[@Charlie-Cat.]

Hello PCN, Pleased to meet you and thank you for sharing this xcellent upload of the top 25 titles for the Neo-Geo voted by the great members of the Neo Geo Forever community. I'm a member there and Riko and his team run a fantastic group over there. I love the Neo-Geo and I've been playing their library of games for 54 years. The first game that I ever played was Magician Lord in a local Dairy Queen restaurant in Paramus, New Jersey here in the United States. Since then, I've been hooked ever since. I posted your excellent upload on, The Official NEO-GEO Thread over on the forums for others to take notice and enjoy located on the site called AtariAge. Will be glad to see this from you for sure. Thank you for sharing this with us PCN. A pleasure meeting you and looking forward on future uploads onto your channel kind sir. 8^) Anthony..

[@PixelCherryNinja]

Thanks Anthony, Neo Geo is awesome. I wanted to do a top games list, but honestly it's too hard to compile a list, so I was so happy to find one that the community voted on. Thank you and the community, please keep up the awesome work you guys do.

[@Charlie-Cat.]

You're welcome PCN. A pleasure doing so. If you plan to share more Neo-Geo uploads onto your channel, I'll be glad to share them up on the Neo-Geo thread over on the forums for others to see on AtariAge.

Perfekt selection 👍 Nam75 i Miss It 😊

[@RetroCrisis]

Some absolute classics. I'm glad Windjammers made the list!!!

[@PixelCherryNinja]

Windjammers is a banger.

[@RetroTuna]

That's a great list of games you cant go wrong with NeoGeo. i was lucky enough to have one back in the day and yeah the console was way ahead of anything else at the time, you did get the full arcade experience tho you did pay for it but i loved it.

[@NinjaRunningWild]

My list : 1 - Magician Lord 2 - Nam 1975 3 - Neo Turf Masters 4 - Crossed Swords 5 - Metal Slug 6 - (all the rest)

[@PixelCherryNinja]

❤️

[@GeordiLaForgery]

These neo geo devs had super powers that only perhaps sega arcade devs could match? 90's arcade scene was incredible.

[@PixelCherryNinja]

Neo Geo games were like games on steroids.

[@DancesRainyStreets]

Nice to see Nightmare In The Dark made it. Kind of a short game and not too difficult, but still fun, especially in co-op. Also nice to see SamSho II rated high. Solid list overall, little surprises. The games missing for me are Samurai Shodown V Special, Fatal Fury 3, Sengoku 2, Crossed Swords II, Ninja Commando, Street Slam, Puzzle Bobble, Blue's Journey, Thrash Rally and Metal Slug 3.

[@PixelCherryNinja]

It's definitely a difficult list to compile. Metal Slug 3 is on the list. Sengoku games would definitely be on my list.

[@PongbyAtari]

Takes me back to when I owned my Neo Geo Gold system. I'm so happy to be able to play these games on my Analogue Pocket Via the dock with my 8bitdo Arcade Stick or my Neo Geo Pro Arcade Stick. We definitely have it made when it comes to reliving systems that have come and gone in our collections. Definitely some great games on this video.

[@PixelCherryNinja]

There are hardly any bad games on the system. Even the bad ones are okay.

[@GoTiKYT]

NeoGeo is pure magic 💥🕹💥

[@SNKev411]

Garou mark of the wolves is my favorite

[@PixelCherryNinja]

I love Garou too 😃

[@PixelCherryNinja]

@@SNKev411 don't ruin the surprise 🫢 😂

[@SNKev411]

@@PixelCherryNinja ok 😅 my bad lol

[@PixelCherryNinja]

@@SNKev411 all good bro 👍

[@classicboy97]

Garou and Last Blade 2 are the graphically most impressive games from SNK :) Speaking of which, Last Blade 2 shows up twice on this list, perhaps the first Last Blade was meant to be the one to show up on the list first?

[@PixelCherryNinja]

Oh damn, my mistake. I tried really hard not to make one. Both the Last Blades are on the list. LB1 is rated higher than LB2.

[@PixelCherryNinja]

Also, thanks for pointing out my mistake. I've added a pinned comment to address it.

[@PongbyAtari]

I use to have the U.S cart for MOTW CIB extremely rare I would love to have it now just for the pure value of it but again just happy I can play it and enjoy it in such fine fashion. Very beautiful game definitely one of the prettiest on the Neo.

[@PixelCherryNinja]

@@PongbyAtari it's a great fighter.

[@PongbyAtari]

@PixelCherryNinja I just finished up a Neo Session on my AP you can really pretty things up playing with the display settings I'm not crazy about CRT it really darken things to much on most cores I play with the different screen size and most look better to me if I put the sharpness at +2 Instead of +3 I'm really happy with how much they keep improving the AP experience. I would love to get a Mister in 2024 but if not I'm definitely having fun with the AP especially after adding the dock.

[@adamthegamer9138]

Idk if I'm the only one but "twinkle star sprites"(no11) made a lot of funny memories for me and it made me love arcade games (just like the kof97 [in pixel art] ❤)

[@PixelCherryNinja]

Nice to hear, we all have our special arcade games.

[@Nateanderthal]

Metal Slug 3 was the best, I have played and beaten all of the games aside from the PS2 one and 3 still remains the Pinnacle for the series.

[@PixelCherryNinja]

I'm most familiar with part 1 and 2.

[@Nateanderthal]

@@PixelCherryNinja you would appreciate Metal Slug X then, because it's essentially a remixed version of the second game with slightly less slow down lol

[@PixelCherryNinja]

@@Nateanderthal definitely, I've played that too.

[@andersonrodrigo63]

Great list! In my opinion, ss2 deserved a higher position!

[@PixelCherryNinja]

Gotcha.

