ACA Punch-Out coming next week in Japan (and i guess rest of the world?)
March 30th
Picked up Waku Waku this morning.
My 5 year old son is already a huge fan.
What is up with Hamster ACA releases on ps4? The last release was KoF 98 and Metal Slug 3 on February 26, 2018.Awesome. I will buy it on the US PlayStation store when it becomes available in the year 2040.
Why, WHY hasn't Baseball Stars 2 been released on either PS4 or Switch yet?
Best baseball game ever made. I eagerly await it on pretty much any goddamn platform except the PSP one.

Thanks for the update! Sad to see so many PS4 titles missing because they're currently only available in Japan. :/So, I updated the OP's chart a tiny bit. Feel free to let me know if there are any errors or mistakes. I plan to update the rest of the OP later today.
I do want to address one thing: sometimes Hamster will claim that a game has been released on PS4/XB1, but it's only available in Japan. A recent example is Waku Waku 7 on PS4.
How does it compare to something like the Chronicles of Mystara? I've always preferred run 'n guns to beat 'em ups but I loved CoM.
Hm, that's a tough one. Sengoku 3 has probably the deepest combat mechanics of any 2D side-scrolling beat em' up of that era (except for maybe Guardian Heroes on the Saturn), but CoM has the RPG elements that give it a bit more depth than anything else in the genre. That's why Dragon's Crown was, in essence, a spiritual successor to CoM all those years later.How does it compare to something like the Chronicles of Mystara?

Cool, thanks for your input. I'm gonna give it a shot.Hm, that's a tough one.

I think that you'll like Sengoku 3 if you liked CoM, however. They're both great.
Last Thursday!

Sengoku 3 is probably the best scrolling beat-em-up on the Neo Geo. Though it's lacks a bit of personality, and the combat is a bit stiff feeling compared to something like AvP or even most of Capcom's other games.
No, that was only some of the first releases, and they were fixed as well.Quick question: do the Neo Geo games on Switch still suffer from the dark filter and sound delay?
I don't think so. Anyway did you buy it? How does it play?Is there an OT for the Code Mystics Neo Geo ports on PS4/Vita?
I just found out that King of Fighters 97 Global Match is a thing and it came out last tuesday.
Hamster and SNK will be announcing the next batch of ACA Neo Geo titles on April 26. Their live stream starts at 7pm JST.So are they going to announce the next lineup of ACA releases after Real Bout Special drops on the 19th? Is that usually how it goes?
In the end nobody on the internet knew the answer to this, so I emailed Hamster directly. They responded pretty quickly (which I appreciated) and told me that the debug mode is inaccessible, and so are the boss characters. Something to consider for anyone looking at this version of the game, since I believe the Kyo/Iori/Chizuru ending is the 'true' one.Does anyone know how to access the debug mode in KoF 96 (or any of these)? Pretty sure that's what I need to use to access the bosses, but I cannot find it documented anywhere.

Thanks for the info! It's really unfortunate that we're missing the extra stuff in home versions. :/In the end nobody on the internet knew the answer to this, so I emailed Hamster directly.

Ironclad is also available on the Humble Store, if you're interested in PC gaming.While it will be a weird release, giving that this never saw an arcade release, my dreamed game in this collection is 'Ironclad'.
Come on Hamster, you can rewrite the video game history creating an alternate timeline in which 'Ironclad' existed inside an arcade cabinet.
The Wii release doesn't look good in a LCD TV. I need this game with a nice CRT shader and scanlines.
Cool. Can I get their email. I would like to ask them a question.In the end nobody on the internet knew the answer to this, so I emailed Hamster directly.

What pixel perfect filter? You mean just no blur filter?That nightmare scenario has been averted. Still strange to me that it happened.
Now, someone tell me why the pixel perfect filter isn't selected by default.

I'm more perplexed by why there's no scanlines without blur option. Mind-boggling, honestly.
Thank you!
This rings a bell from digging into the Saturn version a bunch at the time, but what was the intention for arcade players? Was the ending meant to be inaccessible?In the end nobody on the internet knew the answer to this, so I emailed Hamster directly.
