04/03/28 24:30 ●A stormy month-end story!

◇Scoop! SNK is developing another new product in the series!

In addition to the previously reported titles KOF, Samusupi, and Metasura, another series title is currently under development.

If I think about it properly, is it one of the two that have been rumored for a long time, Garou MOW or Gekka?

By the way, by moving from MVS to Atomis, it seems that from now on, it will be ported to PS2/XBOX at the same time as home Neo Geo is released.

◇New aircraft will be joining “Zoids Infinity”! ＞For more information, please visit the Taito corner page

◇Namco “THE IDOLM@STER” introduction page will be opened soon

http://www.namco.co.jp/aa/ <Let's pay attention here. (There is no such page now)

◇Gref will announce something related to “Border Down” next month!

Will the DC version soundtrack be decided?

◇The developer and manufacturer of “Weapon Cop” and “Fantasy Story” is D.G Tech.

(“FS” had Z software on the title screen...?? It's currently being tested in Osaka!)

◇Cave has decided to make “Progear no Arashi” an app on the mobile site “Game Center Yokocho”!

Scheduled to start distribution on V from April 14th and i on end of April

◇What is the secret of the mysterious board "Arcade History"... *Information provided by "person who saw Location"

“Akehisu” has 50 titles packed into one board, but the number itself is over 50, and it seems that they will be replaced one after another after a certain period of time. The total number of recordings is unknown, but new titles are said to be excellent (?) with a "New" label (lol).
