Classic Game Room - SENGOKU 2 for Neo Geo CD review

[@magagnomagagni]

cool artstyle..and great gameplay.This is one of the best beat em ups in the videogame history

[@Dosunceste]

Best beat'em up on Neo Geo, even better than Sengoku 3.

[@GuilhermeAlbani]

Thanks for introducing me this series!

[@KBrownson]

Very nice review. Classic Game Room is definitely the best game review channel on KZbin.

[@LGR]

Sega CD @ 1:38... I found that funny. So used to SCD loading times sucking it sticks on your mind doesn't it?

[@BlackCurtainStudio]

I bought this game solely based on this review.

[@DEFkon001]

If you look through some of the other related sengoko 2 videos there's a few that look as if they were played on emulators and captured directly. The colors and picture sharpness are much sharper and vivid in the actual game. There is also Sengoko 3 which I think is arcade only.. but the visuals are at the peak of 2D quality.

[@8BitHearted]

Samurai Dog that delivers roundhouse kicks...I'm sold.

[@CommodoreFan64]

@JerryTerrifying I hear ya there on keeping the MVS stock, but I don't have the room either, and sometimes the MVS 1/2 slot mother boards popup on ebay or gamegavel, which makes nice compromise, also the adaptors have popped up on Ebay, etc.. Sense i am a bit broke cause of the holidays, and G/F B-day, I will be sticking with my Neo Geo collections on my Wii.

[@KingGameReview]

I've played this series in M.A.M.E. , and they were pretty good.

[@patrickthehedgehog]

This game looks great! Thanks for more NEO GEO CD reviews!!! The first game in this series has a really strange art style quite different from this one.

[@TheLastLineLive]

@Torqegood score is replay value. All replay valuie means is whether the game will keep you playing after you go through it once.

[@TrevHead10]

Thanks for introducing me to a great beat em up series. Theres some really great games that us folk outside Japan never get to see, (its even worse where i live in Europe then the USA, sigh Raiden 4 and aces) theres alot of old tat as well but the wackyness can make up for it. Im looking forward to Comet 77 [C77] and all those lovly shmups that are coming out.

[@samuraispiritsx]

Just got and beat this game on the neo cd and I have to say this was the most amazing beat em up I have ever played. The variety in the gameplay and the stages is crazy and the music is amazing. This is a true masterpiece in every way.

[@beaulaj]

The first sengoku is on SNK arcade classics vol.1 for the Wii and PS2. You reviewed that game and said that you would review each seperate game on the disc seperately but haven't done to many of them yet.

[@The90sGamingGuy]

Is this game on any of the SNK arcade compilations for the PS2? This game looks kick ass. Another great review from Classic Game Room HD.

[@ecoterrorist]

I played one of them on arcade somewhere as well once

[@Champsterz]

love this game.. one of my all time favorite beat em up.

[@razorfiend1]

Wicked! More Neo Geo CD reviews please!

[@AllMnM]

allready 13 ratings without actually a video... that proves how good you are mark :D

[@theforestero]

BEAUTIFUL ...the memories..

[@chrishu76]

I played the first one in the arcades. I would love to play this and the 3rd one.

[@zeliph]

The death animations are pretty cool. How their body slices in half and then shrink. Odd...they shrink?

[@Tempora158]

Try the Sengoku Denshou port for the Super Famicom. It's one of the few SNK ports that didn't get a release outside Japan and it's the only Sengoku to get a 16-bit port.

[@ricardomunoz2010]

classic reviews modern reviews all awesome

[@sleightofhandreviews]

I first played this in an arcade down the Jersey shore. Might have been in an arcade in Seaside, or maybe AC. Wow. I really want to get this now :)

[@neonlight7082]

The Sengoku series is one of the best series for the neogeo!

[@Alastor343]

ohoo man I hope you do play 3 one day. You can do kickass wrestling throws in it

[@Emillister]

Excellent video, only problem is that I can't see it! :(

[@JerryTerrifying]

Yeah I want to get a converter for my AES to play MVS carts. If I had the room I'd just buy an MVS and keep it as is. I've seen quitea few on Craigslist for $300 - $400.

[@LGR]

Dude, his equipment doesn't support the signal somehow as he said. I suppose you can get over it and enjoy the vid

[@fullmetalgridlock]

there is an english version of this . . . our mall here has it in arcade . . .

[@saleemlight]

at the ending when hes fighting the fish i swear it sounds JUST like samurai showdown, the music that is... brings back memories

[@andersdenkend]

Looks great. Gorgeous 2D graphics.

