Hello everyone,


Although I've been lurking here for the longest time, today I decided to register and all, because I wanted to thank massimiliano, Shawn and everyone else for the huge effort and nice work on the interview. Those pictures are really really neat, you guys almost made me cry (of happiness), haha.

I'll be looking forward to read the second part of the inverview :)

Again, thank you very much :D

Great read... kind of interesting to see the mention of a shooter now that we have KOF the Shooter.

I honestly felt like a sucker when we were laughing about it, but yeah "THE KING OF FIGHTERS - SKY STAGE" later on has been officially announced (the interview took place on 12/26/2008) and will probably see the light :eek:

Great job! The NGCD in the break room tickled me for some reason. Great to hear about Metal Slug too. Thanks for the article! :)

Awesome interview. So nice of them to recognize the fans and know we still care and want more. It sounds like if they could make more games they would which is a shame really.

Great article! :buttrock: I would love it if they released new games on the original Neo, which probably won't happen, but I'm glad to at least hear that they are still focused on actual arcade games. I was worried they would only do straight to home releases, like Slug 7 and maybe even do DLC games with watered down difficulty and overly long gameplay. Glad to see they are on the right track with classic 2D games released in the arcade first.

Great work, Massimiliano!!!

--I admit I was a little skeptical when you first announced your plan (just because I had a hunch it would take time and diligence to get the interview with SNK due to the language barrier, their conservative nature, etc), but I'm so happy this worked out well.

And thanks for getting this up, Shawn :)

We miss you :p

Nothing to add that has not already been said. Many thanks, Massimiliano!
As I understand, SNK PR Dept took 5 months to approve this interview for publishing?:eek:
