SNK games on XBox?

[XxPrOdiGyxX]

I just wanted to know if there were any plans to have SNK games on the xbox...or at the very least capcom vs. snk games.

No. It will never happen. There isn't a chance in hell, seriously.

You know that every single Neo Geo game ever made could fit on one DVD and still have plenty of space left over. That would be a kick. I think that SONY is more likely to do this since they had ports of Metal Slug on the PSX. Sega would do it I think. They had most of the ports on the Saturn and Dreamcast systems. This is just speculation though.

 

[ashram]

actually, sony or sega have nothing to do with it, it's up to whoever has the snk licences.

Do you really want to play SNK games with that pad?!?

The Japanese pads were alright though, fits nicely to the palm, compared to that big, fat, ugly 'original' controllers.

SNK games on XBOX? No chance in hell. XBOX is for 3D games only, SNK games should always be ported to DC (best 2D system), or at the worst, to PS2.

Actually XBox's 2D capabilities are FAR beyond that of all the next gen consoles, DC included. I mean, hell it can run all the Neo and CPS2 games on MAME, which reportedly some developer hacked to run on XBOX. Personally, I'd pay good money for a disc like that for XBox or PS2.

You twat, so a system sucks just because it's pad are no good for fighters? You should NEVER use a systems pad for fighters, you always need a custom made stick, or at least a console arcade stick.

BTW the XBOX controller S is the best damn controller i've ever used, it's actually decent for fighters (DOA3), it's button layout is the same as dreamcasts pad, only smaller and better on your hands.

There are some 2-D games already in Japan for it, this new resturaunt RPG and shikigami no shiro is part 2D shooter. And yes XBOX will be running mame in the near future, once the mods come out. Someone already got mame running on it.

When you think about it, a developer like capcom for example could have a game load all the character animations into the HDD the first time you play it, and after that point there would be 0 loads (like a cart game). Dual channels of 64MB DDR Ram isn't to bad either

Playmore is releasing POS2 and DC SNK games, theres no reason they cant release GC and XBOX games.

XBox controller is shit...

New ones, smaller, are better.

I think if a Japanese developer decides to put an SNK game (licensed from Playmore I guess) on the X-Box, Microsoft would welcome it with open arms, since the system is selling like shit sandwhiches in Japan. Nothing like getting a big name game (or, at least a recognizable one) on a system to seel a few more systems.

I for one think the X-Box is ass because, it only has 2 games I think are worth playing (Halo and DOA 3). Would it have been worth $300 for those 2 games? No. $200 for those 2 games... maybe. I don't get mush more use out of my Game Cube.

As unfortunate as it is, the only highly likely place for SNK games to appear is PS2, since it has a huge user base and SHOULD have the capability to do 2D games. With 24 MB RAM you would expect one big load time and a few little loads, but, as we all know, it'll probably end up being a bunch of long ass load times and crappy grphics with dropped frames of animation. Such is the life of a port.

Won't happen. Playmore realizes the Xbox is shit, that it will always be shit, and that it will never amount to anything. Seriously though the only thing holding Playmore back besides interest peiod is nothing. They can port one of the PC versions of the game to the Xbox by simply changing some code. If you got a PS2 and Linux you could download MAME and the ROM now...

 

[EssenceK]

If Playmore wanted to...

They could release an SNK collection in various chapters... ala Capcom Generations.

If they port it for XBOX, maybe license an emulator (can't be from the MAME folks, legally, anyway) - it would be a cinch. Slap some official art galleries on there or something - the vast majority of titles (not all, like some of the latter releases) wouldn't have to be ported at all!

EASY MONEY, PLAYMORE!

(Crosses Fingers...)

I just dont want to ever see my beloved SNK games on the X-box..that pile of rubbish. Just my honest opinion <img src="graemlins/loco.gif" border="0" alt="[Loco]" />

LOL, I'm glad you know exactly what Playmore thinks. The only thing that NEVER ammounted to anything was the Neogeo, if playmore wanted to make actual money, and not just make their money back, they'd release as many of their games on the XBOX, and other systems as possible.

Like eminem says about techno "No one plays neogeo!"

The Dreamcast is dead as a doornail the world over, and Playmore is releasing KOF 2000 this late, you think their gonna sell that many? Hell no, they'd sell more on the PS1.

Seriously the XBOX is the number 1 selling console in the USA, and it has the number 1 selling game in the USA (Morrowmind), your right, it never ammounted to anything.

What a stupidass. Tell your father NSX-T I said hi.

I'm not sure you read your news article correctly Drift King. It may have been the Best Selling Console of THIS week, but I am in extreme doubt that the X-Box has a higher installed base than the PS2 (granted, a year lead time will do that for you). I'm sure if you look at the numbers, PS2 is still number 1 for total sales. And Morrowind is probably only the best selling game of THIS week. Being a brand new game on a system with not that many good games will do that for you.And before you start flaming me, I'm only stating the facts. I own a PS2 and am not that enthused about owning it. It's got some great games, but it sits around and collects dust a lot. The only reason my borhter's X-Box doesn't collect dust is 'cause my father loves the Halo.

And the truth about the X-Box is even worse in Japan.

The fact that Playmore is making a game for the DC just shows how stupid they can be. Of course, according to the numbers that matter to them (the Japanese sales numbers), a DC game probably sells better than an X-Box game. THAT'S why you'll never see SNK games on the X-Box. X-Box has a lot of work to do in Japan and Playmore probably won't do shit for the system if Microsoft doesn't either BUY them, like they do everyone else, or start selling more systems. I, personally, don't see EITHER of those things takng place, thus, NO SNK for the X-Box.

Did you ever see the news article where in Japan they held a national Halo tournament? SIXTEEN people showed up to the "all day" event!

Microsoft is in trouble in Japan, Europe and Australia. They seem to be doing pretty well for themselves... in America anyway.

I'm glad I know exactly what Playmore is thinking also. It wouldn't be possible without Miss Cleo though. They wouldn't make more money releasing games on the Xbox. It can't even out sale the freaking Wonder Swan in Japan.

They will make more than they would with the Xbox since more peole have Dreamcasts...And the PSX game wouldn't be that good now would it?

Xbox number 1 selling system? I don't keep up with weekly hardware sales. What's the use GBA and PS2 are always on top. And if this is so why didn't I hear anything about it? All I hear is the Xbox is going to be good...

Arcade games are DIFFERENT than home games. You cant just port a straight arcade game over and have it sell remotely well. The arcade games are way to short. People who play home games want the game to be longer than 30 Mins to beat. To put a Neo Geo greatest hits disk together would be a copyright nightmare.

PS The Xbox doesnt suck. It seems it only sucks when people that dont have one talk.

Fanboys "I love my PS2 and I would never buy an Xbox cause it sucks!, but Halo is ok"
