GamesIndustry.biz reported today that British technology company Imagination is set to deliver a new arcade board to SEGA, contributing to the Japanese publisher's next-generation arcade technology.


Imagination is no stranger to SEGA arcade cabinets: the company previously provided technology for the Dreamcast- and Naomi-based cabinets.

News of the new arcade technology came in SEGA's recent financial statements, and emphasizes the company's new focus on its profitable arcade business. SEGA's recent acquisition by arcade behemoth Sammy will only emphasize that business focus.

Along with the technology provided by Imagination, it is likely that SEGA will work on Sammy's Atomiswave arcade platform, which is similar to the Naomi board and features more-humble but cost-effective technology, in future development.

Most recently, SEGA has worked with Microsoft's Chihiro board, based on Xbox architecture.


NOTE: PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CURSE AT ME IF THIS HAS ALREADY BEEN POSTED, LIKE ALWAYS, I'M ALWAYS BEHIND ON FADS :help:

I hate to say this, but how is this related to SNK?

Sure, they've all got relations to Sammy and stuff but, what else?

I guess I'm taking a longshot, but since SNK & SEGA are both owned by SAMMY now, I figured I could throw it into this cateogory :loco:

If any admins read this, please move the thread where you find it most appropiate :help:

SNK is not OWNED by Sammy, they're merely developing software for Sammy's Atomiswave hardware. At least that's my understanding of it.
