Support NeoGAF

[Billy Lee]

I hope Two Crude Dudes gets ported. I loved it on the Megadrive.

What's the difference been Drop 2 and 3? Which is better and why?

 

[ScientificPizza]

data east *and* neo geo?

hmmmmmm

Spoiler

let me jam

 

[Danielsan]

Wait, didn't a Windjammers rerealse get announced for PS4 already at some point?

edit: I'm not crazy: https://www.playstation.com/en-us/games/windjammers-ps4/

 

[Calm Mind]

The thought of a portable Joe and Mac 2... I need to lie down.

3 is just 2 with more content. It's better in every way

Magical Drop III
-Has twice the characters
-Has some control tweaks, such as letting you drop rows into your field manually to make chaining easier and faster, and letting you pick up normal and "special" pieces of the same color together (II didn't let you do the latter as a weird holdover from the first game)
-Pushes "garbage" lines into the opponent's field unevenly in competitive play, the pattern being based on character
-Much more in-depth Vs. CPU mode that changes based on how fast you play
-Replaces a mode where you solve preset puzzles (which was cut in the English versions of II) with a board game mode
-Is much more polished aesthetically

MDIII's better in pretty much every way. Only things in MDII's favor are the aforementioned preset puzzle mode and the fact that it's less obvious that the CPU breaks the rules.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

MDIII Black Pierrot was some bullshit.

Isn't that a SNES game and not arcade?

 

[Tom Nook]

Bad Dudes and Heavy Barrel Please

 

[Tizoc]

OK so based on what y'all have posted, Magicl Drop 3 is the go to game in the series?

A good HG101 article to get you up to speed.
TL;DR A trumpshit insane platform-brawler.

Sounds awesome. cOUNT ME interested.

 

[NoKisum]

Oh shit, finally, portable Magical Drop!

Prefer 3, but if buying 2 guarantees a release for 3, then I'm all in on both.

 

[Fularu]

The week I take the plundge and order Magical drop 1 2 and 3 for saturn they do this?

Also avoid Magical drop 4 or F, they suck

 

[Hello? This is Hailun!]

Data East is back?

Who is in charge of resurrecting TechnoSoft and IREM?

I mean if all you wanted was a way to play them Magical Drop 2 and 3 have been on the Virtual Console for years.

 

[eXistor]

Hoping for Boogie Wings someday.

 

[Zakalwe]

Two Crude Dudes/Crude Buster, please!

 

[Peltz]

Windjammers please. Thank you.

I already have the virtual console releases

I just wanted to complain

 

[Diablohead]

Magical Drop 2 is some good stuff.

Man, Switch's out of the box local co-op is a godsend for rereleases like this.

I've warmed up a lot to the joycons because of this kind of thing, it's really smart.

Data East isn't back, the people who own their games are just licensing them out again. Irem's in the same category, they'll license their games to anyone with money but they'll never make anything new.

Sega bought Technosoft's catalog last year.

Kung Fu would be so awesome.

 

[always crazy bacon]

Robocop when

I'd buy that for a dollar!

now that you mention that though, if these arcade releases do well I hope it leads to third parties supporting the VC again.

Magical Drop 2 is available for PS4 and XBO in Japan today (Jun 15) as a ACA Neo Geo title. The US version is coming out today too @$7.99.
