I see that they have just Tweeted this: "Some one we know just acquired and incredible Neo Geo Game! Holy crap!". I'll try not to get carried away though as they tend to overblow these things. Its probably Neotris or summat...

They can never just, y'know, name the fucking game when they make these announcements can they?

Yes its really annoying. We had to wait MONTHS the last time before we found out it was some homebrew titles we already knew about from years ago. I'm sure all the speculation will be the usual Pinball Fantasia, Eye of Typhoon etc... but its probably nothing exciting.

OK, OK I said I wouldn't get carried away but... Piko seem to have acquired some Unico games recently. For those that do not know, Unico are a South Korean developer who produced some Street Fighter 2 rip offs back in the day. There is a SLIGHT chance that this could be something to do with Eye of the Typhoon. I say that because, I would imagine some of the Unico employees also worked at Viccom at some stage. If you look at Unico's game "Dragon Master", it looks very much like Fight Fever & Eye of the Typhoon.

Find a proto? cool, release it like NTM did with Dragon's Heaven. Don't hoard it, don't hype people for months with fuckall to show for it.

Unless it was something near complete, I wouldn't expect anything earth shattering.
I agree it's likely something puzzle related. Which is not terrible news , but I'm not expecting something massive.

I'll take that bet. Can I pm you our paypal?

Anybody else?

Sure. I will gladly do that.... If you tell me what proto Neo game you have in your possession after payment (If I am not right about the puzzle game). I will gladly burn $20 just to get a real awnser and end this unnecessary dangling carrot act.

Hopefully it's not some garbage homebrew that some guy in the mid 2000's whipped up in his basement.

haha keep your money for now NexuX,

I promised the creators to hold the announcements for a bit while they arrange some things internally.

But I can assure these things:

1.- It is NOT a Puzzle game.
2.- It is NOT a Prototype.
3.- It is NOT a Hombrew/inde game.

Judging by the quality of other Piko Interactive releases, I wouldn’t expect much.

Hmm... let's see:

We have access to the Visco stuff but so far, we don't see eye to eye in cost of IP. May be in the future. There is other NG game we can acquire but I need to drop serious amount of cash. Also, may be in the future.

The future is now, right? Maybe not... then maybe it's a bass fishing game?

If it's an official former release, then I hope it's a re-release of a game that is near impossible/far too expensive to get a hold of; Kizuna Encounter, Ninja Master's, Real Bout Fatal Fury 2, The King of Fighters 2000, Last Resort, Neo Turf Masters, Sengoku 3, etc.

Please offer reversible Euro/Dog Tag Style Insert, clam shell style cases with a slipcover inspired by old-school Neo-Geo AES cardboard game boxes; kinda like those VHS style slipcovers found on some Blu-ray movies.
