																				| Dear 
																					All 
																					NEOGEO 
																					fans/customers, 
																					It 
																					is 
																					with 
																					deepest 
																					grief 
																					that 
																					In 
																					the 
																					Autumn 
																					of 
																					2001, 
																					SNK 
																					will 
																					close 
																					the 
																					company 
																					history 
																					in 
																					its 
																					business. 
																					It 
																					was 
																					all 
																					of 
																					your 
																					favor 
																					and 
																					encouragement 
																					which 
																					made 
																					our 
																					passion 
																					running 
																					to 
																					make 
																					better 
																					games 
																					for 
																					SNK 
																					fans. 
																					We'd 
																					like 
																					to 
																					take 
																					this 
																					opportunity 
																					to 
																					thank 
																					and 
																					everyone 
																					of 
																					you 
																					for 
																					your 
																					continuous 
																					help 
																					and 
																					assistance 
																					rendered 
																					to 
																					SNK 
																					since 
																					its 
																					inocorporation 
																					in 
																					Japan 
																					July 
																					in 
																					1978. 
																					Without 
																					your 
																					support, 
																					SNK 
																					Corporaton 
																					would 
																					not 
																					have 
																					been 
																					possible 
																					throughout 
																					23 
																					yers 
																					of 
																					operation. 
																					With 
																					all 
																					our 
																					heart-felt 
																					gratitude, 
																					thank 
																					you 
																					once 
																					again 
																					! | 
																			 
																		 
																		 
																			As 
																			a 
																			farewell 
																			gift, 
																			SNK 
																			has 
																			prepared 
																			an 
																			all-time 
																			cast 
																			wallpaper, 
																			featuring 
																			gane 
																			characters 
																			from 
																			its 
																			23 
																			years 
																			of 
																			history. 
																			 
																			Special 
																			thanks 
																			to 
																			Chupiler 
																			for 
																			the 
																			news. 
																			 
																			Short 
																			Comment- 
																			It 
																			wasn't 
																			too 
																			hard 
																			to 
																			forcast 
																			this 
																			from 
																			happening, 
																			but 
																			it's 
																			still 
																			traumatic 
																			to 
																			experience 
																			SNK's 
																			closedown. 
																			That's 
																			not 
																			to 
																			say 
																			that 
																			I'll 
																			be 
																			eagerly 
																			looking 
																			to 
																			what 
																			will 
																			be 
																			happening 
																			with 
																			their 
																			intellectual 
																			properties 
																			in 
																			the 
																			future.
