I've been weary about SNK since 2015 when a Chinese company took over majority ownership.

Will the graphics be built from the ground up or continue the same old style? The same attention to detail won't be there.

We're all chasing that dragon.

Another metal slug fine long as it's not a cut&paste job like MS4 was.

Mobile game teaser:


Saw it earlier and that Matrix shit got me worried. Glad it turned out to be the mobile game.

According to the article, the mobile game from Tencent is in addition to the other mobile game and the proper run-n-gun. There are technically 3 in development.

My spidey senses tell me it'll be 2.5D. 3D graphics stylized to resemble 2D MS but still have a new, shiny look while playing on a 2D plane.

They did mostly great with KOF 14 and knocked it out of the park for Samurai Shodown, so I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt on this.

My expectation is that it would be on the same level of SS2019. ie: artistically good and faithful to the original's style, but technically looks cheap / low budget.

I have faith in them continuing to improve, though, seeing the progress they made with each of the post-OG SNK 2D KOF's (kof2k2 -> kof13).

If the new games aren't on the original Neo Geo then who cares? SNK should make some new games for Neo Geo.

I read an interview with SNK maybe 8 years back where they said they would never make another game for the system because of piracy. NGDevteam seems to have a pretty good anti-piracy system now so I feel it's time for SNK to come back with some new games on the real system.

Sounds like a path back to bankruptcy.

it is a bit delusional to think SNK would consider making games for AES or MVS these days. Come on my guy

I just don't care about the new games they make. And Shenmue 3 finally got made. So that means anything is possible. If enough people asked for it they would do it.

Shenmue 3 despite living rent free on the fans and Yu Suzuki's minds for the past two decades is a pretty damn souless game, and instead of abridging the story to be able to conclude it in a satisfying manner, he decided to stick to his guns and have 3 go nowhere with the story and end with a cliffhanger while answering almost no loose threads from the first two games.

It pains to admit it but Shenmue 3 showed that Yu Suzuki is a pretty poor storyteller, and I'd wager Shen 1 and 2 has good pacing solely because of other people at Sega that probably forced his hand (Shen 2 covering much more of the planned story than 1 is good evidence of that).

What was the thread about? Oh, Metal Slug. Yeah it's gonna suck even if on MVS.

For a mobile game this actually looks way better than I expected. The gameplay is going to suck, because touchscreens are the worst, but it actually looks pretty good.

I agree hope it gets a Switch/PS4 port with better controls

I predictably didn't buy Shenmue 3 because it wasn't on Dreamcast. This shows what happens when you don't make games on original hardware :)

I'll probably sell off my AES copies once this comes out. Looks like a cool remaster and I won't have to drag my PVM into the bathroom to play while I take a shit
