Very nice idea, but will wait down the line to see how this turns out, esp as I hate cardboard clutter.
Won't be buying from those Amazon affiliate links though. Nintendolife are doing deals with retailers who at best avoid VAT tax and at worst deal with stolen stock from the back of a lorry. No thanks...
Ermmm, I am curious about this, only because it has the Death Match mode. Otherwise yet another uninteresting early Neo Geo game till Samurai Shodown II in 2 weeks.
@The_Lawman You can buy NES and SNES games on Wii and Wii U? If ACA Neo Geo has too many games on eShop now, those NES and SNES games will be too much as well, bu that logic. Not sure why all those ACA Neo Geo games deserves a scorning on this site, when a lot of good stuff got released last year.
Top buy or not to buy? Too critical of vertical shooters nowadays, when I would have snapped any one of the up 10 years ago back in Wii VC days. . Guess I was too spoiled on Wii VC and Cave Shooters?
@antster1983 Yup it sounded very snarky though doesn't make much sense either, when a) there are already loads of eShop game coming out. And b) If/When Nintendo decides to add VC titles, does that mean they will get the same snarky response?
Yet another review from Pee-wee Herman, I see. This is the same guy who rushed out a Pinball review and Blossom Tales: The Sleeping King. Why should I take this review seriously?
I used to think Super Mario Odyssey was a strong entry in the series, until I saw the spammy tagline in the article. That was enough to make me think it is worse than the New Super Mario Bros series now.
Like all beautiful looking women, they may look pretty, but they all horrible personalty. This is how this game can be best described.Looks nice, plays terrible.
Great way to punish loyal Wii U owners from back in the day with more ports on Switch, even if they will have better sales. Next time a Nintendo console is selling as badly as Wii U, they can forget a purchase from me, even if they release really good games for it.
Yeah, Neo Geo is a very solid arcade machine. I already have 13 of them on Switch (have not bought more as own other Neo Geo games across Wii/PS2/360).
Won't be getting this tough. Didn't enjoy it much on SNK Classics collection. There are loads of better Neo Geo games out there.
Lame. I quit playing regardless, after they made legendary pokemon a chore to catch via raids + reduced time limit. Phones are too expensive nowadays, esp if you won't make full use of features.
Not watching the video, although stunned there is no streaming apps, as Switch is perfect for stuff like that. Themes would be nice and Eshop music as well, as long as it doesn't slow the Switch down (guess I am the only one who likes how quick it is to startup and suspend games)
@kopaka NGYES, Can't wait for Nintendo Direct. Looks like they will finally endorse ROM hacks/hardware hacks from NintendoLife as par the "unprecedented partnership".
Should have done a video on hard modding a Gamecube, so that it can play burned Gamecube games, like the other piracy/hacking articles. That would have gotten you more views + endorsed by Nintendo UK as well.
Anybody remember the old ONM UK magazine reporting news like this about hacked hardware, back in the Wii/DS era? There was never any mention on console hacks or exploits, I wonder why given the NoE official licence? Very curious once again, if Nintendo UK is ok with news like this on NintendoLife?
@ONLYUSEmeFEET (nice KotM pic BTW), you know you make a good point, about about legal purchase of PC versions of Neo Geo version (even of only 30 games, for now). Can't say the same when linking fan translations and how-to guides on hacking though in articles though. You get a nice +1.
@OorWullie - No I wont! Now Clean up that blue ink on the ground and stop sitting in the corner sulking. You are only upset, because Pikachu speaks the human language in the latest Pokemon movie.
Somebody forgot to mention this s one of the more graphically varied entries in the KoF series, background wise and more of life, even in comparison to 98 and onwards.
WIll be last game I buy on ACA though. Will be downloading ROM version instead of buying as endorsed by Nintendolife in one of their articles.
Not fussed on the actual opinion/score of a review. My main concern would be if the game was actually properly reviewed from start to finished. Didn't get that sense with the reviewer's review on the last Pinball game, so makes the rest questionable.
If 5 min review counts, may as well make my own website.
So from reading the comments, it sounds like we have another Liam Doolan masterpiece? May as well ask Peewee Herman for a more accurate review of this game.
This weeks releases sure do stink worse than a NintendoLife clickbait article. Thankfully most of good stuff was releases on Xmas. No excuses either if you are playing Xenoblade 2 or ACA Neo Geo those past 3 weeks(thankfully I paid for those games, didn't steal them on illegal Emulator).

