Your rant about the control pads is absolute bullshit! They are very well fit for playing fighting games. With the exception of the shoulder buttons they have the same button layout as the good old snes pads. And we all had no trouble in controlling Ryu and co. with them. It's true that in a lot of snk fighters you had to press multiple buttons at a time, but that only became a problem with B+C. In addition the d-pad was great for a controller. However I agree the sticks are still king on neo
4. At the time the Neo Geo CD debuted, the Sony PlayStation and the Sega Saturn were literally around the corner. Not only were these systems far more advanced, the PlayStation was priced about the same as the Neo Geo CD.
1. SNK wasn't a major 1st party for home video games, so they couldn't compete with Sega, Nintendo, Sony and even 3DO in marketing.
2. The Neo Geo platform, both CD and AES, didn't have enough 3rd party support for an exclusive home console format to generate enough money through software licensing to make it profitable in the long term; Neo Geo was only really successful in the MVS arcade format.
3. The CD drive was too slow, hampering the Neo Geo experience.
the closest you could come to owning an Arcade machine back then
things was expensive and guess what they still are and they are not any better
if i had all snk games the ps3 and Xbox would stay in the corner collecting dust thats for sure Snk is Arcade even if people compare to Capcoms streetfighter 2 all the time Snk still made Metal Slug and for that alone i love them ^_^
That's his hair on his face as much as we all wish that it's a huge wart or something like that. Anybody who watches this can just be happy that they probably have more of a social life then this guy. That's probably why he's mad. By the way nice Pokemon wallpaper. Oh an clean your room little boy!
Please, never reproduce. Oh, and never talk to children. And stop smacking your mouth every time you pause. You are creepy; so muc so that I made this comment. I never comment unless I am deeply compelled too.
omg, your way of talking sucks.. anyway, neogeo failed because of bad promo and it was to expensive. did you really wanted to upload a video where you are standing in front of such wallpaper?! i´m sorry to say that, but you ´re some kind of strange...
The Neo Geo CD is a failure but the Neo Geo CDZ is a great console to play Metal Slug and Pulstar very cheap and fast. The CD have better sound than the AES and it's cheaper than the AES. A real Neo Geo fan have a AES and a CDZ with 5 great games Blazing Star, Garou Mark of the Wolves, Metal Slug, Metal Slug 3 (best game on the AES) and Pulstar.
cut him a fucking brake,jesus christ you fuckers are savage.What ever happened to chuckling lightly to yourselves,this is why star wars kid is so depressed,you fucking animals.He improves over time...FUCK!
I owned/own the CD Rom (cant get a pic on the TV anymore). I laybuyed it in 1995 and bought if for the 2d fighting games but what I never understood was why did'nt they release other games which were also popular at the time when you compare it to say a SNES which had fatal fury, street fighter mortal kombat etc. Neo Geo only released their own games.
i think it was neo geo wasnt meant to really compete with the war between nintendo and sega at the time, it was more for people who wanted SNK's arcade hits to play at home, kinda like a specialty item.
What your not seeing are his dead parents he just brutally murdered in the next room, shortly before making this vid! The disse'd the Neo Geo CD and paid the price! lol
Hmm, I don´t think that the NeoGeo Controller was that bad. I mean, look at ths SNES Controller; the buttons were also quite similar arranged like on the NeoGeo Controller and the buttons were also smaller on the SNES-version. The Controllerstick seems to get used to it someday; sure, SNES and Playstation have better controllers, but this NeoGeo Controller seems to be much better like the horrible Gamecube-Controller.
This is a terrible terrible video. You say you are discussing why Neo Geo CD failed well I would like to talk about how you failed. Fist off that thing on your eyebrow is so disturbing that I had a hard time focusing on the nonsensical ranting that was going on the whole time. Most importantly you never mentioned reasons why things were bad you just said that things like the controller was terrible but why was it terrible? Just because you said so?
@FED250 Hell fuck the thing on his face. We should all make him his own pay pal account. And buy the kid a razor! I mean hell I got hair on my balls, that looks better than that!
the neo geo cd .. system is not that bad ... just a little patience ...and you could enjoy a great game system .. i still have mine since back in the day...i still rock it every one in a while .. the d-pad is not that bad ..there pretty goood for some games ..i have neogeo aes,mvs,cd,pocket...neogeo forever...
