Fan Service, SNK Style

Weird. It's huge.

ah, nevermind - it didn't have the usual ignored post marker. I was looking at the second post, not the first (must have changed with the board update, or in my preferences)

Will this do?

Red Earth was the US name. Warzard was the JP name. It is a stupid name.

As to where it actually came out here, I have no idea.

"Fan Service, SNK Style"

Misleading thread title. I expected breasts, dammit.

Between SNK swapping hands a few times over the years, the whole Neo Geo Fre@K thing, and Shawn getting games released on a shoestring budget, a barely edited version of a rehashed game isn't that bad. Besides, it's still more "arcade perfect" than any other home version will be.

Within a year or 2, anyone will be able to pick up the MVS cart for like $35 if they really want to.

Never saw Sega thank it's fans in the USA after they yanked the DC from us. Or the Saturn for than matter.

Never saw Nintendo thank anyone for buying a Virtual Boy.

Never saw Atari thank anyone for buying a Jaguar.

For SNK to publicly thank it's fans, and do so in a manner that serves the collector fanbase, is top notch in my book.

I think youre giving them too much credit.

Its a single page in a manual of a $200+ game. its a single page for people who have supported that stupid system for 14 years and undoubtedly thousands of dollars.

Yea, I never saw Nintendo thank anyone for buying a Virtual Boy, but Virtual Boy wasnt a $500 system with $200 games.

Dont get me wrong, its a nice gesture, but its not exactly an outpouring of warmth and generosity.

Well, with the abundance of Warzard characters in the upcoming Capcom Fighting Jam...if the game is popular enough, maybe we'll get a PS2 port or something. SF3 is coming out this month.

Then again, maybe Nokia will somehow magically make the N-Gage worth buying and EA will make its games online for Gamecube. *shakes fist* Damn you Capcom!
