Damn mate, the Neo Geo fighting games TOTALLY rocked (and rock). I remember playing again and again all the fatal fury videogames ... from the famous "king of fighters 90" up to Garou Mark of The wolves... The action, the colours and the FX's made them more appealing to me than Capcom fighting games...
I remember when I moved to Asia after high school and saw the neo geo everywhere in 92. Man I was blown away. After owning a sega genesis and super nintendo. They just seemed crappy!? So i actually saved a couple months and got it at $500 in hong kong. And it only came with one controller lol! But after getting a couple games that were very pricey. My favorite sports game of all time has to be baseball stars 2! Man the animation was amazing. The neo geo was and will always be the "Cadillac" of
I got shivers down my spine every time I turn on my Neo Geo. it would be really cool if you could do a follow up for just the games so I can figure out which ones to get next! At the moment I only have 6 games so I really want to research which one I might like before dropping the serious cash that a new game requires!
HCG often says "d ally great graphics for its time"...
Hell, it still looks damn good! I was born in 1992, so needless to say, I missed out on ond console gems like this. But I've played NES,SNES and others on my PsP- consoles that came around the same time- and to had graphics that could rival ps1 2D games( or better!) must have been awe-inspiring! Maybe I'll try to find one later in life when I'm not a poor college student XD I'll be sure to bid on one on ebay with a ton of games!
Great video! I don't own any Neo-Geo hardware, but I've played Magician Lord, and I LOVE it! And I get sick of gamers ripping on it; saying it that it looks outdated, when I personally think that it's aged quite well-and, as you said, is very colorful.
i remember back at the time a friend of mine just tells me that he played it first on the neo-geo at one of his related house and he loves it then he hear that it's released on the genesis he never had any idea that the neo geo is 5 time more powerful than the genesis so he bought it and then he comes at my house to try it on my genesis well he relise that it's not the same but he still like it a little i still remember the look on his face.
why do game reviewers like this never get a lot of hate like CGR and PBG but people like ign and gamespot get a lot? oh yeah cause they actually care about videogames
they had one of those for game cabinets in an old dairy queen a long time ago where i live and after baseball games we used to go in there and eat while playing king of the monsters and samurai shodown. i think the other games were neo driftout and world heroes. ( another street fighter clone.) still a cool game though.
@hyperkoopa5 This is a collection that he says began in about 1986. He didn't just purchase these over a few months or even years, this is a massive collection that he's built up over the span of more than two decades. Makes us all wish we had kept our games! My mom was obsessed with throwing old stuff out, and I guess I never imagined that old games, especially crappy ones, would ever be collectible.
@wdcain1, Very good PS2 pick-ups, all you need is Samurai Shodown Anthology (a must have). Btw the game at 7:56 is Mutation Nation, one of my favs. :D
After seeing this four months ago, I went out and bought EVERY NeoGeo game I could for my ps2. I got 'FF Battle Archives 1-2', 'AoFi Anthology', 'KOF Orochi Saga', 'World Heroes Anthology', 'Metal Slug Anthology', and 'SNK Arcade Classics vol 1'. I got it all for about $65; and I do NOT regrete my purchases. They are AMAZING! And a ton of fun to play! Thank you for the heads-up on these great games!
What was that game at 7:56? It looked like a beat-em up. Also it looked fun.
neo geo was awesome in the arcades. you could have multi games in one cabinet, stuff like metal slug, nam 75 (my favorite mostly because of the story and i like making fun of the guy who says do i have to go back to this hell again), baseball stars, and samurai showdown. this system had so much variety all in one arcade game.
Everyone's reaction to Fatal Fury when it initially released was that it was a clone since there were so many other clones released at the time (World Heroes was more a clone), so anything that was a 2D fighter was automatically dismissed as a SF clone, fact is that Fatal Fury was the most successful 2d fighting game to carve it's own path apart from SF. Let's face it, 70% of SF fans were fanboys at the time (and still are), I was one but got over it. Today I play G.M.O.T.W. :)
hey you know tessa from Magician lord? she appeared in SNK vs capcom chaos for ps2, she was a playable character! yeah SNK rules and i love SNK im a big fan! and glad you support them too!
Man, let me tell you, RESPECT!!! U are a real videogamer :). Thank you soo much, you just amde me feel right back when I was a kid and I was all exited watching these games on the streets. Keep that passion for the videogames coming broda, you have got yourself a fan! :)
we all used to dream we had this at home... especailly when we all were playing our nes' at home, i had one person who was a friend of a friend who owned it.
@hyperkoopa5 he's been collecting for years and he has a job. why is that so hard for people to wrap their heads around? collections like these don't just pop up overnight.
