SNK - Getting its act together?
Let me know if I've got my facts straight:
-SNK is releasing SvC Chaos, Metal Slug 4, and a KoF: 2001/2002 pack all on the PS2.
-SNK is going to use Atomiswave hardware for upcoming games
-The 3D KoF will use Atomiswave.
Now, I dunno if I'm grabbing at straws, but it feels like SNK is starting to get its act together. I mean, it's good enough that they're so adamant about putting their games on a popular console (PS2), but the turnaround time for SvC Chaos is remarkable. Normally, a Neo game has to be out eons before it comes out on another system (okay, maybe not THAT long...). And the 3D KoF? I'm estactic about it - moan all you want about the ills of 3D, or the fact that SNK has never done anything good in 3D, or that it 'ruins' KoF, but they are trying something new. Branching out, moving into other venues - the fact that they are finally working on hardware other than AES/MVS is enough to have me dancing.
Now, if SNK can pull out some good stuff, not rely solely on KoF, and try its hand at hi res 2D...*drool*
I'm hopefully optimistic. Who's with me?
