Here are the 20 games included with the Neo Geo Arcade Stick Pro (Fighting Stick shaped like a Neo Geo controller that also works as a mini console).
Thoughts?

Here's what the stick looks like

Same, I would remove World Heroes 2 and Jet, because Perfect is perfect and put Real Bout Special and Art of Fighting 2. Also would choose KOF '96 instead of '99.

[Anonymous No.5899404]

Stupid question, but there's no online component to this? Only couch co-op by pairing wireless controllers?

[Anonymous No.5899405]

>>5899384
Is storage space an issue? Why wouldn't they go ahead and just put the complete franchises in there so it feels like a proper collection?

[Anonymous No.5899406]

>>5899404
The controllers are wired and were released originally for the Neo Geo Mini, but yes only couch co-op.
It's clearly meant as a competitor to the Capcom Home Arcade (what with the distinct shape and all)

The omission of the original Samurai Shodown seems weird to me.

Gonna wait for feedback on how the stick performs (which is probably crappy but w/e)

[Anonymous No.5899417]

>>5899413
If they're seeling a fighting stick that doubles as a mini console, it's gonna need to be super durable

[Anonymous No.5899419]

>>5899407
lots of weird omissions desu, have to put it down to the rather niggardly decision of only having 20 games on the damn thing.
at least those control pads look rad
clicky clicky micro switches

[Anonymous No.5899421]

>>5899419
Like all these other cash grabs, I would assume it'll be hackable in short order.

[Anonymous No.5899431]

>>5899421
yeah most probably
now why the fuck does it have 8 face buttons though?
does it have an ancillary function as a stand alone fightstick or will that be included into the future hack?
seems like a weird design choice

[Anonymous No.5899439]

>>5899431
coin in and start???? no idea.

[Anonymous No.5899465]

no metal slug?

[Anonymous No.5899491]

>>5899439
nah start & select are on the east side according to the diagram
>>5899393
why put 8 face buttons if neo geo IS 4 buttons, seems bizarre and an unnecessarily added expense tbqh

[Anonymous No.5899502]

>>5899491
>>5899431
>why put 8 face buttons if neo geo IS 4 buttons
for max compatibility as a standalone fight stick

New SNK is completely clueless. How can they omit samurai shodown 1? The game that propeled the neo geo out of the gutter and into the spotlight.

[Anonymous No.5899525]

>>5899523
>How can they omit samurai shodown 1?
Because they're already selling 5 Special digitally

[Anonymous No.5899530]

>>5899502
That's not it's purpose.

[Anonymous No.5899531]

>>5899530
It's half it's purpose

[Anonymous No.5899532]

>>5899523
Not a big omission IMO, Samurai Shodown 2 is just like 1, but better. The other ones are very different.

[Anonymous No.5899534]

>>5899530
8 is better than 4 stop complaining

[Anonymous No.5899540]

>>5899502
yes, is that functionality something straight out the box?
don't ask me to jewgle it m8, genuinely curious
>>5899530
yeah this anon gets it
>>5899534
8 is heaps extra manufacturing costs though, wtf are they throwing money away with all the extra & uneccessary componentry?

[Anonymous No.5899541]

>>5899540

yes

ok cool banana's

It's gonna be a meagerly built novelty like the mini arcade, and not much else
If you think otherwise you're setting yourself up to be disappointed

SS2 while being a great game lacks the charm and charisma of the first one. Its like every dumb guys fave samurai game. Again great game, but slightly overrated by the empty, soulless creatures out there. Chill, its ok too be stupid :D Look at the happy faces i am tying for you :D :D :D

>>5899575
samsho & samsho 2 are weird beasts considering their 6+ button control scheme's
>samsho 2 lacking charisma

If you werent around in 1993 you dont fucking get how bold ss was. As for your reading comprehension, there are online lessons for that

This place my family used to camp in the early 90's had an awesome arcade, they had SF2CE, MK2, Time Killers, and a Neo-Geo cab that at various times had Fatal Fury and Samurai Shodown, and a bunch of other quality stuff in it. Tons of other games too, but when Samurai Shodown came out, that's the one that everyone crowded around. I used to sit an watch the attract mode on it when I'd run out of money, shit was legit.

That you should have checked the catalog before opening another poor excuse of a thread:

yeah nah, always felt samsho was overshadowed by fatal fury special and even art of fighting with its gimmick graphics in terms of popularity/impact tbqh, ss2 was the pick of the litter the following year however.

So I can plug another controller into the... Console/controller I guess this fucking thing is? Or will I have to buy two plug n play systems? And will they only support SNK brand controllers?

Yes

I think so

Kinda weird that they ignored almost all of the first games. No Fatal Fury 1, no KoF 94, no WH1, no SS1. If not going for a proper full franchise collection set, I'd think they'd at least do "first game + most popular/best game + most recent game" (in cases where those things don't overlap) for each included series. Sure, maybe Fatal Fury 1 can't compete as a fighting game when compared to later games in the series, but for a lot of people who would buy this as an intro into NeoGeo gaming, I'd think a lot would like to see where it all started.
