GS: Editing saves the day. CO: The merger of SNK Corporation and SNK Home Entertainment Inc. was really the point at which SNK Japan had decided that the consumer product would not be as successful as it hoped. They shifted the business model at that point, and the new strategy was to market the arcade versions primarily. The home version was really more as extra income and less as SNK's featured product. Sony's PlayStation was clearly a mood changer for the
release of the NeoGeo CD. Although SNK later spent money to market the NeoGeo CD, there was definitely a
different mood around the office with this new product and lowered expectation due to Sony's machine. GS: You experienced your share of ups and downs during your time at SNK. Among them, the censored release of the home AES version of Samurai Shodown and the poorly managed US release of the NeoGeo CD unit. Can you provide some background as to why Samurai Shodown was censored in the US and what reactions were inside the company
toward selling the edited game? SNK of America didn't realize the US version of Samurai Shodown was censored until it was too late to do anything about it. CO:To be honest, we didn't know that Samurai Shodown was edited until it was too late to do anything about it.
