Is that true? I can't seem to find any information on it. The only trace left of them is
<a href="http://www.bekkoame.ne.jp/~adk/" target="_blank">http://www.bekkoame.ne.jp/~adk/</a> and being that I can't read Japanese I'm not even sure that's their official website (Doesn't look professional).

If they'll bring back Power Instinct hoping for a new WH isn't out of the question.

Was ADK actually a seperate company altogether? I thought they were just another development team internal to SNK that died with the company. I would love to see ADK come back as they made some of my favourite games on the Neo. Another World Heroes would certainly be a great comeback...

They had a different office, and address at one point. The company name was 株式会社ADK, and 株式会社 (kabushiki gaisha) means that it was a corporation with it's own separate stock, so I guess they were different companies on paper anyway.

If SNK bought ADK, Why is Playmore licensing and making a sequel to a fighting series that was never on the Neo? Don't get me wrong, a sequel to the Power Instinct/Groove on Fight series may be pretty cool, but wouldn't it make sense for them to make a sequel to a title or series that belonged to a company that was more close to SNK?
