Really excited Blazing Star is coming since it hit Wii VC in Japan but missed the U.S. back in 2011/2012 probably since Wii was on its last legs at the time. Too bad Pulstar probably isn't doable.

Neo Geo games coming to Nintendo Switch
- Thread starter yoonshik

Thirded. I've never been able to warm to any Metal Slugs but Shock Troopers scratches that itch and is purely is delightful. Shock Troopers 2 looks...odd. Hopefully it's just as good.

I want Samurai Shodown 1.
it has a special place in my heart and I still like the "simplier" graphic style over it's successors more detailed ones.
Some beat'em ups and more shmups would also be nice. Sengoku is a nice start but there are more.
Burning Fight
Robo Army
Mutation Nation
Sonig Wings 2 (and maybe 3)+
Ghost Pilots
Strikers 1945 Plus (although it's HIGHLY unlikely

My man. Samurai Shodown 1 is on my top 3 best games ever. I love it so much, over any of the sequels. 1>3>2>4. Thats how i rank SNK (not Playmore) Samurai Shodowns. I love them all.
SS1 was the game that cemented my love for SNK. This and Fatal Fury Special blew my mind to this day. Was the game that motivated me to get a NeoGeo.

+1 for Robo Army. Fun as fuck.
Mutation Nation is one of my favorites, its an OK beat em up, but the art style and content is so awesome.I want Samurai Shodown 1.

As far as non-fighters go, my dream list would be...
Sengoku 3
Sonic Wings 2 and 3
Pulstar (unlikely)
Windjammers (maybe unlikely because Data East)
Super Sidekicks 3
Strikers 1945 Plus (also unlikely)
Puzzle Bobble 2 (also unlikely because Taito)
Top Hunter
Neo Drift Out
Neo Bomberman (also unlikely because Konami)
Money Idol Exchanger

Pulstar was also on the Japanese Wii VC and was part of the recent SNK humble bundle.
Robo Army is great! I really do hope it gets a release since it's one of SNK's few Neo Geo games that's never been rereleased on any service (beside Gametap...) or as part of a compilation

Pulstar is actually my favourite of the neo geo shmups. This is ACA release I'd probably like the most actually. It's criminal what the Pulstar MVS carts are going for these days! I got one for like $80 around 8 years ago...a cursory check on eBay shows over $500 CDN. Yikes.
It isn't, sadly. I wouldn't mind the art style if it was great otherwise, but everything about it was a gigantic letdown from the first.
lol, buying neo geo games when ur canadian is suffering
Good thing I went the CD route.

Yep, I've suffered a lot. Having the games on switch is pretty awesome though.

Really should start with using only 3 continues and work lower from there all the way to 1CC.

I'm still pretty sure we won't see any post bankruptcy SNK games on the Switch or any digital platform any time soon. ACA put Samurai Shodown 4 instead of 5 because it's the last SS game they made before they went bankrupt and had to sell their IPs to other companies.

Tried to find a good range that covered as many people and games as possible. The steps are suggestions. Nobody needs me to tell them how to play their video games, they can deviate or change the fidelity between steps as much as they like.
I am curious what is it about 3 that feels like the limit to you? I don't necessarily agree or disagree. I think it varies by the game. I admit in my experimenting 7 felt like the highest I would personally go, but there are a shitload of arcade games out there I've never played so who knows. Beyond that too much tension is removed from the game, but that line is a very personal thing as far as I can tell.
SNK retained all of its licenses when it reformed as Playmore and even acquired more by buying ADK's assets. KOF XI, Twinkle Star Sprites La Petite Princesse and Neo Geo Battle Coliseum are all Playmore-era games that got recent digital releases.
Normally like 3-5 is what console games had for continues, not to mention AES versions of Neo Geo games had 3 continues as well.
Damn. That's a huge disappointment. Shock Troopers has been like a revelation to me and I was hoping for more.

Weren't arcade versions a little harder though? So you would keep feeding in quarters.
For Neo Geo, yes, but slightly. MVS, which are arcade versions, were at Level 4, while AES, home versions of arcade games, were at Level 3, for default.
SmiteOfHand

If someone is really, truly struggling with 3 continues do you think it is better to increase to 4 or lower the difficulty?
That is a good question. I would say increase the continues in that case as it's better to try to learn the game on it's current difficulty setting. Some games may force you to lower the difficulty though.

It's still fun and I enjoyed what I played of it. The problem is the first Shock Troopers is a lot better.
Do you think we'll get the MVS version of Ironclad? It was a prototype MVS ROM that got a Wii VC and Humble Bundle release. The original game was Neo Geo CD only.

Nice, had no idea, guess we might get Pulstar on Switch someday after all.

None of them are Neo Geo games, though.

I mean a rerelease is coming so it seems they have figured out the licensing issues. And just like with Metal Slug 3 and Motw, just because PS4 gets the version with online, doesn't hinder hamster to release the arcade version.
SSZS is however. The atomiswave games could still be released as ACA series games.
Some of Playmore neo geo games like Metal Slug 5 and KOF 2003 have been rereleased as part of compilations. Metal SLug 5 is in Anthology and that was put on the PS4 store a while back.

He mentions that, because only Neo Geo is announced as part of the ACA series for switch. All the other ACA releases like Darius aren't so far. Man Darius would be good on switch...

Samurai Shodown 2? lol
Fatal Fury, if you look at the coming soon section you'll see the next week's as well.
UK eShop at least.
smashballTaz
Member
Yeah, according to the UK eshop, Fatal Fury is out on 20th April, and some kind of car game called Over Top is out on 27th April.

Over top is kinda meh and pretty basic.
I suggest waiting for the VASTLY superior Neo Drift Out which is still awesome nowadays.
(although I think licensing will be a problem...)
afair it's some sort of a timed highscore "race" through stages. at least that's what I remember from shmups

In shmup parlance, "Caravan mode" is a mode (usually declined in two minutes and 5 minutes variation) where you are put a special stage and have to score as many points as possible in the time limit. For the arcade archive series, it's just a timer that ends the game after 5 minutes.

I used to play Metal Slug 3 and Metal Slug X with friends, but I always considered them to be "coin-feeding" games because shit was just too unpredictable and crazy. Way too many things happening on screen in all sorts of bizarre ways, and for way too long. They left me exhausted by the middle of the game, and after that it's almost like a chore to continue to the end. I loathed the transformations (zombie/mummy etc) as well.
Yesterday I got Metal Slug 1 on Switch, first time playing this one. Oh man. First time's the charm: This one is just perfect in terms of pacing, intensity and length. I love it.
Debating whether or not I should also get Shock Troopers.

NDO the game you never have to touch the brakes? Push comes to shove I'd probably lean NDO as well though not because Over Top is more basic. I would argue the opposite. NDO is tighter in its focus of its mechanics.
Thanks, in the US shop they haven't shown Neo Geo games coming soon. They just pop up for sale on thursdays.
Ah I see, they used to have Wii U/3Ds new game press release on Thursday in US while we got them on Monday. Now we get them same day as you guys, seems we still get more of a heads up via the eShop though.
Not sure why they keep the news until the last minute if it's already finalized.
