A rumor from financial sector indicates that SNK Playmore is now closing their Pachinko business. (Their hugely successful Mobile business and their popular fighting game IP development will continue.)

It seems that Chinese company that bought off SNK Playmore decided that keeping IP clean worth more than producing money through Pachinko. The King of Fighters is very popular IP in China, for very... Complicated reasons.

In related news, apparently Japanese government is planning to introduce harsh regulation on Pachinko and related gambling business in preparation for incoming Olympic.

SEGA still have their game development team relatively intact, while Konami pretty much fired all of their talents AND Hudson's talent.

How do you feel about this?


Congratulating Konami for THIS^^^^???


Congratulation was done in sarcasm.

Most Japanese companies are digging their heels in and hoping Pachinko machines will go back to generating stupid profits but mobile pachinko has made the machines largely irrelevant.

Sega took a massive loss this year for the same reason, their game division has been in a small profit for a few quarters now, but the executives there as well are pumping out machines still, stubbornly refusing to admit that pachinko is not only at deaths door, but about to head into the crematorium oven.

Either way, I really hope SNK's Chinese new overlords are better than the buggers who have ruined them since the rebuild around 2003. They need to put some proper games out and consistently keep the quality up like they did in the late 90s.


Yeah but we are also to be blamed. We havent bought their games when they were good



Why i left PC gaming

 

(2015) Question for PS4 owners: if the situation would be reverse? would you still play on PS4?

I don't know about anyone else, but I've bought games like Sonic Generations and Metal Slug 7 ( both very good btw)!

Because sometimes, you want the selling point of the game to be the first 2160p 120fps title ever.
