Right now SNK don't have sufficient programmers to work on anything except Pachinko designs and the odd NGPC cart for Japan.
They are tight on cash also -as someone commented.
The Hyper 64s were bought as they are a good systems, but I ended up with more software than motherboards, so we are selling up to 500 combination sets and the rest will be held for a new game. Firstly there will be a couple of MVS games - needs must, and the money is good - we can expect a few MVS games from other developers (NON SNK backed) they will be getting their development tools in the very near future and there are some great programmers in Korea at this time, plus some great artists. For the NHG64 and MVS I am trying to secure the work of a GOD game creator to do one of the titles, but we will have to see on that one - and I am not giving any more away that that as to who he is - but it is genuine.
Once I have recapped some of the investment in the 4000 systems puchased, we will start to put the new HNG64 game together, although there are already working demos for other systems so it shouldn't take too long - and the architecture is much more user-friendly than MVS.
That's it for now - have fun with the system - it isn't dead as far as I'm concerned - nor you by the sounds of it.
