SNK today announced the establishment of VS Studio SNK, a newly founded game development studio led by industry veteran Katsuhiro Harada. SNK has invested in the studio, bringing it into the group as a consolidated subsidiary, with both companies set to collaborate on game software development.
Harada spent 31 years at Namco, where he helped shape the fighting game genre and championed the global community that gave rise to today’s e-sports culture. Now, with VS Studio SNK, he’s channeling that experience into a studio built on the philosophy “Beyond tradition, crafted to perfection.”
Can SNK pleasd buy Nagoshi Studio and Studio Flare from NetEase next fund their projects.
Would love that but Saudi’s buying Capcom for sure maybe they got money for all hope so 🤑🤑🤑🤑
Please!!!! That new Stranger Than Heaven trailer upset me the retcons to Yakuza are so bad ruining what made be love the original they ruined Majima and Kiryu. Supposedly Kiryu’s dad will be a Tojo clan member instead of some civillian that Kazama killed and they may be mixed now. More reason I need Gang Of Dragon a based game. Same with BlazBlue miss it and it was better than Guilty Gear modern ArcSys is trash to me.
Tekken got worse under him I hope he’s restricted. He wanted to have Colonel Sanders as a guest. Harada did not create Tekken Seiichi Ishii created it, and I would argue e-sports fighting games pioneer was more Tomonobu Itagaki and Dead Or Alive not Harada. I do wonder if Shimbori is joining him after leaving Bandai Namco before him. Maximium Impact 3 and Buriki One 2 could happen now. Watch the usual suspect cancel him over this Maximillian Dood, Sajam, Mighty Queef, and others.
Wait he wanted colonel sanders? That’s awesome!!!
Honestly sounds awful. But KFC said no that’s why it didn’t happen. He also tried to get Waffle House as a stage because of stupid FGC millennial memes but they didn’t pick up the phone. If Tifa is in SF6 that raises the question who is the final character of season 3 Tekken 8? Can she be in both? Harada implied another FF guest wasn’t out the question so Cloud? 2 Sword FF characters would cause chaos. Yujiro Hanma would have been perfect but if Buriki One 2 can happen now save the Baki crossover for that game.
He wanted Trump too. Personally I like Trump. But are there more important guests yes and wasting spots and money on meme crap was something people didn’t like. Bad story too and trolling.
All frauds they take Saudi money, zionist money, and CCP money all fake activists. Sajam was on commentary for a tournament backed by Saudi money despite boycotting EVO iver Saudi ownership. It comes across more like islamophobia more than anything from woke millennial leftists wel Max is Gen X.
I’ve never played Tekken but I would have unironically bought it and probably became a fan if they added Colonel Sanders lmao, that sounds amazing
Sounds awful to me but KFC said no that’s why they didn’t want him assaulting people. Harada also wanted to put Trump in the game.
The issue is people want other characters and he did this ovee getting those like Yujiro Hanma, Kiryu, Majima, All Might, things like that. It seemed like he wanted it to be a meme game. The story also made no sense in the end with his lie on Heihachi
Max is a POS he used Justin Wong then when Justin got cancelled for being in Saudi Arabia said nothing. The guy along with Matt McMuscles lied on Itagaki spreading so many lies about the man then tried to play nice when he died scumbags he also lied on Ronaldo for some reason? Like he hates him too? I guess he doesn’t know the world especially Ishowspeed loves Ronaldo. Harada should go take a picture with Ronaldo to piss off Max SUI!!!!!
He’s such a 💩 he is lying claiming the Saudi’s have no money and will kill gaming yet here Harada is signing with them. He’s trying to gaslight and manipulate as always I hope they blacklist him so he can’t ruin this like he does other games. Max openly tries to kill things that don’t allign with his agenda then as a near 50 year old man will try to use excuses only a spoiled child would make for bad behavior and hypocrisy specifically when he virtue signals then does the opposite mocking people for liking different things claiming it’s ok because that’s his “kink” is shaming people. I won’t forget him crying ovee allegations proven false against Ronaldo or Itagaki as well saying SA triggers him but he loved the SA scene in Andor? Also remember him claiming to be the president of the Bible Black fanclub. These people are sick and don’t realize the damage they caused to society messing with people’s heads and sense of morality. But he has tried to get Dragon Ball games to tank despite not liking it as a IP because FighterZ got him clicks, he tried to kill FighterZ because that fandom would roast him and downvote his videos. He is super entitled the Mortal Kombat crowd call him out to for openly bashing their franchise then bandwagoning on it he now lies pretending he never shilled Mortal Kombat 1 a game he called the best Mortal Kombat now claiming it retold the PS2 games which is a blatant lie. He really acts like a know it all ahole and pisses off so many then plays victim. His radical audience needs to demand he boycott this and all games given their stance he’d listen he avoided Fatal Fury for a while because of them now ended his EVO partnership. I hope the Saudi’s buy Nintendo and Capcom next. Actually he hated on Zelda too just because his friends in the media hated it the guy is a scumbag he and his friends.
