You give me too little credit my friend.
SF3A is a fine game, however, its derivitive. All games after SF2 were based on SF 2.
Now, I wonder how many KoF characters people on this forum can name, without looking them up. Now I wonder how many people on the street can name one KoF character, compared to SF2.
KoF just didn't have the popularity to be a driving force within the gaming industry, besides from a development perspective.
I'm sure KoF is touted very highly amongst hardcore fighting circles, however, there is little diversity between titles I'm sure, if its anything like Streetfighter, and new itterations, until I play them, will feel like the true nostalga cashins that Wii-haters wish Nintendo were.
The difference?
When Nintendo releases a "cashin" it's Super Mario Galaxy or Twilight Princess.
When Capcom releases a cashin it's Streetfighter 2- 2b, and its a reskin.
As for SNK, haven't known it well enough to comment, but if its compariable to streetfighter, its born from lazy development and reskins, and it can't lick Brawl's boot when it comes to consistantly creating quality games for its franchise without relying on age old content.
The SF2-SF3 upgrade is an exception of course, and is a great fighting game, and a great evolution in the series, I give you that.
I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.
NO NO, NO NO NO.
