemlins/drool.gif" border="0" alt="[Drool]" /> .

Sheesh... Okay...

Here's the definition from Roget's dictionary:

His·pan·ic Pronunciation Key (h-spnk)
adj.
-Of or relating to Spain or Spanish-speaking Latin America.
-Of or relating to a Spanish-speaking people or culture.

n.
-A Spanish-speaking person.
-A U.S. citizen or resident of Latin-American or Spanish descent.

Which of course confuses me about if you should call Brazillian's "hispanic" since since they speak Portuguese. ;)
