I thought most of that staff was reimplemented to work on games? Hm well that might still be the reason.

Just have to let them do a lot of re-releases of their old catalog on current gen/Steam, and leverage the ips and assets in more mobile games like Metal Slug did... let 'em stack money. Necessary evils.
But did KOFXIII sell well anywhere?

oops nevermind thenbut a new neo turf masters would still be awesome.
Same with a new baseball stars game
Baseball Stars 2 and Neo Turf Masters are two of my favorite Neo Geo games. I'd love to see them ported to PS4.
He looks like John Cena with white hair.
I don't know if he said that it could rival marvel, bu they used the example of that company as an dormant ip the grow a lot since disney acquisition.
I don't know in the rest of the world, but in China, SNK has all the tools to be big, and winning the chinese market isn't something minor.

Looking at this news, I'm looking forward to TGS this year.
Metal Slug 8 basically confirmed at this point?

Samsho first. Metal Slug is always a possibility though.Looking at this news, I'm looking forward to TGS this year.

Well they got bought so how would we even know if they meant that now?

Because we know 14 is in the making/planning for a while. Well before the buyout happened.
Why do you guys keep talking about MS8 and such. This is a company for farming out IPs for use, not for development.
Oh, and lets not forget that KoF MI actually sould quite well, also. If they release XIV with a smart first print edition (like how MI came with that Fatal Fury hat and making-of DVD), I could see it selling pretty well. (I still see people wearing that hat at basically every convention I attend or watch on stream...)
---
That well-dressed Geese looks like it's being shown for a pachislot style game or something... but it also looks like a model that could well be used in KoF XIV. That Alice design also looks like it could be character select screen art. Anyone know if that render of her is from any other previous work?
It also wouldn't be bad for SNKE to maybe help get some of the old SNK anime properly available on services like Crunchyroll or Netflix.

Beyond the lack of a US translation for the page yet, does this not support the idea that this arm will have better-than-usual US relations?

They had hiring ads for a new KOF since the end of 2013. That is also around when we first heard a rumor of a 50 characters roster as well actually.
The director of XIV confirmed that development of XIV started in April of 2014, well over a year prior to the acquisition.

People should stop referencing data that makes me feel uncomfortable because games get ported to platforms I don't like
I hope this means that they will make another Metal Slug soon because it's already been 6 years since we got Metal Slug XX over here in the US.
And no I'm not touching those mobile version or PC games because I want a new core Metal Slug game.

it looks like it's from this pachinko/slot game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0vXgJn8EUY
If so, I hope by then Crunchyrool does a decent job at providing its service in Europe - but hey, if SNK media reaches the US in a legitimate manner, half the battle is won.
Ha, I just watched that trailer like a day ago too. The Geese design is probably also directly from there. The fact that Alice shirt is kind of pinched in along her body (like almost all of KoF XIV's models) looked a bit different to me, but it probably really is just from that.
Aye, definitely. They've had some interesting classic stuff popping up over the past few months (from the Cat's Eye anime, to Samurai Pizza Cats to Fushigi Yuugi) that really hit the 90s-and-earlier era nostalgia button, so stuff like the AoF or Samurai Shodown animations would fit right in...
This makes me pretty confident that KoF14 will have a nice CG intro at least haha.

YO WE READY FOR CAPCOM VS. SNK 3 BOYZ
All this SNK talk got me hyped, to the point I started a silly little project, to share on my art-places online... I basically take some design ideas to be found in Street Fighter V, and try to imagine them applied to a hypothetical Garou 2.
I don't think it's thread-worthy on GAF, so I'll leave it here just for fun (please go easy on me guys). So far, I've done:
- Terry
- Marco
- Bonne Jenet (I should add this may be slightly NSFW)
- Rock
And this is the first batch with the character I'm working on at the moment.
I'm also writing down a bit of a back-story for each character, just to give my design choices some context. If you're interested in, I'll put them here too.

Release a KOF 14 demo before the launch to let us test the netcode, Or even make a partial purchase right now like King of Fighters XIV Prelude. I'd pay ten bucks right now to beta test it and get good. Hell it has 17 characters right now. That's 20 more than skullgirls has and still more than Street Fighter V or Guilty Gear. Damn that wait is killing me inside.
Thanks for checking it out! ^_-
