Marco accidentally created an AI while screwing around with a stolen computer virus or something. She currently is a hologram projected from a special SV-001 tank.

Some waifu characters are ok, I think.

Marco find a sentient computer super virus that was calling for help.
He answer her call and spend days reworking the virus to make it harmless but keep the sentient part of it.
Only Tarma know about her true nature and they can't tell anyone else because it would either because they know the Regular Army is corrupted as fuck and would use the original virus to nefarious goal or because it would put them in danger just for knowing.
Marco act like a doting father toward her while Alice want to breed with him.
Tarma also regulary make fun of him because of that.

Artist is female FYI, she just like cute girls.

Heidern, Clark and Ralk, I doubt you metal slug faggots even know who they are though.

>Only Tarma know about her true nature
In the Regular army.
Forgot that part.
White Baby also know.

I'm curious to see how the banter between Marco and Tarma will evolve now that she exist.

Ralf and Clark have been regulars in the series since 6. Leona was added in XX. Heidern is in the gacha games.

Considering the Ikari team is playable in the later MS, that's a retarded assumption to have.

i wonder if they're gonna use her more, apparently she wasn't well received by the fanbase.

I just want hope they keep the sprite animation quality of the other games

alternatively a first person shooter version metal slug would also be interesting but i am hoping for the former

Well, I do also think her mech is ugly and her design is rather forgetable.

i kinda agree but she's a pretty good unit in the game imo.

give me 90s inspired anime look.

god shut the fuck up already

Fio was my first vydia waifu and I loved the roughness and overealism of the artwork of the first 3 games, then MS4 hit the market and things just got more anime like after that. It took away a lot of its charm.

People complaining about "muh 80" or "muh 90" anime don't know know shit about anime.

I only ever played the first metal slug when do all of these characters start getting introduced?

When people mention the entire anime shit, they think of the generic artstyle most shows and mangas are using, not the uniquely stylized one.
This is how most female characters in MS were supposed to look like until MS2/XX concept art were leaked. Also

>Not liking a stylization

No, Metal Slug's soul relied on its parody of war media, it shifting into a safer animeish style to sell is part of it's current commercial appeal. I miss the old artwork, I don't want them to go back and go bankrupt

MSA.
To be fair, MSA is a testing ground to see what is popular and what isn't.
Some of the most popular characters already got official merch and I fully expect them to appear in the next MS in some form.

Oh, you. Thank god, you're here.
I wanted to present you my deepest excuses for what happened in the last thread. I was ''LITERALLY SHAKING'' and I couldn't resist the temptation of going into an autistic rage during our debate.
Now that I'm way more disposed for all of this. Allow me to have a better enounciation of my opinion.
I think, in some way, Metal Slug always had a certain identity that made it unique, as other anons said, it's Military Parody universe. The way the first trilogy handled it made it unique compared to most military parodies in Japan, you know, the one with little girls in panzers or in military uniforms. Eri and Fio have been established to be the cute girls of the game along with Rumi and Madoka, and they were contrasting witht the rest of the cast that was cartoonish.
The thing is, if SNK was to insert more female characters into the game, and especially the ones in MSA, that would break the balance the previous games established. Waifus are alright, but too much is too much.
I know I've said that in Metal Slug, anything could be possible. But in a sense, Metal Slug had it's own type of absurdity and humor in which tiny little girls in tanks would be quite unfitting if not done well. Allow me to use this as an example, if SNK was to put a little girl character with a huge tank, they would probably do a character that ressembles Tiny Tina from the Borderlands series, a characters that looks young and innocent, but then still has a part of madness and excentricity. Completely going for the ''cute and pure girl'' would break the mood of the game. Fio, even though she might be cute, still has a lot of humoristic moments within the series, which balances the character.

Again, sorry for last thread, user.

Dragunov

For it to have proper sprite work and not be a '2.5D' abomination

Which isn't going to happen

Is it even possible, to make 3d models that imitate the pixel art?
Like Guilty Gear fake 2d drawing, but with sprite look?
I can't think of a game that does it good for this case.

what if they used an animation style like dragon's crown?

Dead cells does it

So what exactly does Metal Slug parody?

I like how our only speculation is how low of an effort they'll give it.

>Metal Slug 8 has been confirmed to be in the works
proofs?

My hopes for the new title is that it holds the same feeling as the first 3 games, which involves serious action with slapstick, high quality spriteworks and challenging gameplay. Also, the anime style has been a thing since the original, just that the styles have been changed to a modern look. I don't mind having cute female characters in the game so long as it's not a primary appeal to the game.

