Updated SNK history page on japanese corp site

[BlackaneseNiNjA]

There is an updated history feature on the japanese SNK corporate site for those interested. The page contains a lot of interesting bits of information. Much is likely known to many here, but there may be something in here that manages to surprise you along with the art and promo photography.

There is also a nice presence for the game and multimedia project that was the Garou Densetsu series. Mai Shiranui's proto "male Ninja Master" design sketch is present along with some nice photographs of Neo Geo Land. Additionally, there is some cool information regarding how there were some interesting name changes in MotW including the naming of Terry's famous Buster Wolf, which was the "God Geyser":

B. Jenet was Beauty Jenet
Hokutomaru (north star) was Sarumaru (monkey)
Kevin was Iron Linch(?)

It was interesting but a hard read through google translate....

Thanks again BNJ.

Hehe, 2004... I like honesty. Anyway, seems that they're serious about their comeback. What changed their minds? Yahoo Auction prices?

Nice, months ago during the making of the book, we asked SNK to dig some more pictures of NeoGeo Land.
I see now, they eventually they used them to update the history page...very good! Nice catch Blackanese Ninja, thanks for posting!

This was fun to look at. But, as Montatez said, Google translate made it a tough read.
