I know Im preaching the gospel to the choir but I just had to say it. I recently played a little of kof2k2 with characters I typically dont use like ramon who is awesome. This game rocks but the real topic of this thread is my friends dont get it. They think it sucks and they refer to as snes graphics. I guess the neo geo commmunity it terms of fans is really strong but small compared to ps2 and xbox. Everyone plays consoles like ps2 and xbox and think grapahics make a good game. I think samurai shodown is the best fighting games with swords despite sc 2 being out. Oh well they just dont get it I guess or is it becasue I grew up playing neo geo in the arcades and it holds something special to me. I challenge you guys to talk about neogeo games on regular game forums and see how much booing you get. Oh well I will be a fan of snk till Im eighty and have arthritis from kickin as with ukyo.

This game rocks but the real topic of this thread is my friends dont get it. They think it sucks and they refer to as snes graphics I know that feeling all to well, i have few friends that will sit down and play a neo-geo game with me, mainly alot of these younger gamer scrubs have grown up on playstation and just won't accept anything thats 2d and isn't a button masher like MvC. Its a shame cause im saving up for an mvs but i dought ill have but a 1 or 2 peeps that will ocassionaly play me on it, but i feel that its not me who's missing out so whatever. I'm that guy who shocks people at my total not giving a fuck about games like doa 3 with there snazzy graphics but puddle deep gameplay. You won't be alone Ukyo, ill play snk games till the day i die no matter how far we advance in technology  |

I agree - even though I own a PS2/Xbox/GC, I still play Neo Geo stuff as much as anything. Yeah you will get a lot of crap from regular mainstream gamers, but the Neo Geo will still get a lot of respect from hardcore gamers that actually know what they are talking about. Having said that, not all "casual" gamers are like that - I do have a few friends that have seen me playing stuff like Metal Slug and have ended up playing the game to death. I've even got some of them interested in Last Blade and Mark of the Wolves, although I know that they would definitely not feel the same about game like Art of Fighting or World Heroes... which I guess is understandable as only people like us that used to play them "back in the day" can truly appreciate them for what they are. The stupid thing is that all of them are much more likely to accept games with this type of graphics if they are on a handheld like the GBA... somehow they suddenly think gameplay is "fantastic", just because it is on a handheld. As Goemon said though, it is "their loss". So long as you get the most fun out of these games that you can, it really doesn't matter what a bunch of snobbish mainstream gamers might think  . Kaz |

It's a damn shame really. It's the same thing where I live since there are few people that like SNK games and most everyone else thinks they suck because they compare them to today's games.

Yeah for sure... the problem is that most kids these days have been brought up into a world where they only know the words "Playstation" and "3D", so they just think that all 2D stuff is dated crap and won't even give it the time of day. Thankfully people like us that grew up playing this stuff have respect for it - I actually consider myself lucky because I love more modern games that come out, but at the same time have great respect for the classics, and still love to see new 2D games coming out. If you feel that way, you have the best of both worlds ;D

I actually couldn't stand the KOFs for gameboy.
And has anyone ever played KOF96 or KOF99 for NES? I think the computer can even tag in his other teammates.

I sold my Xbox and im plannin to get a AEs or another 4slot MVS... Yes, i know it was a waste to throw away "the most powerful" console yet for the "longest running arcade machine".. but i like it, I'd like to stick to the "Good Stuff",
today's games are all about having wonderful 3D GFX, and not having any gameplay value...
in other words: This NEXT-GEN gaming thing is a pile of cowpie

These kind of People will nevur know what real Gameing- Experience is. Everyone should know that really good Games consist of more than just awesome Graphics. I´ve started loving Snk in the Age of FF2, and I loved it, although I couldn´t understand anything of the Story, coz it was in Japanese. People are just not open enough to try and like Things that just don´t look like SC2 or sth.! They are simply Ignorants, and that´s the Fact why I hate those ppl, I would love to crush their Heads with my "No-Style" DM!!! Heheh, that shows my deep Love to Snk! And as the Thread Title says, Snk´s teh best, and as long as there are ppl like us, Snk will never die. |

i dont hate the new games that are comin' out. but i hate that people, mainly ignorant "iluvmyxbox" kids, trash dated games like kof98 or tales of phantasia, or samurai showdown... i know this kid, he saw me playin samsho5 rhomz, he blatantly argued about Haomaru being a Mitsurugi ripoff... i mean hello  samsho was older than scalibur, even soul edge... bah, but who cares but them anyway... just as long as SNK continues to produce good games  |

The fact I dominate my friends in SNK games probably doesn't help my encouragement to play them. ;D