I mean SNK is fully chinese now.
you cant really expect quality from the chinks

>I wanted to present you my deepest excuses for what happened in the last thread. I was ''LITERALLY SHAKING'' and I couldn't resist the temptation of going into an autistic rage during our debate.
I don't mind, it was cute and funny, and as proof of my good faith, I'm willing to forget abput whatever argument you may have used in the last thread.
>The way the first trilogy handled it made it unique compared to most military parodies in Japan, you know, the one with little girls in panzers
Despite what you may think, I can assure you Girls und Panzer is more unique than MS will ever hope to be on a conceptual level.

>or in military uniforms
Too vague and considering Eri/Fio can also be included in that...

>they were contrasting witht the rest of the cast that was cartoonish.
Considering they can also get fat or turned into zombie gushing metric tons of blood, I'd say they also got the cartoonish treatment.

>The thing is, if SNK was to insert more female characters into the game, and especially the ones in MSA, that would break the balance the previous games established. Waifus are alright, but too much is too much.
See my previous post, MSA is a testing ground, most of them will probably not make it to the main series, I just hope my wives do.

>Metal Slug had it's own type of absurdity and humor in which tiny little girls in tanks would be quite unfitting if not done well
What if I told you MSA did them well?

>Completely going for the ''cute and pure girl'' would break the mood of the game
The few girls that are actually that in MSA do not actually fight lorewise so you're probably going to see them as NPC.

>Fio, even though she might be cute, still has a lot of humoristic moments within the series, which balances the character.
But that's also true for a lot of characters in MSA.

Yeah. If a proper metal slug's ever gonna be made it's gotta be bought back from the chinese.

i wouldn't mind the new characters appearing if they do in some sort of minigame mode

Nope, pixel art sprite are now impossible to do unless you're okay with low rez sprite (FYI neogeo only had an internal resolution of 320x224 pixels) and even then you'd have to find people willing to do the job.
The modern alternative to pixel art sprite are either "puppeteering" (Dragon's Crown) or hand drawn animation like you would do for an anime (Skullgirls, the recently revealed Street of Rage 4) and neither of those would satisfy people wanting pixel art sprites.

But I want my wives to be playable.
As for that other user who waifued Alice, she would be very easy to implement as a (optionnal) skin for the SV-001.

Well, based on how kof looked, and yeah Samurai Showdown look good. But they are not going to spend the effort for MS... But I would like to be proven wrong

How about making the sprites from the ground up?
Pic related is a remake of an SNES game and how they compare is almost identical.

Attached: 20190221093329_1.jpg (1920x1080, 403K)

Maybe user my only wish is that 4 player MS happens and how chaotic it would get

I would be okay with hand drawn art if it matched the art style

While I like classic Sprite work, it was always more about the sheer love and effort that went into the handdrawn assets. They could put the same effort into handdrawn traditional animation and I'd still be pleased

But it does need to be 2D, and it does need to be expressive. Those two things are noncomproble

Not to mention that many of the girls who do fight are either in huge vehicles, wielding powerful heavy weapons/armor or are going full-on Allen style.

Wild Guns?
Yeah, they remade everything but it's still low rez (for the current standard, it's still at a higher rez than what the SNES had) sprite upscaled to whatever resolution the game use.
So no, there's no HD sprite here even if it looks "good enough".

It will use an anime artstyle and while I'll love it, you will be butthurt over it user.

Remember when the first game ended with a paper airplane flying over the battlefield with all of the guys you killed?

Then we got anime faces and Martian invaders.

So you only enjoyed the first game?

I'll add two modes
Arcade mode: Classic Metal Slug action, 6 levels with what do you expect from the series, everyone is here too (Marco, Tarma, Eri, Fio, Trevor, Nadia, Ralf, Clark, Whip & Leona).
Story Mode: A more story driven mode, you go through a lot of stages with some small cinematics and dialogs between characters to add to the story, You play as different characters along the campaing and you talk/fight with some other chars introduced in Attack.
Longer than Arcade mode, maybe add branching paths like with 3 but with different bosses (most of them being powered up units from Attack), these paths also affect how the story progresses.
we get classic ms action and also a more longer mode to enjoy lore and interactions and also please the gachafags.

Why are there so many waifus in this thread? Are they from Metal Slug? Fuck... I just want to play as Tarma and shoot fucking soldiers... Or aliens.

how would a sniper even work if most of the weapons (except the shotgun) can reach all the screen?

