just because the news isnt in english doesnt mean someone can translate and bring it to the front. Magic box gaming news did that a lot and even Kotaku news.

I'm pretty sure they never report on pachinko machines and the likes, that's why. If you dig in this topic and maybe the last SNK topic a few pages back in this section, you'll see that only some hardcore diggers found infos on these slot machines and sometimes their "now hiring" announcements. News sites never talk about those things.

but damn this is how bad SNK is now?

It's been in the dumpster ever since the Eolith and SNK Playmore fiascos. KoF2000 was already their swan song, their dying achievement, Eolith miraculously bought them back but then it tanked hard, SNK returned as SNK Playmore and that didn't do any better (I think it's back to just SNK again now). Not counting the alliance with that Chinese rip-off a couple years back. This was about 14 years ago.

If I struggled to the end of my determination, to the end of my way of life with my followers, if the result is ruin, then this ruin is inevitable. Grieve. Shed tears. But you cannot regret.

lol nahh maybe a FPS metal slug er something would be better

@ DKDC

Oh ok i got you. sounds like SNK needs a prayer at this point. So Its a hit or miss they may come back decent with the games if these slot games dont feed em well enough to revive again within the fighting game community or normal gaming community period. But yeah i saw the slot game news from TFG & magic box international gaming news in speckles. Those articles on slot games are pretty small and for obvious reasons i see

Anyway thanks for the ear full.....at least i know now those slot games serve some sort of purpose to feed the future of new games by SNK possibly

Goddamn.

Whenever i see this topic as one of the ten last posts i jump in here and REALLY HOPE that there is that one post with a random link to a gamesite or SNK itself with a launch trailer of a new KOF Fighting Game or at least an announcement about it.

For the sake of everything whats good, please post in here only if its about a new kof game.... *sigh*

That's the western market. But that market has pretty much never existed for them. Actually, in the Asian market, over the last decade we did see an attempt at some sort of beat 'em up with KoF characters, and a sort of WoW-like game with KoF characters, from some Korean and Chinese companies I think. Again, there's no chance that any news site over here ever pointed them out. It's only on forums like this one here or that one whose name I forgot with a guy who always translates everything about SNK, Dr. something I think, maybe on Cyberfanatix, that you find this kind of info.

the forum you are thinking about is the mmcafe boards. cyberfanatix also puts as many snk news as they can, but they mostly originate from mmcafe.

SNKP isn't as dead in the water as people believe. They just caught themselves in a unprofitable business model in the middle of the console generation, as well as other circumstances.

Playmore's plan for this passing gen was to bring about a "rebirth" of 2D pixel art (which was KoF12's tagline). That was going to be the new foundation for their games. But they didn't have the manpower to pump out 2D pixel art in the frequency they wanted to. Obviously they didn't succeed on that, and being that they had no other viable assets they could use for PS3/360 games, their only option was to make a followup to 12 (outside of repacking their older games of course).

This was not helped by the fact that a certain ex-President of the SNK Playmore Corporation wanted to disassemble the games division. Rumor had it that they wanted to do a Samurai Shodown reboot in the same style as XII/XIII, but it was scrapped for a Pachislot machine in the same vein (I don't remember where I found this info and I doubt it's legitimacy anyway).

What Playmore's plan is for the coming generation is to use 3D technology (like every other major video game company) to make games in their signature style; they're pretty much starting over. Pachislot will make them quick money for now (as well as practice on 3DGC for the real things).

IIRC, Guilty Gear Xrd's CG were also used for Slot Machines.

That would be pretty wild actually. How you said it with the "random Abilities and supers and in 3rd person" reminds me of the old Dreamcast game: Spawn In Demons Hand
