[jonaa]

There it is!

 

[Dio]

 

[liquidtmd]

As if anyone called them SNK Playmore anyway.

SNK fo lyfe

 

[Easy_D]

They're going all in aren't they? But they still gotta bring back Garou to prove their sincerity.

 

[Finaika]

Holy shit!

 

[Megawarrior]

Oh sheeeiit!!!

 

[CO_Andy]

make fighting games great again

 

[RyoonZ]

Steamy future or else

 

[Yaqoub]

SHIEEEEEEET

LET'S GO

 

[BAW]

FULL CIRCLE BABY

 

[Mivey]

A better motto would have been: Back to the Future. Probably copyrighted or trademarked, but would have been worth it.

 

[GavinGT]

Bring on the Neo-Neo Geo.

Speaking of which, where was the original Geo?

 

[NinjamicWZ]

Metal Slug Anthology XXX plz.

The king has returned...in name form,now give us the old SNK in game form

 

[chaobreaker]

Call Ono. It's time.

I hope KOFXIV is both great and a success so that we see more SNK goodness.

What a bizarre world where Capcom is faltering and SNK is rising.

Street Fighter 5 is faltering. Resident Evil and Monster Hunter are doing fine.

Edit: and yeah I was talking strictly about their fighting games.

 

[DownGrader]

What the fuck was Playmore?

 

[Mengetsu]

I feel like I'm witnesing history...Feels good.

 

[Skunkers]

The King has returned.

 

[Rymuth]

 

[TheRedSnifit]

What the fuck was Playmore?

The company that bought SNK.

 

[Flopfan]

All hail SNK.

 

[Gren]

So I guess whatever legalities prompted them to take on the SNKP name have expired by now? What I love most is the return of the "new" old motto.

Who could've foretold that this is where they'd be after the Chinese backer announcement was made?

 

[chaobreaker]

And all this thanks to those stricter pachinko laws.

The King has returned.

heh.

 

[Scotia]

Call Ono. It's time.

Oh God yes

 

[Qvoth]

literally a full circle
did playmore sell their shares back or what? why wouldn't they wanna keep their name?

 

[DownGrader]

The company that bought SNK.

Well, I've just realized that Playmore, whatever it is, never had any sort of legacy for me. It's definitely not like Bandai Namco or Activision Blizzard.

Now all we need is Nintendo changing their logo to red (and yes, I know NoA is kinda doing it).

 

[JordanKZ]

Call Ono. It's time.

.

I want this more than anything...!

 

[Devilgunman]

Super Neo Geo here we go.

 

[tribal24]

Call Ono. It's time.

Street Fighter 5 is faltering. Resident Evil and Monster Hunter are doing fine.

YASSS!!! lets go!

 

[Shadow Ranger]

Good luck! Looking forward to KOF and whatever else lies in wait. CvS3 chances could be better now! (What I would've given for KOFXIII looking CvS)

 

[Salty Rice]

The beginning of a new era for SNK.

The King has returned indeed.

 

[Krammy]

I really thought it was all hot air when the Chinese company that bought them tried to make SNK out to be this huge juggernaut, but it seems they're pretty serious. I'm very excited to see where things go post-King of Fighters XIV.

 

[Cynn]

Perfection!

 

[Xater]

Not according to some PAX impressions for the new KOF I saw on Twitter...

 

[thetrin]

I hope the new SNK branches out into single player/co-op content as well. Love me some Metal Slug and Sengoku.

 

[AmyS]

Return of the Kings. Year of the Neo

 

[Kain]

Garou pls

 

[TheRedSnifit]

Playmore is weird. SNK's IPs went up for bid after they went bankrupt, so their CEO simply created another company (Playmore), bought the IPs, went around hiring up most of their former employees, and then renamed it SNK Playmore. It's essentially the same company.

 

[Mockingbird]

YEEEEESSSS!

Remember that farewell wallpaper? Now it can be seen as welcome back!!!

 

[dreamcastmaster]

YES YES YES!

 

[Augemitbutter]

next kof will be glorious. it's in the logo.

YEEEEESSSS!

Remember that farewell wallpaper? Now it can be seen as welcome back!!!

i remember.

 

[Feichaw]

Welcome back!

Huh... That's honestly weird. I was always under an assumption that Playmore was another game company or just a corporation with enough money and interest in SNK.

 

[zerokoolpsx]

Always called them SNK, even back then.

wtf really? i thought playmore is a chinese company?

 

[Acosta]

I know it´s stupid, but I can't help to feel happy about it.

It´s really nice seeing a classic company trying to recover its past.
