Tanooki Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 I'm not going to harm myself, totally took that a bit farther than I wanted. Point was I wish more and more I had gone overseas. Sure it could have ended up badly but you never know, and now short of divorce I won't as I can't just re-learn what I forgot and get into that program with JET and think I'd get away with it not being single. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are the details: Samurai Shodown Neo Geo Collection Features Never-Before-Released Fighting Game | Den of Geek A collection of Samurai Shodown titles is on the way, and it includes Samurai Shodown V Perfect, the unreleased final Neo Geo title. denofgeek.com 10:45 AM · May 28, 2020· Samurai Shodown Neo Geo Collection Features Never-Before-Released Fighting Game A collection of Samurai Shodown titles is on the way, and it includes Samurai Shodown V Perfect, the unreleased final Neo Geo title. By Gavin Jasper|May 28, 2020 Photo: SNK SNK’s go-to business practice these days is to release its extensive Neo Geo library on any system that will take it for a few bucks a title. Back in the day, having an arcade-perfect Fatal Fury game at your fingertips would cost you a couple of hundred dollars. Now you can get pretty much any of them for no more than $8 if there isn’t a sale going on. God bless them for it because what a collection of games. The Samurai Shodown series is one of SNK’s former tentpoles that fell to the wayside for years despite having a healthy amount of releases. When SNK got back in the modern fighting game groove with King of Fighters XIV in 2016, it paved the way for the release of 2019’s Samurai Shodown, which is still getting DLC updates as of this writing. SNK is now releasing a big compilation. Samurai Shodown Neo Geo Collection will be released on June 18 on Steam. The game will hit the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 on July 28. This collection is very reminiscent of Capcom’s Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection, but with its own special selling point: the first ever release of Samurai Shodown V Perfect. AD AD – CONTENT CONTINUES BELOW As the name suggests, this release collects the Samurai Shodown games specifically releases for Neo Geo hardware. It’s not going to include every single Samurai Shodown game, and it’s missing titles like Warriors Rage, the 2019 Samurai Shodown, the handheld releases, and even Samurai Shodown VI (which was in the classic sprite style, but not on Neo Geo hardware). Neo Geo’s life spanned 1990 to 2004 and with it came Samurai Shodown, Samurai Shodown II, Samurai Shodown III: Blades of Blood, Samurai Shodown IV: Amakusa’s Revenge, Samurai Shodown V, and Samurai Shodown V Special. Special was released in mid-2004 and was, for many years, considered to be the absolute final game released in the Neo Geo library. But there is another. This Twitter thread by Brandon Sheffield goes into more detail, but the short version is that after Samurai Shodown V Special came out, a small group of people from that dev team decided to put together yet another upgrade installment. They fixed some balance issues, tossed in some new story content, and so on. They even completed the game! There’s just one big problem… They never told their SNK bosses about it! AD The game got as far as being released in an arcade testing location for just a couple of hours until the higher ups found out about it and had it yanked and thrown into the SNK vault. This was 2005 and by this point, SNK was straight up done with releasing games on Neo Geo software. 4 Anthony.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Charlie Cat Posted May 30, 2020 Author Share Posted May 30, 2020 (edited) Hi guys, Fanbyte@FanbyteMediaMay 28 Samurai Shodown V Perfect Lost Samurai Shodown Game to Be Included in Upcoming Collection Still no explanation for why it's spelled like that. Jordan MalloryMay 27, 2020 3-minute read Samurai Shodown V Perfect, the planned final revision of 2003’s Samurai Shodown V, went missing shortly after its mysterious debut in a Japanese arcade in 2005. The game was never released and had long since been resigned to the annals of fighting game history until this week, when it was announced that not only has a finished version of Perfect been discovered, the game will also be included in the Samurai Shodown Neo Geo Collection coming to PC, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch in the near future. Normally it’s a bad day involving a call to the police when someone discovers a bunch of missing samurai in a closet somewhere, but in this case it’s actually great news for everyone involved. Samurai Shodown V and its follow-up, Samurai Shodown V Special, were originally developed for SNK by a studio then known as Yuki Enterprise (now known as Examu), which would later develop the Arcana Heart series and other 2D fighters with significant cult followings. According to an interview published on Kotaku, after work on Special had wrapped, Yuki Enterprise decided to go ahead and begin development on a third revision of the game, dubbed Samurai Shodown V Perfect, without actually like, checking with SNK first to see if that was cool, or telling anyone that it was going to do that. SNK didn’t find out about Perfect until Yuki