Ignition Entertainment and SNK/Playmore Sign Co-Publishing Contract

There's a whole lot of moving and shaking going on in the industry at the moment. No doubt you've heard a little something about Take Two and EA, but what about other companies? Well, perhaps not as groundbreaking or as “rumortastic” as that story, but Ignition Entertainment and SNK/Playmore have come to a co-publishing agreement for North America. Since the two have been working together in Europe for years, they figured that now was the best time to tackle the North American market.

"We are very happy to be working further with Ignition Entertainment, as we currently have a very positive, trusting and prosperous relationship," said Soichiro Hosoya, Member of the Board of SNK PLAYMORE CORPORATION. "I have no doubt in my mind that our new cooperative venture will be very worthwhile and rewarding for everyone involved."
 
"This is a fantastic opportunity. We are extremely excited to be able to bring SNK products to the North American market," said Ajay Chadha, President of Ignition Entertainment. "Our rapid growth shows our commitment for what we do, and this partnership brings in a new era for our company. We welcome this great union between SNK and Ignition."

Only good things can come out of this partnership! Samurai Shodown in HD anyone?
