Have you seen the thread about the 8bitdo controllers getting a firmware compatibility for switch? I really like the dpad on the NES30 and I've been trying out the neo geo games with it....really great so far. SO much better than the joycons for 2D games and it's great for QCF/QCB type moves in fighters.

Apparently in the case of the SNES30/SFC30 the D-pad is mapped to the Pro controller's left analog stick. Does that affect input latency?
None yet but Hamster published a few Video System games as part of their Oretachi Gēsen Zoku series back in the day so presumably they know who owns the licenses.
I'm really hoping we get Aero Fighters 2-3 and more 3rd party stuff after the Sunsoft fighters seem to be pretty popular. Technos, Hudson, Taito, Data East, Face and Visco all also had games I'd buy.

Not sure, I've only got the NES one. It's a game changer for 2D stuff on Switch though, imho.
I mean, it's over Bluetooth so there must be some minor latency? But on the NES30 I haven't noticed anything more than what would already be present in the emulation.
Speaking of Aero Fighters / Sonic Wings.
EGM #35 - June 1992.
I loved the intro to the first game! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bwf2ha3eN-c
Doesn't seem like anything's listed in any region's "Coming soon" segment on the eShop. So unless it was announced somewhere else: "unknown".
Thanks!
Oooh, I like that game.
Ha, damn, didn't think to check the website. Thanks!

Remember this is the MVS version, so you have to unlock Kyo and Iori with cheat codes.
At the Character selection screen, go to the Random Select, press and hold Start (R bumper) then do:
For Kyo: Left,Right,Up,Left,Down,Right
For Iori: Right.Left,Up,Right,Down,Left

Of the Neo Geo era? Probably '98. Which is on the eShop.
Anything from '96 through 2003 is pretty good. 2001 plays alright but is really ugly and the soundtrack is awful. '96 is a transitional game and the controls are a little off compared to '97 onwards.

Ever played Over Top? It looks like Neo Drift Out, but I've no idea if its as good (Drift Out is amazing after all!).

They've been adding hotkey functions to ZL/ZR in recent games like Garou and Galaxy Fight, so maybe BC will be one of those. Then you can do ABC and BCD with 2 button presses.

I had so much fun playing Sonic Wings 2 on Neo Geo CD. I always picked Mao Mao because her bomb is great for a klutz like me LOL.

'99 has that beautiful rain stage though.
My God, that's gorgeous.

I can't find the full one that shows the complete stage transition from sunny day to rain.
I will buy 99 again pretty much for this stage. It's easily my favourite.

Oh thank god (or Hamster)
Pretty sure LB2 was in one of the highlight reels. I have it on PS4 but I'll double dip for sure.
Some of the other SamSho games are on X1 & PS4 so are likely coming soon also.
Awesome thanks! Definitely going to pick them up once/if they're released. Which SamSho game has held up the best? I played a ton of 2 in a laundromat when I was a kid, but I hear some of the later ones were a bit hit or miss.

Is there a reason why Garou? Also, I forgot about SamSho 4. I've got a $20 eShop card so I might get more than one game. I've been hearing some good stuff about turf masters and I'm always down for metal slug.
I guess I should have originally asked what the best currently available Neo Geo games are.

Great news ! Hamster is listening ! Will wait for feedback, but if that's the case for KOF 99, then I will buy the game.

Garou is basically SNK's SFIII 3S. Small roster, superb graphics and OST, really polished mechanics, etc.
Waku Waku 7 is really unique, and pretty good! It has a feeling you don't have in other games. KOF 98 is really good, but better to wait on more versions of KOF to be on the eshop imo.
Turf Masters is great if you like the genre yeah.

Interesting.
They all support the single Joy Con layout.

King of Fighters '99 continues SNK's trend of kickass boss themes

So about that KOF '99.
I enjoy the heck out of it. But it's one of the weirder games in the series. Someone at SNK thought people still liked Extra mode, so they combined it with Advanced mode and gave us '99's red life SDM system and that weird roll dodge. Also, it's probably the last Neo Geo KOF where there's real effort and artistry in the background art.
2000 feels like it was affected by the bankruptcy proceeding, and the backgrounds don't look as nice because of it... I think. 2001 has poor backgrounds, mainly because of the washed out colours, but there's a lot stuff going on in them. 2002 is better but it's still kind of lacking - I can't really explain it. 2003's backgrounds are probably on the level of 2000.
