[OrochiEddie]

this will clearly do....nothing

 

[Professor Denim]

i think they will support MVS again. Starting with a MVS version of In the Hunt.

 

[NeoCverA]

His first order of business is track down all of the MVS carts illegally sold to non-arcade operators. Scratch your serials NOW!

You have to love his priorities, any PR statement would've been carefully constructed and vetted... so this continues the SNK legacy in semi-legal gambling:

As you know SNK has strong Intellectual Properties that will continue to be used in the Pachinko-Slot machine business and Video Game business. In addition, SNK will ramp up all current projects for the new growing stage and I promise to do my best with vigorous dedication.

In addition, I am disappointed that there was no explicit mention of witch-touching.

Short of some major inflow of ideas, I'm neutral on this.

 

[Giancana]

The king is dead, long live the king!

 

[Oresama]

I hope he doesn't manage to screw up the Pachislo business. SNKP makes seriously awesome Pachislo units.

 

[Ruell]

Ahs well. Things will probably go unchanged.

I accuse SNK of trying to steal the spotlight from the American presidential election!

We didn't make any crazy announcements when they were about to elect Aso the President of the LDP.

I'd love to see the ol' MVS re-instated. Especially with SF IV coming out, there could be a revival of old school 2d brawlers.

 

[Fran]

E. Kawasaki was the man..

Well, Capcom didn't exactly break out the CPS1 to do so.

 

[Angel]

yeah but still, it would be awesome to see something like having an Xbox 360 arcade release and have a special order limited cart release.

Aw shit get me a fucking spatula!!!!! *scratching*

I'm not betting on it, but it would be cool if this new Prez derailed SNKs bullet train to Faggotville if nothing else.

There was a time when SNK was all that is cool with Japan (karatekas, samurai, ninjas with/without huge tits). It would be great if they got back to the basics.


No more upskirt shots of children in my KOF ok? Thanx.

You might want to blame the current popular anime trends in Japan for that since loli fanservice is in.

I know, what ever happened to ninjas?! Now they look like a bunch of scoundrells, I blame Naruto, more like Chavo del Ocho if you ask me.

Fucking word!

I miss the days when an SNK badass looked like this or this.

Now it's just this.

They say it hits stateside "this winter"...have they narrowed it down to a month at least?


I wanna play SS6 already Jesus Christ.

Awesome. I completely buy into this party line:

We demand that ninjas be, uh, "manned up"!

Soichiro Hosoya, the ball is in your court.

 

[riskVSreward]

Bring back MVS support!!!!!! Start making new Neo fighters, I can't think of anything else that would sate me nerdly desires.

Would plunk down $1,000 for Garou 2 MVS, so someone tell him to get on it.

 

[rarehero]

i think they should make some new arcade hardware.
call it the NEO-GEO 2.
and have the carts twice as big plus with audio from laserdiscs.
it'll be bigger badder better.