Enterprise installed a test build of the game into a single Samurai Showdown V cabinet at an arcade near its office — standard operating procedure for Japanese fighting game developers — at which point word of a new SamSho began to spread like wildfire across the nascent fighting game communities of the early 2000s’ Japanese internet. SNK was already deep in development on Samurai Shodown VI by this point, which was to run on a modified version of Sega’s NAOMI arcade platform instead of the Neo Geo cabinets that Samurai Showdown V and Special had used, so it immediately ordered Perfect‘s cancellation and the game was never seen again. In addition to a number of balance changes (which are now totally undocumented, thanks to the unyielding march of time), Perfect also adds new story content for each of the game’s 24 characters, at the bizarre expense of some finishing move animations, according to Kotaku. Here’s the explanation from Necrosoft Games director Brandon Sheffield, who helped uncover the finished version of Perfect and also worked on Samurai Shodown Neo Geo Collection‘s museum mode: “Some Overkills were also tweaked, and got their visuals simplified,” Sheffield said. “I know some folks are going to get the wrong idea about it, because the things that were removed are, for example, Rasetsumaru crushing an opponent’s heart or opponents getting chopped in two. But the reason for the change isn’t any kind of dumbing down of content; we actually asked about this and whether it was a reaction to some sort of blowback from the bloodier moves.” “In fact, the moves were simplified to make space in the ROM,” he said. “They needed room for the new story mode cutscenes and text, and because they couldn’t allocate any additional space they had to basically steal it from somewhere else in the game. So they chose a few simplifications of Overkills that wouldn’t affect gamepmuch in order to get the story they wanted in there.” Yes folks, if you’re just now joining us here in video game land, developers used to work tirelessly to ensure that their games fit within the storage limitations of the intended format, which were often set in stone. In the case of SNK’s modular Neo Geo Multi Video System (MVS) arcade cabinets (home to Samurai Shodowns I through V Special (and now, Perfect)), even the biggest games had to be squeezed onto cartridges capable of holding around 80 megabytes, and that was after the original storage limit of approximately 40 MB had been surpassed through the implementation of bank switching. The days of physical media were wild y’all, wait until you find out that cartridge games retailed for different prices based on how much storage they had to cram into the cartridge to hold the game. Anyway, we’ll all be able to experience this lost relic of a simpler, more complicated time when Samurai Shodown Neo Geo Collection launches on the Epic Games Store on June 11 (for free even, at least at first!). The not-free Steam version is set to follow on June 18, with equally not-free PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch ports arriving way later on July 28. The collection houses seven games in total, features online multiplayer with rollback netcode for each game, and also includes an extensive museum mode shocasing production materials, video interviews with the original developers, and other lost ephemera.

retrorussell Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Another SNK game, that I guess is the last before they switched over to the NEO GEO for MVS hardware games: SAR: Search And Rescue (1989, SNK) This was also the last SNK game to have the old dual rotational joysticks control scheme. You control a space soldier making his way (and possibly alongside player 2) through an alien ship, going from room to room and mowing down gooey aliens with 3 different weapons: machine gun (though it's not rapid fire), fireballs and missiles. Holding down the fire button will release a special charged shot: a large ring of fire, a shield with limited life (regardless, it is very useful especially against boss enemies), and a black hole that sucks weak enemies in (more cool to see than functional). A dodge button allows you to dive and also fire at the same time-- very John Woo-esque! Otherwise very little that we haven't seen as those top-down scrolling run and gun games were not remotely new by this point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Charlie Cat Posted May 31, 2020 Author Share Posted May 31, 2020 Hi guys, Back with Scarlet Sprites. Let's see what he has to say for us to be enjoyed. Nice new hairstyle I do have to admit. From the description, "I always enjoy seeing other creator's take on Neo Geo. John Riggs recently did a great top ten underrated video that spotlighted some of the games that often get skipped over on SNK's arcade powerhouse of the 90s. It's a pretty good list of Neo Geo titles that is worth checking out, and I decided I wanted to compliment that video with a few games of my own that I personally play and feel go overlooked. This isn't about the Samurai Shodowns, the Metal Slugs, or the King of Fighters that everyone often thinks of. This is about trying to get those underdogs some spotlight. Let me know your thoughts below." Anthony.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
