The Official NEO-GEO Thread!


Recommended Posts

SS3 is by far my favorite of the series and that boss was a nasty bastard to fight until I figured out how to wreck him in the arcade in college back in the day. I know he'd wipe the floor with me now as I rarely have time to play the cartridge now on either MVS or Gameboy.

I use to play the Playstation port of SS3 when I rented it a few times from Blockbuster videos. It was the first Neo-Geo port that I played for the unit and it was just average on what it had to offer. Too much slowdown and the load times done on just about everything you did. Graphics were fine but missed some of the important elements that the Neo-Geo version had

 

I just have it for collecting purposes these days, but that's the most it will go for me with it.

Hi guys,

 

Always interesting about the Neo-Geo, SNK and the Middle East (namely Saudi Arabia). Now SNK is again working a deal to have a Saudi fighter and the Kingdom involved for the King of Fighters from Manga Productions..

Hi guys,

 

Back again with Todd from Todd's Nerd Carve. Here we see the kind sir with another awesome purchase from Jamma Nation X. Let's see what it is and how it functions shall we. Enjoy. :)

 

From the description,

"In this video, we take a look at the replacement GOTW octogate from Jamma Nation X. This gate replaces the original square gate and may help you pull off rotational movements easier for fighting games.

 

You can purchase the GOTW from:Jamma Nation X

I forget at times how many arcade conversions the PSX got from Capcom and SNK, Saturn got the upper hand with that as did the DC. If you want to see truly fascinating stuff, watch a video of the Gameboy release of SS3. Chibi graphics, all areas, moves are intact, even has voice samples too which is surprising, a step up from SS1 also on GB.

Hi guys,

 

Since you liked my SNK RBFFS poster here is another favourite of mine: Art of Fighting 2. The game that made my jaw hit the floor when I saw it back in 1994! #SNK #ArtOfFighting2 #AOF2 #NeoGeo #RETROGAMING #TheFutureIsNowpic.twitter.com/fh8gvuPyO6

This is a brilliant video, I knew the CDZ was double speed Ive had so many arguments with people who say 'its not really double speed, its 1.5x, not 2' but Ive always argued it was 2x, I knew it was!! Brilliant video Ant!!

 

 

 

Haha! Looks exactly like my Switch. Its amazing how many Neo ports the Switch is getting its like a mini arcade unit, love it!

 

That's right Tanooki.

 

Personally, Zankuro Minazuki was my favorite boss in the Samurai Shodown series. Just one badass dude to go up against. :)

Anthony..

 

Zankuro is cool but for me I loved Amakusa that was the boss of bosses for me!! Was sooo excited when SS4 launched on CD and waiting for my copy to be delivered on launch, the wait was almost unbearable!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Really Tanooki SS3 was your favourite? Thats really strange because for me and Ive read for a lot of people 3 was there least favourite in the series so to hear somebody say thats there number 1 is mad.

For me its 4 but closely followed by 5 SPECIAL, 5S is sooo good! I really hope we get a new 2D SS game soon!

 

Ant - Ive a few Neo ports for the PlayStation but the just dont play right on SONY console and I dunno why, its not because I love the Saturn but Neo games seem to only play close to perfect on the Saturn but you cant beat playing the games on actual SNK hardware! lol

Whats all this about Ant I'm confused?

 

 

 

 

There was a lot of SNK ports for the PS1 but they played nowhere near as good as the did on SEGA hardware fact. Theres so many YT videos Ive seen where they say the PS ports are indistinguishable to the SEGA ports and Neo hardware originals and that just bo(fill this yourself)x there good games to have on the PS1, really cool to have if you collecting them but to actually play its gotta be on AES/CDZ or the Saturn or DreamCast!

Thats just my opinion of corse!

Hey

 

 

Whats all this about Ant I'm confused?

 

 

Hey Matty,

 

SNK and a Saudi Arabian establishment called Manga Productions are working in collaboration to add a new character in King of Fighters after a contest was held in the country to do so.

SNK Picks Saudi Arabian Fan’s Design In Character Design Contest

By Alistair Wong . November 5, 2017 . 3:30pm

SNK recently held a character design contest in Saudi Arabia for an unknown fighting game, and the overall winner was BMashael, with her character ‘Najd’.

Najd is a Saudi Arabian girl who uses her Abaya, which is possessed by a demon named ‘Halek’. She is calm most of the time as controlling Halek requires a lot of concentration.

The contest was held by Manga Productions, and it was said that the overall winning design would be used in a Japanese fighting game. This turned out to be an unknown game being developed by SNK, as The King of Fighters Director Oda Yasuyuki appeared in a video announcing the winner and thanking the participants.

Awesome Zeta. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

 

We can't wait to see what it looks like This will be awesome! :)

 

Anthony...

 

One thing I've learned this week: you can't play an SNK fighting game the same way you play a Capcom fighting game. They seem far more technical, you can't rely on projectiles, and the AI does not screw around, even on easy.

I got my NGCD on Monday. It is totally awesome. I'll post pics once I get all of my games. I'll have 9 total when all is said and done.

 

Awesome Zeta, Im a HUGE CD fan, although Ive a home cart system with a Neo SD fully loaded, my CDZ is the 'main attraction' in my vast console collection! Ive many many games for the CD and although some might think I outstay my welcome or comment on the thread a bit to much, I always like talking with fellow CD fans! Cant wait to see your set up/collection!! :D

SNK fighters will chew you up and spit you out if you try to play them like a CAPCOM fighter! Are you based in the UK?

Ahhh, I thought that was the case just didn't wanna sound silly! Thats awesome, so were going to get some kind of Arabian women in a future SNK fighter?

You mention KOF, so I assume by the pic and the content, a lots in Arabic this will be a fighter for KOF15?

I wish they would have kept the date system for the KOF games and as much as I think KOF14 is a fantastic 3D fighter and has really 'throw a stone' on CAPCOMs and NAMCOs lawn when it comes to competitive 3D fighters, Id LOVE to see SNK go back to there routes and do a hard core 2D fighter, maybe a bit GuiltyGear esq so we see 2D with some flash 3D effects as thats what some people may want, but a flat out hard core 2D fighter is whats needed, theres loads of series they could turn to... a new FatalFury, a new Samurai Shodown! A all new FatalFury/RealBout is what id like to see!

We know SNK have master 3D fighters KOF14 is tarring it up all over the world so Imagine fo one second if they dropped an all new 2D master piece on us?......Ahhh, Well, we can dream cant we?

So true Zeta,

 

The A.I. can be unforgiving and frustrates you to give up. What I do it study patterns of the CPU and then I work on my strategy to win. :)
