This little character wasn't forgotten by SNK, since he has appeared in various artwork for the company - being used in part of the Falcoon artwork for KOF 2001 (in one of his "character cards", when Li Xiangfei is playing in a Neo Geo Pocket with Neo Poke-Kun in her shoulder).
The producer of the Maximum Impact series, Falcoon, stated that the Maximum Impact games are in a different continuity from the original series of games.
