Sprites

No new Athena game.

this
sprites almost financially destroyed them and they had to use mobage to put themselves back in the green

They went bankrupt twice and had to be bought out by Chinks after the second time.

they really never recovered after arcades stopped being a big thing worldwide

Some guy gets inspired by your hit fighting game series and makes his own and then a few decades later Americans ask who you are

>Some guy gets inspired by your hit fighting game series and makes his own
what guy and what game?

They are recovering slowly, but the next Metal slug and KOF will be the real challenge

don't remember, probably didn't go anywhere

i remember a story like that, apparently the dude was playing kof95 and he beat this dating couple pretty badly in it and felt really bad about it and so he decided he wanted to make a game that casuals could get into without much trouble
don't think he managed to get anywhere, though, but i heard he was really inspired by rolls, spot dodges, and hops of kof

Currently? Nothing, their slowly regaining momentum

Neo Geo consoles didn't sell well.

I trusted you SNK...
I trusted you...
Now videogames are dead.

The first time? Over reliance on dated hardware and not being able to adapt to 3d gaming when it was becoming more dominant.

Outsourcing their port jobs to companies that do half-assed jobs like DotEmu and Digital Eclipse.
Not learning how to adapt 2D animation in a similar manner that ArcSys managed to perfect.
No WELL KNOWN franchises other than KOF, Metal Slug, and Samurai Shodown.
A failure to adapt from the arcade market to the home console/portable market.

trusted them to what
what's with the dramatic ellipses

are you that dork from irc who does this

Masahiro Sakurai

sounds like a party game

>port jobs
Weren't those just ROMs with a emulator?

it was worth it

but you don't even play

i played pretty much half of all kof games including xi and xiii
kof mi is ugly and a mistake

the ports to SNES and Sega Genesis were off

never made a fighting game

wait, i just realized
you're an agent from capcom, aren't you
you wanted to destroy one of your competitors for real

They didn't made those.

literally who?

no Crystalis 2

They have a bad relationship with money.

By ports I'm referring to the garbage-level emulation jobs that were Metal Slug Anthology, Samurai Shodown Anthology, SNK Arcade Classics, Orochi Saga, all of DotEmu's attempts and so on.
