Garou is like shenmue
Everybody says that's a masterpiece yet the game bombed really bad, I still think that the game was popular, but not that popular to save SNK, I don't know if they recovered the investment, but as far as I know, a sequel of MOTW will caught some attention, at least lots of friends who are not even fighting game fans (less of SNK) had talked me about garou, or fatal fury mark of the wolves if we talk of the dreamcast
Also, for some odd reason, when I always bring friends to my house who don't like fighting games, ALL OF THEM, had enjoyed garou, I had tried with 98, SF IV, and other games, which tend to get meh, to nice reactions, yet with garou, they found it the best shit ever
It helps also that the S/P Power of Hotaru is funny as hell :D it's like the first thing that I do when I play with them and then they say ''lol, let's play some more''
So yeah, Garou (or recall it fatal fury if they release it on the western) should be the next logical option behind samurai shodown, and maybe NGBC 2, even though my hopes are not that high