NEO GEO AES, MVS and NEO GEO cd are the same graphics. The price of the NEO GEO was high because it had far more powerfull processors than any other games console. It was the SNK arcade motherboard in a console. Theirs a good reason why nintendo and sega didnt put that amount of processing power in their consoles at the time. The Neo Geo console was aimed at posh hotels in japan but they expanded when
inflation? that's not how it works bro, the integrated circuits in that system are definitely less expensive to produce now than they were in the 90's. You need to take some economics courses. the neo geo cd and the aes net about 300 - 700 usd on ebay depending on condition and boxing etc and that is solely for nostalgia purposes. And my neo geo cd works to this day thank you.
I'm a stick player (maily Sanwa/Seimitsu user) and even so I love the NG-CD pad, there's absolutely nothing wrong with the layout at all the the D-pad is actually a mini stick with micro-switches to boot. The Neo-Geo CD failed because it came a little too late (the PSX and Saturn were already being hyped by every single mag back then)
Don't take this the wrong way... But what is wrong with you? The way you speak.. It's not an accent it's more like... Well you know this people around age 30 that still live their parents? Kinda like that. But you look younger so I'm kind of confused.
I liked where you were going till you started trashing the controller.
You have no idea what you're talking about here. The neo geo cd pad is widely loved as one of the best controllers ever for fighting games. And you don't like the layout!? not only can you change the layout, but trashing snk games for not having Street Fighter style layouts is pretty weak. C'mon guy! get serious!
It's a good sign now that the entire Neo Geo game library is starting to re-emerge for the Wii VC so we could experience those expensive rare classics that we never did get our hands on like Nam 1975, Sengoku 1-3, Shock Troopers, Kizuna Encounter, Breaker's Revenge, Mark of the Wolves, and Samurai Shodown II.
Samurai Shodown 2 expensive? you can have the "extremely rare impossible to find AES cartridge because it´s fuckin Neo Geo" for like 15 bucks in perfect condition. What many gamers forget is the fact that 3/4 of all games on neo geo are not very expensive and only a few are rare and you have to pay big money for it. Before i pay 10 bucks for a VC download i rahter spend another 5 bucks and get the AES version.
Today it's cheap and easy to find but back then it wasn't like that. A regular price Neo Geo AES cartridge is either sixty bucks or more and the most popular one are in the one hundred dollar price tag. Plus since ebay and the internet didn't make it until late in the 90s, finding a bring new cheap factory seal NG cartridge like SSII at that time was impossible. The reason it's cheap today is that those games are now classics and SNK no longer support the NG AES console.
i wrote my comment from todays perspective because even today a lot of gamers still think that the neo is unaffordable which is not true. For example many games magazines make features about the neo geo claiming that the AES system is still commanding top dollar. If you have the opportunity to get your games directly from japan you start to laugh how cheap many games are. Games like SS 2 and FF2 are cheap as dirt. what is really funny is that some gamers spend more bucks on shitty snes ports...
I know most people today still think the NG AES games are expensive but those are the many who never play a NG before. Classics games of today should be cheap and affordable. It's rip-off to see even a game like SSII or FFS in the sixty dollar range. Also not all games on the SNES are shitty ports, though games like Shaq Fu, Mortal Kombat, and Primal Rage sucks on SNES, others like MKII, Super Street Fighter II, Samurai Shodown, Fatal Fury Special, and World Heroes II are great additions.
with shitty ports on snes i mean the neo geo games that were released on Nintendo´s 8/16 Bit system (looking at the snes cpu it is not 100% 16-bit). Maybe FF special and Samurai Shodown are good games on the snes, but i don´t have to explain which version is better: Neo Geo or Snes. And sad but true, FF special on snes for example is more expensive nowadays than the much better original Neo Geo homecart. But with MK2 you are right...great port for the snes. Not arcade perfect, but very good.
Ok ok, I lied. This video is horrible. Im assuming that your using some info that you just decided that it was true because you think your smart.(for example, the fact that they had to cut corners on the graphics because it was a CD, but in truth a CD can hold a ton more information, just one example)
Oh and seriously, your nasally voice is just horrible.
the guy in the video made a small mistake about grafics being cut on the neo geo cd. Of course a cd in total can store a lot more data than any cartridge, problem is that the CD had 56 megabit internal ram while the cartridge based system basically used the rom chips in the game as ram. With higher megcounts the AES soon could work with more than 56 megabit of data, more than the CD could load into its ram, so they DID HAVE TO CUT grafics. See AoF 3, on CD all characters are a lot smaller.
