speaking of, I just played on MAME too, since I did remember the slowdowns, but not too heavy as Switch does, specially when in Switch the inputs also lose response during slowdowns of MS2 or maybe is too much time since I played on real arcade to remember control responsiveness. MAME is another way to run the game overclocked to never get into slowdowns.

Not really in my view, and i own the AES game for years. Input delay galore, stupid cheap ai that doenst mimic the orginal in any way, net code pretty shit... your better served with fightcade.

I think MS2 is much better than X, especially the bosses, but I'm weird like that.
You and me both, but yeah, we're weird.
The slowdown doesn't particularly bug me, I just accept it as the way the game is. But, I'm the kind of person who doesn't like it when some arcade bullet hell shooter (say, Deathsmiles) gets a port that runs at full speed and DOESN'T properly emulate the original slowdown. That's kind of part of the boss battle and timing and feel of the game to me.
I also vastly prefer MS2's versions of the stage time of day/color schemes, and boss placement.
I get that for most people who just want to play one game, MSX is the popular choice. That's fine. But for me, I really appreciate that they DID re-release MS2 to allow people who want to get into it to really see the differences for themselves and make their own decision. And from a historical/preservation aspect, there's nothing worse to me than saying an older game is "usless" once a revised version is available. Particularly when we're talking about series that's substantially ABOUT history with these re-releases of 20 year old games, that's kind of important!

My nephew and I love playing MS3 on my big screen. We play with the Joy-Cons sideways, like old school NES controllers. I told him MS2 is out now, and we DL'd it the other day. The slowdown was pretty harsh, but now that I know it's just part of the game, there's no reason to get bent out of shape about it.
I would rather it run smooth, but oh well. I like MS2's stages too, but MS3's zombie level is my favorite.
Samurai Shodown next week it seems.

Been passing on the past few releases, but this is day fucking 1 for me.

I'm so jealous. I wish I had someone that could play that long with me in Pokemon Puzzle League
(let alone be competent enough to keep me on my toes). I squealed as soon as I saw Magical Drop 2, but Puyo Puyo Tetris was the first thing I bought, haha. I'm $3 short for MD2, but I'll probably get another game just to space out my puzzle consumption.
But I'll probably get MD2 soon, anyway

I told you, that they would patch motw eventually. Their work schedule is probably just very tight with a release every week on 3 platforms.

None of them really have single-player specific content besides maybe a few cut scenes and an ending. And most of them have ridiculously hard bosses.
You should play the game for gameplay, not content. For that, Garou, Last Blade 2, King of Fighters '98, Real Bout Special and Samurai Shodown 2 are the best. If you want variety, there's Waku Waku 7, Matrimelee, Kabuki Klash and a few others, but I doubt most of them will ever turn up on Switch.

I like the original Real Bout the most.

Real Bout Series is a little different from the originals. You could have both and be happy.
Both are great.
Asking which FF is the best is like asking which burger is the best.
Art of Fighting 2's arcade mode has dialogs between every single possible character pair, although it can get pretty hard if you're aiming for the real final boss.
Fatal Fury 3 is also fairly story-packed, but like AoF2, the localization gets silly at times, but like AoF2, it's also a linchpin of the running story across its respective series.
Still story-wise, KoF97 is one of the highlights of its series.

Thanks for the response!
I guess I'll go ahead and buy Fatal Fury Special tomorrow then.

The input delay was fixed in a patch and the AI is exactly the same. Code Mystics definitely didn't go in and re-program the AI.
Yay Hamster. I love you guys.
Something to note for future releases- Real Bout Special was not the last Real Bout. Real Bout 2 was! Nice and confusing, lol.
You can break up the NeoGeo FF games, from a game play perspective, into the following groups:
Fatal Fury 1
--------------
Fatal Fury 2
Fatal Fury Special
--------------
Fatal Fury 3
Real Bout Fatal Fury (The button layout changes up here)
Real Bout Special
Real Bout 2
--------------

What's the most premium, high content game on there that isn't a fighter/sports game? Basically the closest thing to an AAA game.

Hmmm... they're all drop-a-quarter-in arcade games. That said, I'd vote Metal Slug 3.

Thanks.

Fatal Fury Special is the best pre-Real Bout/Garou game. If you want something that's like SF2 Turbo, it's worth it.

Metal Slug 3 or Blazing Star.
I may as well use up this space. What's the best vertical shmup that's not Strikers 1945? I know Aero Fighters 2 is coming soon.

So that Turf golf game is pretty good?

I remember shelling out for the Neo Cart when it released...was kinda bummed at my $300 mediocre purchase.
...yes! Neo Turf Masters is an excellent golf game. 4 18 hole courses, and great fun head to head.
