Ok. This question has been eating at me for months now...

What do we know about the people at Playmore? Did they hire any original SNK development people? Is E. Kawasaki with Playmore?(as many of you know, he being an executive producer for SNK, and his name is on the ending credits on many SNK games)

Has playmore hired any other well known talent lately?

Kawasaki sold out of SNK in like, 97 or 98, right?

A lot of the great names seem to be gone from the Art dept. Senri Kita works freelance. Shinkirou went to Capcom, not sure about Tonko.

And then Tate Norio, what happened to him? Not sure.

Explains why Playmore can't make an SNK game, I guess.

Playmore can't make a game at all. Since they came into existance , all they've done is snatched up the IP'S and whored them to other companies. It's always "Developed by company X , Licensed by Playmore" And all the games that have been licensed by playmore are just more rehashes. This is ticking me off. i want some new franchises , damn it.

I thought he might have been working for Playmore again - I'm sure his name is featured in the music credits for KOF 2002 anyway...

Someone correct me if am wrong or if I'm thinking of someone else? :)

Last time I saw Tonko was the Metal Slug 4 credit. He was with noise factory, not sure about now.

I wonder where Meeheer (sp?) is. He/she seems to be like the project leader for Metal Slug games but was nowhere to be found in MS4.

well, they basically used Tate-san's music in KoF 02, so I guess they had to give him credit.

Yeah I guess that could bve true... so he didn't have a hand in composing any of the new tunes that are in KOF 2002?