Im wondering why you have bruises on your face, or maybe its some wierd "gamer face paint"... Either way...your looking mighty dirty. You sound like a Moron. Who the F*ck cares about 15 year old systems. Wonder why they failed. New shit comes out every day. F*ck all this old crap. Get over your collection. Buy an Xbox 360...Buy a PS3...or wait for something else.
imGlobL, what's your point? Australian dollars aren't US dollars. Just because it has the word 'dollar' in it, does not mean it's in any way a related currency. :/
dude you have to be kidding me SNK made the Neo Geo CD to "expand to the casual gamer". The Neo Geo was a system for people what desired perfect Arcade ports and were willing to deal with a high price point to get them. Stop reading off wikipedia and throwing in buzz words that are used to describe the current game market.
The media is never the problem, it's the way the machine handles the data. For the Neo CD it had to cut frame rate and probably some sprites, this is due to the limited amount of ram and cache on the system.
I got svc chaos for my ps2 and didnt like it as much as capcom vs snk 2. They still have the aes system at the store in original box. Who knows where games (both fighters and others) would be without snk
I really wanted a Neo Geo, but growing up now, its not worth it. the SNK MVS arcade system was a BRILLIANT idea for arcade cabinets... but not really a smart idea for home users. Of course, if one wanted to play pixel perfect arcade ports back in those days, they had no choice other than the Neo Geo, its only ridiculous when evaluated with today's terms for perfect ports on 360 and PS3 as well as great emulators like Mame and Rage.
That's great that you were able to make some good money, whilst still able to play all the metalslug games at an even BETTER quality. I think a lot of people like having the NeoGeo for it's collection/material values. They enjoy owning an antique. Me? I use an emulator. Although I did buy a NeoGeo Pocket Color ^_^.
Yeah it was expensive and therefore existed in no retail stores just about anywhere stateside. I bought mine is a store named Best. Not best buy, just best. But that was a lucky shot for me because they said they got in 10 of them, (the cart based neo geo) and wouldnt be getting anymore in.
I owned the original cartridge based I was paying 200.00 per game. I paid 600.00 for my system I had 12 games and whew I loved every bit of it... The last game I wanted was View Point for 179.00...
good video, jedite... I agree with that.. but I wanted one (it was still too fucking expensive even though the idea of the cd based system was to lower the cost) ... the games were also still £50 a time.. the system was about £399.99
Neo geo for a long time pissed on every thing, the sega saturn was shit thats why it failed, games were crap same with the amiga 32cd, atari jaguar, etc they let sony in and they put money into the actual games not the hardware!
Do you think before you open your mouth? Most of what you said made no sense at all. And what is this your talking about where the games needed to be scaled down to fit on a CD? Do you realize when the NeoCD was released 673 Megs. Now that roughly amounts to 84 Megabits. A standard CD back in the 90's would have been around 450MB. So you take that game at 84MB and put all the music on it 450MB is more than enough for 1 Neo-Geo game.
I'm glad the system suck. I knew only one person with the system and he was a douch bag. He said that all of us can only watch him play his system. I believe it was his birthday. 10 minutes of it, we all left him alone. He got sad and complained to his parents and we got in trouble.
only problwem i have is that he makes it sound that the CD's heald less space than a cartridge.
A cd is 700 megs.I doubt a cart from that time is anything over 13 megs... in fact Neo GEo arcade roms are about 4-12 megs a piece so... yeah he is wrong.
Also, DREAMCAST is what killed Saturn. Sega unveiled DC at E3 waiy too early hiwch caused for all 3rdparties to drop Saturn support.
for instance, Pulstar for the neo geo cart system was 380 meg! This is why some games on start up would say... GIGA POWER. The tiniest game on the NEO GEO was PUZZLED, it came in at just over 12 meg.... SNK wasnt big on data compression. But on the CD version they were. The neo geo cds were quite simply SHIT. Made from the cheapest of materials, they never lasted long. I know i had one.
