 Send to email | SNK USA Is So Not Closing Down [Rumor Smash] in BusinessJapanNewsOriginalrumor smashSnkSnk Playmore |  By Brian Ashcraft
el 13-May-2008 |  Rumors are swirling that SNK Playmore, best known for Metal Slug and The King of Fighters, is closing its US offices this summer. What's more, apparently the company is letting all American employees and officially no longer directly selling its games in the States, the Osaka-based game developer says that this is false. The company is relocating its US office. SNK Japan tells Kotaku:
It [the rumor] is not true. We are just planning to move to LA. Currently we have an office in NJ, but we should have the branch office in West Coast, because of time differences and access are much better than NJ.
Also, Ignition USA is located in LA (Marina Del Ray), so recently we have done co-publishing announcement with them.
We will keep our NJ office until 31st of December for our direct publishing in North America. Then we will move to LA. Previously as SNK NEOGEO Corporation, we had an office in LA.
[SNK founder] Mr. Eikichi Kawasaki is Chairman of SNK PLAYMORE USA. Ben Harman will retire from BOD as he is already 60 years old.
We will renew and revitalize our US corporation. We must keep our US corporation in North America. Currently we are developing KOF12 for next gen consoles, as you know. How we can close our US office? It is 10M$ project, we want US people know our passion for 2D fighting games.
We want to show that SNK is sticking to making 2D fighters and is the world leader in 2D fighters.
So there you go! SNK isn't closing its US branch and is dead serious about the US market and 2D fighters.
