Upcoming SNK titles

I'm so confused with the mixed messages between ebgames.com, this message board, and SNK's site that I'm not exactly sure what's coming out. I realize there's been some problems with Sony, but does that mean that all of SNK's stuff is now being released on the Xbox?

Specifically I'm looking for status on King of Fighters 2003, Metal Slug 3, SVC Chaos, and Samurai Shodown Zero. I see that Metal Slug 3 is due out on May 4 for Xbox? Are all of these going to show up on the Xbox now that Sony's being a royal pain in the arse?

Who knows? They'll probably show up on N-Gage first.

SNK's actual release dates seem to pop out of nowhere. SVC Chaos and KOK2002 both seemed to just materialize out of the blue with their release dates. Samurai Shodown 5 and KOF 2003 both have US release dates according to some sources (May and August respectively), and yet there is still no word on JP release dates.

I expect an announcement on the actual dates to come within mere weeks of release.

I emailed Ben Herman today and he said there would be an announcement about the NA version of this game at E3. Whatever that means. He also said to check the website often for news.

That was taken from the GameFAQs message board. It also seems that Metal Slug 3 is now headed to Xbox because SCEA rejected it for PS2...is that right? I certainly hope it is, because I like how the Xbox automatically scans everything to 480p. :D

Well, if you go to an arcade and play SvC, you'll soon stop caring when it's going to be released.

Yeah, I know how it turned out not as good as everyone anticipated, but it's an SNK/Capcom game. I'll make myself like it... :p

480p + low res = ugly mess ;)

Truer words were never spoken.

But at least KoF2002 and SSZero are coming out. I'd take Metal Slug 3 over 4, but that's me.

No, that's anyone with taste.

Samurai Showdown and MS4 get's released(PS2 JP) in June if I'm not mistaken.
