Support NeoGAF

[katsubento]

Seen docks in my local stores this week. They are out there.

 

[grendelrt]

I really want In the Hunt. Was always tempted to grab it for the Saturn but was put off by the slowdown. Now it goes for ridiculous prices.

Playstation version doesnt have slow down issues like the saturn.

 

[Neff]

I remember In the Hunt kicking the absolute shit out of me. I think it probably took me 30-40 credits to beat it.

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

So I was abroad and took my switch with me.
There were several arcades in town but they were full with stupid "iphone" games (I dunno what to call them) and other non-arcade stuff. next to no arcade classics (some pinball machines;thats it).
We ended up playing NeoGeo games on the switch. We played almost for 5 hours (afair) straight till the battery died.

I need an additional dock for vacations though. I want to connect the switch to hotel TVs.
I hope Nintendo lets me buy a dock only soon.




compared to other neogeo shooters? good.
it's a great R-Type rip off which suffers from one big problem: You cannot continue from the point where you die. this makes it very frustrating sometimes.
I prefer vertical shmups like Aero Fighters and Ghost Pilots.

Hmm, that's disappointing. Not sure if I'll get it.

 

[professor denim]

Hmm, that's disappointing. Not sure if I'll get it.

Its in my opinion the best shooter on the Neo and far from an rtype rip off.
If i had to choose 2 games that defined SNK for me they would be Fatal Fury Special and Last Resort.

ok
let's say it was heavily influenced by R-Type.
in a good way.

I just want to say thank you for sharing these scans, they're really interesting and you seem to do it quite often. Really appreciate the effort.

Are they your own?

I really want Fatal Fury Special. Owned the neo cart, CD, snes and genesis ones and Sega CD.

Data East games will be released on Switch.

At the 66th Arcade Archives livestream yesterday airing on niconico, Hamster confirmed that Data East titles will be joining their list of Nintendo Switch eShop classics. The first game will be Magical Drop 2 with other titles coming at a future date. Other new ACA NEOGEO games announced for Nintendo Switch included Garou Densetsu 2: Aratanaru Tatakai (Fatal Fury) and Metal Slug 2. All three titles are expected in Summer 2017.

Sweet, Metal Slug 2 is coming soon.

 

[kingbean]

Holy crap Last Resort is hard as hell. I like it a lot, though.

Cool about Metal Slug 2, but why not X?
I've played Fatal Fury 2 on snes. I hope the arcade version feels better than that copy.

Data East pls give us Windjammers

 

[robot]

Maybe we'll get Windjammers distant cousin, Heavy Smash!

I owned this game for a few days before the PCB blew out and was unable to get it repaired.

Thank god the door is open for a Windjammers port on Switch, I don't have any faith in Dotemu and their upcoming PS4 release.

 

[entremet]

Metal Slug 2 over X? Strange.

Data East's games are split between different owners and the people Hamster's working with are not the same people who own Windjammers.

The Data East Neo Geo games you can expect from Hamster are Magical Drop 2 and 3, Street Hoop/Dunk Dream, Karnov's Revenge/Fighters History Dynamite and Spinmaster/Miracle Adventure (and maybe Ghostlop but that game was never officially released so it probably won't show up anywhere else).

 

[kingbean]

You make a good point on both. I'll probably just wait but the only neo geo game I haven't bought is kof94. I want them all... Kinda

Would love to see the breakdown of this split.

Metal Slug 2 over X? Strange.

2 is better than X its just unfortunate that technically its a mess with the excessive slowdown. 2 has more animation in the backgrounds (eg the sand in stage 1) a nicer colour palette but most importantly far better ordering of bosses in the levels.

 

[VariantX]

I'll take Midnight Resistance and Karnov!

If I could just have the arcade game, but with the godly genesis OST instead. Kills me that no perfect version of this game exists.

Heavy Barrel is one of my GOAT arcade shooters. So many quarters spent.

 

[gunstarhero]

I wonder if they'll simply port over the versions from the Data East collection that came out on Wii.

 

[.:Wesker:.]

It's probably a safe bet that this Switch port of MS2 will have all of that slowdown, right?

I wonder if they'll add in a toggle to get rid of the slowdown. Maybe faster emulated Neo Geo clocks or something. I agree that 2 is a nicer looking game than X.

How is 2 on PS4/XB1? I saw it was out this week for those systems.

 

[tomwhite2004]

Its not that simple unfortunately. Check the below link to see why the game would need to be completely re-written as X was to fix the issue, a toggle would not be possible

[pete_clarf]

Dumb question, but how do I get my scores to show on leaderboards? On PS4 Arcade Archives, if you beat your previous score, it auto-uploads. Does it do the same here? My "Hi Score" says 0.

EDIT: This is in regards to Last Resort, but I had the same problem on Alpha Mission II.

EDIT 2: I got it to work in Caravan Mode. It just asked me if I want to upload my score (just like PS4). Why isn't it doing this in Hi Score Mode?

Emulators can reduce the slowdown without changing code. I've played MS2 with a solid frame rate in Final burn alpha as well as previous SNK compilations.

 

[AgentOtaku]

Sticking to my two NeoGeo games a paycheck plan and bought:

Last Resort
Shock Troopers

YOOO, these games are fucking legit!

EDIT: Thanks for the Last Resort scans, AmyS!

 

[ScientificPizza]

help me: last resort, blazing star, or alpha mission ii?

I chose Last Resort due to the visuals being my taste
First level alone looks like Neo Tokyo

Fuck no not Fatal Fury 2. They're not going to port Special then. God this is the worst news.

I'd wait for Special actually.

 

[iamaustrian]

don't worry, Special will come 100%

I feel kinda sorry for Fatal Fury 2. No one wants it.
I bought Fatal Fury 1 because it was my first neogeo fighter back in the days and I will get FFSpecial because it's the best FF.
I see no reason to get FF2.

 

[SporeCrawler]

i kinda hope they will bring real bout and art of fighting

Is there any way to plays as the boss/secret characters in World Heroes Perfect or is that only possible in the home version?

 

[Mr. Pointy]

Is there any way to plays as the boss/secret characters in World Heroes Perfect or is that only possible in the home version?

There's cheat codes.
Play as Dio - At the character selection screen, hold B and press up, up, down, down, left, left, right, right, BC.

Play as Son Guko - At the character selection screen, hold C and press up, up, down, down, left, left, right, right, B + C.

Fight as Zeus - In a 2 player VS, at the character select screen, hold B and C, and press A.

 

[NEO0MJ]

So, have they fixed the issues either NG games or are they same as in launch?
