The delay has not been patched. Nothing has changed since recording that.
Edit: on the whole the emulation is solid though. On par with anything else I've seen.

That sucks :-/
Not sure what you've read, but I don't think they ever mentioned something like that.
I feel like I saw something like it in a random release list somewhere, but maybe my brain is just playin' tricks on me.

Yeah this title always seems to get overlooked, I think it's a real looker as well. Fucking tough as nails though.

The delay is small enough to not be a problem...it's nothing like the audio lag on the NES Classic which I found to be really bad.
Smiteofhand is right. Solid emulation. Definitely don't skip these releases because of it.

King of fighters or wait for street fighter?
I know they're adding stuff to ST, but it seems over priced to me.

Spent an evening flipping between Blazing Star (Switch) and Last Resort (PS4).
Hadn't played much of either previously. The only NeoGeo shmup I'd put any time into before was Pulstar. Blazing Star is lovely, but brutal difficulty aside, I found myself drawn far more towards Last Resort. Which should be getting a Switch release soon as it was in the same announcement as Blazing Star and Garou. I'm certainly tempted to double dip.

The best of them all according to many.

Many people think it's the best fighting game on the system. Some think it's the best fighting game of all time.
It's....really damn good.

It's world class.
It's one of the best ones!
Thanks everyone!
Can't wait to play it next week on Switch.

I've never even heard about this Garou game before, but sounds like a must play.

maybe you heard about real bout or fatal fury? its that series (fatal fury is garou densetsu which means hungry wolf legend)

it is a must play. it's also one of the biggest games on neogeo afair
Personally I'm not too keen with the cartoony (almost cel shadish) art style (which is also present in other fighters ala SF Alpha) although it's amazingly well animated.
I prefer the classic neogeo "in your face" bitmap style of Art of Fighting, Fighters History/Karnov's Revenge, Breakers or even Double Dragon. Add some frantic zooming action and I'm in traditional 90s 2D heaven.

Garou is so beautifully animated
Worth picking up Garou if I will probably only play single player? The other person in my house I play games with is pretty casual so I can't imagine him wanting to play an arcade fighting game (Mario Kart was a big win with him though).
Might grab it regardless because I am a sucker for good 2d spritework.

I'm shocked I haven't heard of Blazing Star before, as I'd spent a lot of time in the early days of emulation trying to play as many NeoGeo games as possible. I downloaded SSIV and it's as great as I remember, although the Switch isn't the best for fighters it seems. I'm thinking of picking up this and Shock Troopers. I would probably get Metal Slug 3 as well, but I own so many iterations of it already it isn't funny.
Glad to see they're having some success with these releases.

It really is a different game multiplayer with humans. I was playing it on ggpo a few years ago and it was a blast.
It's not very fun single player.
Garou is awesome and probably the best Neo Geo fighting game. Though, I enjoyed The Last Blade, too. Such a badass game, and I'll be picking it up next week.

The real question here is what am I cutting for Garou, because you bet your ass it is going on this list. Hmmmm.
If you are likely only going to play one fighter, this is the one. Just keep in mind it is the arcade release so it is going to be a straight-up arcade fighter. No modes or anything fancy.

Blazing Star got ported? Nice!

Slug 1 is more fun to replay as it is better to challenge yourself with it. You can attempt to 1cc it without getting bored of that slog last level in 3.
Slug 1 is just a nicer looking game too.

Most people have no clue what the hell 1cc means.
I really think ms3 is the better game for casuals

Waku is the obvious one, for sure. SamSho IV isn't even the best game in the series, though. It is on there by virtue of other games not being out yet.
And I am just waiting for 2 or X to drop to recommend the whole trilogy outright. I personally think the story is best experienced chronologically, if you are truly new to all this, which is why I am semi-pretending for the moment 3 doesn't exist as far as recommendations go.

They would do well to learn and get good. This is a neo geo thread, mate.
The d-pad seems to bleed directional inputs too easily.
Which is no sanctioned bubble for snobbery.

I have played on at least 5 different pro controllers and none of them had this issue.
Hell, I even tested all of them in the settings to see if any is acting wierd after reading in a gaf thread about it.
I still think some pro controller owners just had "bad luck".
I can easily execute all the specials in World Heroes Perfect etc. the Wii's pro controller gave me way more headache regarding fighter special moves.

Same here, mine works ok even though it is still not a very good dpad.

Scanlines are far from perfect, as it was already discussed. You can't activate them without having that ugly blurry filter.
Hamster should fix this.
As well as allow binding several buttons on one controller button (A+B on L, C+D on R for example).

For me it's MS1. It's much more focused while MS3 feels like a cluttered mess at times. But having said that, both are essential for me.

3 biggest and craziest one.
And really open. So cool to play.
I think i bought ms3 about 6 times..
Not even telling how much cash i wasted om it xD
But you really should play 1,X and 3
X is an updated version of 2.
