Topic: Do Neo Geo games work well with the GC Controller?

Posts 1 to 8 of 8

I have yet to buy a Neo Geo game on the vc, but I have been looking at some games like Samurai Shodown 2 or Fatal Fury. The only question I have is will these games work well with a gamecube controller? The only reason I'm asking this is I have bought vc games in the past that worked ok with the GC controller but the button placement still felt a little bit awkward.

Any help is appreciated

I have a few Neo Geo games mainly Fatal Fury and Art of Fighting. I use the original classic controller and it works fine. Not sure how the GC controller works though. I have only use the GC controller on GC games and Mario Kart Wii

Yeah, my problem is that I dont have a classic controller but two gamecube ones. I'd like to play it in multiplayer and dont wanna spend $40 on two classic controllers

Although the gamecube controller works adequately with shooters such as Metal Slug and Ironclad, I really would not recommend it if you want to play fighting games. The d-pad is too small and the button placement is awkward to say the least. I can't imagine playing Samurai showdown with a GC controller.

Like Chozo said, they will work but they're far from ideal for a fighter. Other genres should be fine.

I agree. I can't even beat the first opponent on the easiest difficulty of Fatal Fury Special partly due to the awkward button mapping, while I have no problems with Metal Slug..