Fingers crossed we see mainly fan ROM hacks. Hey if Nintendo UK seem to be ok with NintendoLife posting roms/translations hacks, then I don't see the issue.
Hey, if the rumor is false, and maybe somebody can create a fan hack on Switch after homebrew is publicly released. Then NintendoLIfe can post exclusive news reviews, yet banning discussion from normal users....

Re: Irem's Kid Niki Returns Next Week Thanks to Hamster ACA
Yeah GoNintendo already announced this hours before you guys. Really looking forward to eShop next week as will be full of solid arcade stuff though.
Re: Nintendo Download: 18th January (North America)
That expansion pack DLC for Xenoblade 2 is the best example of DLC abuse. Looks like stuff easily built within game
Re: Hands On: The Future Of Gaming Is Cardboard, Thanks To Nintendo Labo
Very nice idea, but will wait down the line to see how this turns out, esp as I hate cardboard clutter.

Re: Double Dragon Is Coming To The Switch This Week
So the Switch only got roughly 1 game per week if the ACA arcade series makes up half the eShop on Switch?
Re: Review: Romancing SaGa 2 (Switch eShop)
Yet another review from Pee-wee Herman, I see. This is the same guy who rushed out a Pinball review and Blossom Tales: The Sleeping King. Why should I take this review seriously?
Re: Indie Dev Talks About Having Switch Proposals Turned Down By Nintendo Five Times
Another article from NintendoLife posting regurgitated content from a source that has gotten the wrong end of stick. Wow what a surprise.
Re: Soapbox: Is Super Mario Odyssey the Best Mario Game Ever?
I used to think Super Mario Odyssey was a strong entry in the series, until I saw the spammy tagline in the article. That was enough to make me think it is worse than the New Super Mario Bros series now.
Won't be watching the video as per usual....
Re: Rumour: A New Perfect Dark Game Is In Development, But Rare Isn't Involved
Another regurgitated news article for a game that doesn't even relate to Nintendo anymore. thanks!
Re: Indie Dev Talks About Having Switch Proposals Turned Down By Nintendo Five Times
And yet broken games like WWE 2K18 from 2K Games are allowed on sale. Double standards there.
Re: Review: Art Of Fighting 2 (Switch eShop / Neo Geo)
Like all beautiful looking women, they may look pretty, but they all horrible personalty. This is how this game can be best described.Looks nice, plays terrible.
Re: Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 Sells 500,000 Copies Worldwide On Nintendo Switch
@link3710 If it something like Tales of Berseria, or even an enhanced port of Tales Vesperia, I will be a happy bunny.
Re: Feature: Here's What Was Announced During The January 2018 Nintendo Direct Mini
@Sm0k Yup, wouldn't be too fussed if those games were cheap or if there was some sort of Ambassador programe.
Re: Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 Sells 500,000 Copies Worldwide On Nintendo Switch
Great. now how about bringing over the main Tales series over to Switch, NAMCO? A main entry, not some crummy breadcrumbs-esque bootleg side entry .
Re: Feature: Here's What Was Announced During The January 2018 Nintendo Direct Mini
Great way to punish loyal Wii U owners from back in the day with more ports on Switch, even if they will have better sales. Next time a Nintendo console is selling as badly as Wii U, they can forget a purchase from me, even if they release really good games for it.
Re: Atooi Is Gauging Interest For A Chicken Wiggle Kickstarter
@Timsworld Yeah, though he also wasn't happy with Dementium Remastered, Xeodrifter and Moon Chronicles on 3DS.
Re: SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy Brings Two-On-Two Fighting Action To Switch
Will hold judgement until there are more details. Hope we are not getting breadcrumbs instead of a proper fighting game though.
