Anyways, this KOF is not confirmed to be KOF2004 which would be their Key franchise.

The thought of Sammy working on a KOF title is great. SNK should hire Falcoon and let him help out on this.

I wouldn't mind seeing a KOF title with linked 4P like Guilty Gear Isuka. Each player could choose two characters and reselect the order before each round. The 4 players would be 2 teams of 2- so each team would have 2 characters fighting for it at a time, taking this one out of the one-on-one model.

Some SNK franchises that aren't fighting games which I'd like to see return are Magician Lord (if they have this one near completion, it's time for them finish it up and quit sitting on it), Last Resort, and NAM-1975 (perhaps a prequel that takes place during the middle of the Vietnam War).

That was an admitted lie by a US publicist to raise public intrest in the system. There are a few games that I would like to see released that there are known protos of.

Also I personally love one on one fighters more than any other system, but just so that Cabana Boy knows, the regular 3 on 3 play for KOF (A.k.a. 1on1) was ditched for 2003. What will be replaceing it was not stated.

I kinda like that idea, but I've had something else that worked more on the line of capcom's vs series by each player selecting 4 characters, then splitting into 2 teams each. Now the way this would work, team one would fight the first round, but if anyone in that team gets eliminated, that team is done (it's something like tekken tag's system) and at any time, you can "tag" your partner in VS style so you can help your teammate recover while the fresh player is going at it.

I think it's far more tactical this way, plus we can have 4 player groups back instead of just 3 with a striker.

Now all they need is to get back their original development teams and start branching out from just fighting games again and I'll be happy. They need to become more creative and start creating new franchises in addition to reviving some old ones in order to become successful again.

The irony of your statement is Arc System Works (who essentially work for Sammy) were formed by people who left SNK. So if Arc did work on KOF, they would be getting back to their original dev teams.

No, because '98 was completely different. 2k is just '99 with more stuff to it. The systems are identical. And I personally feel the upgraded system in 2k1 is better than the one in 2k, making it worthless to me. '98 still has value because it uses an old system which I still like and has characters not seen in '99-2k1. Some showed up in 2k2, but I can't bring myself to like that KOF at all.

This rumor is about ten times better than any of SNK's real stuff at the moment, barring Samsho 0.

I wish they'd give Mai a new outfit... We should have a "design new costumes for SNK" month in the Galleria, Hero :D.