The neo geo cd had 54 meg of available memory. It was able to load up ALPHA MISSION II once and never had to load again. The reson why they were smaller is because the actual games were huge, but the mame versions are tiny because they are emulated. The games on the cds are different again. Take KOF95 alot of changes (although small) were made so it would fit on the cd along with the music.
Wait so, despite CD's holding far more data than cartridges, they compressed the hell out of the games to compensate for a poor CD Drive read speed?
Ouch... seems as if they got bitten in the ass by shitty programming, when you consider than PSX has only 2 megs of system RAM, and could easily handle SNK quality sprites, on a 2x speed CD Drive.
Well to add insult to injury, the CDZ which was reputed to have a 2x cd rom drive... didnt actually HAVE 2x cd rom drive... some sort of data retreivel method they were able to use. Im like... a double spin cd rom would have been like.. cheaper??? GOD SNK.. what were yas thinking.. Here u have the benchmark of arcade and home entertainment (at the time) and ..well.. yas fucked it...Id expect that from SEGA but not you guys...
As for the psx versions of the games, in my opinion... the sucked. The neo geo versions are always gonna be better. I could finish the psx version of KOF95 on the highest difficulty. But my neo geoCD version i was flat out completing on medium. Also if u notice the game that this guy holds up. i noticed that its SNK VS CAPCOM. 708 meg (if you pause it at 01:37). Plus u also have to realise that alot of the neo geo games that were converted to cd had their music changed have you noticed??
I never noticed any differences between cartridge and CD versions of the games as I never owned either consoles. I just think its CRAZY they changed the versions for CD, when CD's could have easiyl heald all the data a cartridge holds.
Sure read speed would have been a problem but they could have worked around that. Oh, and as far as I know, "Giga-Power" refered to clock-speed of the CPU.
Dude, the clock speed never changed for the neo geo or the neo geo cd, 14mhz. 17% slower in countries that used PAL tv. Giga Power meens the size of the game.
That makes far more sense than a gighert clock speed for a console that old... I should check my sources more.
Morons should have just used a real twin speed CD Drive, as well as added CPU cache and they'd have done fine. Either that or waited for a Quad CD drive to be an topion to load those 54 megs into the RAM
well dude i had 12 neo geo games and pretty much all the mags that used to review them. And you saw with you own eyes how big the games were. Emulated games will never be that big.
Yeah, its weird though. I thought when I was downloading roms to play on my PC's emulator i was downloading uncompressed RAW dumps from the cartridges.
Then again its been so long i could simply be dead wrong.
well thats what i liked about the neo geo games/hardware. Back then it was considered the roles royce of video game consoles. In my opinion there will NEVER be a console like it ever totally devoted to quality gaming. even now, 5 years on, there must have been something happening to make sony and sega and Nintendo put these awesome games on their systems. SNK aint dead.... just misunderstood.
And as for the SEGA stuff??? SEGA couldnt market a system to save them selves. Look at all the stuff they brought out.... remember the 32 X??? What a joke. Such potential... the SATURN was an awesome machine... but because of dual processors not many 3rd party program companies would touch it. THE DREAM CAST?? similar probs. Why u spose sega only make games now??
I never thought i would see a sega game on a nintendo system put it that way....
... I 'm speechless...

It's a good sign now that the entire Neo Geo game library is starting to re-emerge for the Wii VC so we could experience those expensive rare classics that we never did get our hands on like Nam 1975, Sengoku 1-3, Shock Troopers, Kizuna Encounter, Breaker's Revenge, Mark of the Wolves, and Samurai Shodown II.
blueswan1984 3 years ago
Samurai Shodown 2 expensive? you can have the "extremely rare impossible to find AES cartridge because it´s fuckin Neo Geo" for like 15 bucks in perfect condition. What many gamers forget is the fact that 3/4 of all games on neo geo are not very expensive and only a few are rare and you have to pay big money for it. Before i pay 10 bucks for a VC download i rahter spend another 5 bucks and get the AES version.
godoftakedown 3 years ago
Today it's cheap and easy to find but back then it wasn't like that. A regular price Neo Geo AES cartridge is either sixty bucks or more and the most popular one are in the one hundred dollar price tag. Plus since ebay and the internet didn't make it until late in the 90s, finding a bring new cheap factory seal NG cartridge like SSII at that time was impossible. The reason it's cheap today is that those games are now classics and SNK no longer support the NG AES console.
