Annoying SNK Fanboys

I probably am the last person to talk about this with my early comments about the PS3 and my General Apathy towards the Wii But anywho, on OTHER forums I've seen alot of SNK Complaining. Rumors abound KOF is going 3d is causing an uproar "KOF shouldn't be 2.5D and anime inspired that's for Guilty Gear" and some people being all about Metal Slug 7 on DS "I'd Back Metal Slug 7 if it were an arcade game"

Of coruse theres alot of Hate for the Maximum Impact Series just because it's 3d. "They're trying to go mainstream and abondon their fans"

There's alot of Fanboyism around but the Most anal seem to be the SNK Fanboys Why exactly do a bunch of rich white kids think they can tell a Japanese company what they can and cannot do with their company?

I do have legit complaints with SNK Like the fact they aren't making any actual New games that don't involve molesting witches and SNKP USA takes forever for a game to release here.

But I'm not complaining about Samurai Shodown going 3d Full time or that they're using the Taito Type X or that Metal Slug 7 is DS only. I think these are good things.

SNK's So called "fans" don't.

 

SNK did release MAX Impact to go after the more mainstream market. SNK never has really been mainstream, it's been for the hardcore gamers. They don't want change. They want Metal Slug on their MVS arcade cabinets or on their AES console. They feel they're being alienated. I don't blame them. Also, Maximum Impact had a garbage fighting engine. KOF has had a destinct style for over a decade.

If mario suddenly was drawn in the vein of Marvel comics you would complain, and if Mastechief was cell shaded Halo fans would complain.

bottom line: If it's not broke, don't fix it.

I was wondering about MS 7 the other day. I would love to buy the atmois wave cart, but at the same time I'd love for it to be on the DS. Especially since it's not using touch controls it's just going to be metal slug through and through.

 

Everyone's entitled to their opinions. My opinion is that SNK hasn't been the same (worth a second thought) since Playmore. 2D was SNK's signature theme. Moving to 3D is not so much a stab in the SNK's devout fanbase's back as it is whoring out their flagship titles to the masses in order to stay afloat. The fact is that there's no way SNK will ever get back onto that pedestal of brilliance. Right now SNK is in more or less the same boat as Sega, and discerning gamers just have to get over it/move on.

 

Why are there threads like this? This isn't interesting or funny. Someone just wants to get an argument I guess.

 

I Just wanted some other people's opinion on it.

I actually Like MI. the first MI I didn't care much for but MI 2 has a nice flow to it it's a blast to play on my mas sticks too. But I know I'm in a minority of people that like MI.

I find it funny none of these same complaining fans said anything when Cool Cool Toon came out .........

How is that game anyway I never did play it.

while I'm at it Halo would actually be kinda Kick ass Cel Shaded. kinda like XIII

 

You like MI? I'm sorry, I guess your opinion on any and all fighters is now null and void.

If Halo started cell shaded, that's one thing. We're talking about a complete change in art direction, thus alienating fans. Hence the backlash against Wind Waker when Nintendo unvelied it. When it was released alot of fans enjoyed it still (myself included) but many were still annoyed by the change.

However, unlike WW where the gameplay made up for the art change. MI and many recent KOF games game play does not. The games are horribly broken.

 

MI 2 not MI 1

 

My point still stands.

 

Besides the fact that MI 2's AI is stupid as hell.....what in your opinion is wrong with MI2?

 

besides EVERYTHING? the game is horribly broken.

 

And SNK have been so good with 3D before, I mean look how successful that the HYPER NEO GO 64 was. [/sarcasm]

SNK have been suffering, change a game too much and everyone says it's broken or they changed the soul of the game, leave it alone and everyone says that SNK are being lazy and they are not developing the games. They can't win really.

 

Last time someone complained about SNK fanboys, bad things happened.

 

I haven't heard much good about Metal Slug 3d. But I'll have to give it a go myself.

They're a well rounded Company hopefully the Comp of Old Neo Games for the Wii and PS2 will show this and MAYBE we'll see more variety from them if it sells well.

I love that basically the whole neo geo backlog is coming to the PS2 (and Wii too I guess) but after that then what?

 

Now thats something I cant understand: why does SNK keep a title like MS7 DS-exclusive if they arent going to use touch-based controls? plus theres the low res of the DS screen which makes the game look subpar when compared to the old AES...

In this case the PSP would be a better choice, but if what they want is to get the huge DS userbase then why dont they release the game in both consoles? wheres the point of alienating an entire side of the market? wheres the benefit?

 

If by other side of the market you mean the PSP, that's not another side...more like, a small group

if you mean the AES/MVS yeah i dont get it. probably because its' cheaper.

 

I have Faith MS7 will look good. If you need any proof DS games look better than GBA ones look no further than Mega man ZX that game has some amazing 2d work some of the best I've seen on DS or any other system for that matter.

If Capcom can do it so can SNK.

I do have a PSP as well but I can't remember the last time I actually you know played a game on it.