Yes stages are long, but more main story content is always nice to have, even if it comes at expense of side content like combat school. The current campaigns just feel too short. Around 10 is a healthy number.

>more alternate paths
Everyone likes these

>better boss fights
Take some inspiration from modern boss design (from games and cuphead). Well differentiated Multi phase bosses, more mini bosses in the course of a level.

This question doesn't need to be answered if they go full 3D

In MSA, they don't. Snipers in most cases reach beyond the edge of the screen, too.

>I don't expect them to have pink hair
Nadia does

That one is from the present and is currently an assistant/former soldier with PTSD.

>with chuuni eyepatches
She wear one because she literally lost half of her face and body if the burns, artificial limbs and the different hair color wasn't indication enough.

I want them to kill off the waifu shit from the mobile games and focus on real gameplay.

But SNK gets too much money from churning out pixelart tits so I have no faith that MS8 will be any different.

I'm sure there are plenty of hilarious over-the-top Elfen Lied-esque tragic circumstances to explain the shitty designs, but it doesn't change the fact that they looked at Metal Slug and thought "yes, this shit will fit in perfectly".
And Nadia's a shit character too, but she gels with the style 200x better than the shit posted in this thread. You could look at her and the other characters and believe they come from the same universe.

You don't need a backstory to see her design has burn marks and artificial limbs, you just can't be bothered to properly look at a design.

The chuuni character exist and it is not her.
You're so biaised that you can't help but think of anime chuuni the moment you see an eyepatch, that's how bad things are.
You do know that even IRL people wearing a glass eye will still sometime wear an eyepatch? You obviously don't and even if you did, you decided from the start that the character was a chuuni and focused on that.

>No. She doesn't. I've been playing MS games for nearly 15 years and if that image didn't specificaly mention MSA I would never guess in a million years that she had anything to do with the franchise.

C'mon user, she literally has burn marks on half her face, there's no reason to think her eye has magically been spared, she wear the eyepatch for a reason.

>My view of the franchise includes everything outside of this horrendous gatcha garbage with shitty waifus forced into it to rake in horny whale money.
MS5 literally has magic shit with scythe-wielding demon as a final boss but somehow a girl chanelling the power of said demon is not okay?

I told you before that I understand the design. The point i'm making is that the burn scars, etc. exist only to facilitate the design features. The end goal here is something that doesn't really gel with the MS design philosophy. The ends do not justify the means. Whatever tragic backstory she has doesn't excuse the fact that they're shoving in a maid loli with pink hair and a chuuni eyepatch into the game because it's a design that will appeal to weebs and earn whalebux.

Besides some of the gacha units to be in the game or even better playable.
I just want to ride some of the enemies vehicles.
And i hope doesn't look too ugly. SNK 3D is not quite yet.

>I told you before that I understand the design
You clearly didn't.

>The point i'm making is that the burn scars, etc. exist only to facilitate the design features. The end goal here is something that doesn't really gel with the MS design philosophy. The ends do not justify the means. Whatever
What if the means justified the ends? If half your face was burned, wouldn't you also wear an eyepatch on the burned eye?
That's the issue: you're convinced the goal of the character is to have an eyepatch when it could have been something they added later to make the design more coherent.

>Whatever tragic backstory
Again, I'm talking only about her design which features burn marks and artificial limbs. It should have been enough to hint that her eye is gone too but apparently you need a fucking backstory for that.
You clearly don't understand the design if you think that.

Tell me, Oh great MS fan that you are, how much did you spend on your beloved serie? Because I'm fairly certain that I've spent more on MSA than you will ever do in your entire life for the MS series as a whole.

>jobbed against a rookie with no experience

the girl in the picture user posted is not Sophia

Right, it was her sister Margaret.
Still that user thought anime girls never existed in MS when they were a thing from the start.

Okay, I guess i'm talking to a wall here. Keep feeding on the scraps your gatcha overlords feed you, if that makes you happy.
Oh, and i've bought the Anthology release several times before in the past as well as the (shitty) Steam releases. I also bought the GBA MS as well as MS7.
But in the end it's hard to compete with the spending power of a drone who drops thousands of his mom's hard-earned dollars on generic waifu .pngs, so I guess you can hold the W on that one.

Question.
What's with all the lore involving Fio and Eri being assigned to kill Marco and Tarma.
And for that matter, why are Maco and Tarma being blackmailed in the first place? I'm aware Marco made a virus and uploaded it into the Regular Army's mainframe almost causing a nuclear missle strike but he willingly signed up to fight the Rebel Army. Tarma too.

