With me saccing over 1100 plus hours of my life to Phantasy Star Online, you'd better belive the system rocks.
KoF 2K on the thing is also probably the best SNK port ever done on a home console system to date.

The only system I cherish more than my DC is my SNES...

The Neo is alive because SNK kept it alive, the games still don't sell, but they release them anyways. Why do you think SNK went bankrupt? The barley made enough to break even all those years and it finally caught up with them, they hid from their debt by filing for bankrupcy and opening under a new name (what resturaunts do all the time).
The same thing will happen to them again if they don't make some major changes, in other words develop games for arcade boards that can make some serious cash, MVS games don't make money. KOF games might make a little, but that's the only title that does.

the Dreamcast is such a great system, i got mine Xmas '99 and sonic adventure, wow... totally amazing. I hate the PS2 with a passion, i mean it's been out 18 months now and there are what, 10 killer apps?
the dreamcast had more than that in it's first YEAR!!!
mainstream stupidity just really pisses me off. the ps2 promised so much and hasn't delivered. there is still no modem, the dvd playback is poor, many ps1 games have trouble playing on the ps2 (this is in europe however it may be diff.in the us), and the general quality of the games is shockingly poor.
if there's one thing i can say about the Xbox, EVERYTHING they promised they delivered. That's being good to the consumer.
oh and yes, the KOF2K port is excellent, i played '99 after 2K, which i always thought was a good port, but i noticed how smaller the sprites seem to be, and the fact they have lots of jaggies, playmore seemes to have smoothed these out for 2K. '99 is still an excellent port though and well worth playing for what, 10 bucks?
i will support my DC to the end, i'm waiting for my ikaruga to come and will certainly be buying 2k1 on it's release.

You might want to read Nightmare Tony's post, Drift! Since he (i.e. Nightmare Tony) worked for SNK, I think he knows what he is talking about.
Drift King: I beg to differ quite drastically. The MVS system made SNk a TON of money and was very much the bread and butter of the company for many years. The older dedicated game setups like Touchdown Fever and Street Smart fell by the wayside, with only Beast Busters and Mechanized Attack still being regular earners.
The MVS is simply the world's best selling arcade game unit with over 1 million units sold worldwide. The software market for it is still huge with profit potential simply because unless a game is a true dog, an MVS title coming out WILL sell and make money, plain and simple.
the real beginning of the end for SNK was three-fold. The Neo Print which was a neat invention until others jumped in the market and saturated it, with the company being moved up north. Dumb move. The Neo-64 I also feel was a mistake, as the R & D took so long that the game system was already obsolete by the time it came out. far better to have simply did some software for the Naomi system and keep making MVS games.
Mr. Kawasaki was smart in selling off SNK when he saw the handwriting on th4e wall. Sadly, the new group that took over was completely inept in their dealings, causing the company to fold. Sigh.
The market is still strong for the MVS, though. The 3D fighting games have become vERY old hat and the 2D fighters which do come out for the MVS out earn them, by much better gameplay. plus the MVS is set for most any type of game, so it really does have a future.
Its all about making good games. <hr></blockquote>

Fran, I respect you, but don't throw a punch at me and not expect me to throw back.
