Yakumo1975 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I know this is not technically Neo Geo but it does contain a load of Neo Geo games plus knock offs if that is the right word. I'm actually confused about the crouching Tiger games. To me they just seem to be King of Fighter knock offs. Is that right? Anyway, I thought this would be a good place to put this video. If not, please do let me know and I'll move it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattyjjenkins Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 (edited) Right! Hello all! This time when I say "finally Im back"I mean it. Ive had all the stitches out on my skull (pointless info but I thought Id let people know) and now I'm just waiting for my newly placed left ear to take! I miss the forum when I'm away! Ant that KingOfFighters Anime is awesome, I really hope SNK put it on a BluRay as one film not episodic. Hi guys, NeoSD on the neo-geo.com forums started a new thread discussing their new products in the near future.

We have made money with NEOSD but we haven´t earned money with NEOSD. We had to hire and pay a lot of people for pcb design, fpga coding and other tasks such as mold design.

About 50% of what we sell goes there : VAT (only in Europe), Compnay taxes and such things Our plan for the first year was to invest everything back in new products and so we did. So where this all goes ? If we want to keep developing, we need to make money and if we want to make money we have to make products that as much people as possible want.

As more units you produce better prices you can get buying ics, pcbs, mounting those at factory and so.

I really feel that with our current team we can build anything we or you can imagine. The big issue here is that our resources are limited, so to me the challenge here is not only choose what product to develop to maximize sales, but also to find more skilled people to join our company so we can grow.

I played both on the Atomiswave when they debuted in the arcades. Neo Wave (IMO) is a better game. I did find Colosseum unspectacular even for 2D standards for its time. While others were going into higher resolution and lively animated backgrounds, Colosseum was behind with the times for what it had to offer.

enoofu Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Personally I would recommend The King Of Fighters XI if you want to go the Sammy route NeoBattleColosseum and KOF NeoWave both have issues The King Of Fighters Neowave kinda feels like a Romhack of 98 with 2001 Artwork, so if you a big fan of 98 you would probably like it NeoBattleColosseum basically is 98 with a crazy tag system, with updated background but not avatars so it look ugly NeoBattleColosseum 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I've seen an actual arcade over here apart from at the seaside and there full of the 1P and 2P push machines! Is there a proper arcade were you are? I love KOF 13/14 there so good! I love the special edition in the UK the cool sleeve and steelbook with the DLC Kyo costume. Personally I thought 13 looked nice but the actually playing was a bit off, but 14 was awesome SNK really nailed it, wright up there with USF4 as a brilliant 'modern' fighter! Are you actually talking about the NeoSD cart? Ive said it once and I'll say it again but I'm so thankful you turned me on to this Ant! I was a bit iffy with the CGI anime but its a really good episodic series and really hope SNK release this as a whole continues film!

MJ "Are you actually talking about the NeoSD cart?" Electronics in general from China and Taiwan as they tend to have poor Quality Control, either you end up with good batch or bad batch's. Mostly do to the way those governments make sure no one is fired, and rapid turnover in Asian Electronics industry. Hopefully NeoSD doesn't go down this path in the end, as Eastern Europe is almost as cheap but you end up with professionals. Horrible enough already that Foxconn basically the only one manufacturing the current Nintendo's PlayStation and MS I'm not a Jag fan but it looks like you got a nice haul there 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattyjjenkins Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Yeah I get that Chinese or Taiwan made electronics are pretty poor when it comes to build quality but is the NeoSD Chinese made? Mine seems brilliant quality and the package, box, paper-work while it won't set the work alight it all pretty nice. Sorry if thats not what you meant but Im confused, you'll have to forgive me got a dodgy brain! lol And Im a on/off Jag fan don't love it anywhere near My CDZ or Cart Neo but at the price this haul was and everything Atari seal and new, I couldn't resist! Must get crazy to have a Marvel vs Cap II next to a Samurai Shodown II in a 4 score MVS cab With World famous Tic Tac Toe and Dancing HAHAHA! Would kill me for sure! Hahaha.

Thats insane did the keep the NAOMI JAMMA set Ant or get rid of it? To replace MvC2 With the Rumble Fish 2 while a good game, looks and plays well but its no MvC2 theres no way Id get rid of that amazing NAOMI system for that AtomisWave game! No way! Dose that Arcade ever sell the games to the public? MJ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
