+Charlie Cat Posted November 7, 2017 Author Share Posted November 7, 2017 Thanks Anthony. I'm really excited to get it. It comes with one of the bean shaped joysticks, which I hear are nice. As far as games, it comes with Last Blade 2. I'm not sure what to get next. I'm thinking Savage Reign or FF Special. Can you recommend a <$50 non-fighting game? Come Christmas time I might pick up Viewpoint or Sonic Wings 2 or some other desirable one. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-J727AZ using Tapatalk Hey zeta, You're welcome. We're glad that you're excited that you got yourself a NGCD unit. So many games to play for sure. Now as far as games that I can recommend that are non fighters, Sonic Wings 2 and Viewpoint are a good start. To help you continue with your lists, Here's a list of starter titles that I have in mind that happen to be $50+ dollars and under. 2020 Super Baseball Football Frenzy League Bowling Power Spikes II Rally Chase Fire Suplex Baseball Stars 2 JoyJoy Kid Ninja Combat Crossed Swords Ghost Pilots Puzzle Bobble Last Resort These games I personally have and searched to make sure it won't affect your budget.... I do have others in mind, but its about 70+ and more.....So will start from the foundation to the top at this point to get you in the right direction. I would also recommend the NGCD controller as well zeta. To have the controller in your hand will be thought about at times for convenience purposes. Its around under $40 bucks used on Ebay. So that's no biggie. Feel free to ask anymore inquires or concerns you have zeta. We're here to help. Anthony.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattyjjenkins Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Zetastrike - Hey Im chuffed to here you just bought a NeoCD! First of all Ive gotta ditto Ant and welcome you here, Im still new myself but you'll find everyone to be super helpful and If you any question, queries or need help or advice theres always someone here to help, there a friendly bunch, you won't find attitudes or egos here, I love it and Im sure you will! As I said chuffed to here you've joined the NeoCD crew! Im a HUGE fan of he CD as a whole! For a long time my top loader was me preferred way to enjoy Neo Games a lot of people don't like the load times, they are long theres no hiding that but its not something that ever bothered me! Ive a CDZ now and the load times on that are much shorter not quiet up to speed with my HomeCart but side by side there isn't masses of difference for sure. Ive recently, in the last few months had Razoolas Universe BIOS fitted to my CDZ and thats opened it wright up, its amazing, Id advise you getting that done at some point! Theres so many great games on the CD and although the prices are heading north, right now theres no super insane prices like you'll find with the AES. I adore my CDZ and the CD platform as a whole and as I said theres so many great games out there, I saw above you asking for 'non fighting' recommendations, is there a genre in particular you like? MJ A bit messy but I'm still rearranging and setting my games room up!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There all must have games for me, all but the BaseBall games, only because even 'arcady' BaseBall games Ive no idea what to do!! And Puzzle Bobble a CD exclusive is AMAZEING, a real triple AAA game! A real must have! My CDZ and CD collection and the majority of it was bought new off the shelve in Japan, so I'm the first and only user of them, including the console!

