There are very few game company
slogans as immediately recognizable as SNK's "The Future is Now",

SNKP's official twitter just announced that the company name will come full
circle, returning simply to "SNK" and restoring "The Future is
Now" as its official slogan! This can only be a sign of good things to
come... (Source: SNK