I like how she and dragunov literally sink in the water because of how much muscle they have.

I hope they get rid of Fio and Eri. Too much waifu shit for my taste. It needs to be more diverse. Where is my LGBT and people of color characters? Japanese and Chinese needs to be more inclusive baka.

What the fuck is all this anime shit.
this is not metal slug.

>MS7 introduces time travel

So why the boomers doesn't like the ideas from MSA? After this they almost makes sense, seriously look at the older games,no one outside MS4 are like the original where you just destroy soldiers and slugs

Also there's a lot of waifu stuff since the beginning,for example the combat school or the eri tits dead animation

So basically there's a lot of stuff from MSA who can work in MS8 like pic related,she can be a boss of her own stage

I literally pointed out the logical fallacies in your argument, you don't need a fucking backstory to understand that an obviously crippled person may need an eyepatch to cover her eye (or lack of thereof)
Or what? Do you think WW1-2 vets are wearing eyepatches for fun? Pic related.

>lost the argument

Didn't you want a cordial discussion?
Don't worry, I will be here to lick your tears if MS8 actually feature a MSA waifu and there's very good odds that at least Abigail or Dragunov will make it.

It's clear you'll suckle off whatever generic anime dreck is fed to your gaping hole of a mouth, regardless of what you're treading over to accomplish that.
If you're incapable of discerning the fundamental differences between pre-Attack and post-Attack character designs and why people dislike the changes, then you're either literally blind/retarded or just trolling. Either way, i'm wasting my time on this nonsense.

So how exactly did they make the Metal Slug sprites? Was it hand-drawn beforehand and then converted into pixel art, or did they literally design and animate it all pixel by pixel?

Attached: cool_bug_facts.png (1080x1108, 671K)

I dont recall EVER seeing sketches of the animations, just the concept art of characters and overall base design. so im guessing they did spritework and animation straight up digitally.

>It's clear you'll suckle off whatever generic anime dreck is fed to your gaping hole of a mouth, regardless of what you're treading over to accomplish that.
Nope, there's much lewder on the mobage market, the only reason I play MSA is because I played the MS game in the past.
And the waifus.

>If you're incapable of discerning the fundamental differences between pre-Attack and post-Attack character designs and why people dislike the changes, then you're either literally blind/retarded or just trolling. Either way, i'm wasting my time on this nonsense.
Have you finally accepted that the eyepatch was an organic part of the design rather than a forced one? You don't seems to mention it anymore.
And don't worry about me, because you should have noticed fundamental differences in everything between games that were released before MS4 and game that were released after MS3.
But it seems that you don't so you may be the one retarded here.

No they're not. They might've been bought out by them, but their main dev force is still Osaka based. The chink buy out has barely had any effect on them. Stop parroting shit you see retards spout online.

Its common for companies to reuse assets, but they took it way too far in 4/5/6
MS1-2-3 aside from those pointed out sounds, are mostly original in their own right.
some grunt screams (although very characteristic of MS) is not exactly a very exclusive thing to any game, and those blast and explosion sounds were very common on the anime of the era so its not like a case of actual rehash.

See? this is a bit more like it would fit a little bit better in Metal slug, not some big tittied anime maid or muscle girl wearing a bikini.

they got bought out by chinks that are turbonerds of snk and let them stay as they are so they can do what they do.
they are honestly going through a Renaissance right now after being in the red for years.

This trash mobage has been going on for 3 years, really?

Are you kidding? 2/x/3 reused a bunch of graphical assets too. All the metal bridges and stuff just to name some examples. Bosses were reused too,as awesome as their inclusions were in X/3. I'm sorry, while what you said is true about companies reusing stuff, but to say that the early games weren't guilty of reusing assets whille assuming only the post 3 games are guilty of this is purely delusional. As awesome as the early games were they are guilty of the same issues. If it comes to backgrounds and shit 6/7//XX are the least guilty of that. Personally I don't like them as much as the neo geo backgrounds, but bottom line is the stuff they used was completely different.
Listen man, Personally I think the games between 1-3 are the strongest in the series with the weakest being 4 (4 being the guiltiest of reusing) and 5, but you got to acknowledge that the games throughout the series did that to some degree or another.

Because it doesnt seem fitting for the same reason.
also women are not known for being strong all out fighters like Allen but rather agile and inteligent. like they would command a big mech instead like .
Its the same with Allen on 7 piloting the big mech. it looks out of place.

