Also, this deserves double post because if this turns out to be accurate, then holy shit, SNK has finally made a move that makes sense and will save them.

They should have done this ages ago

Now it's disappeared... hmmm... Don't tell me KoF isn't coming to Steam now :(

Though they're still registered if you know the ID's. I really, REALLY hope this turns out to be true, for their sake.

I never really pictured you being a big fan of SNK Jesuszilla :P

Shit like this is why people pirate.

Funny, if they did that, they'd be giving up over half their market. 360 was the budget power console; cheaper than the PS3 at its introduction, after all. By making users require an internet connection would be alienating the boonies of their current userbase.

They've been involved with less things I hate.

Just gonna point out when the 360 and PS3 were about to be announced rumors saying those systems would do the same thing were spread around.

[Jesuszilla]

It seems to be a rumor for every non-Nintendo console at this point.

That list of games that had KOF could be true as Brutal Legend which was also on that list was announced for steam.

1UP, Gamespy and UGO are all dead. If anyone even still cares about those sites.

In more decent news some actually good Zelda games are getting ported to 3DS.

Sucks about Gamespy and 1UP going down. Couldn't care less about UGO other than the fact they used to host Doomworld.

Hopefully those will be archived just like Fileplanet was. (And a good alternative to their server browsers found)

So fubarduck of Arcade UFO posted these pics from SXSW Interactive on Twitter:





I'm really not surprised if that turns out to be the case. There's nothing a console could bring to the table in the future that a PC can't, other than dedicated VR.

Nintendo lost 30.2 million in a patent dispute.
