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?

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.

Neo Geo CD failed because:

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 ^_^
