Support NeoGAF

[-hadouken]

Any one care to translate the Japanese tweet? Are they referring to hardware with the "installed" bit?

"At EVO 2017, we set up a test stand for the NEOGEO classic title to be first public! Please drop in!"

What makes you think they'd make a new AOF?

"Oda keeps getting told by fans everywhere for a MOTW sequel so he feels obligated to make it one day. (Note: 4gamer has a photo of characters that were designed for the original Neo Geo). In addition, he also wants to make a new AOF since the series never got far enough to find its answer as a fighting game. He also wants to make an Athena and Metal Slug."

Will be funny if SNK pulled a Nintendo and released Garou 2 with a brand new "Neo Geo Mini"

 

[TreIII]

Is it time for the reveal of a new SamSho...?

I'd be more than ready!

Neo Geo stick for my Switch, thanks.

NGPC / NGCD style D-Stick joycon plsss

He also mentioned that he was thinking of turning AOF into an action/beat em up style game.

A fighting game would be a tough sell but this would definitely lend itself well both to the IP and gameplay.

A combination of two great series:

Samurai Showdown: The Last Blade

Spoiler

please?

 

[dkeane]

HYYYYYPEEEEEE
Please be something.

 

[Trogdor1123]

The first thing I thought of was a Neo Geo Classic like the SNES classic.

Same...

 

[WarRock]

Please don't be another Sega Forever crap.

AOF has always been a weird series of 2D fighters. But I think AOF 3 is the closest SNK ever got to making a fighter that played like a traditional VF or Tekken style 3D fighter. So if AOF4 ever happens, it pretty much should be Fighting Vipers with fireballs.

This teaser seems to point to SNK also leading up to their next 3D title since they mentioned they wanted to make a super violent version of Samurai Showdown as their next game in development.

 

[Fersis]

OH MY GOD

PLEASE BE UNCENSORED

Yes it is.
Its the original release as the devs intended, no censorship whatsoever.

Dare we hope for a TGS reveal?

Next year is SamSho's 25th anniversary.

SOLD.

I have Samurai Shodown VI, how is V Special better/different? VI is a shitshow imo.

 

[DyslexicAlucard]

They already made one. It was great. Could play it as a handheld or a console with the classic arcade stick.

Had a bunch of games packed in and they sold one other pack of games that came in the classic Neo Geo clamshell case.

From what I've heard, it was far from "great." It had poor emulation, weird resolution issues, and felt pretty flimsy considering the price. I'm not speaking from personal experience, but what I've heard from GameSack, Giant Bomb, Ashens and the like.


I'd love to see a new take on the idea though, with no portable mode (to keep the price reasonable) and some good emulation and joysticks. If done will, it would be beloved.

 

[WarRock]

V Special may be my favorite version.

 

[lazygecko]

Yasuyuki Oda has expressed interest in bringing AOF back as an action title I believe.

I'd be up for a character action AOF game!

So more of a beat em up? I'd definitely be in favor of that. Would also love if they retained the generally trashy B-movie feel that pervades the first 2 games. I just love that kind of atmosphere a lot more than the progressively weirder anime stuff the KOF series leaned towards.

 

[Sesha]

Garou 2 or SamSho 7. Aww yeaaah!

 

[Mr. Pointy]

V Special is like a cross between 2 and 4, but it mostly borrows from 2. It somehow ends up being really good.

 

[sibarraz]

Wow, mixed feeling, in one hand is cool to have SSVSP with a good emulation team behind and online, but I'm dissapointed because I was generating ridiculous expectatives over this announcement

 

[Devilgunman]

If you have VI on PS4, which is a port of the PS2 version, which is pure garbage, then this version of V is a much better game. If you somehow have the Atomiswave version of VI, then imo that's the best game in the serie.

 

[Hellraizah]

Anybody know what they were talking about? Has it been announced?

 

[Piccoro]

It's Samurai Shodown V for the PS4.

 

[Unicorn]

Yo a new samsho would be amazing if it is as good as the first 2 games.

No fucking 3D it doesn't do their IP's justice, go with Arc Sys Works method for the love of god.

It's Samurai Shodown V for the PS4.

Oh...

 

[sixteen-bit]

It's Samurai Shodown V for the PS4.

Samurai Shodown V Special, actually

I thought 1 & 2 were great, but all the other ones after them were pretty bad.
