Gamespot is the one multiformat website which has interest in SNK. IGN, Gamespy, etc... you see little to nothing there... but Gamespot has SNK fans.
This is a very comprehensive (28 page) lengthy history of SNK... well worth reading, IMO. Though it'd be nicer if they were releasing their games on GC as well as X-Box... :(
So... they have Metal Slug 3 (best in the series...) coming for X-Box (Live leaderboard) in May, SNK Vs Capcom SVCChaos coming for X-Box (fully Live enabled) in the fall, Samurai Shodown for X-Box next year sometime, and Metal Slug Advance for GBA... Sony hasn't approved US releases for MS3 or SVCChaos, even though they did allow KOF2000/2001 last year. Stupid Sony hates 2d, doesn't allow many 2d games on their system...
My question is, why not Gamecube too? I'm sure it'd get approved by Nintendo... I guess they think people who want SNK games don't have Cubes, but I don't really get that... at least they're saying they'll probably support the next Nintendo machine.
