I dont know about a LB3, LB2 seemed so final, as in the last chapter. MOTW2 would make perfect sense.

SNk will be on its own in no time, once it hits mass market. Ever notice how there console conversions always sell well.

What ya think if Namco made SNK games?
Sam Sho, LB, MOTW and KOF Soul Calibur 3D style with a back push to block instead of a block button to block.

It'd be cool, but to be honest I think having a passive block AND a seperate guard button would be needed for Samurai Shodown and Last Blade given the various kinds of parrying, deflecting, weapon breaking, etc. that's possible in those games.

This is OT, Illicious, but have you ever played Weaponlord? It was this 2D fighter Namco made that is basically Soul Edge/Calibur only in a 2D fighting game. it was helluva fun and they hired the guy who did the ingame sprites for the SF2 games to do the graphics for it.

Edit...

As for Last Blade 2 being the last chapter, there's plenty of opening for new bosses and characters to come in. And besides, just because it seemed final doesn't mean anything. Remember how The King of Fighters: Dreammatch 1999 was going to be the LAST port of a Neo Geo game ever? How KoF: Evolution was then going to be the last SNK game ever made? How Last Blade Final Edition was? How Garou just got announce to come out late this summer now?

I don't know what I find more exciting: the announcement of those games or the announcement of more Capcom and SNK games for the DC (thats almost my entire DC line-up anyway)!

Seriously,
I don't think which system these games come out for is as important as them actually coming out. Admittedly, it'd be nice if they did release them on SNK hardware for all the loyal Neo fans but honestly if that lists of games came out for the Saturn I'd find myself one to buy so I could play them.

Hopefully if Capcom is going to be backing SNK they can give them the security they'll need to produce more games (sequels and original titles). So does this mean that the next CvS sequel will be Capcom vs. ... Capcom? j/k

That's the ironic part, in a way Capcom is like SNK's bitch now, going around distributing their stuff for them.

I don't know if it's good. It's better than nothing, that's for sure. I'll be very happy if all the games mentioned become reality, but... Capcom? When Capcom themselves already stated they were going to have less of a presence in arcades? Hmm... there's some bad politics involved here in company mergers, but I can't get into it right now. Let's just say it's not all good news.

That's the thing though, this isn't a merger, just a distribution deal. If you consider this a merger than Nintendo, Sega, Tiger, Bandai, Capcom, Namco, Square, Taito, Microsoft, Technos, Konami, and Data East are all one conglomerate.

Also, who cares about Capcom pulling out of the arcade market? Arcades suck these days anyway. They make 60% of their money off of home system games to begin with, so I don't really care how many KoF2K1 cabinets I hear about people seeing in Chinatown, I'd rather be playing Last Blade 3, the LONG awaited to be released Samurai Shodown 5, etc. on my Dreamcast.

Exactly what I am scared of, I mean seeing capcom huging all the credit when the games come out will be quite annoying. Something dodgy is about to happen over there.

This is FANTASTIC news.

SNK, provided the bankruptcy rehabilitation works out, gets to keep all its stuff and continue making games.

Capcom is basically PAYING for SNK's games to get mass distribution and publicity.

Is it just me or does SNK suddenly own Capcom in a behind the scenes kind of way?

Geese Howard couldn't have planned this better himself.

But Neo Rasa,Capcom is not doing that for nothing or for free "Let's help our friends from SNK!!"...she wants something,and she wanting SNK!!!Capcom will try swallow SNK in this "Help" process.And that's a big huge problem.At least for me.I don't wanna see SNK under the control of Capcom.I saw the damage that Capcom can do with SNK characters in their death hands(Capcom versus SNK,pro's or the disturbing tiltle "millionaire fighting's" of life).Damn it,i like SNK games,not Capcom games.
In your point of view,why Capcom is doing that?And please,explain that to me:
"EX-SNK employees won't benefit.Current ones will"
The SNK right's games are not involved in this "distribution deal",right?So,please explain why Capcom is "helping"!!

I think some of you read it wrong it says, SNK EMPLOYEES WON'T BENEFIT FROM IT, meaning SNK have no hand in it. Oh no.

That's no good.Not good at all.The end is near for SNK.In the next SNK games,for MVS,
we will see the word "Capcom" bigger than the word "SNK"(there are more MVS boards in this world than CPS1,CPS2 and CPS3 togheter).
And in a further future,we only will see the word "Capcom",even that the game is all produced and made by SNK people.THE FUTURE IS GONE.Those aren't good news at all.All the people who works with arcade fighting games will loose their jobs,here in Brazil,
Romstar of Brazil distributes,oficially both
Capcom and SNK games,and man,only SNK games
sells here,KOF domains all the year,Capcom games are nothing here,most people don't like it,and i can't blame the most,i too prefer much more SNK games than Capcom games,
and as a matter of fact,Capcom don't show nothing good from a long data,and her news games are for Naomi,and Naomi boards are
really expensive,we just see this games in Brazil(in the most)in Dreamcast's,and even in this way,this Capcom games don't sell/play
well.SNK knows well that her games sell way better than Capcom games in all over Latin america(SNK always put in the dialogues opition,the portuguese language),the SNK
president itself have already came/visit to Brazil lots of times,to see SNK investiments.
People will cry a lot here if SNK games falls into Capcom hands.Not to mention the arcade market.

Kamui, etc.: Yes, I know Capcom will benefit financially too, but it doesn't matter, because me, Yojimbo, and ImMature are around, so no matter who's name is on the game, EVERYONE is gonna know who started it all. >:)

As far as I'm concerened SNK was bankrupt, that meant no more MotW, SS, or KOF games. I don't care if Capcom, Pepsi, Microsoft or the Devil gave them the money, If there still making games, I'm happy. Even if they just realise one more game then dissapearin a big firey explosion, that will be one more game I get to play.
