Just finished the long read, tis well done  www.gamespot.com/features/6089278/index.htmlOhh boy, this brings back memories-  "On a humorous side note, the main figure responsible for many of the later Fatal Fury, Samurai Shodown, and King of Fighters sequels in SNK's lineup was Takashi Nishiyama, who had initially worked on Street Fighter II for Capcom! It's no wonder that arcade-goers in the 1990s would get into heated arguments about which company's characters would win fights against the other company's characters" |

Truly a magnificent history Dude! Kaz's site is in the list mentioned at the end of the article. Excellent job man! Yeah it's an awesome article, a lot longer than I thought it would be. The guy who wrote it emailed me about it a while and asked to use a couple of screenshots, and it's cool that the site is linked in there. He also credited my real name at the start of it - "Stuart Reynolds" Cheers for posting the link on the site Goemon! I was gonna do it but I just saw your post Kaz |

excerpt: "...keeps other companies on their toes..."
SNK actually made the gaming standards higher and higher so that other game companies have to keep up with it.
the whole thing was a cool read, not to mention kaz's site was mentioned in it!

I just voted in the "Which of these 2D fighting games do you like the best?" poll... Its a shame to see that even in an article about snkp history the game winning the poll is SF 2.  |