blueswan1984 3 years ago
i wrote my comment from todays perspective because even today a lot of gamers still think that the neo is unaffordable which is not true. For example many games magazines make features about the neo geo claiming that the AES system is still commanding top dollar. If you have the opportunity to get your games directly from japan you start to laugh how cheap many games are. Games like SS 2 and FF2 are cheap as dirt. what is really funny is that some gamers spend more bucks on shitty snes ports...
godoftakedown 3 years ago
I know most people today still think the NG AES games are expensive but those are the many who never play a NG before. Classics games of today should be cheap and affordable. It's rip-off to see even a game like SSII or FFS in the sixty dollar range. Also not all games on the SNES are shitty ports, though games like Shaq Fu, Mortal Kombat, and Primal Rage sucks on SNES, others like MKII, Super Street Fighter II, Samurai Shodown, Fatal Fury Special, and World Heroes II are great additions.
blueswan1984 3 years ago
with shitty ports on snes i mean the neo geo games that were released on Nintendo´s 8/16 Bit system (looking at the snes cpu it is not 100% 16-bit). Maybe FF special and Samurai Shodown are good games on the snes, but i don´t have to explain which version is better: Neo Geo or Snes. And sad but true, FF special on snes for example is more expensive nowadays than the much better original Neo Geo homecart. But with MK2 you are right...great port for the snes. Not arcade perfect, but very good.
godoftakedown 3 years ago
Yea, but you can't look at the Neo Geo from today's perspective as it is no longer a current console system being produced for a mass market.

Ok ok, I lied. This video is horrible. Im assuming that your using some info that you just decided that it was true because you think your smart.(for example, the fact that they had to cut corners on the graphics because it was a CD, but in truth a CD can hold a ton more information, just one example)
Oh and seriously, your nasally voice is just horrible.
Rumones 3 years ago
the guy in the video made a small mistake about grafics being cut on the neo geo cd. Of course a cd in total can store a lot more data than any cartridge, problem is that the CD had 56 megabit internal ram while the cartridge based system basically used the rom chips in the game as ram. With higher megcounts the AES soon could work with more than 56 megabit of data, more than the CD could load into its ram, so they DID HAVE TO CUT grafics. See AoF 3, on CD all characters are a lot smaller.

dude you have to be kidding me SNK made the Neo Geo CD to "expand to the casual gamer". The Neo Geo was a system for people what desired perfect Arcade ports and were willing to deal with a high price point to get them. Stop reading off wikipedia and throwing in buzz words that are used to describe the current game market.

The media is never the problem, it's the way the machine handles the data. For the Neo CD it had to cut frame rate and probably some sprites, this is due to the limited amount of ram and cache on the system.

I really wanted a Neo Geo, but growing up now, its not worth it. the SNK MVS arcade system was a BRILLIANT idea for arcade cabinets... but not really a smart idea for home users. Of course, if one wanted to play pixel perfect arcade ports back in those days, they had no choice other than the Neo Geo, its only ridiculous when evaluated with today's terms for perfect ports on 360 and PS3 as well as great emulators like Mame and Rage.

Saturn was good for certain games, but the average gamer in '95 was getting stiffies for 3D games. These days 2D is making a comeback! Retro chic.
With the PS3 being this gen's 'expensive system' it's a testament to the Playstation brand that it hasn't become a 3DO or Neo Geo.

Do you think before you open your mouth? Most of what you said made no sense at all. And what is this your talking about where the games needed to be scaled down to fit on a CD? Do you realize when the NeoCD was released 673 Megs. Now that roughly amounts to 84 Megabits. A standard CD back in the 90's would have been around 450MB. So you take that game at 84MB and put all the music on it 450MB is more than enough for 1 Neo-Geo game.

A cd is 700 megs.I doubt a cart from that time is anything over 13 megs... in fact Neo GEo arcade roms are about 4-12 megs a piece so... yeah he is wrong.
Also, DREAMCAST is what killed Saturn. Sega unveiled DC at E3 waiy too early hiwch caused for all 3rdparties to drop Saturn support.
Saturn had ok marketing.

The cartridge was able to hold 716Megabits without loading. A CD back then was only as good as it's KB/Sec.

