Posted by SignOfZeta on December 20, 2018 at 15:24:18 EST in reply to I assume everyone knew this already, but SNK 40th Anniversary Collection is out, and I wrote the museum text again. All the DLC is out now, so it's quite a few games in there, but I'll admit a lot of them do feel pretty old. Beast Busters, Bermuda Triangle, Crystalis and some others are pretty cool though, and for me it was pretty interesting just seeing where a lot of that SNK ethos came from... they really were innovating even at that early stage, which I guess is how they got to eventually make the Neo Geo. I had lots of conversations with former staff that didn't make it into the final game, like... I met with two people and took a walking tour in Esaka of all the former SNK locations. They could identify which windows each team worked in, from the outside! It was all pretty neat. Anyway, if you wind up getting it please read the museum stuff! (n/t) from exodus.
I have it but I’ve only read the book so far. I believe I’ve conned the grandparents into buying my kid a Switch so soon I’ll hopefully be able to play it. I’m very interested in almost every aspect of this release. If you do some other kind of data dump of your SNK history work let us know. I wish I could take you on a tour of the bijou theater turned arcade/bowling alley where I played Ikari back in the day but it’s a fucking Walgreens now.
