Ever since Attack on Titan started airing 10 years ago, there's been confusion between fandoms with Attack on Titan fans calling their show SnK (Shingeki no Kyojin), SNK game fans getting confused and vice versa.
Not very many people know about SNK the game company. With gamefest happening at the same time, I think this would be a good opportunity to introduce both anime and game fans to the said developer that has a 40 year legacy to its name.
I've been playing SNK games since 1990, played their Neo Geo games since 1995, and became a fan of King of Fighters and SNK games since 1999 with the ill-fated NeoGeo Pocket. Kyo Kusanagi, the protagonist from King of Fighters, was the first cosplay I ever wore. I even translated old audio drama's from 1997-1999 into english and uploaded them to youtube for public viewing: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL326nOX-D4traFZfjwtWw5jY6WYvlok9n
SNK also has a connection to anime fandom as well, with characters taking inspiration from Devilman, Getter Robo, Dragon Ball Z, and Akira the movie.
