I'll would support SNK more if they would sell home ports at an affordable price and on installed consoles, not requiring us to find an old Dreamcast and import titles. Or the NeoGeo which somehow still has the same high cost of ownership that it did upon launching. The new PS2 releases could be starting a trend, but SNK has to keep delivering or they'll end up going under again. Not because of emulation, but because of failing to please consumers.

 

I emulate because there are no arcades around me, the NeoGeo isn't exactly easy to go out and buy, nor are the rediculously priced titles that run almost as much as an entire console off the shelf.

 

I'm definitely getting KOF2000/KOF2001 once the Best Buy near me has one in stock. I'm stuck using Best Buy Reward Zone coupons, otherwise I'd just get it online. I also plan on getting both SVC and KOF2002, possibly KOF2003 towards next Fall when it may be released on the PS2. As far as Metal Slug 3, I hesitate to buy that particular releeas. They really needed to make a compilation pack like they did with KOF2000/KOF2001. Metal Slug 3 all by itself isn't worth the price. They needed to throw in at least one other Slug title. Maybe they will make an MSlug 1, 2 and X pack, then a 4 & 5 later on. As of now, Metal Slug 3 is too short and doesn't provide enough to warrant the asking price. $20 is the most that game should fetch considering what next-gen games offer for full price.

 

All of the games listed above I emulate, and I intend on buying the PS2 ports anyway. Ports are all I've got, since arcades are going under left and right except in big major cities. Though anyone can find Galaga at every laundromat in the country.

Well, I don't own an aes system myself but my cousin does and I go over his house to play some KOF sometimes.

 

I love SNK no doubt about that, one of the reasons why i use emulater is cuz USA is all about CAPCOM.except san fran meteron and other select arcades in the bay area barely have any SNK games. Hell, i remmeber fuking playing MVS in asian runned LAUNDRY mats :P

While i do play roms and emulators i keep in mind the whole company going out of business and arcades dying factor.

 

i have (and i'm sure of my count) spent more money on mvs arcade and other arcade games than the games themselves probably cost.

 

so i don't really have a guilty coincience

Well I usually download a game to test it. If I feel its worthy of buying, then I buy it even if I already have it. But you can't buy everything.

I'm not saying you should buy everything, and I'm not trying to be in charge, I'm just trying to say support the company in SOME way. sorry for posting this :\

Its arite, I think we know what you mean though. I sometimes wanna support a company if they do something great. But, do they really need it?

I love the games, but don't want to support SNK....period.

why do you pirate their flocking games and not just spend money for them.

 

At least buy some of their products (KoF 2000/2001 just came out for ps2, and lets not forget dreamcast, so don't make AES and MVS excuses)

 

SNK and Playmore aren't doing very well period, and I don't think that people not buying their games is going to help.

 

edit- And yes, I did buy the ps2 version and 2002 for dreamcast.

hmmph everybody supports SNK the way they can, some people can just support it by playing in the arcades, some other buying games ofr different consoles and some other buying the games for neo geo, and they do it because they like the company and they want it to release more games, they aren´t stupid to not give SNK any profit, they use roms because they want to play them at home as well, to practice or whatever or because the game they want isn´t released in a console yet or because they don´t want to wait any loading times or whatever but if all people could buy every single game and the neo geo console they would already have bought it, since playing it in the original console is cooler but many can´t that doesn´t mean they have stopped to support SNK.

Although people like I don't buy any SNK games, I do help out the company

 

by spreading news about the game... majority of us are already helping SNK by

 

advertising their game for them....the more we talk about these things, the more

 

people are going to find out about SNK and gradually, they will be interested in the

 

game....get the pattern? :D
