Aruze appears to have no plans to discontinue their arcade development (after all, that is what they bought SNK for in the first place) and several new titles have been confirmed: Ghost Lop, Neo Turf Golf, Mark of the Wolves 2 and Metal Slug 4. Apple Systems, the U.S. distributor for SNK arcades, has confirmed that some or all of these titles will be released in the United States.
What a load of crap.</strong><hr></blockquote>
Ghost Lop was featured from back in 1996 in Neo Geo Freak magazine. Seriously - it could be a very good game. But it's a puzzle game. SNK made a shitload of Puzzle Games that they never put into final production. I guess they are all the same kind of. After Aruze took over we got a lot of crap, I mean proto games, that SNK on its own would never have released, like Zupapa, NitD, Ganryu...
If Aruze were still pushing the buttons, we'd have MVS releases of Ghostlop, Pair Pair Wars, Fun Fun Bros, Warlock of the Fates, Brikenger, and more. Aruze didn't care if the game was a finished product or not. Just push the fucking things out.
