Japan has been in development on
that for months. I believe we're planning to bring it out here in May. GS: So does that mean
Metal Slug 3 is pretty much dead for PS2? BH: Yes. [Editor's note: Although Herman wouldn't elaborate
further on the Sony approval process, other sources tell GameSpot that SNK vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos likely will not be coming to the PlayStation 2 in North America.
Another of SNK Playmore's games, Samurai Shodown 5, is also in doubt for the PS2 stateside, but SNK is tweaking the game and will apparently resubmit it to SCEA for approval. ] GS: What was the reasoning behind the King of Fighters 2000/2001 double pack? You don't often see companies release fighting game compilations here in the US.
BH: Knowing we had so many King of Fighters, it was my suggestion--straight up--to put the two together, to kind of make that a bundle, a gift to our fans who had been waiting for a while. GS: King of Fighters 2003 is coming out for the NeoGeo home console soon, and Metal Slug 5 isn't that far off.

Like it or not, the name "Game Boy" is synonymous with handheld
game systems. It was like that in 1998 also. Many companies--including Atari, Sega, NEC, and Tiger Electronics--had already tried to break into the lucrative portable video game market with machines that were vastly superior to Nintendo's Game Boy line but had been outgunned where it mattered most: the software. By and large, the audience for handheld video games is younger than the audience for console games. Often, parents are buying games for their kids--and parents tend to buy what they've heard of or what their kids already like. The Atari Lynx had Steel Talons and Ms. Pac-Man. The Sega Game Gear had Sonic the Hedgehog. Take a look at the library for Nintendo's Game Boy though, and you'll run out of breath reading off all the A-list franchise titles:
Super Mario Bros. , Legend of Zelda, Metroid, Donkey Kong, Tetris, Pokemon.
