This review's a joke, this snippet from SS:

"Granted, it could’ve used online play"

ALL the Neo Geo Station fighting games have online play, that's what Network Mode IS. Research, people...

Corrected. Thanks for the heads-up.

Most neo geo games are great but I think snk are asking too much for them. I was expecting maybe $3 or $4 a piece but $9 a piece is too much. Maybe back when the neo geo was commercially available the price(even though it was very expensive back then) was more realistic considering the high manufacturing cost due mostly to the high cost of materials involved in making the products. But now they should cost no more than $5 max a piece. Especially considering that more than half of them are available in game compilations that were/are available for last gen consoles for a fraction of the $9 a piece asking price for each game. I have more than half of these games(+ more other neo geo games that are a part of "said" compilations) on my many neo geo compilations that I own for ps2, but I will wait until they drop down to $5 a piece before getting the ones that I don't have. These are good games and I fully encourage people to get them if they have no other way of getting these games besides their non backwards compatible(with ps2 games) ps3, but I don't think any of them is worth $9 a piece for digital versions of the games even with online play. I fully intend to get 4 of them that I don't officially have when the price drops, otherwise I will stick to the ps2 compilations that I officially own and the games that I don't officially own I will stick to neo geo emulation on the pc in the meantime until the price drops.

Would love to see updates to SNK games to modern day gameplay. Never got to see Samurai Showdown RPG over in the West. Update that to today. Make it bladed action, open world but like SF6 is doing but 2D fighting in an arena when fighting major bosses. I've also always wanted Namco to do an open world Soul Calibur game. Here's hoping they're listening too. It kind of was done with a homebrew game called Art of Fighting South Town in Openbor. Would like to see real games made though.

Update Ninja Masters, Breakers, Last Blade, Shock Troopers, Wind Jammers, Cross Swords, Metal Slug, Top Hunter, etc etc. Would be interesting to see modern takes as long as they are made well.

I'm ready.

The rpg doesn't need to be action though. Leave it be if it wasn't action.

Give us updates on those amazing shmups, Last resort, Alpha mission 2, Blazing star, Pulstar, Prehistoric Isle 2, Ghost pilots. The same treatment as Andros dunos received:)

A fatal fury rpg ala soul calibur legends.
Sounds interesting. Especially if they use pixel art take it to the next level.

I just want Real Bout 3 dammit, is it too much to ask? Do I have to make it myself with M.U.G.E.N. or what?
But then again, I don't think M.U.G.E.N. would allow that "Out of Bounds" mechanic to work very well, if at all...
