In case you haven't noticed, SNK is quite dead now. They refused to innovate, and continue to use their old, low-res, 16-bit based engine for their fighting games (with the exception of SvC: Chaos). And the last time I checked, Sammy owns the King of Fighters franchise, along with many other SNK brand of titles. Sammy (or rather, Arc Systems) still rules in the 2D fighting game realm, though it's too bad Capcom fired their entire arcade fighting game development staff, most of whom were hired by Sammy. Capcom had a good thing going with it's Street Fighter III graphic engine.
