+Charlie Cat Posted February 6, 2016 Author Share Posted February 6, 2016 Hey guys. Has anyone seen those Pandora's box 4's? Interested in buying one (which may be hard as I refuse to buy from aliexpress since they sell cc info). But I like what it offers and the price is hard to beat. Someone is selling one with a supergun / two player joystick and I have to say ....I want it haha. Hi Alex, I heard of it, but with mixed reviews . But $80 dollars does sound like a steal, I'll post some videos to see if it will boost your confidence level on purchasing one! Anthony...

RetroGamingBlog Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Hi there all, Here's a short snippet of Blue's Journey on the MVS. There's also a quick peak at the CMVS I reviewed way back. The setup for broadcast is somewhat convoluted. My current broadcasts will consist of the Neo Geo X with some commentary much like this, as always they'll be snippets exported to YouTube. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The setup for broadcast is somewhat convoluted. My current broadcasts will consist of the Neo Geo X with some commentary much like this, as always they'll be snippets exported to YouTube. Thank you Ash for posting your Blues Journey video. I personally like your type of style with others do their streams when you can see the game, the player and the comment section all at the same time. Blue's Journey is from the humble days of the Neo-Geo that i always reminisce on retracing the its days when it was starting out. So much potential for its time that shows it to this day. If your interested, 2 companies are making new titles for the Neo-Geo AES and MVS. The first one is a German developer called NGDEVTEAM and the second is an American developer called Neobitz. I'll provide you both links to see more from them for you. http://ngdevteam.com/ http://neobitz.com/KnightsChance I posted these before. Here is my pictures regarding there games that was available just recently for the Neo-Geo. These are the AES versions. From NGDEVTEAM, Gunlord CE. Fast Striker LE (due to prolong development, Ng Dev added additional goods for waiting time). Neo XYX LE. Last Hope Pink Bullets LE. Razion CE. From Neobitz, Knight's Chance . Cart No.#100/100 Crossed Swords II. I have the 2nd print of Crossed Swords II that I will take a picture and show it to Jeff Kurtz at Neobitz's Facebook page. NG Dev Team already has it up on FB and Twitter regarding their titles! Anthony... Attached Thumbnails Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetroGamingBlog Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 (edited) Oh boy! I'm very aware of these companies. I could never afford the prices but when I could they were sold out I was really keen to get a copy of Knight's Chance and Crissed Swords 2. As I don't own the NGCD I'm sure it'll be a lot of luck before I see it. What I'd really like to get is an mvs version of Ironclad that was on the Wii - but that's few and far between also. What did you make of NG:DEV works? I'm still not so sure with Gunlord etc, because I feel such a strong love for Turrican which this looks to be based on. I need to play to form a proper valid opinion. More games for MVS is never a bad thing though Edited February 6, 2016 by RetroGamingBlog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More games for MVS is never a bad thing though Hi Ash, My favorite so far out of all 5 is Gunlord. its was an excellent game and great tribute to Turrican. Seeing that you enjoy Turrican, Gunlord will be to your liking. Overall NG Dev teams games are worth purchasing and you'll enjoy them. Timm Hellwig has been hinting that a Gunlord 2 is quite possible in the future. I would love to get my hands on a copy like that! As for Neobitz, same thing! Great game with Knight's Chance and that was a fun gambling title in which you never seen on the Neo with a medieval touch to it. Crossed Swords II is amazing with the help of Razoola and Jeff Kurtz making it all possible for us to enjoy! Neobitz is currently working on an upcoming title as we speck. more information will be announced soon! One of our active members named Jarrod from Project COE was the first to show a review of Knight's Change for the MVS. If you like, I can post it for you. He did an excellent review that will be to your liking! Anthony... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked the character select music and the graphic display on the background stages which is amazing during the garden and airport stages. Still, I feel that KOF '98 is a better title. But 99 is a fun title that also has great artwork for the characters as well! Its up there with my top King of Fighters list with 98 and XIII. Thank you as always Aaron. Keep up the great work!

KreatorKat Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Hi everyone! I just thinking about something I thought I'd post here. Anthony had asked me if I had any memories with the Neo Geo, and that got me thinking about just that. The short answer is I don't. I had only heard of the Neo Geo for a long time and didn't know much about it. I many have played on MVS unit before, but I'm not sure. I knew much more about the AES, but I thought of it is a holy grail console that had games the cost a fortune that were great but extremely rare. What I have always wanted however was an arcade cabinet. I also thought of owning a cabinet as a "holy grail" of sorts and I didn't know that it was really possible to acquire one. When I found out if I really put in some time and effort I could have one I was amazed! I immediately thought about what kind of unit I might want. I quickly thought of common games that I always enjoyed like Pac-Man and Donkey Kong. But I quickly realized once the novelty of an arcade machine wore off, I was paying a lot of money for only one game if I bought a normal cabinet. This is when I came across the Neo Geo again. A cabinet that had interchangeable cartridges was perfect! I quickly found that there were many great games on the MVS I had completely overlooked because of the prices of their AES counterparts. I can't wait to play Blue's Journey, Bust-A-Move, Metal Slug, Windjammers, King of Fighters, and many other fantastic games on real hardware and a legitimate arcade machine. So there's my story. A bit different than you might expect, but everyone takes their own path . Thanks for reading a full paragraph of my ramblings!

