This is a lot to process! I hope whatever happens with Neo Geo 2 and 3 will be well thought out and not garbage like the mini and X. Lately I feel like the owners of SNK are just trying to milk the cow dry. I wonder if the new console would be cd based, cartridge based or purely digital download like the new Xbox coming out? It would be be awesome if it took cartridges and was backwards compatible with original AES games! Either way its hard not to get excited with news like this.

Hi guys,

 

 

 

SNK, next is 'Neo Geo 2' and 'Metal Slug' IP

Views 16 898 | Ruri Web | Input 2019.04.16 (13:52:23)

 

 

On the 16th, SNK held an enterprise briefing session at Studio # 5, Conrad Seoul Hotel, 6th floor, located in Youngdeungpo-gu. In addition to its IP licensing business, the company, which has a popular IP, is promoting console, PC mobile game development and publishing, and IP-based merchandising. It is the second IPO listing challenge after the IPO press conference in December last year.

"We want to make it possible for gamers to be a game company that provides better games," said SNK's CEO, who is in charge of the presentation. "In the past three years, Korean mobile game companies have been facing a difficult situation, In the meantime, SNK could continue to grow. "

snk2.jpg

Because I already had an IPO reporter conference ( https://bbs.ruliweb.com/news/read/116117 ), this time I started to emphasize IP power. KOF '98 UM, which has annual sales of 200 billion won, KOF 's all - star, KOF: Destiny and Net - Marble, which brought in the most new users in the first month, And Samurai Shodownun M, which achieved the top spot in Wichat's sales, and will share 10% ~ 12% of the total revenue.

In this part, former representative, "SNK game is not a memory arm, but some people revive the IP to service a new game is not easy, and KOF IP three games over the past three years, but the same IP, but each time The genres are different, and the graphics are evolving. "" In the case of Samurai Shodown, the MMORPG genre was successful. "

snk7.jpg

In particular, the number of IP contracts before July 2016 was 10, but the number of IP contracts since August 2016 is 28, and 8 contracts have been concluded only in the first half of 2019.

snk8.jpg

The next release was the console game "Samurai Showdown", which was previously released in GDC and Japan. This work, which is being made using Unreal Engine, has brought the graphics quality to a level that can be recognized globally and will be released in Korea on June 27th with PS4 and Xbox One. Former president predicted that the game would be the game that opens the future of SNK.

snk9.jpg

However, IP licensing game, which is the driving force of sales growth, is still taking a high place in the new pipeline. In July 2018, 5 new IPs, 9 new IPs in July 2019, and 9 new IPs in July 2020 And VRs and block chains are also receiving offers for IP. The sales volume of Neo Geomini is also more than expected, so we are planning Neo Geo 2 and Neo Geo 3.

snk10.jpg

The company plans to achieve high sales without development, marketing, and human resources investments in the IP licensing business. Rapidly growing from July sales of KRW 4.1 billion in July 2018 to KRW 38.2 billion in July 2018.

snk11.jpg

snk12.jpg

SNK, which is collaborating with big publishers such as Netmarble and Tencent, plans to expand its IP licensing games globally across Asia, China, and Japan. In 2020, Tencent's Metal Slug mobile game will be launched soon after the sale of foreign games. The former CEO stressed that the ROE of major global game companies declined from 2016 to 2017 thanks to this structure, but that SNK achieved high growth.

snk13.jpg

snk14.jpg

The localization strategy is to expand the base for Asian emerging markets such as Taiwan and Vietnam, to enter the IP licensing business, the KOF All Star, the Samurai Showdown M and the Endream's KOF (tentative name), and strengthen the Chinese business through collaboration with major publishers. Summarized. In particular, after the establishment of a Korean corporation, sales increased from KRW 4.5 billion to KRW 18.7 billion. Unlike before, local corporations were able to jump into sales and planning to accelerate growth.

snk15.jpg

The future growth strategy is vertical integration through the existing stable license of the first stage live game, the second stage IP licensing and self-developed game, maximizing IP power through M & A of the third stage IP holder, and M & A of the fourth stage game developer. "SNK was a loss-making company at the time of the acquisition, but it succeeded in making a turnaround with IP alone," said Jeon, who said, "We will actively take M & A deals with IP holders through open- "There are about 180 SNK employees, and we will strengthen our support for the development workforce so that we can show two console games each year," he added.

snk16.jpg

Currently, SNK is headed by a co-CEO of SNK, who has transferred to SNK from SNK in July 2017 through NHK China and Zippax, Bye Technology and Cacao China, and 433 China. "Although other Japanese game companies have offices in Korea and China, SNK is co-chaired by Japan's Koichi Toyama, and Taiwan's IT industry specialist is appointed in Taiwan. I'm working for the branch office. "

snk17.jpg

snk18.jpg

In the case of IP-based contents business such as Animation and Goodies, it has stayed at 2 billion won in the past, but Neo Geomini has made a sales close to its goal of 20 billion won.

snk19.jpg

Last but not least, SNK, which had more than 200 IPs, seemed to be able to turn around, despite the fact that the deficit of 11.3 billion won in 2015 was enough, If you succeed in the IPO, you will see the second and third SNK. "

snk21.jpg

NH Investment & Securities and Mirae Asset Daewoo will hold a total of 4.2 million DR shares. The allocation ratio is 80% for institutional investors and 20% for general investors. The preferred bid price is 30,800 won to 40,400 won, and the market cap is expected to reach 669.3 billion won The billing schedule is April 17 to 18, demand date is 23 to 24, delivery date is 26, and the expected date of commencement is May 7.

