SNK (Or as they're called now, SNK Playmore.) is a company that mostly made several action and fighting games, including ''Fatal Fury'' (with one of their games having the Japanese moniker ''"Garou"''), ''Art of Fighting'', ''Samurai Shodown'' (Or as Japan calls it, Samurai Spirits.), ''The King of <s>[[Fuck]]ers</s> Fighters'', and ''Metal Slug''. Their series' have many fans, and Samurai Shodown II is one of the few games to receive acclaim from everyone who's played it, but [[Capcom]] hates their guts for some strange reason. Maybe it's because one of their characters is a ''Street Fighter'' knockoff. Their also famous for many spelling errors/Engrish (It's most notable in the game Samurai Shodown II.).

Also, they  made the Neo Geo arcade system/home console and the portable Neo Geo Pocket/Neo Geo Pocket Color. They also closed down in 2001 and then reopened in 2003 as the aforementioned SNK Playmore. They're also releasing collections of their old games on the Playstation 2, PSP, and the Nintendo Wii for some strange reason, and a few installments of their most well-known series are on the [[Wii]]'s Virtual Console, as well as the Xbox 360's Xbox Live Arcade. Their games are notable for featuring smooth, <s>low</s> high-quality animations. Most recently, they're going to release The King of Fighters XII for the Arcades (Surprisingly), Xbox 360, and Playstation 3. This means that [[Street Fighter (game)|once again,]] the [[Nintendo]] [[Wii]] gets screwed over.

*Their Neo Geo Arcades/system lasted longer then popular systems such as the NES (which lasted until 1995), the [[SEGA|Sega]] Master System (which lasted until 1996 [Europe]/1998 [Brazil]), the TurboGrafx-16 (which lasted until 1993/1999), the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive (which lasted until 1998 [Europe]/2002[Brazil]), the SNES (which lasted until 1999/2003), the Sega Saturn (which lasted until 1998), the Nintendo 64 (which lasted until 2002), and even the Sega Dreamcast and the Playstation before it bit the dust in 2004. Oh, and I almost forgot about the [[CD-i|Philips CD-i]] and the Game Boy/Game Boy Color as well.

**But it neither outlasted the Nintendo Famicom, which sold from 1983 to 2003, nor the [[Atari 2600]], which sold from 1977 to 1992 (with independent games still selling for the system to this day).

*In fact, the Neo Geo (1990-2004) was the second longest-lasting system ever (The longest-lasting system ever was the Atari 2600. (1977-1992, though with new games in production today.)).

*Sometimes, people confuse SNK as the "Neo Geo Company". Considering that they mostly k[[no]]wn for the Neo Geo brand and they're games were on that type of system brand, it's really [[no]] wonder why some people confuse them for the "Neo Geo Company".

*It took [[California|like]] 16-17 months to draw all the sprite frames for a single character in ''King of Fighters XII''. Now that takes some <u>'''true'''</u> dedication. [[no|Too bad the game sucks.]] [[Yes|Thankfully, XIII is a huge improvement.]]

*They're probably the only company to say [[shit]] in a video game and ''still'' end up with a T rating.
 
*A rumored handheld that's officially licensed by SNK is called the "Neo Geo Portable Device". It's unknown if it's just legal emulation for a handheld or it's actually going to compete with the [[Nintendo]] 3DS & PS Vita, but it looks like it'll be awesome!
 
*The Neo Geo X are all sold out :(, but luckily they managed to rise up by selling gaming apps, KoF 2012 sold more than any other import as well as Metal Slug Defense which is like Starcraft+PvZ but '''WAAAYY AWSOME'''.
 
*NEO GEO! NEO GEO! [[4|FOUR]] BRIGHT BUTTONS AND [[2|TWO]] JOYSTICKS!
 
*And [[No]], this article is '''not''' about Attack on Titan (AKA Shingeki no Kyojin in Japan.) This company had the SNK acronym long before that trashy dollar store flavour-of-the-month anime anyway.
