Just so you guys know, if you preorder on Steam, you get into the beta for free.

Netcode seems good, not amazing, I only played a few matches but it felt similar to AE netcode. It was a far cry from when I played the game on PS3 and wanted to rip my face off.

I played a 3bar earlier and it felt like I was offline.. I completely forgot I was even doing netplay until I got one lag spike and I went "Oh shit that's right, this is netplay". It's really good.

Was looking in mmcafe forums, and there was a lot of weird snk related movement in those last weeks that incite people to speculate...it do indicate a change in their actions, but i'm trying to control my expectations

-by the end of last year, they created 2 twitter acconts for making contact/propaganda in japanese and english. SNKplaymore_ゲーム公式 @SNKPofficial_jp   and G-Mantle (ゲーマント) @SNKPofficial

-metal slug defense received a big update. It's freemium model...game is for free, but you can buy itens. The number of download exceeded 8 millions in july 3.

-they launched "rhythm of fighters"....it was noticed that some stages are static, with no animation but...they are in a higher resolution than in the original games. By june 27 it was the n°1 top selling app, and stayed for a week in n°2. By now it's around 13°, but they are seeling various "dlc" to unlock new tunes.

Those models do look nice, damn.  I'll take those graphics over what we got in Sen any day.  Gives me hope that we'll see SamSho 7 as a 2.5D fighter someday.

 

Good to hear SNK has been keeping busy lately.  If they're making an appearance at EVO...  Well, I'd rather not speculate at this point.  I'll definitely be keeping my eyes and ears primed for announcements, though.
