The Neo Geo Mini Has a List of Games

Ah, Neo Geo. I never had a home console, but I remember a lot of Neo Geo arcade games fondly. This minified version looks to reclaim that nostalgia, minus the smell of grease and cigarette smoke that usually accompanied playing these games in restaurants and bars.

This one stands out from the others by having a small LCD screen built in, but you can still hook it up to your TV and play with a replica of the Neo Geo home console's controller (sold separately)

The list of games for the Neo Geo Mini just dropped. 40 in total:

The King of Fighters ‘95

The King of Fighters ‘97

The King of Fighters ‘98

The King of Fighters 2000

The King of Fighters 2002

Samurai Shodown II

Is this going to go the way of the Neo Geo X?

Travis Admin Post Author wrote on 06/11/2018 at 03:05pm

I had to look up the Neo Geo X. I had never even heard of it. So I really hope it doesn’t? The X sounds like a comedy of errors, nothing went right for that device.

I have the X.

How is it?

Will_Ball Game Mod Super Member wrote on 06/11/2018 at 06:02pm

I haven't put much time into it. I enjoyed it last time I played with it.

I like this collection of games and if it reviews well i'll pick it up. In the video the controller looked a bit cramped which isn't a great way to play fighting games or Metal Slug.

E3 Day 1 - Electronics Arts Roundup

EA was the first big game entity to present at this years E3 and as such I have a few news bits I thought were interesting about it. If you have more you want to share that I didn't cover, please drop it in the comments.

BioWare's New Anthem

Anthem looks to be the big game EA is betting quite a bit on the success of and it launches next February. If you look at the gameplay you can see why as it looks like Halo/Destiny decided it needed more mech suits. The game also looks incredibly pretty yet I have an odd feeling like we've seen the same game play now for the last two years of E3. It keeps looking better, I just wonder how many more environments or scenarios the game... Read All

EA Releasing New Command & Conquer Game On Mobile

I'm not sure I wanted this but i'm cautiously optimistic about the new Command & Conquer game EA dropped the details of on the E3 stage today. It looks to be inspired by the mobile clash games but with a Command & Conquer spin. It feels like a mini version of Command & Conquer and i'm not sure how good that will feel to play? Since it's a mobile game it appears to be free to play although I don't remember EA mentioning the price model for it.

It's in early beta on Android now and should be coming out later this year but EA didn't specify when. When this drops on your device is Command & Conquer Rivals something you'll try?

What Sequels Are Better Than The Original?

Metal Jesus has a new video where he asks his friends what game sequels are better than the originals. They have a lot of great answers and it got me thinking a bit about what I would pick? I think a few games stand out to me but Mega Man 2 is one of the games that comes to mind as being better than the original. I also think WarCraft III was a better game than the first two WarCraft's even though WarCraft II was really good.

What games or movies do you think are better than the original?

What Do You Want From A Star Wars Movie?

I shared this video in a comment thread recently but it's so good I wanted to share it properly in a post. It's a recent video by Pattrick Willems where he dives in to what people want out of a Star Wars movie and takes a look at The Last Jedi. It's a really interesting breakdown and I think his base premise for why The Last Jedi was divisive with some fans is spot on.

NES Complex Link to the Past Retrospective

YouTube personality NESComplex has a Link the Past Retrospective that I wanted to share because.... well firstly because Link to the Past is one of the best games of all time and also because I seemingly can't get enough of these kinds of videos. Want to take a peep back at one of the Zelda series finest? Then clicking play on the video above is for you.

Watch This Epic Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Documentary!

The new Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection is out and Capcom has an all new three part documentary to celebrate it. It covers the series starting with the original Street Fighter all the way through to the Capcom Cup tournament in 2017.

Giving the NES Super Powers!

If you are into hacking old tech or just want to see the NES do things you never knew it could, check this video out. It has a bit of a strange setup. To quote the video description, "The video begins in a strange way and gets stranger, but then, ideally, you understand why."

Yeah the intro is a little long and strange before the payoff, but it's impressive what he gets out of an unmodified NES. I won't spoil the fun for you in case you want to follow along with the joke he presents.

AdamPFarnsworth wrote on 06/01/2018 at 06:54pm

Man, that was really, really cool. I didn't think of it much like a "joke" (he goes into *why* it's a joke at the beginning, but that still didn't make it "funny" for me. Very, very cool though), but was super interesting. I recommend watching the whole thing. Thanks for sharing this, Travis!

My SNES looks better.

AdamPFarnsworth wrote on 06/02/2018 at 12:04am

Lol ;)

Travis Admin Post Author wrote on 06/02/2018 at 04:17am

Yeah this definitely isn't a thing you do with the intention of using it to play SNES games. Just a cool project to see what you can do. I was surprised to see that it was even possible.

And I agree Adam, I didn't feel like it was a joke exactly. At least, I didn't get it if it was.

jdodson Admin wrote on 06/08/2018 at 03:39am

I saw this video make the rounds online and I almost turned it off after starting to watch it until I realized what it was. The guy is pretty smart and it's a really cool project. Nintendo enhanced the SNES power by adding the Super FX chip and this is essentially the same kind of idea just MUCH more advanced.

Nintendo Announces Another Pokemon Game That's Out Now On Switch! Welcome Pokemon Quest!

Apparently Nintendo just dropped the all new Pokemon Quest game out on the Switch that's available right now that will also be coming out on iOS and Android later in the year. Pokemon Quest looks like a simple RPG where you collect Pokemon, send them out to level up and bring them home while you cook soup to attract and capture new Pokemon. It's a fun concept but I haven't loved all of Nintendo's free to play mobile games so hopefully this one sticks.

If you have a Switch download the game and let me know how it plays!

The Switch Gets Two New Pokemon Games + New Pokeball Controller!

Game Freak, the developers of Pokemon dropped a 40 minute conference pre E3 where they talked about two new Pokemon games coming to the Nintendo Switch this year called Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee! I encourage you to watch the full conference reveal above but some relevant clips from the Let's Go site to help explain things:

"Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee! bring the experience of a classic Pokémon RPG to Nintendo Switch with gameplay that is easily approachable for newcomers to the series, but is also deep enough to keep veteran Trainers on their toes.

The games also have two-player simultaneous play, so you can... Read All
