Maybe new to these forums, but not new to SNK.
I just thought it was funny how someone can bitch so much at
at a gaming company and its fans because they can't obviously
afford to buy the original arcade games.
No, they want them on their beloved ps2s, xboxe's or cube's.
If you don't like the way it is, don't buy the games, easy as that.
For the time being enjoy your inferior ports while you can.
Thanks, 7F. Looks like we've got a real deal. :DQuote:

I'm not against SNK moving to new hardware- it's not all about the graphics, since you can only hold so much on a cart. The 68000 has limits on how much cart space it can access. If you want larger rosters, then new HW would be a good move. Having 60 fighters on one cart is something I can't see happening. Hell, a NAOMI cart can hold 1376 Megabits- and a NAOMI GD-ROM would be definitely more than enough (1 GB = 8000 Megabits, enough to relieve SNKP of any worries about space).
LOL, the typical elitist asshole SNK response. Came out, right on cue - "youre not cool enough to spend $300 on a single game running on 14 year old hardware, so of course you hate it". Hey, wanna buy my copy of Mickey Mouscapade on the NES? Ill give you a good price, $230. How's that sound?Quote:

They dug into their archives from 8 years ago to get some fucking ancient sprites. That's bullshit. Why couldnt they just draw new sprites? Jazz the game up? Put it on a modern arcade kit so they can blow everyone away like they did when SamSho first came out?
It's not unreasonable to expect 2003 production values from a 2003 game.
Especially when there's shit like Guilty Gear X out there, which has amazing 2D graphics and kickass gameplay. And yes people here level these same complaints at Capcom when they peddle their rehashed sprite bullshit on gamers, but at least they try to change the gameplay a bit.
And you know... I wont play their games. And neither will 99.999999% of gamers, as well. Because the games look like they are a decade old. And they play like the games that were out a decade ago. And then when SNK goes out of business again you all at Neo-Geo.com can cry like little girls and complain about how the sheeple don't get your anachronism of a gaming company.

:rolleyes: This has nothing to do with people being unable to afford any freaking games. This has to do with SNK Playmore half assing on their recent games, their inability to adapt to the present, their milking of a few franchises when they have so many other great resources to work with and lack of willingness to take risks. It seems you are scared of change or something. I think your blind loyalty to a freaking machine has made you lose some brain cells.
Oh yeah, last time I checked most MVS cartridges are at the same price or slighty higher or lower than current next gen games. Why do you Neo-Geo loyalists always talk about how expensive the games are? Does it make you feel like a big man that you have purchased expensive video games? Does it make your E-Penis grow or something? Sheesh......:rolleyes:
How much we pay for a game is supposed to make a game (or a person) better? What a crock of shit.Quote:

Am I not the only one who predicted a response like this would surface in this thread? "Got a problem with SNK? TOO BAD, BUY OVERPRICED GAMES ON OUTDATED HARDWARE OR SHUT UP!!". :lol:Quote:

As for inferior ports, I guess that just speaks volumes about the incompetence of whomever team of programmers is in charge of DC/PS2 ports.
...Especially when it's SNK themselves at the helm. :rolleyes:Quote:

And it seems they love next gen consoles MORE then their own machine, because I don't remember their ports getting better backgrounds and added characters. Why do SNK loyalists have to say to that? Oh, wait, I know, "KoF 2001's new backgrounds are STUPID", like the original's backgrounds were some kind of work of art :lol:
allright, you can be that dog! EH POPPY? WOF WOF!!!
*wipes a tear from eye*
ah......never gets old.
