Crappy SNKP and their mobile nonsense.

I'm not really sure what you were expecting here? a new full retail release? a brand new game? a giant kyo pinata?


you know what i'm happy to celebrate here? the fact that they haven't closed their doors for business yet. I'm happy that a company I grew up with still exists, even in a dying market.

As has been mentioned... what did everyone expect?

Even acknowledging it at all is kind of incredible. It's not like they were going to release a new KOF or announce the surprise reopening of Neo Geo World. The fact that the damn company is growing and not completely bankrupt is good enough for me. :)

of course no new kof or something but a cool shirt collection or other merchandising/ collectables would have been much better than a price drop of moblie crap!

So, this is what we get for the kof 20th anniversary. All of SNK's apps have been dropped to 99 cents. This is fuckin' sad if this all they're doing for the anniversary.

Quite.

Mobile gaming is their "thing" now. Good for those who like that sort of stuff but a tragedy for all of us KoF fans. I'm into the series almost since day one and it kinda hurts to see this anniversary go by without a proper release on a real gaming system.

I want a new Dream Match with a mix of engines of KoF2k1 and 2k2 and a large roster.

Who isn't jaded at this point? Though I'm still holding a glimmer of hope for something in the future (non-pachinko, non-mobile app)

what if we got a new game? would the cost of development be justified or returned? I doubt it. There's a fuck-ton more street fighter fans out there than us. I don't own any of the mobile stuff because I don't like virtual controls, but if making those is what's keeping them alive right now, then more power to 'em. I'll go play 98 on the mvs anyway.

I'm not sure how you can even continue to expect a new non-pachislot, non-mobile game at this point.
