'99 has that beautiful rain stage though.
What gets me is that there are three versions of this stage and some other stages to show progression of time. Insane amount of work.

I still think that KoF backgrounds peaked with '95.So about that KOF '99.
I enjoy the heck out of it. But it's one of the weirder games in the series. Someone at SNK thought people still liked Extra mode, so they combined it with Advanced mode and gave us '99's red life SDM system and that weird roll dodge. Also, it's probably the last Neo Geo KOF where there's real effort and artistry in the background art.
2000 feels like it was affected by the bankruptcy proceeding, and the backgrounds don't look as nice because of it... I think. 2001 has poor backgrounds, mainly because of the washed out colours, but there's a lot stuff going on in them. 2002 is better but it's still kind of lacking - I can't really explain it. 2003's backgrounds are probably on the level of 2000.
Can you be kind enough and tell me if you can bind several buttons on the triggers ? Or put the Striker on a trigger at least ? Thanks.So about that KOF '99.

Any chance we'll be seeing Street Hoops or Soccer Brawl on the eshop?
You don't like KOF 97 much ? I find them amazing, probably my favorite onesMy favorite KoF backgrounds (neo geo SNK era) are 96>95>99>98>94>97>2000
Soccer Brawl is the more likely of the two--SNK owns that one outright, whereas Street Hoops was a Data East game so it'd take a little extra work to re-release.

Striker (BC) is defaulted to ZL, dodge (AB) is on ZR. There's no other hotkey choices though.Can you be kind enough and tell me if you can bind several buttons on the triggers ? Or put the Striker on a trigger at least ? Thanks.
I love the 2nd version of the background with the heat haze coming from the jet engine of the airliner. I can't find a gif of it unfortunately.YOOO, think I just stumbled onto one of my all time favorite backgrounds in any fighter, ever
absolutely stunning!
Thanks ! Will buy the gameStriker (BC) is defaulted to ZL, dodge (AB) is on ZR. There's no other hotkey choices
I bought Shock Troopers. It's quite fun, and I dig the multiple routes and hi-score challenges, but it doesn't have the same level of addictive play as Mercs did for me (I really hope that comes to Switch).
I'm not quite sure what it is, but I don't feel very compelled to play it after completing it a couple of times.
Did anyone else feel similar but perhaps find another Neo Geo title that felt more re-playable? I feel silly saying this about Shock Troopers as it seems like the perfect re-playable title, but I'm just not feeling it.
Last boss worth the price on its own.I felt the same.about Shock Troopers. But then I bought BLAZING STAR. It's a very nice shooter, with a hilarious engrish translation.
Friendly reminder to anyone not versed in the Metal Slug series: skip 2 and wait for X instead.
Do any of you play the fighting games in handheld mode? Are they ok playing with the joystick?
2 is different enough from X though. Nothing wrong with owning and playing both if available.
I do it most of the time since they are not exactly definitive versions of the game, so it's nice to play arcade mode wherever.
Fine to play with the joystick, and the fake d-pad can actually be pretty decent as well. Just don't expect it to be as good as a real dpad obviously.
So about that KOF '99.

i know it's not a neo geo game, i would love a release of snk vs capcom
Sega and Namco tend to have their own retro initiatives, they won't bother working with Hamster. Same for Capcom.Funny thing is that if Hamster push hard enough, we could fucking LITERALLY have the entire Neo Geo line-up on Switch within three years of the system's life. Wikipedia claims there are 148 games, and we get one a week (after the initial bunch).
Hamster are really something else if they pull this off.
They obviously need to get other games on there from other consoles/arcade systems. How about knocking on Sega and Namco's door? HMM?!

Right now Hamster works with SNK, Konami, Taito, Arc System Works (Technos), G-Mode (Data East), Tecmo, Sunsoft, Clarice Games (Jaleco) Asya (UPL) and LAT (Escape, Westone) on Arcade Archives. Hamster also already owns rights to rights to games from Nichibutsu.

Twist: 98 on the Dreamcast was actually called 99...My friends and I were more into KoF '98 on the Dreamcast than any fighting game I can think of. But '99 was so different it was a letdown...I still played it a bunch but it didn't have the magic that '98 did.
Last Resort confirmed for Thursday!

How good is that compared to other shooters?

I need an additional dock for vacations though. I want to connect the switch to hotel TVs.
I hope Nintendo lets me buy a dock only soon.
