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 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?
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.