He also wanted to put Trump in the game for Tekken 7 I think. Personally wouldn’t have an issue with that if it was the AI Trumpman meme. Now it’s more likely given he’s now with the Saudi’s and like most Japanese I assume he’s a Trumper too. Still want a new Def Jam or spiritual successor to have Ye in a game.
Hopefully he doesn’t ruin SNK like he did Bandai Namco. He was not the creator of Tekken or main person until 6 or 7 qhwre things got rocky. Hopefully we get SNK and DOA crossovers still Terry would be great in DOA and Kasumi in a new Maximum Impact.
Who is making Dead Or Alive 7? Harada now at SNK so I’m still hoping it’s Platinum with the Kamen Rider Geats team on story. I do nof trust Team Ninja. Wouldn’t trust Harada either after Tekken 8.
This is a surprise but when you think about it it makes sense. A lot of Tekken players are Muslim the best player is Arslan Ash and SNK the whole reason MBS bought it is because he grew up with it and it’s popular in the Middle East so this makes sense same reason why Kenshiro is in Fatal Fury the anime was huge in the Middle East same with the Grendizer theme park. I can see Tekken players abandon Tekken for whatever he makes. Just 1 thing DO NOT let Harada write the story after Tekken 8 we know he is no writer hire a good story lead. My guess Maximum Impact 3 is happening but Buriki One coming back would be great too. Dead Or Alive guests for Maximum Impact 3!!!!
Already the amount of lies being spread on the Saudi’s is crazy from woke losers and zionists media. Attacking this mkst already don’t play the games so don’t complain if you have such high morals then don’t buy it then again you support all you supposedly hate. Twitter the biggest example claimed they’d quit over Musk but spend 24 hours on that site ranting. All you woke idiots stand on business stop gaming you hate AI all companies use it, you hate the rich they fund this, you hate a country for values they fund the games. Same goes for social media. Hope we get quality 3D SNK fighters. Been waiting for them to expand too…
Why are you all talking about politics and crap? It literally sounds like one person keeps changing their name and they are replying to themselves.
Gaming is politics most people boycott or tell you not to support this ever since the 2010s when they do the opppsote. The funding comes from political entities. The issue is when people virtue signal in one direction and do the other. It should be called out they do launch hate campaigns on things all the time but avoid it for things they’re tied to financially or just like.
Were you trying to make me laugh?
It has to be said becausw the zionist media and certain people for their wgis and political stances more so ego want to see a country fail and go under because it doesn’t allign with their views so they feel it should do bad and be hated because of that. They have no respect and want to colonize despite preaching the opposite to take away people’s islamic beliefs. The country wants to expand and give oppurtunities to middle eastern people in the creative field but they wish bad upon it. Maximillian Dood openly hoping for the downfall of this because Saudi’s claiming they’ll pull funding just because low sales? Yet that’s any company. He and media outlets lie saying they have no money and are nor spending then a month later they spend another 5 billion on a developer that makes back the money in a year or so. All of that and political slander of the Saudi’s is the issue as well as the hypocrisy of “I don’t like government backed things” when government money fuels everything venture capital firms take money from all over especially Israel and the Chinese government too with Tencent and NetEase yet no one bats an eye. The Israeli and Chinese governments commit acts worse than anything seen before actual genocide but these same people claiming Saudi is bad cover thst up and take money from those entities to promote their products and in many cases agenda. Very funny given these same people promote anti capitalism not just influencers but the people making games, tv, movies, music, social media, etc. That’s why it gets political and hostile in many cases the gaslighting and manipulation. I personally hope the Saudi’s buy it all then these people will have to shut up. Influencer wise I think they are just mad they are losing control of things.
Bandai Namco is a walking L. Over 5 years and still no Jump Force. SNK get all the licenses and have CyberConnect2 make the game a Shonen Jump crossover with all of them including Shaman King, Kinnikuman, Cobra, every series from Weekly Shonen Jump.
Rooflemonger been spreading lies saying it’s independent just funded by SNK even though their name is at the bottom and they told Harada “welcome to the family” I think he doesn’t understand the meaning. They mean independent similar to how Bungie was “independent” of Sony. Keeping more freedom. But he’s already saying he’ll work on SNK IP and having those discussions so it is happening.