zetastrike Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Hey, thanks for the welcome everyone. As far as genres go, I don't really care what the game is as long as it's fun to play. Right now, I think my plan is to head over to this great store in Greensboro, NC called Lost Ark Games that specializes in Japan imports. I know that I've seen NGCD games there before, but I couldn't read the Japanese on the spine and never asked to see them. I've gotten the bulk of my PCE CD collection there. I think checking them out is a good place to start. I'll splurge a little bit on ebay during Christmas time, I already have a list for that. The prospect of long load times doesn't bother me. Seems like a real first-world problem. I've always loved collecting Japanese CD games for the Saturn, Mega CD, 3DO, and PCE. Something about shiny jewel cases and the artwork is great. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattyjjenkins Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Zetastrike, Yeah totally agree, My games collection is 90% Japanese imports, and my Neo collection is all Japanese apart from 3. The presentation, the box art, box style is so much better on the Japanese version. The CD as I said is a fantastic platform and you won't go far wrong. The CD pad is fantastic and the CD stick known commonly as the Bean stick or Mk2stick is equally as great! The front loader is a sexy looking console too, mine dwarfs my CDZ! Like you the load times don't matter one bit to me, but do be prepared for long loads! Because the Saturn, MegaCD, 3DO have nothing on the Neo! lol Pulstar for example is 46 seconds just to boot! Games wise theres so many absolutely fantastic games to be had, my list would defiantly start with: PuzzelBobble a CD exclusive, Samurai Spirits RPG, that too is a CD exclusive and although all the text is Japanese I printed out a walk through off GameFAQs and played it that way and still found it to be a fun, entertaining game! MetalSlugs 1 and 2 speak for themselves, fantastic! Pulstar, ViewPoint, Twinkel Star Sprits, CyberLip and AlphaMission2 all great shooter and must haves, WindJammers a Vs based frisbe game (honestly its brilliant!) and SuperSideKick3 the best arcade football/soccer game money can buy! Also as I said on my other comments its defiantly worth having Razoolas Universe BIOS fitted blows the Neo open and great for all sorts of cool stuff! So its nice your officially in the Neo CD owners club, I will say though you'll come across plenty off people telling you the CDs rubbish but don't listen, its brilliant and you'll love it! Welcome abord! MJ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're welcome zeta. Glad to have you aboard. Sounds like a good plan that you have. I would go to local game stores to see what they to offer first. I did the same with my NGCD. I picked up KOF 99, Top Hunter, Viewpoint, and Magician Lord doing that too. I believe that the idea of splurging during the Christmas time rush will be to your advantage since I use to do very well with discounts from well known Ebay sellers giving discounts for the holidays. Made a killing doing that for a few years when I was looking to extend my Neo-Geo collection. Overall, you're already off to a positive start and with the suggestions from us so far bro. Glad to see a new owner like yourself off playing and collecting for this awesome unit. Anthony.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJ Nice that you shared this collection of your NGCD goodies Matty. I really would like to add Metal Slug and Metal Slug 2 CD into my collection. Can't find one at a good price these days. But what caught my eye the most is your complete Art of Fighting 3 box set that you have. I really kept holding off on purchasing that one for years. Now I'm getting motivated to swoop that one up next. Anthony.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattyjjenkins Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Im a huge fan of the CD as you no Ant. Ive had at least one AES system since the consoles launch. Ive bought other AES's and kept them for a while then sold them, but alway had at least one in my collection. AES games Ive always bought, played, then sold. Its only the last 5-10 years Ive started collecting AES carts and keeping them, where as the CD Ive bought the games new and kept them, very rarely have I sold them. Theres only a few games Ive picked up second-hand or sold on, nearly all of my games were bought brand new from launch, my collection is mint absolutely mint. The Art Of Fighting 3 boxset is defiantly worth picking up now because its starting to steadily rise in price and its not anywhere near as common as it once was, especially in complete, nice, mint condition! A really, really good place for Neo CD games is videogameimports.com, Lee who runs it, is brilliant and his stuff is top notch (condition wise). I recently picked up SideKicks3 from him and the only prob, no spine card (normally no spine, no buy with me!) but the condition was like shop new, even had the original NeoGeo logo watermark top right of the CD jewel-case. Absolutely amazing! Start of my MVS collection! Lol. I got a very good deal on these (MVS Carts Only), bought the shockboxes and inserts from Southtown. Thats mega Darrin9999 love the games! Is it just MVS games you collect? MJ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattyjjenkins Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 SNK vs CAPCOM without doubt my favourite BeatUmUp ever!! I remember the press release video for the collaboration, two giant red movie theatre curtains draw back, the giant 'Capcom' logo fades in then fades out... a big 'Vs' does the same... and then a big SNK logo does the same again... when I first saw it I nearly p!55ed my pants... Just had this huge rush of total excitement, don't think I slept that night. Was so gutted it was going to the NeoPocket first though, I really wanted it to hit the DreamCast first, I was desperate for it, but I shouldn't of worried because even now I Match of the Millennium on the NGPC is in my top 10 favourite games ever!! I LOVE SvC-Caos on the AES, n-g.com had it new for 280 and pre-owned for 190 for well over a year maybe two, I never pulled the trigger, was always like 'tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow' and when I finally went to get it, it was gone! Gutted isn't the word! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