1. Megabits,,, are far smaller than megabytres.
2. You can't load more off a CD than RAM you have
Copnclsuion:
Since both systems ghad the same amount of RAM, nothing was different.
CD's heald more than carts. Not the other way around.
Carts did not hold 716 Megabytes.
NeoGeo Roms on average are about 4-12 megs a peice. Download a few if u dont believe me.
ff8123 3 years ago
sorry dude, but game carts held over 330 megs!
for instance, Pulstar for the neo geo cart system was 380 meg! This is why some games on start up would say... GIGA POWER. The tiniest game on the NEO GEO was PUZZLED, it came in at just over 12 meg.... SNK wasnt big on data compression. But on the CD version they were. The neo geo cds were quite simply SHIT. Made from the cheapest of materials, they never lasted long. I know i had one.
leviathon74 3 years ago
Ok, but the fact that the console had such little RAM, makes storage capacity irrelevant.
You can't load 5 megs of data if u only have 4 megs of ram.
I dont understand, I used to download Neo Geo roms back in the day... they were NOT compressed. They were never more than 12 megs.
ff8123 3 years ago
The neo geo cd had 54 meg of available memory. It was able to load up ALPHA MISSION II once and never had to load again. The reson why they were smaller is because the actual games were huge, but the mame versions are tiny because they are emulated. The games on the cds are different again. Take KOF95 alot of changes (although small) were made so it would fit on the cd along with the music.
leviathon74 3 years ago
Wow...
Wait so, despite CD's holding far more data than cartridges, they compressed the hell out of the games to compensate for a poor CD Drive read speed?
Ouch... seems as if they got bitten in the ass by shitty programming, when you consider than PSX has only 2 megs of system RAM, and could easily handle SNK quality sprites, on a 2x speed CD Drive.
ff8123 3 years ago
Well to add insult to injury, the CDZ which was reputed to have a 2x cd rom drive... didnt actually HAVE 2x cd rom drive... some sort of data retreivel method they were able to use. Im like... a double spin cd rom would have been like.. cheaper??? GOD SNK.. what were yas thinking.. Here u have the benchmark of arcade and home entertainment (at the time) and ..well.. yas fucked it...Id expect that from SEGA but not you guys...
leviathon74 3 years ago
As for the psx versions of the games, in my opinion... the sucked. The neo geo versions are always gonna be better. I could finish the psx version of KOF95 on the highest difficulty. But my neo geoCD version i was flat out completing on medium. Also if u notice the game that this guy holds up. i noticed that its SNK VS CAPCOM. 708 meg (if you pause it at 01:37). Plus u also have to realise that alot of the neo geo games that were converted to cd had their music changed have you noticed??
leviathon74 3 years ago
I never noticed any differences between cartridge and CD versions of the games as I never owned either consoles. I just think its CRAZY they changed the versions for CD, when CD's could have easiyl heald all the data a cartridge holds.
Sure read speed would have been a problem but they could have worked around that. Oh, and as far as I know, "Giga-Power" refered to clock-speed of the CPU.
ff8123 3 years ago
Dude, the clock speed never changed for the neo geo or the neo geo cd, 14mhz. 17% slower in countries that used PAL tv. Giga Power meens the size of the game.
leviathon74 3 years ago
That makes far more sense than a gighert clock speed for a console that old... I should check my sources more.
Morons should have just used a real twin speed CD Drive, as well as added CPU cache and they'd have done fine. Either that or waited for a Quad CD drive to be an topion to load those 54 megs into the RAM
ff8123 3 years ago
well dude i had 12 neo geo games and pretty much all the mags that used to review them. And you saw with you own eyes how big the games were. Emulated games will never be that big.
leviathon74 3 years ago
Yeah, its weird though. I thought when I was downloading roms to play on my PC's emulator i was downloading uncompressed RAW dumps from the cartridges.
Then again its been so long i could simply be dead wrong.
ff8123 3 years ago
well thats what i liked about the neo geo games/hardware. Back then it was considered the roles royce of video game consoles. In my opinion there will NEVER be a console like it ever totally devoted to quality gaming. even now, 5 years on, there must have been something happening to make sony and sega and Nintendo put these awesome games on their systems. SNK aint dead.... just misunderstood.