[@stevesteve0521]

Samurai shodown 4 would be my number 1 personally it’s my favorite snk fighting game by far and I believe the most fun samsho game in the series. I personally like real bout special and real bout 2 more than mark of the wolves but I can see why people love that game and have it at number 1. As far as non snk fighting games are concerned metal slug 3 is as good as you can get from a run n gun game

[@PixelCherryNinja]

I play RB FF 2 with a friend when he comes around, and it's a lot of fun.

[@akirashamma5092]

Metal Slug should've been number 1, its by far the best Neo-Geo game of all time.

[@PixelCherryNinja]

@@akirashamma5092 be sure to get your vote in the next one.

[@arturoftgyrt4367]

Incredible List i only miss Viewpoint, Last Resort, Street Hoop, Sengoku 3 and Super Sidekicks 1.

[@PixelCherryNinja]

Make sure you cast your vote over on Neo Geo forever

[@Charlie-Cat.]

Also PCN, I visited your Twitter account and made a comment. Glad to see you there as well and now following on both of your social media accounts bro. 8^) Anthony..

[@iwillnotcomply007]

Love Neo Geo, the reason I put together a Mister FPGA.

[@PixelCherryNinja]

A great reason to own a MiSTer.

[@gabrielgray]

My top 10 arcade fighting games of all time in no particular order, they are all awesome Super Street Fighter II Turbo world Mortal Kombat II Garou Mark of the Wolves Samurai Shodown V Special King of Fighters 2002 Marvel Vs Capcom Capcom Vs SNK 2 Killer instinct Soul Caliber Tekken III

[@PixelCherryNinja]

Missing 3S?

[@chrismoon2961]

Mostly surprised Last Blade 2 is so low on the list; great list regardless!

[@PixelCherryNinja]

I get that,

[@TheDanielSpies_Arcades]

Nice video ❤

[@Deezo187]

I play a lot of theses on my switch with my arcade stick, arcade archives by hamster is great 👍 kof 98 is my favourite

[@PixelCherryNinja]

KoF 98 is awesome.

[@petemccann-ww9gx]

Nam 74 still playing it 30 years later.

[@HypnoGenX]

Must say I would much prefer having some voice over with impressions and opinions. But still made notes for my backlog.

[@PixelCherryNinja]

Thanks for the feedback, it's unusual for me not to talk nonstop in my vids lol.

[@PlayGameSteve]

I have only played a NG CDZ, my favourite game is Joy Joy Kid, though i havent played many NG games (yet)

[@PixelCherryNinja]

Get yourself some NEO-GEO on. We have a lot of good ways of playing now.

[@fuzzbang]

Is there a text listing of the games anywhere ?

[@PixelCherryNinja]

Check the link in the description.

[@webbieice]

I remember looking in the back of gamepro and seeing neo geo games for like 150, 200 dollars and thinking they must be amazing haha

[@PixelCherryNinja]

Prices were very expensive 🫰, I remember. That's why most people had SNES and Mega Drive's.

[@norbosneogeo558]

Neo Geo 4 ever!

[@playbooktv5262]

Viewpoint, Baseballstars I, Art of Fighting?

[@laurentbaube9266]

Les possédant les deux j'aurais remplacé le super baseball 2020 par baseball stars 2

[@phillai]

For me it has to be KOF '98 at number 1!! 🥰

[@PixelCherryNinja]

That's my favourite KoF game too 👍

[@Doktati]

Wow, so few good games.

[@PixelCherryNinja]

It's a difficult list to put together, for me to pick, it'd be impossible. I was glad to go with a community voted list. Remember, everyone's taste is different.

[@superhadouken]

Really controversial top, specially the fighting games haha. For example there is samurai shodow IV (considered one of the worst) and not samsho 2 or 5 on top

[@PixelCherryNinja]

2 is definitely my favourite. This list is a tally of votes, but I get ya.

[@IamMonvi]

I get that it's the game that started the series, but I'm shocked to see the original Metal Slug, or any Metal Slug for that matter, get rated higher than number 3

[@chibisf4]

SVC belongs in the top 25 worst Games.

[@PixelCherryNinja]

Haha, I was surprised to see it there, but it's definitely a guilty pleasure of mine 😃

[@anthonywilson6611]

I'm surprised SVC Chaos even got on the list, let alone how high it got on said list. That game is just God awful.

[@PixelCherryNinja]

I guess a lot of people that voted liked it 😄

[@anthonywilson6611]

@PixelCherryNinja it's surprising. There's a Facebook page about Neo Geo and half the people in it are creaming their jeans about the SVC Chaos port to PS4. Capcom got the upper hand in that deal 100% and showed the world who made better fighting games. I'd honestly take Breakers or even World Heroes Over SVC Chaos, it's that bad. But I'm glad others enjoy it! Was just, a bit of a shock to see it. That's all.

[@PixelCherryNinja]

@@anthonywilson6611 it's definitely not a great game, but is a guilty pleasure I like playing against the CPU.

[@anthonywilson6611]

@PixelCherryNinja I tried so so hard to like it. And it's really expensive too. So it's hard to justify the expensive. I find the graphics bland and the music mediocre. Of course st this point in time SNK game HEMMORAGING money. And obviously bigger budgets went to other priorities. Perhaps I'm being to harsh. Matrimelee is another really hard game and I'm head over heels for it. So I'm not sure what my deal is.

[@PixelCherryNinja]

@@anthonywilson6611 there's nothing wrong with your assessment. When the game came out, I was just as critical. Trying it again in my mid 40s, I developed a liking of the game, but only against the CPU for a bit of fun. I'd never play this against another human.

[@vasilas432]

NeoGeoforLife has a great community! The video is well done
