A Pile of Bad News from SNK USA

[Josh]

Once that data's out there and moving around, I don't think they'll ever be able to bury it.

Confirmed.

[Changeling]

No, but the ROMS will after more companies start selling their old titles in VC and XBLA.

Glad I've downloaded and burned the complete libraries of all the consoles that are going to be able to be downloaded.

If the consoles offer online play for older games (Tetris Attack!) I'd gladly pay. Thats the catch, though. I want those kind features offered.

I love the logic in this thread. "If you don't add new features to your IP, I'll just steal it, because I want to play it, but I want an excuse to tell myself why I am a thief."

I thought Metal Slug 6 was considered their last arcade game, guess we'll see. Did Neowave ever get released on Xbox?

Apparently in the interview he stated Sony and MS have a standard for High-definition in their new consoles, so it sounds like this effectively screws any 2D artwork games for the systems, maybe collections would be a exception? I somehow doubt ethier company is going to turn down another Namco Musuem or Street Fighter Collection and piss off their big developers. *-neo

Hopefully a 360/PS3 Namco Museum will get a more ambitious selection with games like Rave Racer, Star Blade, Galaxian 3, Nebulasray, Lucky & Wild, Rolling Thunder 2, etc. The interlaced blur-o-vision found in the PS2 NM needs to go.

The next SF Collection to come out should be the whole series (SF1, all SFIIs, all SFIII's, and the Alphas) on one disc. I'd be willing to pay $60 or even $70 to have the entire shebang served up in this manner.

I'm thinking it's not okay to be spouting what you have due to security reasons or the fact that some industry jugg-head could be scoping for copyright material in the public forums.

btw yosh, spare us the guilt trip.

hola im back...im glad they are supporting the wii though

[Bonestorm]

it's funny how SNK is so gung ho about not updating their sprites, that they are essentially willing to let themselves die rather than go high res. Is it forbidden for them to even think about a metal slug game with guilty gear x graphics? Even today's mainstream douchebags would appreciate those graphics.

He's right, though: typical excuses for piracy are usually pretty pathetic.

Making new high-res 2d sprites for a game like metal slug is going to be way too expensive/time consuming and that isn't where the market is. It is not worth the money compared to just using 3d models (which you could then put on a 2d plane).

The SNK fans who keep buying this shit are as much to blame. No one should be buying Metal Slug 4/5/6.

uhhh....yea sure pal. If no one buys those games, then those types of games wont be made anymore - ever again - period. What the heck kind of logic is that? MS 4,5,6 are amazing games and its a miracle games like that are even being made. Where the hell else are you going to get your fix of 2d run n gun?
