http://www.snk-capcom.com/news/archives/00000019.htm this is an article over at snk-capcom.com in which a sammy employee discusses the ramifications of snk-playmores decision to focus on the pachinko industry. it seems that snk may end up selling their neogeo intellectual properties (kof, metal slug, samurai shodown, etc) to sammy. this makes sense to me, since they already announced that all the future games are going to be on atomiswave. it also makes hella good business sense, since snk hasnt put out a stellar game since playmore cast a phenix down on their ass. i recommend you read the article, but scroll down till you see the snk-playmore logo, thats where it gets interesting. ENJOY!
