It would be interesting to know how Eolith got involved with KOF. I assume SNK just weren't really able to make the games themselves those years, but there was still a huge demand for them so there were connections with Korea, and somehow someone got the two parties connected. I wonder if Eolith would have had to contract the staff members in Japan directly themselves. I would think it was really the publishing duties that were outsourced to Korea -- You can see that the MVS carts for 2001 and 2002 are non-standard, though 2002 is marked as made in Japan.
If I were a company in Korea trying to make a new game in an existing series, then it would make sense to just hire the existing people who worked on it previously, as long as they're available. That's not what Mega did with Metal Slug 4.
