SNK Playmore (The King of Fighters, Fatal Fury, Samurai Showdown, Metal Slug), has been purchased by Chinese company Leyou Technologies.
Leyou purchased 81.25% of SNK’s stock for $63.5 million, thus giving them a clear majority stake over SNK Playmore.
A key reason for Leyou Technologies' purchase of SNK is its wealth of IP and characters, which the company now hopes to expand into various different types of media including games, anime, manga, and television.

:( pretty sad what SNK has become. They used to make the most powerfull hardware for consoles and arcades.
63 million? thats nothing to what their IPs are worth. How can SONY spent their money on idiotic Exclusive third party DLC instead in this company?
Looks up Leyou Technologies on the internet.
Leyou Technologies is one of the well-known chicken meat products suppliers in Fujian and we sell our chicken meat products under the “(Sumpo)” brand
Okay chicken meat products to gaming that's weird.
Hope that means a new Metal slug is going to be developed for handhelds or consoles
