NeoGeo CD -Loading time- Art of Fighting 3

You don't actually see long loading screens on new gaming consoles and didn't feel the pain of old consoles loading time... Here's Art of Fighting 3 for NeoGeo CD, take a look how much does it take to go from stage 1 to stage 2 :P

In a bizarre twist, there was some games (like KOF 94 or Double Dragon) where the loading time could take only 1 or 2 seconds if both players choose the same character/team and the fight is in their stage. I think the game would read everything in the same track and only one time, and so all this speed.

Yeah, there also another thing(it is actually a trick used by SNK to fool the players in NGCD), When you first start the game(eg. Samurai Showdown 2) It will start a long loading screen before you get the Menu. Once it finished(*It already loaded all the sprites of Haoumaru, Cause SNK knows that 80% of the player would choose him for the first time they play the game @_@) so if you choose him, you'll find that the loading would be very fast, but if you choose another player it would be slow

Would be great if you could replace the cd drive to a 4x or 8x speed but i read that can't be done since the system also is very short on cache memory. Are there any people playing neo geo cd's on modded xbox1? I hear it plays games really fast with almost no loading times

[tek87]

even the loading screen took time to load. WTH!! Glad those days are gone!!!!

I really love how pretty the loading screens are at least. I wish they'd of just put some thought into redesigning things for the cd ports. Like some games had the chocie of removing all the animated unnessary crap and got down to the fighting. Called demo and animation cut. Its in the menu for most of the later games. SS4 totally needed this but snk didnt start until last blade.

This is absolutely horrible I just can't believe a Neo Geo exec sat in a room with this system and thought this was ok.... I'm surprised they even sold one console let alone two and um a Neo Geo nut.

[mrwiw]

loading System lol

[MrDerOutsider]

As you load even more than to play.

[phonedork]

They should just cut the stupid cut scenes out. I never watch that cheesy shit anyways. Just want to play.

@burzumaske20 Good luck paying hundreds for your games.

The characters are indeed smaller compared to the cart version.

[Fishcake21]

is it me or does the characters seem smaller than the neo geo mvs version? Some games have some sound effects and voice samples removed, this one lowers sprite resolution!
