This game is worth getting just for the quality of the music and backgrounds. Plus trying to meet the requirements to fight Kyo gives some single player incentive.

I've been waiting for KOF 2000 ever since I got my Switch on launch-day!

I've got my eyes set squarely on KOF 2000 right now,
just a few days to go!

Nothin' for me here.
Luckily, my most anticipated ACA release, KOF 2000 is due out next week!

Still waiting for KOF '95, Samsho II and Samsho V SP.
It's nice to see that sports fans get some love too, though.

It's been a long time since I've been able to mark off three games to buy! Today is a good day, indeed!

Fatal Fury Special is a keeper even if you bought FF2.

Samsho II can't be too far away then, hopefully.

SNK dropped the Playmore part of their name to signify them leaving the Pachinko business behind to focus on the gaming market like in the old days. So far, we only have KOF XIV and the Eshop rereleases to show for it so I'm interested in seeing where they're heading next.

I'm getting more and more anxious for KOF '95 and 2000's Eshop release as I'm worrying that Hamster'll stop weekly releases eventually.

Awesome, this one's a keeper!

@koekiemonster You say that as though getting Neo Geo games is a bad thing. Getting a lesser version of another Neo Geo game is the bad part. I'm still crossing my fingers that we'll get FF Special, KOF '95, KOF 2000 and Samsho II before Hamster gives up on the Switch.

A shame that Fatal Fury Special is just an enhanced version of FF 2,
So I'll just wait for that one.

They've hardly ran out of quality Neo Geo titles.
KOF '95 to '97 and 2000 to 2003,
Samurai Shodown 1 to 3 and V to V Special,
Fatal Fury 2 to Real Bout 2,
Last Blade 1 to 2,
Art of Fighting 1 to 3,
I can go on forever.

Shinkiro's artwork is fantastic, so I'll definitely get this one!
It sure beats the KOF '96 artbook that came with that strange bonus disc I have for my Neo Geo CDZ.

Heck yeah, I would!

@UK-Nintendo Still waitin' for The King of Fighters '95/2000, Fatal Fury Special and Samurai Shodown II/V Special before I'm satisfied.
Until then, keep 'em comin'!

I'd rather take KOF 2000 personally, but '99 is fine too.

Still waiting for Samsho II and V SP
as well as KOF 2000 and Last Blade 2...

Garou MOTW is FINALLY here!
I'm sick of only legally owning the crappy DotEmu Steam release.
The tablet stand mode + pro controller setup works surprisingly well for fighting games. The joy-con D-pad is awful, unfortunately.
So no proper handheld Neo Geo goodness for me.

Interesting. So I guess the player did have the ability to drop the Master Sword to free up inventory space at one point, which would warp it back to the pedestal. Maybe that was how you'd restore it whenever it ran out of energy in an earlier build but it was thought of as being too discouraging and impractical if the player would have to abandon what they were doing to teleport back to Korok Forest to get the sword again, making them decide to go with the streamlined system we have today instead.

@gojiguy you can configure the buttons on Samsho IV at least. I never found a reason to check with any other releases since their buttons were just where I wanted them to be. As for training mode, yeah, I don't get why they don't have the AES versions included either.

YES! Now, do I dare dream for Samurai Shodown II or even better yet, V Special?

I'm lovin' it so far!
Give me Samurai Shodown II, Garou: Mark of The Wolves and Metal Slug X and I'll be golden.

The Korok mask is a godsend!
The trial of the sword sounds like it'll be something to finally spend all those excessive hearts on, too.
I'm stoked!

Finally, a chance to own a physical copy of Cave Story +!

Mario Kart 8 and Kamiko for me!

So I can leave my PC at home and use this device, right?
That's the big question that sells my attention.

Nice. I was worried they'd make his official name something that wasn't ingrained in my head from childhood.

@CapricornDavid Was hoping for Fatal Fury Special. I love that game on my Neo Geo CDZ!

@DragonEleven With that certain barrier, you can get in again by doing the same dismount trick again from the other side after calling your horse when you're a decent distance away from the barrier (perhaps the horse teleports slightly closer to you when you call it from a great distance, putting it outside the barrier? Just speculating...).

Korok Forest doesn't requite twitch reflexes to play,
this game does.

Still no Samurai Shodown IV, huh?

@JudgeMethos I'm sick a lot and playing a game helps dull the pain and spend time at the hospital.
I'm sorry if you feel that is a waste of my life.

AWESOME! This is my favorite Samsho title!

@Anti-Matter As someone who spends a lot of time in the hospital, having a portable time-sink when I'm feeling healthy enough to do something makes for a nice distraction from my illness.
I'm sorry if that makes me seem unproductive.

Still waiting for Samurai Shodown II and IV...
Getting a port of V Special after all these years would be a dream come true but I can't dare to hope!

I actually had to look up a guide to figure out the constellation shrine's puzzle. And I still have no idea how the player is meant to figure it out on their own!

In previous Zelda titles, the devs had grievances with making sure Link didn't look TOO cool and suave, now they're aiming for the opposite? Personally, I'll always prefer the lazy, kind of doofy peaceful young man who has to take up arms for the greater good than the dedicated prodigy knight of BotW.

I can't really see this console being a long-term winner past release as more and more issues from users are unearthed if it continues at this pace and Nintendo doesn't go out of its way to do some fast damage-control to keep the trust of potential buyers.

I love this game! It's been a long, long time since I've experienced a game where I just can't put it down and end up doing nothing but playing it for entire days. DB Fusions is that kind of game!

The ALBW team certainly showed they had the guts to go back and reinvent a formula while also being tactful enough to keep everything that made the franchise special intact (including aspects that were seemingly lost to the ever-moving times) with that game.

Can't wait for DB Fusions!

In my opinion, Mega Man Zero 3 is by far the best original platformer on the GBA.

@MitchVogel I did appreciate the encyclopedic sections covering each game's enemies including the damage they deal and take, their weakness and the optimal way of dealing with them.
Beyond that, I also think that not including 7-10 and Mega Man & Bass was just plain lazy.

I love the encyclopedic section and how it tells you how much damage each enemy deals and takes and what weapon they're weak to. It came really handy in teaching me more effective ways to get through each level.

Give that Link costume pink hair and I'll think about it.

I'd like seeing her incorporated into the games like what Pokemon has been doing. You choose between the two characters and the one you didn't pick shows up now and again.

Not necessarily feeling that he should've won, but those reasons stated for why he didn't are rather bizarre and weak.

@IceClimbers I'd add The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction to that list. The things that game allows you to do are amazing, incredible even!