[@kingshott1]

i remember playing this on an arcade machine in a hotel on holiday when i was about 6. swear to god - best part of the holiday lol. i wanna play it again so bad but dont have a neo geo ='(

[@iglofiscj]

thank you Niles!

[@AlthenasGuard]

Sengoku 2 is an excellent game but Sengoku 3 is my favorite beatemup for the NeoGeo. I would definitely check it out since it came out in 2001 which by then SNK was mainly focusing on fighters. Plus I believe it was SNK's last game before SNK became SNK Playmore. The Gameplay is off the wall in Sengoku 3 as you can choose between 4 different characters and 2 bonus charaters and you can do super awsome combos. Definitely check Sengoku 3 out you won't be dissapointed!

[@timspacedout87]

It's good how you wield a sword and cut people in half, actually this should have been one of those CGR reviews where there's a repetitive catch-phrase like "you wield a sword and cut people in half".

[@GenericRubbishName]

Is there a SNES version of this game? If so, I'll look for it.

[@LifeFirst]

Sengoku 1,2, and 3 are the best beat-em ups ever made

[@Menfis55]

The part 1 was all over arcades, I was almost dying when I saw part 1 back in 1991, I spent a fortune playing it in arcades. Bough part 2 for my AES in 1993, its a gems, sad that still rare to find and expensive for AES

[@aarondoyle96]

This is out on WiiWare now

[@AxiomofDiscord]

I'll have to check if its in my neo geo emulation collection ... still having a little trouble copying the CDs for Neo Geo Cd in a way that works well with that emulator and I am without original hardware maybe I should just break down and get one hmmm ... maybe Aberran

[@lshsballer]

i want a neo geo cd badly, and thanks again niles

[@eeemdash]

Thanks, Niles.

[@CommodoreFan64]

@JerryTerrifying I hear ya there, but some people have said the CDZ helps on some games, and others note so much, but If I had the money to blow, and did not have bills to pay, etc... LOL! I would much rather go with a consolized MVS system, with one or 2 cart slots. from looking online, it does not seem that hard to do, and the games are cheaper then the home AES games.

[@juncho1977]

You should review Captain Commando, lots of cool graphic death animations

[@420159]

don't forget turkeys and giant slices of cheese

[@magicgibbon69]

looks great!

[@armorgeddon]

You're capturing this to VHS? Why don't you just use an old analogue TV-card for the PCI-slot for example, like a Hauppauge WinTV? That way you could capture directly.

[@iJeeto]

Nice donation! Cool looking beat em up

[@AxiomofDiscord]

Guess the first was a 1991 game than this 1993 and the last 2001 so I am guessing the latest might look a good deal different or in Neo Geo style not at all different.

[@brtshstel]

Actually, you CAN compare the load times between the Neo Geo CD and the Sega CD, because they had single-speed CD ROM drives.

[@siwy2501]

i love oldschool game graphics!

[@AlthenasGuard]

There is an excellent Sega Saturn shump called Sengoku Blade

[@ptwob]

praise niles :) this looks sweet,i know im gonna look it up

[@ZILOGz80VIDEOS]

how long untill you review star master!

[@SpinyNormanDinsdale]

Speaking of donations. Mark I am sure it would be a lot of work, but have you considered releasing a list of games that you already own so people don't send in copies of those games when they donate? I have some games I would like to donate but I don't know if you own the system/game yet and I don't want to waste your time or mine :)

[@anotimpul5]

i am pretty shure there is a sengoku game on an snk compilation for the psp

[@Damon6666]

MAn I rember playing this in the arcades when I was younger. Loved it! This and samurai Showdown 2 made me want to Beg and plead my mom to get me a NEo-Geo Aes. But lo and behold it was 600 some dollars for the system and 200 some dollars for a game(and people cry about consoles now adays). But the NEo-Geo is 1 of the best looking consoles EVER(the joystick alone is jaw-droping). O and SENGOKU 3 is NOthing like the Other 2.

[@greenteen85]

oh i wouldnt have noticed ur mistake if u hadnt pointed it out. i thought you meand segA CD-ESQE

[@drers25i]

You should review Sengoku 3. That game is awsome!

[@sintality]

That game looks incredibly similar to "Brawl Brothers" Mark for the SNES, please check that game out if you like this NEO-GEO title, it's very similar! Best "side-scrolling beat 'em ups" are Streets of Rage, Final Fight, Brawl Brothers, and Ninja Turtles 4 Turtles in Time!

[@timabad]

that looks great

[@dflores010]

Why do a lot of 90's games have 199x?

[@StopFear]

guys can you please give a name or website where to download a good working emulator for Neo Geo CD?

