Quite surprised there was never a tennis game for the Neo Geo, you'd think that would have been a given considering its international appeal? But 3 Count Bout was such a disapointment, only one on one matches and the game was literally impossible to win grapples from the 4th round onwards, even if you used a turbo fire controller, you had to cheese the game to get anywhere after that. If it was closer to something like Slam Masters, it would be regarded as a classic, even the Neo Geo Pocket's wrestling game was far superior.

Great review, can only agree (and yes, Windjammers IS the best - competitive scenes spawned around 2010 around the world and we're still going at it) but I would mention something that might explain why sports game on the Neo Geo didn't do that well: credits. When played at an arcade in the 90s, these would take a lot of credits (especially since you'd played them with a friend) and it would not feel fair that you actually had to insert a new coin to continue past half-time. In the case of Windjammers, the default settings outside Japan was 30 seconds or 12 points to win a round (45s/15pts in Japan, and now we play with 99s/12pts) so it took the fun away.

I always loved the Neo Geo. Back in the days, it always felt like a seriously powerful mystery Japanese console that can run arcade-perfect games in your home. No wonder it cost was only for the rich for those cartridges was insanely expensive. When EDGE magazine revealed the Neo Geo CD I was stoked, but all that excitement fell flat as the machine never came out in the UK. It such a pity for SNK really had a winner of a machine if they received further investment.

Several years later i played it again on PC (Mame) and it felt just as great as the first time i played it.

This one made me happy. I recently bought a new memory card for my AES from StoneAgeGamer, and have been enjoying playing through a season of Super Baseball 2020. I always win by a landslide, but it's just one of those games that is "my game." I have most of these on MVS, but Baseball Stars Professional, Super Baseball 2020, Top Player's Golf, and Super Sidekicks 2 I also have on my AES, as I had it first. I played a lot of Windjammers with friends, as a buddy of mine and I both have it on our MVS cabinets, but League Bowling will always have my heart. My oldest son and I started playing it when he was 3, and hearing him yell "BEER FRAME" every game always made me laugh.

In hindsight, it was a ballsy, or perhaps just well thought out move to have that music play once the play started and stop once tackled. Really brought the atmosphere up a notch. It could have been annoying to have music at all but nope, just a good jam that made you feel like "we're underway!"

The reason these games are so good., besides the talent of the creators., is because the effort is put on the gameplay but also on the "flashy" stuff., arcades are basically the same as panchinko, videopoker, pinball, pool or slots machines., so everything got to be flashy, loud and attract people to put coins., that´s the genius part., is all about a design style that is got to be flashy, loud, attractive and an engaging gameplay with a "hook"., PC gaming on the other hand is slow., clunky., mostly unpolished, something that focus on losing time., you can see that in rpgs., adventure games, simulators, strategy games, and the middle ground maybe are the shooters, nowadays the focus is more in western gaming, on pc gaming so we see story telling., rpg systems, gritty designs, unpolishness and updates.,... but back then those people in japan were challenging themselves to make a piece of gaming that is a rentable system., cause after all to buy an Arcade was an investment., you did buy an arcade machine to make money on it not just to play the game

It is difficult to compare arcade boards directly because many do things in different ways. It's important to remember that the Neo Geo was designed to be a reasonably powerful, standard arcade board. It was comparable with Capcom's CPS 1 and 2 boards. Capcom's boards had a higher resolution, which is notable, while the Neo Geo's sprite handling was unique and flexible in some ways. Those were all standard type boards. They lacked some of the more advanced features of premium boards like Sega's scaler boards, and System 32, as well as Taito's F boards, and some of Namco's stuff. But the lower cost of such boards like the Neo Geo is what led to success and the Neo Geo was pushed further than most arcade boards over the years.

Unfortunately, it being in a private studio now three time zones away, I've not seen it anywhere since. No home release (like your box art implies), no digital release, *absolutely nothing!*

Yes. I agree. The only problem is that none of these games let you play an entire match with a single coin. In all other genres, albeit almost impossible, you can end the games with one coin. Sports games in general only gave you some time, meaning that ending the games would take a lot of money, no matter how good you were at them. It wasn't only a NEO GEO thing. And I will take NBA Jam as an example for it could be easily "measured". This game gave you a quarter per coin, so you needed 328 coins just to complete the regular season, perfect. In Argentina it was $82, by that time almost the same in american dollars.

the Neo Geo Pocket version may be one of the greatest hidden gems anywhere. It's a flawless handheld golf game. It's at least equally fun.

Great video. Been waiting for someone to talk about NEO GEO sports games. They were basically the last great sports games before licensing and micro transactions became a thing.

Love to see a new Baseball Stars. Super Mega Baseball is the closest thing we have to that now. But that company sold to EA recently so there goes that.

The Neo Geo is just an amazing platform in general with some truly amazing games. I REALLY want to get myself a NeoSD flash cart but they are so damn expensive! If I can ever find one for right around the $300 mark then I will absolutely jump on it, but I really can't justify paying more than that as that's already really expensive for what it is, and I feel the prices are what they are simply because they can be, not because the item costs a lot to produce because it doesn't, and I simply won't pay a King's ransom out of principle alone.

Street Hoop kills Nba Jam anytime. Neo Turf Masters is the only golf game that anyone can enjoy. Stakes Winners also the only horse racing anyone can enjoy. Super Sidekicks 2 was unrivaled in graphics and atmosphere on its time. Tecmo World Soccer 96 was the best Neogeo soccer on gameplay. Windjammers,unique and addictive.

I dig Neo Turf Masters myself but I think you forgot to name the title in your video. You also forgot to name Wind Jammers. I see you put the "box art" next to them but people who never played these may be wondering what they're called. Have you ever played Hot Shots Golf on PlayStation? It's also a great golf game.
