Evan you fucking retard.
Whoops
Evan you fucking retard.
fuck a paddle. punish him with hellfire and corrosion
you are fucking insane.
RPGs just didn't make sense for the console at the time. It was sold as a multi game arcade system to arcades, a home arcade system to AES owners and an affordable AES alternative with the NGCD. They focused on making arcade games that could eat through a pocket of quarters and bring the player back for more.
You want a good action RPG from SNK? Crystalis for NES was fantastic. Would not have done well as an arcade game. Even with memory card support. As for the home system? In that era, the SNES was an RPG powerhouse that released countless epics. Who could compete with that? It would have been, without a doubt, a money losing venture.
But if you are asking if it would be cool if SNK decided to focus on making games for dead hardware but not the games that drew people to that console to begin with, you are fucking insane.
Is Sacnoth the same as SNK? They developed Faselei! and Koudelka, but Koudelka ended up as spawning the Shadow Hearts series.
good point man. but OP's horizon is too limited to get itI hear what you're saying, but SNK actually was actively trying to branch out into other genres; one of which was indeed rpgs. [...] If one of their portable or console rpg ventures had taken off, who knows where titles like Dark Arms: Beast Busters, Faselei!, Koudelka, Memories Off Pure, Card Fighters, Unitron, etc could have ended up today.

Are there any rpgs from SNK that anyone feels stood the test of time? Card Fighters is still a lot of fun imho and it would have indeed been cool to have seen that game on one of the neo home consoles back then.
Crystalis is legit.
Unrelated, but I'm reminded of StarTropics too which I love.
Crystalis. My favirite NES game. My favorits game of all time.

Crystalis is indeed awesome. I was surprised that Crystalis was never expanded upon on the neo geo pocket color. The gameboy color did eventually received a port of the game though.
I don't recall ever seeing this game back then, and only began to hear about it fairly recently. Is it really that good Sylvie?
Biomotor Unitron, Faselei, Beast Busters... so much fun to be had on the NGPC.Are there any rpgs from SNK that anyone feels stood the test of time?

Medabots?
