I haven't played many SNK games, but it warms my heart to see a prodigal son return. Fingers crossed that Konami's pachinko business starts to deteriorate as well.
No, a Chinese company (Leyou Technologies) bought SNK Playmore.wtf really? i thought playmore is a chinese company?
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.

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.
I wonder if we will ever get a new Metal Slug game, at least a collection of all the previous games on PS4/PC/X1 would be nice
I love that franchise and Metal Slug 3 is one of my favorite games ever since I was a kid
HNNNNGGGGGGCall Ono. It's time.
Same here, SNK 4life!Always called them SNK, even back then.
Not according to some PAX impressions for the new KOF I saw on Twitter...
As if anyone called them SNK Playmore anyway.
SNK fo lyfe

What's this now?
Really? I can understand those less familiar with SNK having such views, but not the enthusiasts on N-G.com.I remember in the early Playmore days, there was this HUGE misconception that Playmore was just new fledgling company who had absolutely no relation to the old SNK besides a couple old staff members and was trying to cash in on SNK properties. I remember the stigma on the Neo-Geo community where they were seen as this greedy company who just wanted to make a quick buck by raping the corpse of the old SNK, but then G4 came out with their great Icons episode on SNK which shed a lot of light on the situation. Between that and really solid games like KOF XI, I noticed most of the "crapmore" complaints really died down.
Lots of famous KOF vets appeared in recent SFV tournaments. Once KOF14 comes out, we can see them dumping SFV and returning to the series.Oh shit!!! It's on now!
Street Fighter is floundering a bit atm... Perfect time for an OG like SNK to start regulatin'. Capcom needs a kick in the pants.

Theyll dive back to usf4 when it gets into evo 17 :vLots of famous KOF vets appeared in recent SFV tournaments. Once KOF14 comes out, we can see them dumping SFV and returning to the series.
YEEEEESSSS!
Remember that farewell wallpaper? Now it can be seen as welcome back!!!
Welcome back, SNK
SNK 4Vita
They must've gotten tired of being mixed up with Attack on Titan and rightfully taking their acronym back.
What if they launch a new console in the next years e this would be the last bastion of japanese gaming ?
I mean, a console with all the japanes third parties on board.
Call Ono. It's time.
Street Fighter 5 is faltering. Resident Evil and Monster Hunter are doing fine.
Don't jinx it.
Capcom couldn't even fund Street Fighter V. Besides, they'll most probably mess this up. I'll take SNK vs. Capcom 2 instead.Call Ono. It's time.
Beyonce crying: Orochi is real.Is there an explanation for this?
