Hi guys,

The classic arcade game, Samurai Shodown, is getting a hardcover makeover! The gaming company SNK is teaming up with Dark Horse Comics to create a nearly 200 page book, titled The Art of Samurai Shodown. Filled with nearly 700 photos, illustrations, and documents, you’ll be able to get an in-depth look at the details that went into the creation of the latest version of the popular fighting game.

 

SNK has been behind Samurai Shodown since 1993, and after an 11 year gap in the series, they released a brand new installment in 2019 for multiple gaming systems. Fans can enjoy the same excitement as the earlier versions but with updated graphics and a brand new AI system that learns from you as you play, and will create “ghost” characters for you to fight against with either new or returning characters from past installments.

 

Dark Horse Comics was founded in 1986 and is behind some of the most high quality and beloved comics, graphic novels, art books, and collectibles from multiple licenses, including Avatar: The Last Airbender, Game of Thrones, The Witcher, Halo, Super Mario, and Minecraft. They are among the top entertainment publishers in the world and have recently partnered with Vanguard Visionary Associates to expand to a global market.

You can pre-order The Art of Samurai Shodown, which will retail for $39.99, on Amazon or through your local comic shop. The book’s release date is set for May 2021.

Arcade Stick Pro Christmas Edition... interesting. The regular version of this thing is on sale for $100 all the time. I wonder how much this will be. Once again, the included games are way unbalanced towards fighting games, but at least Metal Slug and Shock Troopers are there. I'm actually kind of disappointed that they didn't put the entire Fatal Fury series on it. Not sure if I want it, though... I may consider it depending on how much it costs.

 

I still think the Neo Geo Mini Christmas has the best overall game selection and even though it's a limited edition thing, it's still in stock at Amazon. Too bad it's still 18920 yen, though.

I always did like SNK's Christmas edition goodies that they use to offer growing up. I purchase the Neo Geo Mini Christmas Edition and think it's the better of the versions that were made public as well Steve. Hopefully, this unit will have a better design this time.

At the beginning, Neo Geo offers any kinds of games.

 

But at the end, most games released are fighting games.

 

That's I saw in magazines like Gamepro.

 

Did SNK release other genre beside fighting at the end of Neo Geo?

 

 

Hi Serguei,

 

Thank you for stopping by and good question. Towards the very end around 2001-2004 when they were Playmore or SNK/Playmore, they were offering fighting games mostly for the Neo-Geo. I believe 1 or 2 that were other than fighting. But they still had a good handful of other titles to other genres before the old SNK folded in 2001.

 

 I can give you the list to them regarding the games before the original SNK folded four years before they did on those titles with a link to them to see as well. Hope this helps Serguel. :)

 

Battle Flip Shot. 1998. Sports

Blazing Star. 1998. Shoot'em up

Captain Tomaday. 1999. Shoot'emup

Money Puzzle Exchanger. . 1997. Puzzle.

Neo Bomberman. 1997. Action/Maze. 

Neo Geo Cup '98: The Road to the Victory. 1998. Sports.

Neo Mr.Do. 1997. Action/Maze.

Nightmare in the Dark. 2000. Platform.

Pop'n' Bounce. 1997. Action.

Prehistoric Isle 2. 1999. Shoot'em Up.

Puzzle Bobble 2. 1999. Puzzle.

Strikers 1945 Plus. 1999. Shoot'em up

The Irritating Maze. 1997. Action/Maze.

Zu Pa Pa. 2000. Platform.

 

Pouchi and Zya. 2003. Puzzle. (Post-SNK)

Thanks

 

I noted in Megagames, https://www.mobygames.com/browse/games/neo-geo/, there are games from 2005 to 2019.

 

Are they homemade games?

Hey Serguei,

 

Yes, that's correct. By small groups and indie developers. SNK officially stop making titles officially for the Neo-Geo MVS & AES in 2004. The last game was Samurai Shodown V Special.

 

Feel free to ask anymore questions you like Serguei. Will be glad to do our best to answer them for you. :)

Yeah, I definitely agree about the Neo Geo Mini Christmas, but damn that thing is expensive for no reason! The Arcade Stick Pro Christmas Edition will likely still be expensive and maybe even more expensive, but hopefully it's a bit more reasonable given its functionality. Not sure how well it works on other systems, but I guess it's probably not a bad way to play Neo Geo games on a different system in case you have games on that system that are not included on the stick itself.

 

Actually, I'll go ahead and ask what you think of the Neo Geo Mini. I know a few people here have them, and generally people say it's okay, but has some problems, like the video output. Too bad that the best versions of the Mini probably all have the US versions of the games instead of the Japanese versions, but I still may try one of the Neo Geo Mini variants (probably Christmas). I found the Japanese and international versions here used recently and those are around 7000 yen on Amazon now, so I might try one of those at first just to see.

 

Speaking of Amazon, Terry amiibo is up for 1500 yen with the typical placeholder date of December 31 next year.

Personally Steve, I like the Neo Geo Mini. I feel it's a worthwhile unit that offers plenty considering it's limitations. Seeing that the international version is cheap off Amazon, it's a fun starter piece for those that want to adventure into the Neo-Geo. Plus there many ways to play hundreds of other titles by hacking into it that you can have a blast playing on it. 

 

My only grievance is really the Mini's NGCD style controllers that SNK made available. Doesn't have the clicky sound when you move the joypad, and the button configuration is just weird for me. But other than that, I would recommend any of the newcomers or retro gamers that want to play Neo-Geo a thumbs up to the Neo Geo Mini, and I think they would enjoy it just a much as I do bro. :)

You always ask for my Neo - Geo collection, Durso, here is some of my collection, bought them from a serious collector who took very good care of the games, man
 
. World Heroes 2 is still sealed, so that's nice

Hi guys,

 
Even the prodigious, weaponized girth of Cheng Sinzan is no threat to the structural integrity of a Neo Geo AES cart. A Neo Geo home cart is a slab of gaming goodness - a veritable monolith of excess, and I love it.
