Probably something to do with why NB change their name often. Reorganisation and taxes

This is big news! 
This would make me immensely happy.Call Ono. It's time.
It's not likely going to happen, anyway. Not only because SNK and their Chinese partners are committed to redeveloping SNK's IPS again, but the last crossover benefitted Capcom more than it did SNK, and left SNK with a bad taste in their mouths.
I can't imagine SNK being in a rush to rekindle the relationship.

Growing up, I was strictly in the palms of Capcom. Barely touched SNK games simply due to their lack of accessibility. In 2012, I played Garou when it released on XBL and it only took me 10 minutes to realize I missed out on a lot.
Been trying to correct that ever since, so I really hope SNK does pull this together. I'd love to get more familiar with their stable.

I really like their new message. "The Future Is Now"
That hearkens back to a time when new console launches were associated with hopes and dreams of experiences that were never thought realistically possible before (at least not anytime soon).
So whatever they can do to try to inspire some of that excitement again, I support.
EDIT: Turns out their new message is the same as their old message from the 90s. No wonder it reminds me of that timeframe haha

Hype. Intensifies.
No thanks. I wouldn't mind a Capcom vs SNK 3, but I don't need Ono on that.
Especially since he needs to fucking finish Street 5 before anything else

This. I have only ever known them by one name.
Indeed, I occasionally forgot that it was the full name.

Hope this means good things from them. I miss old school SNK.

I always thought that in some ways, SNK kept Capcom in check for a while, at least through the 90s. The competition was great, which meant that the real winners were us, the consumers.
Welcome back SNK! Although, as a couple of people have already said, they have always been "SNK" to me. The aesthetic of KoF 2001 -- an otherwise good fighting game -- soured me on ever acknowledging the "Playmore" part.
Speaking of old school SNK, they've been re-hiring the old members of the KOF and Garou teams so yeah... get hype!
They also got Neo_G from Capcom so you know that they're working on more Fighting Games.

Does current SNK retain the majority of the 90s staff?

I guess this answers my question.

But they couldn't secure CPS_1's talents, as well? Another Capcpom fail.

Playmore didn't have anything to do with KOF 2001 though (in fact Playmore didn't exist until late in its development). It was published by Eolith and developed by Brezzasoft, which like Playmore is formed by former SNK employees (and Playmore eventually bought them out).
IIRC it was also made with 20% of the staff size of KOF 2000 and that explains the low budget look and feel of the game.
They've been rehiring guys but this is really the third iteration of SNK. They laid off most of the old SNK Playmore guys from the 00s after KOFXIII and the staff now that has been rehired is a mix of old SNK, SNKP and new guys apparently.Does current SNK retain the majority of the 90s staff?

I want Top Men on CvS3 ASAP. It's a fucking travesty that the best fighting game in the history of those things has yet to get a sequel.

Capcom vs SNK 3. Do it.
KOFXIV's 3d models are just the beginning!!!

I can't blame them too hard, CVS2 was a damn fine game. But I agree, it's not the time to clamour for crossover games. SNK needs to get some hits on it's own for a bit.
Give me a new Garou and Metal Slug first before we even consider the crossover shit again.
