I've always followed SNK Playmore's website. Since I started using the internet back in 1999 and was downloading the Neo Geo ROM software to run with the emulator, it always made me visit the SNK Playmore website. Baring ROMs is illegal unless it was dumped by the user itself, which is another story.
Anyways, that urge got the better of me, so all the internet talk of the new release of SNK's games, such as SNK vs Capcom Chaos, Metal Slug 5 or Samurai Showdown X or whatever, made me hunt for people who would dump the ROMs however I knew about the official releases because of the SNK Playmore website and then see what everyone is talking about in fighting video game forums and etc. The website had really colorful graphics and art work, that make it appealing for my generation at the time, which is what I liked the most. I know I wasn't the only one. SNK always pumped out artwork upon artwork of their colorful world, which always prompted me to go back. I knew about the releases because of the main website, which is why I've always visited and never stop since.
It's nice that they continue making games for the handhelds or mobiles, knowing this by visiting the website and checking the latest news. Not that I should be learning Japanese because the Google translator takes the text into English.
Not that I'll be into downloading the ROMs, because that measures to piracy and clearly that's what they want me to do. That is to download their stuff and make me feel bad for me to buy it, seeing that I am done with ROMs. Website wise, it's nice that this big, long standing company has a website which represents them with the colorful graphics, artwork and product information for both Japanese and Western English speaking audiences. It's standard for anyone to take their time until they release the information of the products and publish them on their website.
