SNK has been involved in the popular "NEOGEO" console game series.
In addition to the "NEOGEO" and "NEOGEO CD" console games, SNK has also released the "NEOGEO POCKET" and "NEOGEO POCKET" handheld game consoles, which are famous for the song "Everybody's Gonna Ditch Their Boy". The "NEOGEO POCKET" and "NEOGEO POCKET color" are still loved by many people even after I'm not a BOY.
SNK announced on Twitter that a new product will be released in 2021 to meet the needs for console games!
WHO IS THE BEST PLAYER?
2021年、SNKから新たなゲーム機が登場します！
ゲームファンの熱意とコンソールゲームへのニーズに応える新製品にご期待ください！#SNK pic.twitter.com/DDdQZbs0Bk— SNK JAPAN (@SNKPofficial_jp) December 15, 2020
No detailed information has been released yet, but an image posted on SNK's official Twitter page shows a Wi-Fi-like icon and the sentence "WHO IS THE BEST PLAYER?
In the background, an earthy illustration with a worldwide feel can be seen.
In the upper right corner, you can see the corporate logo "SNK" and the NEOGEO logo, which suggests that this is a NEOGEO-branded console.
Online play and multiplayer?
The presence of the Wi-Fi icon on the console leads one to assume that it is a console with online and multi-player capabilities.
In fact, the "NEOGEO POCKET" peripheral has a wireless unit that can theoretically communicate with up to 64 players, making it more than 20 years ahead of its time.
(Unfortunately, the wireless unit was not a major peripheral because there were only a few compatible games and it was not suitable for fighting games due to communication speed issues...)
With the announcement of KOFXV coming in 2021, we can be sure that 2021 will be SNK's year.
Let's wait for further news.
Sorry, this article is only available in Japanese. at the moment.
