MS1 and MS3 are more popular, so MSX usually ends up being the last to get a port. It'll come.

The only game on the entire platform with any RPG elements is Crossed Swords. But you are not going to find any traditional console style RPGs as the Neo Geo is an arcade platform which happened to have a home console that received its own versions of those games. Its predominantly fighting games and shooters as those genres were king in the 90s arcades.
Robo Army is a cool beat em up, cannot think of anything strictly "mecha" on the system.

Honestly if I could have this and Twinkle Star Sprites, I don't need any other games.
SNK has 2 primary teams, one that's worked on KoF XIV, and might be working on something else yet to be revealed, and a 2nd team that handles mobile stuff, that's been applying updates to Metal Slug Attack, and announced a new mobile game "Kimi wa Hero/You Are The Hero".
The most mecha things they've worked on are Metal Slug, especially the later games, there's Robo Army, and collateral aspects in other games, like how in King of the Monster 2 you can control a giant robotic ape, Cyber Woo, or cyborgs like Maxima in KoF.
How about Bust A Move Again (2)?

Also Garou is 60% off on PSN for the golden week sale right now if you want to play the game on a platform that has actual fight sticks currently released.
I'll be grabbing it on Switch for sure though. The ACA games look fantastic on the Switch screen.

Was viewpoint any good? I always thought that 3d crab looked cool.
The most beautiful console ever conceived.
Very playbale, but very tough (if you play alone, there's also a two-players cooperative play) . It's like a Zaxxon on steroids. It has the best soundtrack available on NEO-GEO games, themes are incredibly groovy. Isometric 3D Bosses are gorgeous. In my personally top 10 games on NEO-GEO.

Wow, wait, what? These are NOT the AES versions? Oo
Wtf were they thinking? Oo
You can remap the buttons, though, right?

always chasing the next thrill
it's not a big deal for most people.
but yeah .. all neogeo games on the switch have no aes mode,
i like to zone out and play training mode for hours.
so it's a big meh in my eyes.
but then again.. if you never played this game you should get it on switch.
is garou on vita?
if yes? that is the best version

Same for training mode. Shame...
It is. But the Vita/PS4 version feels off. 360 is still the best version available, it seems.
Also, button mapping? Default placement flatout does not work for some games, is why I ask.
What makes it weird is precisely that it's the same rom. Why eliminate the options if they're already there? Very stupid decision.

That's being done by dotemu though so pray its not as bad as the other neogeo games they have ported to other systems so far.
But the options are only there if you use a hacked bios, this stuff was never meant to be accessed by users. And you also cannot presume that the home and arcade versions come under the same license to be put out together like that.

I'm going to assume that is not an issue at all considering how this was handled in the humble bundle releases. 2 different licenses and they sell the games for 4 a pop? Can't be.
Never meant to be accessed by users is meaningless considering it's perfectly legal to do so since the information is contained in the ROM.
My point is merely that this was a very stupid decision, and one that essentially translates to less sales. I now have no reason to buy anything other than Waku Waku 7. I'd be buying most of these if they were/had access to the AES versions, but why bother if I have superior versions available elsewhere...
Also, button mapping available? Anyone?

I agree. It has such a modern timeless design. If it'd be released today it would fit right in and be considered a great design. Mega drive and snes can't say the same thing.

This is demonstrably false look at the EU/Japan version of the Snes and say that again.

I'm from the EU. I LOVE the mega drive and snes designs but to me they'd be seen as completely retro designs if released today (specially the md). The neo geo, however, with its monolithic, rectangular and minimal design would just fit right in, it's timeless. And the controllers too, damn sexy. I wish I had one
It says in that one link that inputs are delayed...that's a huge no no for a fighting game.

And the correct, much better title - Puzzle Bobble
Do their games count as official Neo Geo games or home brew?

I want Bubble Bobble. So many fond memories of that game.
Plus it has the the main theme which will never leave your brain.
Burn into your memories forever!
I don't think that's a Neo Geo game though right?

No it's not a Neo Geo game. Bubble Bobble was released in arcades 4 years before the Neo Geo was launched. Classic game though.

That's a legit good score for side pocket though. That game was my jam and probably got my puberty started earlier than it should have.
Reading those old reviews just gives me the impression that the EGM crew were a bunch of iroc driving basement-trolls with mullets.

So we had some friends over this weekend. While the wives were outside, me and the husband played some Metal Slug 3. I forgot that the final stage is SO damn long. Whatever the case, we had fun. I knew that we would use a boat load of credits, but being able to play and laugh at the absurdity was pretty fantastic.
I need to pick up Over Top. Looks super fun.
Completely unrelated....Are there scans of this shit available online? I LOVE reading old reviews. It just has a super nostalgic fun factor associated with it.

You can also set turbos.
How so? Can you decribe this "off"ness, as this is the first I've heard of it.
The Vita version (which is crossbuy with PS4) is pretty awesome (except online apparently), and you get to use the Vita dpad. I've been thinking of picking up the Switch version anyway, but I've really been enjoying it on Vita and will probably continue to play it there just for the better form factor (in this case).

There used to be a site called retromags that hosted a lot of scans. I actually have a local archive of these things for a good chunk of the 90s myself. If the current scan poster doesn't have something, I might not either, but if you're looking for something, I can always try to dig it up too.

I just checked that site...Looks like a bunch of stuff is gone?
And that above post is glorious!!

I own the game on AES, Dreamcast, PS2, Xbox 360 and PS4. And soon on Switch. Really DC is trash in every way possible. Delayed inputs, some input don't even work, strange loading times and weird sound bugs.
