Thanks for doing the Big Red god's work, BadWolf. Happy to see the old neogeo guard slowly assembling here (This is DracoBlade, btw). Maybe we could branch the title in the OP to "SNK Community and NEOGEO Appreciation Thread" though? Would love to have a one stop location to talk shop about classic NeoGeo hardware and the latest happenings with SNK without having to divert attention to different threads inevitably.
They should bring back Moe and Miu from the GBA games. They deserve another chance.
I played some Battle Coliseum again today and man its so good. Especially now that i am more experienced in fighting games. Ioris Riot of the Blood super is so badass, Ryo has a freakin Buriki super that i didnt know of where you use the stick to do punch/kick inputs... Im so ready for a sequel. I forgot how much fun it was and how much cool shit it has in it. The bosses can go to hell tho.
And i like your new avatar, BadWolf :P
May as well post this here since I don't think there's anywhere else for it.
I am looking to buy a replacement screen for my NGPC. Has anyone had any experience switching them out? Wondering how difficult it is. I found a YouTube video or two that look to go over it but haven't checked them out yet.
I really love my NGPC. Any other fans among the RE community?
No prob and it's great to see you here and everyone trickle in slowly.
This thread is for everything SNK, including Neo Geo (which is why I mentioned talking both about new and old games in the first post). I could try having the thread title changed if you guys like but I thought people would see the current title as inclusive to everything SNK.

A place to discuss everything SNK, from their current games to their masterpieces of old. Figured it would be good to have a place to gather and talk about everything from Neo Geo and games to news, instead of being scattered among smaller threads.
Ooops. Noted. Edited my post.The aca games still count since they are re releaes of neo geo games anyways
Also street fighter 3 didnt exist when aof3 released :v
Always regretted not getting one back in the day. Unfortunately I don't think I'll be able to appreciate it properly if I got it now :/
Totally concur! I would much rather this be inclusive of all SNK/NEOGEO talks as well!
Still regularly play mine just to grind points in Last Blade (which arguably might be the most compelling Last Blade game with all of its exhaustive content and addictive RPG elements). Idk about screen replacements but I personally got mine front-lit modded by JNX (a champion among men) who used a salvaged gameboy SP screen/light. I can help you get into contact with him if you need/would like to talk shop with him about doing the same BUT, fair warning, he is a busy man and it will likely take months for him to complete your request! Totally worth it though!
Mind linking to their online shop? I wanna try shipping to Hong Kong and then to here >=3Hey y'all what's good---
Goodbye y'all

SNK'S online shop has full poster reprints of popular boxarts like RBFF and KOF97 BUT THEY WONT SHIP HERE!!!!!!!!!! IN THE US!!!!!
EDIT: SPEAK OF THE DEVIL!
My book arrived! My brother picked it up from the post office on the way home, but for some reason they listed the item as Suppliments or some such. weird lol.
Man this book is huge and has lots of neat stuff including
SKETCHES OF UNMASKED GRANT!
:O

Do you mind people discussing the ACA Neo Geo releases from Hamster?
Art of Fighting 3 comes out on Thursday for Switch. SNK put lots of frames of animation in the movement of the characters and a little bit of motion capture (I think). Very interesting graphics on this game.
I gotta say its a real bummer that there is no real good way to play KOF XI or that a UM ever came out for it. It's probably my favorite of all the KOF games and the one I put the most time into. It had such a great roster, all the sub-bosses that were fleshed out and the PS2 version brought in a lot of kof mainstays via their NGBC version. I just want an entry that revisits that system.

I dug mine out of my basement after not touching it for oh ten+ years and fell in love with the thing all over again. If you enjoy fighting games you'll be surprised how well the ones on the NGPC hold up. It is truly a great system.
Hopefully that SNK store starts shipping internationally soon. It's interesting how they just opened a small shop on amazon first but then changed their minds and opened their own full on store.
XI also has a lot of great characters that aren't playable elsewhere like Gai, Oswald, Momoko, Shion etc. so that makes it even more of a bummer that it isn't widely available. Maybe there is some kind of issue preventing them from porting it or making it difficult? Kind of like how there is a very low chance of an MGS4 port ever happening due to technical issues.
EU PSN linkACA HAMSTER uploaded a free theme in honor of the 1 year anniversary of the neo geo ACA series, has anyone downloaded it yet? it sucks how hard is to find themes for the ps4, both on the console and the webstore
I wonder if its in some sort of Limbo due to being an Atominswave game. Either way i just want a re-release if they're not going to revisit the mechanics.

Man i really want Shermie to come back in the next KOF or whatever, she's such an awesome character in both design and moveset.
I can't praise SNKs characters enough. Obviously got some stinkers too but the positives outweigh the negatives here.
Preordered this last month. It should arrive sometime next week hopefully.
They should bring back Moe and Miu from the GBA games. They deserve another chance.
I'm glad this thread exists, great initiative!
I like the idea of an attack clash system, but my mindset could never transition from the moment of the clash to coming up with a half decent sequence when that triggered that custom combo mode the game has.
Some great stages and music in there too, especially the Egyptian one.
Also, the (unfortunately) versus-only character-specific victory quotes - Ryo being an ass by mentioning he'd cut Ash's carefully painted nails was a refreshing take on a character that the writers haven't used that well in these past few years.
