/vr/ - Retro Games

It was a fucking MVS redesigned as a home console.

That's why the price is so high.

About the games,I don't know,I never had one.

Where I live having a Neo Geo was synonym of being fucking god.

>>538537
Its a fucking home arcade machine. The sticks are clicky. Those are the main reasons for the high prices.

All games are fighters and Metal Slug.

you clearly never heard of Garou Mark of the motherfucking wolves

The thing cost about 90 billion dollars (adjusted for inflation) back in its day, and it was never a huge commercial hit. So that's why the things are expensive now, plus I understand they're just fighting games. I've never had the desire to own one. But if you're into fighters and arcade games, this is your machine

It was 2D that the fucking SATURN could barely handle... in 1990. It was arcade hardware in a console shell in a way that one-ups whatever Sega was trying to do, before they actually did it.

The majority of games were good, or at least pretty fun to play. The worst Neo Geo game I can think of is Ghost Pilots.

>All games are fighters and Metal Slug
>implying this God tier console only has 2 types of games

pls if you don't know shit about what you are talking about shut the fuck up retard

What means "level 4"?

I saw that many times in arcade games and I never knew what it means.

Arcade HW stuffed in home console. Great controllers. Most games are of the classic arcade variety (fighters, shooters, platformers, racing, sports) and for all matters practical, it's one of those consoles that only people with friends will enjoy, because most games are meant to be played against/with people.
Console itself isn't all that expensive, you can get it for like $200, but most games range from $40 to $400. Luckily most of the good games are on the cheaper side of the spectrum.

>>538637
Difficulty usually.

>>538642
The console is not expensive...NOW.

The console was made for hotels and shit like that, I don't think many people could afford to buy one for personal use back then

I had one when I was a kid.
Then my father lost his job and we had to sell the console and the house.

>>538629
Neo Geo games usually have 5 difficulty levels ranging from Very Easy to MVS. MVS (level 5) is basically "get a whole lot of coins, because you will spend more time at continue screen than in game".

>>538652
Which is a good reason to get one NOW.

The base console might not be expensive anymore, but the games are probably x2 whatever they were before. The whole collection thing is out of control there.

>>538705
Rare games are expensive as hell, but classics like SamSho, Magician Lord and most KoF are pretty cheap. Even Metal Slug games converted from MVS to AES carts are cheap-ish (around 200 bucks compared to thousands that original will cost). And MVS converters aren't expensive either, although some MVS games are now somewhat expensive compared to JP AES carts. So unless you are hell-bent on having originals complete in box and preferably mint, then you can build really nice starter Neo Geo collection for like 500 bucks. Also go buy Riding Heroes, it's racing RPG. RACING RPG!

bump.

As a fighting game fan I love this console but It has good non fighting games too. I have been collecting neo geo since 2003 but I havent bought a game in the last few years

I want to buy one of these.

Mostly for the fighting games and MS.

But I still can't decide between the original neo geo or the neo geo X (the handheld)

>>539105
NGX is just emulator console with clicky thumbstick. If you can find used one for $100 or less then go ahead, but it's only usable as handheld, TV out is outright broken.

>>539105
Neo-Geo X is a piece of shit, get the original.

It's the ps3 of it's day

Way too fucking expensive, and it's games are not worth it.

>>538629
Nice basketball fighter there, retard.

I want one of those things.

I should buy it /vr/?

>>540895
But the PS3 now has games, by the bucketfuls. Which is a topic for another board.

>>538705
> The whole collection thing is out of control there.
You don't even know

>>541450
Yeah, but like most of the playstation consoles(3/5 is most) they're just ports of games on better systems, like xbox and PC.

>>538537
First round or two of titles were glorified SNES games. Then fighters happened and the quality picked up.

>>538629
Street Hoop / Street Slam / Dunk Dream, why all the names? Fortunately the game was fun as hell.

>>538637
Level 4 was more or less the equivalent of "normal" difficulty with Neo Geo games.

>>541479
Aside from all the multiplat AAA crap, the PS3 has a pretty good library of exclusives now, provided you like JRPGs to begin with, same for the PSP. The Vita's a beautiful disaster, though.

