LOL sorry, I was hoping for some third party titles and TBH this list doesn't really appeal to me. I might give Super Sidekicks 2 a shot though.

Here's a few Ninja Combat coverage & reviews from 1990 & 1991 when it was still new.

I find it amusing that EGM rates as the game's difficulty as "Easy" yet one of the most common complaints in the review is the abuse of using continues? It's just ironic to make the claim of a game being easy yet you die so much you rely on continue feeding to actually finish the game.
There is a reason why 1 credit runs exist in Shoot'em Ups and Arcade Beat Em Ups, because of the delicate challenge on the basis of being able to beat them game without resorting to quarter feeding.

Even some famous youtubers and "influencers" believe that coin feeding was the norm when playing arcade games. Another idea that feeds to the modern narrative of "console gaming was better than the arcades" nonsense.
Ninja Combat is the only AES game I can think of that gives the player more than just 4 credits for continues for some reason or another.
Yeah I have to intentionally avoid reviews of arcade style games, particular shooting games.. They credit feed, then moan about how short the game is.. ugh.
I love how Hamster is slowly adding video capture to ACA NEOGEO releases on Nintendo Switch. I believe everything released after Magical Drop III included has vidcap. First vidcap retro-update was Metal Slug 3, and most recently I think they updated Waku Waku 7.

Does anyone else have audio clipping issues with some games in docked mode? Aero Fighters 3 was updated not long ago, but I'm still getting clipping issues when docked, not as bad as the example here, but still with noticeable clipping:

The same game session, captured in handheld, no sound issues:

Other games where sound clipping is very evident: Samurai Shodown, Samurai Shodown 2.

Goddamn that EGM review is sad.
Nobody ever thought "Maybe I should try playing without continues?"
What really drives me crazy is that "unlimited continues" is pretty much all the reviews talk about. They could have picked any Neo Geo game out of a hat and wrote the exact same review.
It's a freaking joke.

Hamster announced some new Neo Geo games for Switch. I'm assuming most (all) of these will also come to PS4/XB1 in the future as well.

Those look pretty good. Super Spy in particular. How's Money Puzzle Exchanger?
Having played Money Puzzle Exchanger and Puzzle Fighter a bunch, I never realized how much of SPF2T's look seems lifted from MPE.
This is the best game ever. Best way to play competitively is for both players to be Eldylabor. Most fair and fun garbage pattern.
I've played 100 hours of this game.
rumor is the company FACE was sued by magical drop over this game, but all the referecnes reference each other so not sure. ps1 version sucks, but assumed this one was stuck in legal limbo.
So is Money Idol just a Magical Drop ripoff like how most NG games rip off something, or is it actually a unique twist on it? I'm up for more puzzle action games like it, I just wanna know if it stands out and isn't cloney.
Missed the stream. Did Hamster announce what was coming to the other systems like they normally do? Last Blade 2 is already available on PSN/XBL.
I'll gladly take World Heroes Perfect.

It's basically Magical Drop, but instead of matching three pieces all the time, you match together either two coins or five coins based on their money amount. (1,5,10,50,100,500) When you match them together, they change into a coin of the next highest value. As a huge Magical Drop fan, I found it overly gimmicky and worse than every Magical Drop except maybe the original, but everyone else likes it so I suppose that you can take my opinion with a grain of salt.
And yeah, Data East apparently sued Face into oblivion over the game, which is amusing because MPE was a more original "clone" than Fighter's History was to Street Fighter, lol
Are neo geo bootlegs getting real good cause I bought a Samurai Showdown 3 mvs game from ebay for $50 and it looks brand new. I popped it open and the boards looked like they were supposed to from the online scans of original carts. I am brand new to collecting for this system.
I remember getting a copy of Hagane on UK SNES for £28 that looked like a repro, but upon opening it, it turned out to be legit. So hey, you might have got lucky, you never know.
Mind you, if you had gotten lucky, you'd have received a copy of SamSho V Special and not the worst SamSho (imo).

That goes without saying, and should not need to be said in any Neo-Geo thread. Nippon Banzai and all that.
Besides, we're talking Samurai Shodown here, of which the worst entry is still a good game. Even 64 and Sen were better than, say, their contemporary Mortal Kombat iterations (if only just).
It's just that (mostly) Namco, (especially) ASW, (with a little help from their friends) Capcom and (when they could be arsed) Sega raised the bar so high in the intervening time. Thank goodness SNK rose from almost-death like the proverbial Phoenix and proved that they still have it in them to produce greatness (say what you want, I rate KOF XIV as a very satisfactory "first try" of sorts), otherwise we might still be talking about them in the past tense!
Sen is one of the worst fighting games ever. I find it hard to argue it's better than any of its contemporaries.
To be fair, it was up against Mortal Kombat Armageddon and MK vs DC Universe. Kind of a toss-up.
Good thing for NRS that they raised their game with the MK reboot, but by that time SNK Playmore had already released KOF XIII, so...
SamSho 4 is now available on the PS Store in Europe! :D
But there's more to fighting games than SNK and NRS though. BattleFantasia was also out around that time and it sure as hell beats Sen ;)

Sometimes staring at the ACA list of games on eshop 74! games is intimidating.
I was thinking Garuo and Sam Sho II. Isn't Money Exchanger or whatever it is name coming soon? That looked neat. I also liked the puzzle bobble games, but I am honestly just overwhelmed with all the games.
Then add in the 40th anniversary SNK stuff coming and there will be overlap so I kind of want wait for that.

For what's its worth, the SNK 40th anniversaty collection is all pre neo geo games. None of them will show up in that collection.
Oh good, for some reason I thought I saw somewhere that Metal Slug games would be on there.
Super late reply but all of these are out/coming out on PS4/XBO as well. The Last Blade 2 has previously been released on PS4/XBO so they got The King of Fighters 2000 instead.Hamster announced some new Neo Geo games for Switch.

Looking forward to Money Idol Exchanger this week!
Have these games ever gone on sale? I have Metal Slug 1, X and 3 in my wish list, and I haven't seen them go on sale ever.
Only once on US PSN, and that's for the normal ACA series. Don't ever expect these to be on sale.
I don't think I've ever seen ACA Neo Geo titles go on sale. The Code Mystics port of Metal Slug 3 was just $4.49 during the Flash Sale which ended 2 days ago. It's cross-buy and you get all 3 versions (PS4/PS3/PSV).

Huh? What? Where did you learn this?
Also, why not Special?! God I'm feeling so many emotions right now. I NEED SamShoV Special on my Switch.
Just randomly showed up on the eShop! I wonder what this means for The Super Spy.
V Special should be coming eventually, if it's not tied in licensing limbo like Windjammers.
I only learned of Prehistoric Isle 2 yesterday. Now I really want it.
Downloaded The Super Spy for PS4 last night. It's been many years butI don't remember the Engrish being this hilariously awesome.
