The eShop listings fail to include video footage despite the HAMSTER YouTube page having recent uploads for all games.
Here they are:
Shock Troopers
World Heroes Perfect
Waku Waku 7
Metal Slug 3
The King of Fighters '98
NAM-1975

The colors look better in these videos. Maybe they have fixed them already?
Videos were uploaded on March 2.

Are all the games currently washed out in terrible looking? I really wanted to pick one or two of them up but maybe I'll get blaster Master zero instead for now. I need something old school and easy to jump into when I need a break from Zelda.
If this is universal, I may bite on ST / N1975. I'll mostly play them in handheld mode anyway.
Yes
The promotional materials (video and screenshot) have always looked colourful. That's one major reason concerns were raised.

I wouldn't go as far as calling them bad, but they do have some problems. Hamster has committed to fixing the worst, and even with those they are just annoying/non-optimal. The games are perfectly playable.
Can't speak to the auto-fire problem. I love the taping rhythm of playing slug standard. I flipped it on for about 10 seconds just to try it and didn't see anything immediately wrong with it, but again, not my style.
Pretty disappointed with Metal Slug. The audio delay annoys me severely. And I had some issues with input delay that I couldn't resolve until I rebooted my Switch. This was while I was in portable mode.
Framerate issues are expected since that's just how Metal Slug is. There's a lot of it but I'm not sure how much is new, honestly.

Someone tried a few pages back, and it appears these titles have issues even if you have RGB levels set properly. You could possibly mess with brightness and contrast settings to get them to look closer to how they should, but that would have create issues for all other content.
Hamster said they are working on fixing the image/sound issues. I'll be waiting for the patch and positive impressions before I grab any of these.
KoF's has some pretty nice ongoing stories which make for a decent solo experience - alas, 98 isn't a game in the series where that matters much, but managed to get really popular on gameplay alone.

These look a little washed out for sure, but the emulation seems solid enough from what I've played. If they can get a patch out to fix the colors and other minor issues, then these will go from OK to fantastic.
Metal Slug is amazing, solo or co-op. Best Contra-esque game EVER.
Edit-
I play the metal slug 3 port on Vita often. The switch version runs considerably worse. When you blow up the thing near the very start with the crabs, the framerate dies. I wonder if its because I was playing in docked mode and had the "additional wide graphics" on. Maybe thats too much for it, but it really seems these were rushed and need a patch to both fix the graphics AND fix the performance.
Should be a patch coming next week that addresses these issues.

So I guess this means no Neo-Geo virtual console :I

Nice, I hope they actually do release it next week! Hamster seem to be pretty on point so far with their support for these.
Where is Neo Turf Masters?
They just released it on the Xbone a few weeks ago, so hopefully we'll get it soon on the Switch. I don't see why not?
I saw them in Chicago and lost my damn mind they were so flawless~
Slug and Shock Troopers are plenty great solo, don't worry.

The Vita version is the M2 PSP version, right? I'd certainly expect an M2 release to be arcade-accurate with slowdown, but maybe it isn't? Man, there's no way the Switch is choking on these games. Emulation slowdown (as in, slower than the original hardware) usually comes with stuttery audio, too, at least in most PC emulators I've used...

I bought all of the games knowing they were going to get patched at some point, but was still surprised at how severely Hamster screwed up. The patch better be good.
I compared Shock Troopers PSP (on Vita, so not even running at native resolution) and Shock Troopers on Switch. It is AWFUL.
What happened? Hamster's PS4 releases are incredible.

You pay in Yen for one, and in US dollars for the other one.
Its the psn release that was cross buy for ps3/4/vita. Has trophies and stuff. Not sure who did the port.
I meant the different modes, not the eShop you bought them in.

That slowdown on Metal Slug 3 is indeed rough, those patches can't come sooner.

Omg really? I was there too! It was so busy there because the Cubs were playing right down the street, but it was so worth it. It was the best concert I had ever been to. I so hope to see them again. Remember how she said "ba na na"? lol xD

I just noticed on my own screenshot above that, even when selecting the widescreen option (which doesn't do anything in shock troopers afaik) it still cropped the screen on both sides, despite there being plenty of space.
I'm really shocked. I want to know what happened.
Also, how do you change display settings in Caravan mode on World Heroes? It won't let you and it doesn't use your display settkngs from the other game modes.

I would almost call this false advertising. The games just do not look like this. And why is nobody talking about Shock Troopers having less horizontal pixels than the actual game?
Edit: Sorry, I just saw this post with the trailers and assumed we had some more discussion regarding these by now. That's awkward, oof.

I set the blood option in MS3 to "On" and it didn't save it the next time I loaded up the game even though the toggle still showed that I had it selected. I think they have a problem with some of the options sticking in these games. I haven't ran into it since but I'm kinda waiting for patches before I enjoy these more.
Yea for some reason it doesn't save your settings, I have KOF98 and I have to increase the screen size, enable uncropped widescreen mode(why is this disabled by default??), and enable scanlines everytime I play.
Yeah dude maybe it's just me, but if these were given the classy treatment I'd pay really good money for them. There's nothing I hate more than shit cash-in rereleases though where they cheap out on everything and I guess just hope to nab a few suckers and call it a day and move on to the next dump. Really unfortunate because it's not like there a competitive marketplace for these, so once someone does a shit job that's kind of the end of it for that console at least.