KreatorKat My earliest memories were seeing the adverts for the console and games in NRG. NRG was a stockist only and you'd order via telephone. It was great for imports. The games for Neo Geo seemed insanely expensive, that was when i became first aware. I read about all the games in Mean Machines' UK magazine, but I never felt left out as I had a Megadrive. I frequented the arcades a lot, and I'd always played Samurai Shodown and Metal Slug. The brutal advertising campaigns they ran were very memorable. Gamesmaster started life as a UK show under Newland productions and they also showed some Neo Geo games, far few and between, but when they broadcast boy did it look amazing! Only over the last 2 years have I actively started bringing the Neo games into my home on their hardware. I support SNKP where possible through steam and online sales because I have a huge respect for their company ethos and I would like to see them push some quality games out today. That doesn't look likely to me yet, but I hope to be proved wrong! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not too familiar of with many of the UK's popular video game media or video game publications. But seeing that they were considered memorable with you, that's astoning to read this. Always was interested on gaming out in the continent of Europe and what your fellow gamers had to offer. The video that you provided is really a high brow upload that attracted my attention right away! As a mater of fact, we have many gamers that partake on Atariage that're from the UK, Australia, and New Zealand that come and post regularly on the Neo-Geo thread as well. Nice to see our fellow Neo-Geo players from Europe and Oceania enjoying the platforms. Anthony... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RetroGamingBlog Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Hello all, I'm posting to the community because I'm looking for some basic guidence in getting to grips with Samurai Shodown 3. I've viewed a few YouTube videos but none present a 'how to play'. I have no idea in the difference between the bust or slash mode or the guard stances. I'm lost on what the pow meter does and what kind of move to execute when it peaks. I'm using Haohmaru as that was the character I used a lot in the arcades years ago - but SS3 seems worlds apart from the first game. I'm playing off the bat in mvs mode and I struggle to get past the second fight. Help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm lost on what the pow meter does and what kind of move to execute when it peaks. I'm using Haohmaru as that was the character I used a lot in the arcades years ago - but SS3 seems worlds apart from the first game. I'm playing off the bat in mvs mode and I struggle to get past the second fight. Help! Hi Ash, I found a video of SS3 to help with the How to Play section of the game in English. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNDhffWymj8 As for the Bust and Slash mode here's more from Wikipedia to help you https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samurai_Shodown_III#Gameplay "Slash: Known to the Japanese as Shura (修羅), from Sanskrit word "Asura" Originally, in Brahmanism and Hinduism, a devil who love to fight by nature.It is occasionally mistranslated as "Chivalry", and implies a regular fighter (compare a face in professional wrestling). This version tended to be the closest in style and moves to the Samurai Shodown II version of the character. Bust: Known to the Japanese as Rasetsu (羅刹), which is a derivation of the Sanskrit word, "rakshasa", in reference to a type of demon of black body (hence, the darker skin of bust characters). It is occasionally mistranslated as "Treachery", implying a rulebreaking heel version of the character. This version typically differed considerably from its Slash counterpart in gameplay, though it visually did not look different beyond its color palette. The fighter Nakoruru is the only notable exception to this. The "Slash" version of her character is accompanied by her pet hawk, Mamahaha, as in the two previous SS games. Her "Bust" version, however, is accompanied by her pet wolf,Shikuru. (Like with Mamahaha, she is able to hop onto Shikuruu's back and perform modified attacks.) Galford in his "Bust" version fights without his dog, Poppy for the first time in the game. Also, the button layout was changed, mapping the first three of the four available buttons to weak, medium and strong slash attacks, respectively. The fourth button was used for kick attacks. The pace of the game shifted somewhat, as many basic attacks could now be canceled into special moves, something which was extremely rare in the first two installments. Most ofSamurai Shodown 2's movement options had been removed, in favor of the ability to dodge attacks by pressing the A and B buttons simultaneously. When close, performing this command results in a quick switch-around to the opponent's back, which can then be followed up by other attacks. It is also possible to block attacks in mid-air. Items are also thrown onto the battlefield from off-screen as opposed from a delivery man running in the background." Hope this helps you Anthony... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
