Is it fair to say that SNK has completely jumped the shark? If using the long awaited sequel to one of their most beloved games of all time as a platform to flaunt Saudi celebrity connections doesn't qualify, I'm not sure what does.Hell, peeps are boycotting and cancelling pre-orders and shit over this, but that's a bit of an overreaction and I'm still hyped for it, but I understand since it's gonna have to live and die by the goofy celebrity guests.
Nah, I absolutely understand where they are coming from. Almost 30 years of waiting just for the iconic and beloved Fatal Fury IP to be reduced to nothing more than a vanity venue for one nauseatingly rich dickhead is foul. If it was just CR7 it would still kind of suck, but whatever, he is one of the most famous people alive, especially to the Latin American audience that makes up a lot of SNK's own fandom. But now we're at the point where anyone with the loosest of ties to Prince MBS are getting full development resources and time towards becoming a full fledged character in what's supposed to be the grand finale of their flagship franchise 25 years in the making.