The neo geo was part of the 4th generation of video game consoles, which was the pinnacle of 2D gaming. It took 4 generations of 2D graphics to reach the level where the best games in 2D could be made. We are about to enter the 8th generation of video game consoles, so that would be 4 generations of 3D graphics (primarily), so I'm assuming next generation will be the pinnacle of 3D gaming.
neo geo CD was so freakin expensive.. I used to play only in arcades...ppl use to forget about 3DO too, but both were incredible, comparing to master system and genesis no match at all
what do you think of the new Analog Interactive Neo Geo CMV all in WOOD (lol they really stress that fact) modified console? ...it plays Neo Geo's CMV's...
The Neo Geo machine at the arcade near me had Baseball Stars Professional, NAM-1975, Magician Lord, Ninja Combat and Crossed Swords. Nobody ever talks about Ninja Combat. That game was awesome and very under-rated. I hope it will be on a Neo Geo collection disc one day for the PS3 and/or X-Box 360.
Christmas of 1990 was epic for me. A Neo-Geo Gold System + Baseball Stars and Top Player's Golf. :) I also got Cyber-Lip, Nam-1975, and League Bowling a few months later. I actually got in touch with a wholesaler who was selling the Gold System new for $550 and the games were $120 - $170 each which was a great deal for the time.
I remember when Neo Geo Gold System was being sold at Shaper Image. It was the Ferrari of game consoles back in the early 90’s. If you could flip the bill for this extremely expensive gaming system and shell out over $200.00 for games...CRAZY! I have friends who still cannot believe how big the game cartridges are. A wopping 7.5 inches x 5.34 inches…wow what the fuck is this?!!! I still have this system and it’s still a blast to play as far as 2d games go. Neo Geo: Bigger Badder Better!!!
I remember similar games on Boxes, but just now I heard of such console =] nice to know atleast now, my "gaming superjump" was from nes to pc and to snes =)
Weee. I had a NeoGeo for a short time when i was about 13 or 14. Now im more than twice as old and can afford all the games that were inaccessible to me when i was a kid. The Graphics STILL Impress me today, and i played anything else beetween, up to now, real 3D games on a PS3. I would never give away a Neo Geo for 100s of Ps3's.
World Heroes! I played that game at a bowling alley when I was a kid and could not remember the name of it until you showed it in this video. Awesome man!
There was a comic book store that had neo geo games out and I used to play the fuck out of it when I was there. Nam was the first game I ever got to play on the beast. That was when I became a man.
I remember in that yrs Amiga use to be the best compromised solution to play such games at home, unbelieveble 680$ for the console, 250$ per cartridge..today you can play better game on the cellphone
I never knew of the NEO GEO games until I read about them in the Retro Gamer mags that are from the UK.
As someone who was too young to even afford the pocket money to buy games in the 90's, (I just barely started getting pocket money for helping my parents at home in 1998 and got an N64 as my first console at the age of 13) I could understand why I never heard of the NEO GEO until I started reading Retro Gamer.
If your referring to the box that has Ken from street fighter, it actually isn't a game but a 20th anniversary controller for the PS2 that includes a comic lol I have two of them
Just had an awesome gaming session with my friends last night, playing Samurai Shodown IV, Shocktroopers and Metal Slug 2 on the Neo Geo. No console did a better job of bringing arcade games right into your home.
@edouardleniqueur The technology in the console wouldn't allow them to make it any cheaper. All the parts at the time were premiums. Same with the carts, the amount of data in the carts dwarf any other console.
lool i would love to have a time machine i would travel to 1989 and show him uncharted 2 or god of war 3 xD. anyway great video now you can play those games on ps3 they are on ps store.
Yup!! good old days, I remember this system back in '89-'90 but it was EXPENSIVE and so were the games. I did buy a NEO-GEO CD in '94 but the loading times were horrible! Love the Metal slug series!!!!!
You really had to be a gamer in the mid 80s to early 90s to get how incredible the NEO GEO was. When it comes to consoles there was nothing out there that matched the graphics on those NEO GEO games. Then seeing the price of it and that most stores didn't even carry it, as a kid, only increased the mythology surrounding the system.
@namekman01 i'm not saying you can't appreciate how good it is.
But as a kid in during those years it was something else. Now you have systems with good graphic ability at your disposal. That wasn't the case growing up in WI. Seeing what the Neo Geo looked like back then compared to the systems that were available to me... the Neo Geo just mesmerizing.
@jorgekluney I'm 33 years old now.!!..and this console along with the pc engine does indeed have a mystical quality...i used to browse the mail order pages at back of games magazine from my local newsagent and drool over this system you had to order from japan...and it was years ahead of its time...the carts actually were used in the neo geo arcade machines....this system and the PC ENGINE (turbo grafx)...i need to get on ebay and bid on these consoles before they are gone forever..