[@Flodder450]

0:48,reminds me of the music in terranigma or FF7

[@a3HeadedMonkey]

1:37 Sega CD? ;)

[@yusukeshinyama]

Haha, you really love japanese over-the-top crazy stuff. The artwork of this game is totally insane even in the japanese standards. BTW, the guy at the end (with a fist) says: "I CANT STAND ANYMORE! IM GONNA CRUSH YOU IN PERSON!!!1 (skull skull)" Just imagine the sweat and steam inside his mask...

[@tumest]

1:28 FTW. Freakin hilarious.

[@dezm101]

this game has some wicked bosses

[@kempet]

Download the arcade version and play it on MAME.

[@marco-gg6qr]

Lord karnage... No 1 game reviewer!

[@masteriansun]

great game and review

[@devmiles]

i wish i had this for my mvs, still pretty expensive.

[@MikeysWalkthroughs]

Niles is the guy that donated the Neo Geo CD to Mark

[@meanmanturbo]

lol at 5:35 From South Park: Fuuuck you, dolpin and whaaaale!!!

[@SetTopGames]

You mean like what they're doing today?

[@nightmathzombieethan]

If you get Sengoku 3 make sure you get the Ninja Cowboy Jeanjacket Trans-am edition!

[@DanteN6]

I believe this game is about Oda Nobunaga time traveing since Sengoku is that time period where the Japanese warlords fought each other and that demon guy is probably Nobunaga.

[@tamagoMMA]

Sengoku 3 was a different kind of style visually.. much more beautiful, made by Noise Factory instead of SNK.. it's less of the crazy feudal Japan meets Japanese Shintoism and more of the modern city Streets of Rage style, but still worth checking out!

[@JerryTerrifying]

The Neo Geo CD's cool and all...but the loading times are terrible. I picked up an AES for a very decent price and there are many games that are affordable for it. There's a video compairing load times. On the AES the first match is over before the NGCD even loads the first fight. It's terrible.

[@CommodoreFan64]

I hear what your saying, but all i was saying is, and i would feel the same if i was mark, and on a budget, why spend money on the AES, when someone gave me the NeoGeo CD for free, and there is the Neo Geo CD Z model machine that helps out load times some.

[@cessnaace]

I've got to track down a copy. After I track down a Neo Geo CD that is. lol. STAY AWESOME! :)

[@fishsama999]

That is amazing as hell... /wants

[@eviljoebob]

wierd looking game but looks like it would be fun. I like the guys wearing wicker baskets on their heads, their pretty funny

[@mtganfilm]

@Classicgamesfan89 It's a beat em up...

[@SMAAAASHTV]

@gamegfan1990 do a little research, the NEO GEO CD did not cost that much nor did the games, the CD in the name gives it away since it's not a cartridge.....the NEO GEO AES, the cartridge based system was very expensive.

[@rahnyc4]

i could have swarn this game had red blood before. why doesnt this game have that?

[@TKnightcrawler]

I WILL say that they tone down the weird in Sengoku 3/Sengoku 2000. But it plays a lot better and has excellent music.

[@superrobot5384]

Sweet, this is on Wii's Virtual Console now.

[@headbangermat930]

those fish people are awesome

[@Torqegood]

Exactly. Length, and story is fun, yet score is not replay, it all depends on if the game can be fun. I didn't say this game was not fun, I'm saying score is not replay. Like E.T. has a score system.

[@wontbebothered]

Yeah... I saw that too.. XD. so, Naruto is a copy from SENGOKU 2???

[@CrimsonDusk]

I think I played Sengoku 3 once and as I remember wasn't that memorable. Gotta give this series another look.

[@AlthenasGuard]

I did some research and it turns out that Sengoku 3 isn't on the NeogeoCD. In fact There were only 300 Aes copies of that game ever produced. Looks like your only likely option to play the game is to get the MVS cart and get a consolized MVS. I just looked on ebay and Sengoku 3 MVS is going for around 150$ ouch!

[@moviekingjames]

its on xbox live

[@ABlackFalcon]

All Neo-Geo systems base the game region on the system's region coding, not the games - the games include all language versions that were made. He must have a Japanese Neo-Geo CD system. Also, yeah, the first two Sengoku games are okay, but the third one is fantastic, easily the best beat 'em up on the Neo-Geo. Cart only game though, no CD version. All three Sengoku games were on Neo-Geo AES and MVS. The first two were also on NGCD. Finally the first had Japan-only Sega CD and SNES ports.

[@charlieRicketts]

now I want a Neo geo

[@StickPeopleAndPuff]

its still a great system with loading times!
