Looks like their mobile gaming division is allowing them to rake in some dough.

Yeah, I agree. Got to go where the money is and I don't think SNKP is set up to compete on the consoles with AAA titles.
My opinion of what's best for the company would be to keep doing mobile games adapting to the popular genres and do HD remasters for the download services for the home consoles.
Sure, I would rather see some triple A games for the latest machines but I don't think it's gonna happen. If they can turn a nice profit for a few years and grow the company again then you never know what could happen in the future.
I agree doing some more mobile games isn't the worst idea, but haven't they beaten a dead horse with all the IP Re-releases? I'm pretty sure Metal Slug and King Of Fighters are a bit overdone...
umm, yes and no. KOF02UM doesn't have enough re-releases. I'm hoping the Steam version will be good.
Yeah they really need to bring those over to PS3
They're already on 360, no PS3? XB Live just had a big SNK sale, everything was pretty cheap.
They can make even more money if they're willing to collect royalties from Neobitz and NGDEV just to let them use Neo-Geo logos on AES and MVS games.
well, maybe the "P" in "SNKP" is not only for "ports" but also for "portable"?
Whatever, I agree, a new console game would be nice...
This.
And maybe a revised NGPC? (Preferably with backlight)
That will never, ever, ever, ever happen. Aside from an already incredible amount of competition from hardware manufacturers across all platforms of video games, the company simply doesn't have the money or resources to do it, nor the consumer demand necessary to sell their product even if they were to make it.
They could always employ a third party for it, but I think the Neo-Geo X experience has curbed any enthusiasm they would have otherwise had.
SNKP is sticking strictly with software development outside of whatever pachinko and slot machines they release.
.but a nigga can dream.
This. If SNK were to release a NGPC2, they would go bankrupt. The amount of money and people needed to develop a console is completely out of SNK's reach. The CPU alone, to develop, it would cost around $100M to $500M alone.