@sd9800 Yea well when i was younger i new jack shit about retro consoles and i was in a yard sale and i saw a Neo geo 4 15 dolars boxed with 10 boxed games i was gonna buy it but i looked at the cable it looked funny turnes out it was just a normal AV cable when i got internet i looked on ebay and i looked at the prices FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK
neo geo had alot of good games on it like baseball stars 1 and 2 robo army samural shodown series 3 count bout those games i liked bad thing i never had a neo geo played those games on emulator called mame.great review.
I am still looking for a good neo geo aes, sadly i did buy one, but it was damaged in shipment, but i have held onto the cartridges, hoping one day i will,can get one...
I just saw for the first time that jacket is a dreamcast jacket..and I have watched this video like 30 times and just recognized that. ahhh! it looks so cool
how did u get the original version of geeses theme from fatal fury special for the intro? ive been trying to find an mp3 but i always end up finding the arranged or the version from real bout fatal fury 2
do anyone remember a arcade game about big robots. You had a choose of 3 diffrent pilots with there own robot with diffrent looks. In the game you fight other robots and you could find special weapons to your robot after you killed a enemy. If you know the name of this game, send me a note. Thx!
I read an article in an videogames magazine back in 93' or 94' about the coming console..and was totally blown away!Even though I knew I could never afford it,due to the reality that I was 10years old at that day :-)
WOW i remember when i skipped out on my lunch break at my job to run to the bank get the cash and head for the mall at EB to buy their last Neo Geo on clearance for $299 and i bought 10 games that were 25-55$
i was 30min late getting back to work but it was worth getting chewed out :)
god what id give if someone gave me one of those systems for free mvs for free id fucking shit my self sorry but god the two best arcade consoles were the neo geo mvs and street fighter if i had both id be one happy camper
if anyone wants to play these games without wasting your hard-earned money, just simply download a neo-geo emulator. I downloaded one a long time ago, then I found a site that hosted all the neo geo roms. it's not hard to find if you do some googling.
@liquidt3ch its just retro-collecting...BTW...no emulator will give you 100% the real deal... 90% max as emulators arent an exact per pixel replica of the originals but a way to play old games in a small windows at pc resolutions....cheap but not the same as the real thing...
ThE most classy home console ever. Owning this back in the days..... you were the king :) 100% arcade at home. SNES or Genesis were Kindergarten compared to this.
Check ebay. I bought my NeoGeo AES for $250 with two controllers from a ebay-seller called hit-japan. It's a store based in Japan and frequently sells used NeoGeo's for good prices. But be aware of the cartridge's prices, some of them are just mind-blowing (how about Metal Slug 1 for $1.700?). If you want to enjoy NeoGeo games for reasonable prices, buy a consolized MVS. That's a NeoGeo arcade system which has been converted into a home console (what makes the games far more cheaper).
No, consolized MVS's are normally modded, set up and sold only by private persons. But again on ebay you should find plenty of offers. The only drop of bitterness is that consolized MVS's look pretty ugly compared to the original NeoGeo AES.
i just recently got the neogeo emulator to work on my psp. and i am just blown away. what a beautiful system and games to match. I have some great ones including Money Puzzle Exchanger, KoF 2003, Waku Waku 7 (though a bit slow or is the game slightly slower paced? AND my two favorites, LastBlade2 and Garou: Mark of the Wolves. These last two fighters look stunning on a psp screen.
you look like so punk, the kinda guy you wouldn't mess with in fear that he might kill you......................yet you're almost squealing out of joy over these games/consloes
Really nice review of your system, man (: ah, it's unexplainable how I felt the first time I played World Heroes, Samurai Shodown, Metal Slug, etc back in the early 90's. Thanks for the post.
Great review - I remember the Neo Geo vividly. I was still playing the multi-game arcade game well into the 90's. If I had to choose, Metal Slug (1 & 2) would have to be my favorite. Too many honorable mentions to type here.
I do agree that the neo geo had lots of great games!! almost every fighting game i played on the neo geo turned out great! except for fight fever, i think.
One of the most reputable Neo-Geo sellers on ebay is Neotropolis, i recommend buying from him. An AES system with S-Video and Stereo output mods added by him will probably cost about $300, Component video output mod will cost a little more but if you have a flatscreen tv, it might be worth it. He also installs an LED light under the Reset button that glows whenever the system is turned on. You can usually request which color you'd prefer to be installed.
@Shoe3003 Have you seen their Neogeo 3 in 1 system that plays AES, MVS, and CD games all on one unit? Its Good, but I just wish it was just an AES & CD in one...
4;13 = showing love to the system ...great collection!

