Honestly, I still don't get why people is expecting inevitably that Capcom will pick up the game, gave it a better treatement and put KOF in the map. The company has more important franchises to explot and live up than any of SNK ones, if they ever wanted something about SNK, will be the license for a CVS3, I don't believe all the mental faps that people thinks that Capcom will not only launch KOF, but also revive fatal fury or even ikari warriors lol.Hell, only with SF and all his variations they are served for life, and if they ever wanted another fighting game, they still had darkstalkers or maybe rival schools. Capcom will pick the license, launch CVS 3, and they will never mention SNK again
The only hope is that some smaller company licensed the game and has some interest in the arcade scene, which is by far KOF strongest point, and maybe hoping for a more niche game
But I still had some hope that Ryo Mizufune isn't that stupid to realize that with some investment and better decisions, KOF would give them big money.
Also I blaming the UM sucess, this 2 games demonstrated that they could have games that were cheap as hell and still were more played that lots of big productions in the arcades, the console market is another story
