The last game by SNK for the Neo Geo system, [[Samurai Shodown V Special]], was released on October 19, 2004. SNK decided to abandon the hardware due to the rampant piracy of games built for the system, which SNK believed was partially responsible for its bankruptcy in 2000. SNK ceased to manufacture home consoles by the end of 1997, but software for both formats and arcade hardware was produced for many years after. Measured from the introduction of the arcade hardware in 1990 to the release of the last home cartridge in 2004, the Neo Geo's 14-year official span of support from its manufacturer makes it the second longest-lived arcade or home console system ever produced Only the Atari 2600, which was supported from 1977 until 1992, had a longer lifespan. | The last game by SNK for the Neo Geo system, [[Samurai Shodown V Special]], was released on October 19, 2004.
