As most of you should know by now, SNK has withdrawn from the US, Europe and SE Asia and will only continue to publish software in Japan. All this despite the Neo Geo Pocket Colour having far better games and graphics than the GBC. The reason it didn't succeed is simply that so called "casual gamers" flocked like sheep to Nintendo's latest handheld without concidering the competition.
What really annoys me is that the same thing may happen with the PS2... despite the poor games, it will easily sell at least 1million on the first day. If gamers don't see games like Resident Evil: Code Veronica and others on the Dreamcast, they won't know any better. So here's a message to Sega- Advertise games like Metropolis Street Racer, Shenmue, and Half Life, with massive TV campaigns. Sure the Get Bass Fishing advert was nice, but why don't you spend more money on advertising mass market games like the under-rated Code Veronica. And as for online play, the adverts with the Germans are all very nice, but they fail to say that you can get a free copy of Chu Chu Rocket, and people are led to just thinking that Sega is promoting another Sonic Online Challenge!
