dumb question but how the heck do you play with just 1 joycon? I can't get it to work, it just acts as if you are using 2 and holding them vertically even if I turn off the other joycon.
So, how bad is the audio delay issue, really?
This is holding me back from buying literally every single title in this collection. I need to know how much of an issue it is!

Don't you need to resync them in the switch controller setting area so each one is registered as single controller?
I've been fine by using the system-wide Controller menu in the home screen. Go there, grab a single joycon, and use the special tiny L+R buttons to get the system to treat a single joycon as a single player.
OK - I own Waku Waku 7, KOF 98, and MS3. How are NAM-1975 and Shock Troopers? Also, is World Heroes Perfect any good?
Need samurai showdown 2 .....cmon Nintendo
What are your recomended joy-con grips??
None.
I've tried both sides and they work great. DPs, QCFs, double HCB, 2-in-1s, cancels into supers, you name it, all commands are easy and comfortable. They might be tiny, but the Joy-Cons as is hold up extremely well.
MS3 is a blast. But man, 1CC seems impossible at the moment. Kudos to people who can do that!
Also, performance in handheld mode is pretty good. Slowdowns during big explosions and boss fights...Was that characteristic of the console or arcade versions?
tons of slowdown in the arcade, I'd actually like to play a version with some of that fixed though it would change the difficulty balance significantly
It's impossible to say how big of a deal it will be to you. It's subtle enough that not everyone will care, and your display will also affect how big of a deal it is when docked.
World Heroes Perfect is definitely good and one of the best WH games, I just 1CC'd it recently.OK - I own Waku Waku 7, KOF 98, and MS3. How are NAM-1975 and Shock Troopers? Also, is World Heroes Perfect any good?
If you like MS3, you will definitely enjoy shock troopers.OK - I own Waku Waku 7, KOF 98, and MS3. How are NAM-1975 and Shock Troopers? Also, is World Heroes Perfect any good?
Really? I feel like grips are a game changer in terms of comfort. Makes me want to actually use the joycons by themselves. The SL/SR triggers are so bad when using a solo joycon, and I constantly feel myself pressing L/R/ZL/ZR.None.

Yeah, that was more of a general comment. With Neo Geo games you'll still have issues with the L/R/ZL/ZR getting constantly mashed when you use the joycons by themselves. A grip like the one previously quoted made it a lot more comfortable.Neo Geo games only use the four face buttons, so the shoulder buttons shouldn't be a problem.
The screenshots for this are looking really good. If they nail the feel of the NES games, I'm going to be having a great time between this and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

If you go the MVS route it's much cheaper. That's what I did 10 years ago. And with little modding you can have access to the arcade/home version of each title (as well as the US/JP version as well if I remember correctly, but not sure).It's unfortunate how expensive it is to collect for the system proper.

It's not very sexy but it does the job well.
Yeah, I watched a video (Metal Jesus Rocks) where he had a guy on going over Neo Geo collecting. Seemed like MVS was the way to go if you just want to play the games and don't about how sexy they look. Are there still crazy expensive titles in that realm of collecting?
It's great that we already know a bunch of upcoming Neo Geo games for Switch. Nothing stops this Hamster wheel!
Edit: Here's all 54 of the Neo Geo games on Wii VC in NA:

Wonder which ones are on Switch but not Wii. I think Waku Waku 7 is one.
Do these allow you to switch to AES mode? If MVS only, is there a coin limit? No way to enter practice mode for KOF games?
MVS only - US or Japan versions, a hi-score mode and caravan mode. All the standard Arcade Archive options and stuff. There's a coin button so it's unlimited.
This is based off of Waku Waku 7 but I'm betting it's the same for all games.

I figure for any of the bugs and/or improvements that have been discussed to have a shot of actually happening, getting it all in a concise and easy to follow place then linking Hamster to it is the best bet. Maybe with even some light translation if anyone is able/willing would be super helpful. Here is a quick and dirty pass that I will improve as I have time. Please further detail or let me know anything I am overlooking.
To be clear to anyone wandering in, personally I don't find any of the below as a major barrier to not consider getting these games so please don't interpret it as shit's busted.
Straight Up Bugs
Would Be Cool
- Sound Delay -- Video demonstration would be aces, will see what I can do
- Autofire -- Still unclear if this is an actual bug or working as intended. Will investigate.
- Excessive Slowdown -- This one is difficult to demonstrate and unlikely to be improved so focusing on excessive slowdown problems not originally present will be the most productive. If you know of a particular section or boss fight let me know.
- Anything else?
- BIOS Switch - Ability to flip between MVS and AES (assuming some weird licensing thing or whatever isn't holding this up somehow)
- Continues - Ability to set number of continues rather than just on/off
- Scanlines -- Configure the post processing blur and scanlines independently.
- More? (Note: trying to keep these as focused and grounded as possible. Yes, there are all sorts of cool stuff in the greater possibility space, but try to be realistic with any suggestions, please.)

Maybe allow us to swap between Arcade and Home modes? I know some games added features to the Home mode. For example, Waku Waku 7 has 2 additional playable characters in VS Mode.
That's what the MVS (arcade) and AES (home) BIOS switch he's talking about is.
This post sucks... Only because it reminds me of how awesome the Wii VC is, and how the 3DS / Wii U ones paled in comparison.
I hope the Switch can reach Wii levels of VC glory. All this Neo Geo action seems like a great first step, though.
Thanks for the info. That is disappointing, but I still may grab some for the sake of having portable versions. Hopefully some things get patched in. What's the caravan mode?

On an unrelated note, how does the Interrupt Save work? I haven't gotten it to work properly yet...
Haven't tried it on WW7 but Caravan is traditionally a mode to see how well you score in a specified time limit. It was pretty common for shoot em ups, very odd to see it in a fighting game so I'm curious if it's the same thing.
Considering they are porting more than just Neo Geo games and on 3 platforms, I doubt they will do anything beyond the arcade version.I'd love to see something like that included. However, I'm guessing that their emphasis on being "arcade perfect" means they're not interested in perusing it. In addition, this company ports tons of non-Neo Geo games as well that never had a BIOS switch in place, so it might not be worth the effort to them. Guess we'll have to see.
I'm eager for Turf Masters to show up any week now. I almost grabbed it on PS4, but I think it'd make for a great portable game.
