From GameSpot: "Citing debt of 38 billion yen, SNK has filed for bankruptcy. Aruze Ltd., which previously acquired an interest in SNK, began closing branch offices and lightening its inventory in March. SNK had filed for debtor's exemption under the Conciliation Act but decided it would file for bankruptcy before the exemption hearings could take place."

So SNK, after leaving the International market to stay in Japan, is completely dead in Japan... Many people hopes are turned toward Capcom, which was a great partner of SNK, to get what's left of their business to continue some of their games. I'll let you know if any future word is heard from Capcom about this.