It was the console that we gamers (in the early 90's) only spoke of in hushed tones. It was "The Beast". It was "The Legend". It was the Neo Geo.
This console was marketed for adults and teens who could afford it or kids who's parents had more money than good sense.

I remember in that yrs Amiga use to be the best compromised solution to play such games at home, unbelieveble 680$ for the console, 250$ per cartridge..today you can play better game on the cellphone

Technically more sophisticated in terms of graphics, and sound, yes, yes ... but BETTER games? I beg to differ.

I never knew of the NEO GEO games until I read about them in the Retro Gamer mags that are from the UK.
As someone who was too young to even afford the pocket money to buy games in the 90's, (I just barely started getting pocket money for helping my parents at home in 1998 and got an N64 as my first console at the age of 13) I could understand why I never heard of the NEO GEO until I started reading Retro Gamer.

Just had an awesome gaming session with my friends last night, playing Samurai Shodown IV, Shocktroopers and Metal Slug 2 on the Neo Geo. No console did a better job of bringing arcade games right into your home.

You guys need to do a more in depth podcast for the Neo Geo for the long time fans. The one you guys did was good but basic info.

@edouardleniqueur The technology in the console wouldn't allow them to make it any cheaper. All the parts at the time were premiums. Same with the carts, the amount of data in the carts dwarf any other console.

You really had to be a gamer in the mid 80s to early 90s to get how incredible the NEO GEO was. When it comes to consoles there was nothing out there that matched the graphics on those NEO GEO games. Then seeing the price of it and that most stores didn't even carry it, as a kid, only increased the mythology surrounding the system.

@namekman01 i'm not saying you can't appreciate how good it is.
But as a kid in during those years it was something else. Now you have systems with good graphic ability at your disposal. That wasn't the case growing up in WI. Seeing what the Neo Geo looked like back then compared to the systems that were available to me... the Neo Geo just mesmerizing.

if anyone wants to play these games without wasting your hard-earned money, just simply download a neo-geo emulator. I downloaded one a long time ago, then I found a site that hosted all the neo geo roms. it's not hard to find if you do some googling.
liquidt3ch 1 year ago
@liquidt3ch its just retro-collecting...BTW...no emulator will give you 100% the real deal... 90% max as emulators arent an exact per pixel replica of the originals but a way to play old games in a small windows at pc resolutions....cheap but not the same as the real thing...

where could i buy a neo geo and its games?
meclimax 1 year ago
@meclimax
Check ebay. I bought my NeoGeo AES for $250 with two controllers from a ebay-seller called hit-japan. It's a store based in Japan and frequently sells used NeoGeo's for good prices. But be aware of the cartridge's prices, some of them are just mind-blowing (how about Metal Slug 1 for $1.700?). If you want to enjoy NeoGeo games for reasonable prices, buy a consolized MVS. That's a NeoGeo arcade system which has been converted into a home console (what makes the games far more cheaper).
Murikov 1 year ago
@Murikov so, if i wanted to get the MVS would i go to that same person?
meclimax 1 year ago
@meclimax
No, consolized MVS's are normally modded, set up and sold only by private persons. But again on ebay you should find plenty of offers. The only drop of bitterness is that consolized MVS's look pretty ugly compared to the original NeoGeo AES.
Murikov 1 year ago
i just recently got the neogeo emulator to work on my psp. and i am just blown away. what a beautiful system and games to match. I have some great ones including Money Puzzle Exchanger, KoF 2003, Waku Waku 7 (though a bit slow or is the game slightly slower paced? AND my two favorites, LastBlade2 and Garou: Mark of the Wolves. These last two fighters look stunning on a psp screen.

@ TheyNeverSayNever
One of the most reputable Neo-Geo sellers on ebay is Neotropolis, i recommend buying from him. An AES system with S-Video and Stereo output mods added by him will probably cost about $300, Component video output mod will cost a little more but if you have a flatscreen tv, it might be worth it. He also installs an LED light under the Reset button that glows whenever the system is turned on. You can usually request which color you'd prefer to be installed.
