Now listed as a press release on SNK Neo Geo USA's page. Now to see if Microsoft will approve these games. Sony's been giving them the cold shoulder when it comes to PS2 releases. I wonder if Ben Herman gave up on trying to release these games on the PS2 to go for Xbox?

Edit: In fact, that's exactly what happened, according to a post on SNK-capcom.com. Sony indeed has been giving us the cold shoulder, so they're trying their luck on the Xbox, which I hope would be easier to get approved than the PS2.

There is something I don't get, maybe you guys can help. Why did Sony approve MS3 and SvC:Chaos for Japan and is taking so long to approve them for the US? Isn't it all Sony anyway? So, whats the problem?

I actually think Microsoft will be much more open to these kind of games. Sony seems to think that they must constantly prove in the US that the PS2 is capable of highrez and 3D, maybe they are afraid that people will think the other consoles have better graphics. Microsoft on the other hand are desperate to get anything Japanese on the Xbox and they want a big library of games, remember Kabuki..

And this could be a good thing too, if Microsofts approves these kind of games and the 2D games go to the Xbox. Then Sony will soon realize how stupid they have been..

Personally I don't care what console SNK releases their games on, because I have both PS2 and Xbox. Only bad thing is that I don't have a Arcade stick to the Xbox, but it would not take long time to get one

Because Sony/Japan and Sony/USA are like 2 differant companies......They each have there own marketing departments, sales, dev, etc.....So what one may see as a slam dunk in a game(that it will be successful, i mean), the other may think it is a big risk and not release it. Otherwise, you would see alot more games over here, not just import only titles.

Oh Yeah!!!!!
SVC on X-Box live. Finally a real challenge, not my "non-fighter worthy" friends. don't get me wrong, they're my friends, but they don't play enough fighters to give me a challenge. So any other XBox owners, I'll be looking forward to getting my ass kicked on a daily basis until I improve my own skills to be among the elite fighting gamers. lol.

All I need is a release date.

Another thing I don't understand about sony is when the PS2, as powerful as it is, can never make an arcade perfect version of any SNK game. Compared to the arcade versions the PS2 versions always suck. Hell, dreamcast always makes the best non Neo-Geo versions of the games. But when there's not a Neo-Geo machine within 100 or more miles of me (at least with any good games, I'm sick of finding an MVS that has "Bust a Move" in it and that's about it) that's all I have.

damn

you guys are lucky..
living in America will
secure you all copies of the games...

the thing is, i live in Europe,
and it wasn´t told ONE
word that these titles might come
out here.....

so i will have to find a way to get the games
and another way to make them
work on my Xbox,
without a chip......
