Secret Santa Comes Early! Since tonight's the first night of Hanukkah, I've got a reasonable excuse to go ahead and open up my gift. This assortment of gifts comes courtesy of wyo_vr4. All I can say is WOW. Never before have I received such a "unique" assortment of gifts from a long-time...

My Secret Santa gave me a Princess Mononoke Blu-Ray, a trio of candy canes, and an awesome illustrated card to tie the whole thing together. I'm not 100% certain who my Secret Santa was (since they forgot to include their name on the card), but thanks for making my holiday season/Jackpot Month...

SOLD!

Most of us have heard the phrase, "Best dollar I've ever spent". That said, what real-life purchases have made you say the above phrase aloud? (Note: It doesn't have to be limited to $1; it can be any given amount; see examples below.) -Best $12.50: Getting to see Rifftrax Live: Sharknado last...

Many of us have a massive amount of DVDs, games, books, and so forth, that have been amassed over a number of years, yet some (or most) of the stuff continues to still on shelves or in boxes, unopened yet awaiting the day we'll watch, play, read or listen to it. So, what do you call your pile...

On July 7th, 1993, Samurai Shodown (or Samurai Spirits) was released in arcades. So, feel free to celebrate however you see fit. Share memories of your favorite Samurai Shodown moments (be they game-related or otherwise). I'll post my memories of the first time I encountered the series later...

An RPG-themed card game. http://game.snkplaymore.co.jp/official/destiny-of-the-dragon/ Destiny Of The Dragon. Coming soon to Japanese cell phones everywhere. Well... at least it's something original... the cards look nice... aaaaand I'm done trying to put a saner-esque positive spin on such a...

Let's take a look back at what SNK Playmore has released over the past year. Since the start of 2012, there have been: -6 games for the iPhone/Android (3 ports, 1 card game, 1 original IP and one scaled-down KOF XIII port) -19 Wii Virtual Console ports (zilch for PSN and XBLA) -4 Pachislot...

Now, I know Tommo, Inc. doesn't offer the option to pre-load your choice of games onto the Neo-Geo X (and they probably never will), but let's say, theoretically-speaking, you had the choice of any twenty Neo-Geo games to have pre-loaded onto your system. What would they be? My choices would...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KOKRbSGkug&feature=player_embedded The above video is from "Tamashii Nation 2011", which highlights Bandai's upcoming action figures. Egads! KOF merchandise that isn't a body pillow, gashapon or Queen's Gate book?! I'm all in favor of that. It's too soon to tell...

Man, I can't believe it's been one whole decade since I started posting here. Granted, I didn't join during the best of times (the original SNK closed up shop shortly after I had joined the forums and created my first posts). In fact, my first few posts were on various threads and contained my...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ok5cYMA5XGo Making new thread because saner only talks about KOF and rarely ventures outside News & Rumors (and to lure BBH out of hiding). Snide remark aside, Metal Slug 2, World Heroes, KOF '96 and (my personal favorite) Shock Troopers are coming to the Neo-Geo...