Yes and they're one of the bigger resources of revenue for SNK along with the other mobile games, and they've been making more money thanks to the mobile stuff since like 2015/16. It's been mentioned in their financial stuff every year since. The biggest source of revenue being their IP licensing.

SNK has been surviving off of it's mobage for a very long while.
i know people like to shit on mobile games just because, but even with the waifushit, the game goes out of it's way to respect everything about metal slug that was already there.
the only character that has ever really been played as a joke or has been shit on is allen JR, and even then they give him a top class girl in julia here who is everything you would expect an allen to have as a future wife.

>also women are not known for being strong all out fighters like Allen but rather agile and inteligent
If you wan to use the realism argument (in fucking MS? really?) you should know that IRL men are better than women at those too.

I've been arguing with those people for two days: they will say they don't care about the lore but will bring the lore to justify their hate of sexy girl/fanservice.

prove it

Same gameplay, more of the humor and wackiness from X and 3, and more color variety than 7/XX. I know 7/XX took place on a literal garbage island, but once someone brought to my attention that it was brown everywhere, I couldn't unsee it. Also, bring back the classic enemy SFX. The enemies sound so damn lame and dorky in 6 and XX. They were good again in 7 but then they switched it back for XX.

It's a good thing that a majority of the female characters do just that then. Nearly all of them pilot vehicles, use crazy technology or even literally throw expendable troops at the problem. And that's not even counting the supernatural/alien/alternate universe characters.

yeah, just google it.

That's all well and good but it's still a horrible pay to win game.

It's a game that actually gives them money unlike the ones that everyone just pirate.

for pvp yeah, but the game has shitton of sp modes you can enjoy without having to rely on sr units.

Did they ever think about the fact that they could sell proper releases of said games instead of mame + rom being the better versions?
Ofcourse people are going to pirate instead of buying the games if the pirated versions are better.

whatever is new.
it's unfortunately that kind of game, so the guys who used to do the tier list just kind of gave up.
if you are going to start, i'd save all my medals for when you hit 50 and just use all of the free ways to get units like events and stuff that gives you extra currency

Except they did, but no one seems to have fucking bought them. When one of the developers asked what they should do to to ease new players into it a very good chunk of them mentioned features and things that had been included in the proper home releases at one point or another or similar stuff to it. Even if they release "proper home versions" people only ever purchase/pirate the arcade versions.

I myself have bought the PS1 version of X, the 4/5 pack sold in North America (PS2), bought the Anthology 3 times (PS2), Advance (GBA), got Metal Slug 7 (DS) with the special cardboard sleeve and the Neo Geo mini with all the Neo Geo slugs. Whish I could've gotten XX, by my PSP is already dead, but I'm thinking about the PS4 version. I wish I could have bought more, but I was too poorfag for neogeo carts or couldn't buy other versions since they were only released in Japan/other regions.

In fact I have a question for everyone, which metal slug games do you own, and in what form? Doesn't matter if it was digital, physical, or even part of a collection or stuff like the Neo Geo mini. I want to hear from the people that complain about the waifufags that spend money on the series, which Metal slug games do you own, when was the last time you put a coin into a cab with a Metal Slug game in it? I want to know who else bought some of the home releases of the Metal Slug games, or the ones fortunate enough to own AES/MVS carts.

The "bad guys"aren't the real bad guys. The organization your characters are from are the real bad guys.

This is purely speculation in my part, but my gut tells me one will be in the works once more info about the new game is revealed. Really good collection comprised of a bunch of their pre-neo geo games was released not too long ago. It had a robust museum featuring a bunch of history, neat little details about them, sketches, etc. It also let you play the Japanese/English releases and the home/arcade areleases if available. It had save states and some visual options as well as a mode where the games even play themselves incase you ever get stuck or something, it even let you rewind and shit.

A similar collection for the Neo Geo Samurai Shodown games is in the works and has been announced. My gut tells me there will be one for Metal Slug when the time comes.

It's worth a try to see if you dig it.
It used to be a long term game, but since they boosted rank xp half a year ago, it's much easier to get on your feet.
It's kind of like a tower defense game, you send out units and try to destroy the enemy base or boss.
PvP is a nightmare, so I wouldn't do anything with it except for dailies.

You spawn units from your tower that clash against an oponent.
Is alright i guess. Just don't play pvp. The stories are neat but the translation is pretty bad but this is SNK so is a plus.

