Samurai Spirits AW promises some interesting changes, although the company wouldn't delve into specifics. Metal Slug 6 will feature network compatibility. King of Fighters will have upgraded sound, graphics and gameplay as well as new characters. SNK Playmore is promising to make use of the more advanced capabilities of the Atomiswave board to give these titles features that couldn't be achieved on the Neo Geo. Getting things off to a big start on its new arcade home, SNK Playmore announced three titles for the board: The King of Fighters 2004 (tentative name), Samurai Spirits AW (tentative name) and Metal Slug 6.
So far, the board has received support mostly from Sammy itself, with Guilty Gear being the biggest name to appear thus far. Sammy's Atomiswave board, first announced two years back as a low cost arcade board solution, makes use of a scaled down version of Sega's Naomi arcade chipset. All future development from the company will take place on the Atomiswave board. As part of the deal, SNK Playmore will put an end to development on its 13-year-old Neo Geo arcade board with the next installment in the Samurai Spirits series, due for Japanese arcade release this Spring. The company revealed that it has finalized a partnership contract with Sammy.
After first announcing plans last year to develop games on Sammy's Atomiswave arcade board, SNK Playmore delved into specifics at today's AOU arcade show, now running at the Makuhari Messe convention center just outside of Tokyo.
