Vanity? Who's Sammy? RickK 22:51, Jul 6, 2004 (UTC)

I've heard of them. They're a Japanese arcade game manufacturer. Most of the Sammy games I've seen are aimed toward small kids. Think "Chuck E. Cheese." The author should have made that lots clearer than s/he did. - Lucky 6.9 23:12, 6 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Regarding their games being kiddie-oriented; Sammy Corp's most popular games are the Guilty Gear series -- the violent 2D fighting games that invented mid-fight fatalities. They DO make a lot of "skill crane"-like games as well, but the Atomiswave is a WHOLE different thing. An article on Sammy Corporation should definitely include the kiddie games, but I don't think that discussion belongs in the Atomiswave article. Luvcraft 17:35, 7 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- I wouldn't call most of Sammy's games kid-oriented. At least not the one their Sammy Studios branch is making [1]. -- Cyrius|✎ 23:54, 6 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Ooh, me like. I've been out of the arcade loop a long time. - Lucky 6.9 00:36, 7 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Keep. It's the primary focus of a large arcade hardware manufacturer. Sammy's big enough that they bought controling interest in Sega back in May. It's definitely not vanity. -- Cyrius|✎ 23:54, 6 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Is the Sammy that you're talking about, the same as the NES era company American Sammy? Rhymeless 03:03, 7 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- No. Sammy Corporation is not related to American Sammy. Luvcraft 17:29, 7 Jul 2004 (UTC)

So, is all of this considered enough justification to keep the page and take down the vfd? 64.234.149.20 20:30, 7 Jul 2004 (UTC)

I've also heard that this arcade game platform is also the future home of The King of Fighters and other Neo-Geo games... Keep. --kelvSYC 03:14, 8 Jul 2004 (UTC)

The article seems ripped off of the linked System 16 page. Sentences such as "Notes: This is a standard dreamcast type spec, so has less power than the Sega Naomi. Inputs: Supports various types of input such as joystick, light guns, and track balls via a common interface." are stolen verbatim. Ken Arromdee 07:14, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