"I do not want to collect money from Korea because of the unusual structure of the company, but I want to be a model company in the Korean market," he said.

snk20.jpg

Below is a summary of the question and answer with the vice president Kim Seon-jin,

● By January 2019, net profit rose sharply to 24.6 billion won. What are the earnings improvement factors?

I: The biggest reason is that it includes the Chinese samurai Showdown M sales for two months, and the net slip of KOF All Star and Ikor in the future, and Samurai Showdown for console, which has gained a bigger response in North America and Europe, Will rise.

● I have said that the contract amount per case has risen by 14%. What is the standard and what is the future direction?

I: As demand grows, contracts have risen more this year, and 14% are average. The Chinese government has said that it will give it a pay-as-you-go policy in the future, and it has turned its direction to service a game of good quality, and more offers are coming in. Currently, about 80 billion won out of sales of 145 billion won is IP license sales.

● Even if we lower the offer price, it is still high. Are you confident of listing this year?

I: It is 9 to 10 times lower than the P / E if we continue to grow.

● Samurai Shodownun M failed in the domestic box office, and the KOF All Star's sales in Japan were not long-term. What are your efforts to improve this perception?

I'm :The market that Netmarble sees as main is global including Korea including Japan, and the Japan open strategy itself does not proceed with CBT. So I was forced to do the localization work for 10 months, but it is expected to make a lot of profit in the global market like Marble Future Fight by adding new content while supplementing the problem. In the case of Samurai Shodownun M, there are three versions in detail, and the 19-year version, the one-store version, and the 12-year version, which can deal with items, are generated to generate billions of sales and are also capable of long-term operation.

● Although the KOSDAQ situation was not good in December last year, I can not deny that the price was too high. Even now, if I take it to the top, I will go beyond Webzen. If Bend falls below the bottom, do you intend to do the listing? Or are you going to watch the market?

I: I want to emphasize that net profit is high, and there is no company with profit structure similar to ours in Korea. Webzen has only one IP, and we have over 200 IPs covering the console area, which is difficult for Korean companies to access. In fact, SNK, which has been selling well in North America and Europe in the 90s, is a company that could be a little more successful. It is difficult to talk about the progress of the listing because it needs to discuss with other people in the company.

● How much is domestic sales of Neo Geomini? And the Neo Geo 2 and 3 mentioned above mean Neo Geo Mini's successor?

Kim: Domestic sales have remained at the level of several million units. Neo Geo 2 and 3 are not the followers of Mini.

● We are also in the process of hardware business. Do you plan to have a publishing organization in the future?

Kim: Because of cost issues, there is no plan to equip the publishing organization. The hardware side is turning development and distribution outsourcing.

● Is Neo-Geo 2 the successor of Neo Geomini?

Kim: I can not comment on details, but Neo Geo 2 will be in the middle of an open platform with Neo Geomini in a closed form.

● KOF, Samurai Shodown Next is likely to be Metal Slug IP.

Kim: Yes. Metal Slug is the most anticipated mobile game under development by Tiny Studio, a subsidiary of Tencent. Apart from this, Metal Slug based console game is also under development. In addition, SNK Heroines, which sold 300,000 units in the global market, will also use their IP-based derivatives strategy. In fact, some companies have already inquired about SNK heroes IP.

Hi guys,

 

Back with madlittlepixel regarding the new news on the Neo-Geo console and the Metal Slug game. Enjoy. :)

 

From the description,

"A new Neo Geo console has been announced, or at least spoken about in a Investor Relations meeting with SNK in Seoul, South Korea! They also revealed a new Metal Slug is in the works and it sounds like it will be released for this new console and other platforms! Very interesting stuff! "

I'm going to guess that the 2 new Neo's are going to be a Neo Geo CD mini of some sorts and perhaps an updated form of MVS for current arcade hardware like Exa-Arcadia or Nesica2. I can't see them making an original new console ever again and about 90% of the original Neo Geo games are on current hardware via Hamster's Arcade Archives series. The ones that haven't been released are essentially blocked by licensing issues (Viewpoint, Neo Drift Out, Success Joe, Eight Man etc)

 

A new Metal Slug is always interesting but the last really good one was 20 years ago so I'll keep my hopes in check until some real info is released. It could be another Metal Slug 3D or another mobile game

Thought: Is it possible that, as our classic console age and fans gradually accept the tradeoffs of emulation over original hardware... that Neo Geo fans are possibly the slowest to accept this transition? Meaning, NG fans are more attached to their original hardware than fans of Atari, Nintendo, and Sega?

It would be be awesome if it took cartridges and was backwards compatible with original AES games! Either way its hard not to get excited with news like this.

I agree Mike. It's tough to process this and trying to get the basic understanding since this was all done in South Korea interestingly. Hopefully more news will be more understandable and will get better details regarding it. Thank you for stopping by to see it. :)

So true bro. I personally want to see how this new hardware from SNK is going to workout. It sounds great an all, but going to surpass the original Neo-Geo is going to be some big shoes to fill. But maybe it will. As for Metal Slug, looking forward on playing that. :)

I have to agree Aaron. I mean, I will have to say out of all, I feel that the slowest to accept emulation would be for the Neo-Geo. But I do accept it even if it means by getting more new members to appreciate the Neo-Geo by going the emulation route. It's a start in the right direction to hopefully guide them to buy original hardware. Thank you for stopping by to see this bro. :)
