Plays like a standard RPG and it's the only one on the Neo Geo. (Shinsetsu Samurai Spirits: Bushidō Retsudan)ĭue to the huge popularity of RPGs SNK decided they needed their own, and here it is. This is the better version because it's on CD so better quality music! Yep, on almost every system ever but not the AES. Also ported to a lot of plaforms, including Playstation 2, Playstation 3, Playstation Portable, Gameboy Advance, Nintendo DS, Nintendo Wii etc. Hand drawn animation, cruel humor & a lot of hostages to save. Also on the Dreamcast.įirst title of a one of the best Run n' Gun series. The best port of one of the best fighting games ever, it has much less loading times than it's predecessor and a fully orchestral arranged soundtrack.Ī homebrew shoot'em up made by the NG:DEV team, it is very similar to the R-Type games, down to the brutal difficulty. (Warning: any MVS or AES cart you may find will be an unofficial repro from the VC's ROM). It is one of the few exclusives on the console, and a must have.Ī very good, very rare, very expensive, Japan-only, CD-exclusive, side-scrolling shmup. You can also get emulators for Dreamcast and the original Xbox that will play original NGCD games but have faster load times, if you don't mind using those systems controllers.Ī Neo Geo CD exclusive sequel to Crossed Swords, now featuring three playable characters (one of them a ninja, so instant awesome!) and two game modes (story and arena). RGB also available through the MultiAV port. All have built-in Composite and S-Video ports.
It has a 2x CD Drive that cuts down on load times, but it's very expensive and doesn't make that big of a difference. The second has a top loader, the most common model available. The first one has a mechanical CD tray, only released in Japan. While it was technically almost identical to the Neo Geo, and most of its titles were ports, all of those had rearranged CD-based soundtracks it also had a handful of exclusives, as well as some MVS ports that the original AES didn't get. Still, its main problem was the bad timing: the 5th generation had already begun, and it was clear that a pure 2D console could not compete for much longer. Well, you get what you pay for: it was plagued with annoying loading times (say, up to a minute between each round of a fighting game), and it came with a gamepad instead of the badass Neo Geo arcade-style controller. The Neo Geo CD was released four years later, to offer the same games at a much lower cost.
The Neo Geo was truly a beast in 1990, but that came with a price tag: $650 for the AES console and past $200 for each game. "Don't cross the line unless you're serious."