>>538563
>>538592
the arcade at home theory is bullshit, the dreamcast is an exact consolized version of the Naomi, and it was a normal price for the console.

also the consoles are all 100+, too much for a retro game console

>>538629

God I love the music in that game

>what is optical media, Alex

>>541504
>optical media
still doesn't explain why the Neo Geo CD is also 200 dollars

>>541495
It's all well and good that you're eager to demonstrate your clear lack of understanding of arcade hardware, but that's completely and totally wrong.

The hardware of the Neo Geo console itself was impressive for its time, and each and every game cartridge consisted of more than just memory chips containing game data like you'd find in other consoles.

That's part of the reason the Dreamcast is the pinnacle of video games, though, it represented the exact moment that home consoles reasonably caught up to the arcades with standard hardware, while arcade games were still at their peak.

Did it have any exclusives or just arcade ports?

>>538768
If I want a racing RPG, I'll just play Need for Speed Carbon again...

>>541525
Ok then, if it was impressive for its time, why is it the same cost as launch date? /vr/ told me to get a MVS console because they're "cheaper" and its 700 dollars, same cost at launch

interested in selling my AES system, arcade stick, 12 boxed titles most of em JP , 2 loose carts Samurai Spirits 2+something else .versions

what would a fair sell $ be?

>>541514
NeoGeo
>system 500, games 200
NeoGeoCD
>system 500, games 60

same hardware = same hardware price, but the cost of the games went down at the expense of load times..

>>541560
I'm trying to figure out what the logic of this argument is, and I'm failing miserably.

>>539168
So Neo-Geo X's potential as a handheld emulation monster is not there?

>>541623
Nope. It's junk. Garbage device with garbage emulation, garbage HDMI support, garbage everything, really. To make things worse, the only website that had people working on hacking it to make it not shit threw a piracy hissy fit and basically shitcanned all development.

Fucking hypocrites.

>>541574
>powerful baseball game
about three fiddy

Yeah, the Neo Geo CD's load times are fucking atrocious. Playing Fatal Fury 3 makes you wait anywhere from 30 seconds to a minute between matches.

>>541574
I'll give you $5 for everything if you paying shipping

>>541495
>comparing 10cent optical media to expensive to produce ROM chips
dumb kids

Also Naomi hardware was not the truly same. Planet Harriers used dual processors and all Naomi hardware featured more RAM than Dreamcast had.

>>538537
Unlike home systems that promised console quality, they were basically selling arcade machines.

>>541593
I think the logic of his argument was "I don't have the money."

>>541531
What you got on the home system was just about exactly what was in the arcade.

Is that Duo Maxwell from motherfucking gundam wing?f

Just finished playing Crossed Swords. It's pretty fun but I must admit I save scummed (it lets you save all your stats once you run out of continues). It's a shame they didn't make more games in this style (except for Super Spy and CS2 on CD).

>>541479

...Except that it has many more times the exclusives compared to the 360. The 360 is the one floundering in ports. It's basically port city plus: Halo, Gears of War, Fable. Only one of those franchises are worth a damn.

>>541497

The Vita has more games than people seem to perceive. I own about eight retail titles for it, which puts it just under my 3DS collection. I play the Vita more, though, as the games are more console-like and I don't have to put up with Nintendo's hurrrdurrrr single analog stick bullshit.

Saged for not-retro content.

Anyway, the AES is so expensive because it's a tiny MVS. What did you expect? IT had the best graphics of it's day, even the PC could suck it's nuts. Not many people owned one, so now it's more rare than the SNES or Genesis. On top of that, we're in the middle of a retro game bubble where everything has had it's price inflated a hundred times over. Wait two or three years and things will normalize.

>>541623

Just get a JXD S7000 or whatever that thing is called. Basically the same thing but a million times better... except missing the sweet stick.

>>547305
The vita library is mostly just shitty ports of games on better systems(EDF, Rayman origins, ridge racer,Ninja gaiden ,Blazblu, if you think shitty super anime bros brawl is good.) the odd enhanced port(Persona 4) and one or two decent, but not good enough to buy a vita for, first party games(gravity rush, wipeout) and finally, we have shit(Uncharted:Gimmick edition, Disgaea 3, etc.)
