How hard are the Metal Slug games? Will a mere mortal like me ever have a chance to beat them?

Sure, just go with unlimited continues like most people before going for an harder challenge.
MS1 isn't hard. MS3 gets harder and harder.

They do patch the games, but I guess schedule is tight with all these games and platforms.

Yes, please. I've been waiting for a good way to play KoF 2000.
What are the chances of Hamster releasing Neo Bomberman? I imagine they don't have the rights to Hudson games.

Not actually that important
Man, don't understand how Shock Troopers 2nd squad dropped the ball so much, the first one is amazing and looks more like a late NG title than its sequel...
Also, as most of you know by now, I can't post in this thread without mentioning:
HEY HAMSTER,
NEO DRIF OUT now, c'mon!
You know you want to, it's even a proper Arcade Archives release since it never got an AES version.
edit:
Really hope it's not licensing issues (Subaru, Toyota, Mitsubishi..) holding it back because I hardly see it being worth it for Hamster if that's the case. This is one of the finest 2D Racing Games ever, definitely a top NG title too, would be a shame. Sigh.

NGCD? What's that?

I definitely played Samurai Showdown on the go. No way I was online in a trapped subway car.

The games have sometimes hung at the start menu for me (after selecting language etc) and it eventually pops up saying it couldn't connect, but selecting 'cancel' allows you to move on to play offline.

I say go with 1. Just cause of release order. They're both fantastic games anyway.
Speaking of which when is 2 coming out?
This Thursday.
Nice, so I should get them in order then(1, 2, 3).

Goddamn, why did I buy 1 then! -_-

Good luck with some of these!

I wouldn't be too surprised to see any on that list. They're all SNK-controlled IP, and 4 of the 5 have been released on Wii VC: King of the Monsters 2 (JP only), Sengoku 3, Top Hunter, and Twinkle Star Sprites (JP only). Mutation Nation wouldn't be shocking, seeing as how it's an SNK game.
Aside from Virtual Console, Top Hunter was on the SNK Arcade Classics collection, TSS has been ported a ton to a variety of platforms, etc...
But yeah, Robo Army! As far as weird games, Nightmare in the Dark would also be phenomenal.
They're already working with Konami on regular ACA so Hudson's Neo Geo games (Panic Bomber, Neo Bomberman, FEOE Kabuki Klash) might be fair game.
Hamster would need to sign Visco first.
Metal Slug 2 for Switch, Pulstar for PS4 and XBO for this week.

Top Hunter was my first game on Neo Geo CD, definitely would love to play it again. Also, if you have a PS4, you can get ADK Damashii (PS2 Classics) which includes Twinkle Star Sprites and other ADK games.

Hopefully that means Pulstar will be on the Switch in a couple of months or so.

The fashion in Mutation Nation is so 90s, lol. I love Player 2's high-top fade and nike dunk clones.

I would rather have Metal Slug x than 2 but who am I kidding...I will buy it.

I forgot how bad the slowdown gets in MS2. I haven't played it in such a long time, but remembered it was bad at points. I forgot that the game basically ground to a halt if you had the Heavy Machine Gun.
Someone should get DF to compare 2 and X.

Holy crap is Metal Slug 2 slow. I've never had this much problem with slowdowns before this game.
No kidding. It's always been that way which was why Metal Slug X was such a big deal when it released with less slowdown.
Believe it or not, MS2 has a programming bug which artificially caused more slowdown than was necessary. It's insane that such a high quality release came out in such a shoddy state back then.

Twinkle Star Sprites would be the best! I had it on Dreamcast back in the day. My friend accidentally yanked on the controller and pulled the Dreamcast off of the shelf with TSS inside. It was scratched beyond repair!

The neo geo station version on Ps3 has a toggle that overclocks the game and it runs much much better. That was m2 though. They know what they are doing.
Ms2>msx btw.
These hamster releases are really not to my liking.
Sadly that one falls under Sega now so probably no chance. Same for Matrimelee.

Gutted! Oh well!
Martimelee has such an amazing OST. Plus the backgrounds were tailored to the songs! After seeing a hundred ports of Metal Slug and KOF over the years, a Matrimelee port is something I'd actually get excited about.

I'm not sure the rights to Matrimelee actually are with Atlus/Sega. Atlus did originally have the Power Instinct series, but AFAIK Noise Factory licensed full rights to Matrimelee when they developed it (seems to be supported by http://snk.wikia.com/wiki/Power_Instinct_Matrimelee), and it was published by Playmore for the original Neo release. Even weirder was when they released the port (basically a slightly updated "version 1.5" type release, addition of a few old Power Instinct characters but with some removals like the RotD characters) on PS2 in Japan - that one was again developed by Noise Factory, but published by Excite. Excite as in the company most famous for the web search engine that was popular in the late 90s.
Though, the 2009 Goketsuji Ichizoku Matsuri Senzo Kuyou seems to be published by Atlus, as does the 2010 pachinko machine. Not sure what that means for Matrimelee in particular though.
At any rate, it's certainly possible that convoluted nature of the IP ownership situation might be an issue for Hamster. Who knows though, could be something the current SNK has the ability to license, or that Sega/Atlus owns and is OK licensing out to make some easy money.

How is the emulation handled? Do the games run well?
Also what's the overall best ones to get? I love pretty much all the Neo geo classics and fighting games.
