SNK Playmore officially changes his name to SNK

The chances of Samurai Shodown 7 being their next project are high but yeah, either way their next game most likely won't be a KOF.

It would be nice if they made something other than a fighting game again.

Didn't Neo_G said that he went over to SNK to make an action game?
 
Good. Now we need SquareEnix to change their name to Square since these 2 are the names everyone called them anyway =P

Except that was a merger and Enix was the stronger company going into it.

They also didn't have thier IPs degrade like Square did in the merger so let's just forget about Square and call them Enix from now on.
 
A return to the glory days also means more titles than KOF spin offs.

looking forward to a new:

Metal Slug
Samurai Shodown
Fatal Fury (Garou)
Art of Fighting
Ikari Warriors
Aero Fighting
Psycho Soldiers
Last Blade
SNK Vs. Capcom

...and the list goes on

Maybe its only me, but I really would like them to do something that's original and not a sequel.

I'm so happy for them. SNK "coming back" seemed as impossible as Shenmue 3 and yet here we are.

Means as much as Blast Processing

More arguments in favor of a fitting partnership or crossover with Sega, to further separate the ages of the company - looking forward with the day that justifies the creation of a "friendship ended with Capcom, Sega is my new best friend" image.
 
Are they going to bring back "Hyaku (100) Mega Shock" tag line as well?
They should update it to "Hyaku Giga Shock" to keep up with times...
 
I was recently inspired to look through some of the old SNK games. Can someone make a thread about some of the amazing sprites that we got on the Neo Geo and some of the underappreciated games?

When the time comes to discuss fighting games, we often hear about fatal fury, the last blade and KOF, but I rarely see anyone talking about Power Instinct or Rage of The Dragons. Those were some really fun games!

Power Instinct is an Atlus series and IP.

I forget about Rage of the Dragons because the then Playmore only published and distributed it. Game was made by a few different companies.
 
I love SNK. I grew up with their titles and I honestly prefer the King of Fighters over every other fighting series out there. May SNK last forever!
 
The good thing is that by all the hints that SNK has thrown, this is the first year that we could actually say "SNK will launch MOTW 2" without sounding like a deluded fanboy (or that much at least)
 
The new SNK is so cool.

I just bought Garou MOTW and it gives you a free theme on PS4 and Vita, just like Last Blade 2. I've also snagged the KOF 2000 and Metal Slug 3 themes for free without buying those games.

They have been giving away a lot of free themes for KOF 14, too. Every region seems to have a slightly different selection but I have about 10 KOF 14 themes now from various PSN accounts.

Most lovely of all is the free classic costume DLC, like the surprise Athena costume we just got.

Capcom is all too happy to charge $4 for their upcoming classic costumes.

SNK managed to put out a complete game with 50 characters. And they are improving the graphics way after release! SFV still has those terrible dithered shadows on PS4. SNK is also giving us a bunch of new colors for free, on top of the 4 for each character we already have, and NONE of them have to be unlocked through some tedious, shitty single player mode.

Every once in a while there are threads about Metal Slug sprites and fighting game backgrounds which cover a lot of SNK material.
 
looking forward to a new:

Metal Slug
Samurai Shodown
Fatal Fury (Garou)
Art of Fighting
Aero Fighting
Last Blade
SNK Vs. Capcom
 
Regardless of the low res sprites, they should just go back and complete Garou 2 now instead of working from scratch in 3D.

Yatagarasu especially and not counting the anime games show there is still a desire for sprite work when it comes to fighting games.

Of course I'm just talking about the fgc.
 
"his" name. This bothers me. Lol

yeah, like someone said before lots of SNK fans like myself are from south america, or asia, and I always forget that non-persons should use its instead of his. if a mod could change it, I will appreciate it

Problem with this is that the game will be more niche than already it is, also I have the feeling that the newer sprites will look compared to the original ones