It's like Age of War, there's a lot of units and different strategies and the such.
online is p2w as fuck but if you stick mostly to the single player modes (there's a lot of them) it can be fun.
I mostly play battle mode and raids.

How'd you like the combat school and the mini missions in X? I remember spending hours on them.

Have you tried the arcade archives versions? The Dot Emu ports are ass. Some of the home ports that have been released in the past have their flaws, but com packed with Extra stuff that isn't seen in other versions. Although idk how tough tracking some of them down now might be now and not all of them are available for all regions.

What do you own 3 on? was it the one with the mini game in which you get fat and has the mothership portion of the Final mission with the rebels as the playable characters? I never got to try that one since it wasn't released for PS2 in my region.

you pick chars from different factions, though a team full of one faction gives you a bonus and some chars have special skills that gives buffs to chars from their factions
You roll random units from the mystery crank (rates are not that awful), or buy them with currency from the special shops.
You also get to pick from a list a max evolved unit from the start.

The issue is that you get a free super unit, and that one single handle defeat everybody no problem, until you hit a wall of a mega crazy unit that you can't defeat

Those are manageable.
But pic related? Literal kings of meta for a long time until golden morden robot sent them into irrelevancy.

i honestly never used that maxed SR unit, i was using fio/eri/nadia/whip/leona at first and did fine, thought i got fucking lucky later on and got both Special Perche and Julia in a single roll i did.

See I fully expect you to answer

Make all the previous character from the previous entries playable and don't cherry-pick between 4 of them.

So do you think that a 4 player metal slug would work? I always love the multiplayer but with more players I don't know,it probably would make the game more easy or chaotic

I think they could make it. If it is to much caps, that is your problem for wanting to play 4 players.

I think it would make it more chaotic. They'd probably have to throw in more enemies or make them much tougher to compensate for the increase of players. Not that you mention it an online multiplayer Metal Slug just like that was attempted years ago, but it got canned. I don't quite recall if it was called Metal Slug Online or something like that.

Back in 2015, SNK Playmore got bought by some rich Hong Kong investor guy who actually has a massive boner for classic SNK games. Bought SNK Playmore, renamed it back to SNK, started hiring talent and funding actual games. Instead of a simple money-grubbing venture capitalist deal, he actually wants them to return to their former glory and make good games. The rough start a few years back were just growing pains.

I'm so fucking lucky. On a lark I went hard for the Golden Claw and it carried me so hard. Untouchable in ranked match for weeks. I should have played vs. even more than I did and really banked on my good fortune.

Wrong wrong wrong, everything you said except them getting bought out and probably the buyers being fans is incorrect. Funding was never given to them. The chinks didn't do shit except buy them up and bark an order here or there basically telling them to stop sucking at 3D during the IPO meeting before the most recent one. They never gave them cash or anything like that. It's all their mobile games and licensing of IPs that's funding them. If the chinese had given them any cash at all KoF XIV maybe would've had some sort of a boost, but it didn't, even the devs mentioned they had a small budget for it. Even the death of the pachi arm wasn't the chinese's doing, at the time SNK was losing money and changes in Japan's gambling laws would've forced them into more debt. That's a bigger effect than anything the chinese have done. The chinese barely did shit. The details of their financials have been available and ever since they chopped of the pachi arm nearly every time they mention how the mobile stuff sell more, each consecutive year. As of the last couple IPO meetings they mentioned the the largest form of revenue is mobage their IP licensing being the biggest contributor.

Then why all the sudden it look like they are trying to do decent real games?

sauce?

He's coming back right?

best guy

That's been a goal since the Pachi arm was chopped off (that was due to the changing japanese legislation about gambling and they were considering it before the buyout was finalized) since that avenue of revenue was pretty much out of the question. The mobile stuff has been carrying them too. To the credit of the new owners they did say they wanted there to be a sort of multimedia-verse of SNK related stuff. Main thing is other than that the chinese have provided no real financial backing since then. Pretty much everything they've been doing has been built off the revenue from the mobile and IP licensing stuff. Think about it, if the chinese had been funding all this time why have developers mentioned small budgets, why are they barely waiting until now to expand the size of the people they have on payroll, why are they barely now ramping up production from one console game to two per year? Had they had all that chinese money all of that and hiring the staff necessary would've been possible from the get go. Even one of the dvelopers (watanabe) a couple years ago mentioned around summer time that he didn't understand company decisions and that he wished they hired 50 more people, indicating that they were short on staff.
