LOL, I have to get use to this. I almost reported LadyAnayumi because I thought it said Reply.




Anyway, since Japan is getting suce a special day for VC releases, maybe we will get one for Neo Geo. Hey SNKP, how about launching the Neo Geo with 10 games over here in the states. The Japanese get everything else so why not. God I wish Samurai Shodown or King of Fighters was one of the first, but I'll take anything from the Neo Geo since I love that system to death (heck, in reality, all they need to do is release Last Blade 1 and 2 and then I'm done).

Hey, A1. Good to see that you made it here.

And they'd better not start with 10 games because, to me, that would mean that they would delay the Neo Geo for several months (letting the games accumulate). There's simply no way that they'll release 10 games now.

I FINALLY found a site that I can upload pics through my ps3.

Anyway heres 2 pics of the Neogeo game (PLease let this work...)

(Please tell me the pics work!)

Love the yellow for the intro..

Garou Densetsu, two Fire Emblems, SMB. 2 and another Famicom game... you like torturing us, don't you?

YES I LOVE TORTURING YPU! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!111

NO I do NOT like torturing you....jeeze...I just thought I ould post pics of what the NeoGeo game looked like >.>

BTW: That other famicom game is pacman...XD

BTW: BTW: Final Fury takes up 72 blocks for those who were worrying about the NG games being alot of blocks.

Nah, I was joking with the torture thing. I should have added an emoticon to emphasize that.

About the game size, we're not really worried about size in regards to the first Neo Geo games. They weren't actually that big. But later in the console's life (the Giga Power era), the size of the games was greatly increased.

Delay it? Man they are just throwing roms on the internet, lol. I bet SNKP can release all their games right now if they wanted to.

You know how I am though, I want all the Neo Geo games as soon as possible.

What I meant is that, for them to release such a high number of games so fast, it would have to be something like what happened in Australia, with the late introduction of the TG16. They released 10+ games when they introduced the console, and then kept a steady 3-5 releases a week, just to catch up.

I don't know if SNKP would want to release a big number of games that fast, but even if they wanted to, you know that Nintendo is the one that controls the releases, and I'm sure they wouldn't allow it.

Yeah, I know, you're itching to play some Neo Geo, but my guess is that, as soon as the first game is released, there should be a steady stream of releases (I think three a month would be a good number). Hopefully for you, Last Blade won't be left for last.

Believe me, if they hold off that outstanding gem for last, somebody is going to die. Plus, not to many people knew about Last Blade back in the day (which is why many people say Street Fighter 3 is the best fighter out there, of course, that's all opinion


), so for SNKP to release it early will get it noticed.

I understand what you are talking about now, but, I mean, there is no rule to delay the system so you can launch with more than 1 game is it?

LOL. I expected nothing less from you . Well, actually I learned about Last Blade from SNK vs. Capcom Card Fighter's Clash, since Kaede and Akari appeared in the game, if my memory serves me right. I finally played a Last Blade game when I got Last Blade 2 for the DC. Unfortunately, I didn't play it much because, at that time, my playtime was already short (maybe a bit less than what it is now).

I guess people on this side of the pond are more crazy about Metroid than the Japanese.

Actually, the Japanese are more crazy about Super Metroid than us Americans. Super Metroid sold way more in Japan than it did over here in North America.

So they are getting World Heroes next. Hmmmm. We better be getting Neo Geo games next Monday then. If not, somebody is going to die. I seriously hope that SNKP USA don't go by the same release schedule as the SNKP Japan.

Hmmm, I just watched the trailer of Magician Lord on Gamespot, apparently that's releasing next week as well.

I've heard a few people say that was a good game. It's not a fighter, though, right? Any insight on this one?

To be honest with you man, I never played this game before, lol. I never even heard of it until I made that site.




From what I do know about this game, however, it's a side-scroller platforming game where you play as this magician who can change into different forms. One of the forms I remember seeing is a Ninja. I've heard plenty of people say that this was an outstanding game for the Neo Geo (I wouldn't doubt it, SNK was great developers, not just for fighters), so I'll definitely pick it up.

One of the things I hear about Neo Geo platformers (Blues Journey definitely) is that they are hard, but short games. It makes sense since these are arcade games though.

Update: What the heck is going on? I just checked NOJ's VC website and now World Heroes is not scheduled for next Tuesday. Could it be that there are now problems with that game's emulation?

They toying with you man. SNKP apparently is saying that both Magician Lord and World Heroes will be coming out next week in that video on gamespot. Maybe those games will have it's own day like Super Metroid and Sin and Punishment this week.

That could be the reason (I didn't know about that GS video). Thanks for the info, A1.

Update: As usual, three games are going to be released today (at 12pm EST) on the US VC:

• Kirby's Avalanche (SNES)
• Streets of Rage 3 (Sega Genesis)
• Legend of Hero Tonma (Turbografx-16)

_________________________________________________
We finally got our SNES game of the month, the third Kirby game released on the US VC: Kirby's Avalanche. In Sega's case, they did it again, they just released Streets of Rage 3, a game recently seen on the ESRB website, going over three other games that were listed before it. Hudson delivered as promised with the release of Legend of Hero Tonma. And last but not least, no surprises, no Neo Geo games this month.

And as for my predictions, I only got one right this week: Legend of Hero Tonma. Man, that was tough.

UPDATE: Three new game releases in Japan:

• Druaga no Tou (The Tower of Druaga) (Famicom)
• Gradius III (Super Famicom)
• Landstaker: Koutei no Zaihou (Landstaker: The Treasures of King Nole) (Sega Mega Drive)

_________________________________________________
Looks like this is the last update for the month in Japan, unless they come up with another irregular release like last week. One thing I'd like to note is that Japan played catch-up this month with some of the consoles: First, with the Super Famicom as they released Super Metroid, which has been available in the US for a month already, and Gradius III, which has been available in the US since April. And second, with the Mega Drive, given that we got Landstaker at the beginning of the month, while they're just getting it today.