Re: Review: King Of The Monsters (Switch eShop / Neo Geo)
Yeah, Neo Geo is a very solid arcade machine. I already have 13 of them on Switch (have not bought more as own other Neo Geo games across Wii/PS2/360).
Won't be getting this tough. Didn't enjoy it much on SNK Classics collection. There are loads of better Neo Geo games out there.
Re: Pokémon GO Is Dropping Support For Older iPhones
Lame. I quit playing regardless, after they made legendary pokemon a chore to catch via raids + reduced time limit. Phones are too expensive nowadays, esp if you won't make full use of features.
Re: Video: With All These Rumours, What Could Actually Be in Switch Firmware Version 5.0?
Not watching the video, although stunned there is no streaming apps, as Switch is perfect for stuff like that. Themes would be nice and Eshop music as well, as long as it doesn't slow the Switch down (guess I am the only one who likes how quick it is to startup and suspend games)
Re: Atooi Is Gauging Interest For A Chicken Wiggle Kickstarter
Do 3DS eShop games not sell so well or something? He's been claiming his other games he released in past on 3DS as well have sold poorly.
Re: Review: The Last Blade (Switch eShop / Neo Geo)
@Anti-Matter If you are not that keen on blood in this game, you can turn it off via "Brutality Display" in the game settings.
Re: GameStop Tweets About Nintendo Direct, Then Quickly Deletes The Tweet
Looks like I was wrong. My bad. Pardon my scepticism in my previous comments. Thanks @WonderfulTorment.
Re: GameStop Tweets About Nintendo Direct, Then Quickly Deletes The Tweet
Also, my pet cat says Nintendo Switch XL is coming out July 2018. Better get that trustworthy news out fast NL.....
Re: GameStop Tweets About Nintendo Direct, Then Quickly Deletes The Tweet
EDIT: Looks like I was wrong. My bad. Pardon my scepticism.
Just another poor NintendoLife clickbait article created on a slow news day, it looks like another twitter troll used photoshop, so yeah fake news . https://twitter.com/Nibellion/status/951130019199320066
Re: Power Spikes II Is Serving Up Futuristic Volleyball On Switch Next Week
@OorWullie Haha yeah AoF 2 is actually another ACA release I will be happy to skip on Switch myself.
Those dates aren't actually 100% confirmed, although Hamster always announce their ACA batch announcements with an precise release order without fail.
(waits patiently for FF3/RB:FFS)
Re: Power Spikes II Is Serving Up Futuristic Volleyball On Switch Next Week
@OorWullie Nope, IIRC your favourite game Art of Fighting 2 is due for release this week and confirmed.
Wake me up when Samurai Spirits 2 is released in 2 weeks. I'd rather play the original Fatal Fury for 24 hours than play Power Spikes II.
Re: Nintendo of Russia Appears to Confirm Incoming Nintendo Direct
No I AM the Nintendo Direct. My name is Atma. I'm a pure energy, and as ancient as the cosmos. Feeble creatures, GO!
Re: Random: This Fan-Made Tourism Guide for Majora's Mask Will Make You Yearn For A Zelda-Themed Holiday
@kopaka NGYES, Can't wait for Nintendo Direct. Looks like they will finally endorse ROM hacks/hardware hacks from NintendoLife as par the "unprecedented partnership".
Re: Bayonetta 2 On Switch Will Come With These Changes
Surprised this isn't another console hack or "Girl marries Tetris" article. Professional Nintendo news outlet or Nintendo gossip site?. Can't be both.
Re: Random: This Woman Loves Tetris So Much She's Going To Marry Her Copy
....This isn't news
Re: Video: The 21 Best GameCube Games Money Can Buy
Should have done a video on hard modding a Gamecube, so that it can play burned Gamecube games, like the other piracy/hacking articles. That would have gotten you more views + endorsed by Nintendo UK as well.

Re: Review: Pulstar (Switch eShop / Neo Geo)

Re: Review: Pulstar (Switch eShop / Neo Geo)

Re: Splatoon 2 Pits Action Against Comedy In Global Splatfest Next Week
