Launched in June last year, the Piepacker service has just announced a partnership with the company SNK, which everyone knows for having created the NeoGeo in the early 90s. popularity, the retro game streaming platform will therefore enrich its catalog with several titles that made the success of the old Rolls Royces of consoles. Since March 10, you can enjoy Metal Slug, Metal Slug X, Samurai Shodown IV, KOF ’98, The Last Blade 2 and Baseball Stars 2, while you’ll have to wait until March 24 to put get your hands on Real Bout Fatal Futy Special, Last Resort, and Shock Troopers. Of course, other games will arrive later, but this first draft shows the desire to offer the best titles from the outset. Moreover, know that the excellent Rage of the Dragons, unavailable on NeoGeo Mini or all the retro devices stamped NeoGeo that stand out, has already appeared on Piepacker. In any case, at SNK and in particular its CEO Kenji Matsubara, we are delighted with this collaboration which highlights retro games.
It’s exciting to partner with Piepacker. Glad to see the return of SNK classics, Piepacker is a young and passionate platformer with lots of potential. I hope that Piepacker players will enjoy the games and above all, that they will have fun!
Otherwise, for those who discover the existence of Piepacker with this brief, know that this so-called “social-gaming” platform was born from the imagination of two French people: Benjamin Devienne and Jules Testard. First created in the United States in Silicon Valley, the company was subsequently relocated to France, following the success of its Kickstarter campaign which raised more than $220,000. The idea behind this project is to allow anyone to play these favorite retro games, from Worms, Eaethworm Jim 2, Magical Drop, Micro Maniacs Racing or even Glue and Dragon View. The great feature is that you don’t need to have a device, just go to your Internet browser via beta.piepacker.com and play directly, without any constraints.
