It's pretty cool for a game that cost $300 a piece.... <img src="graemlins/tickled.gif" border="0" alt="[Tickled]" />

That's amazing really,

over 6,000 sold. who would have thought. makes you wonder if they will start meking home systems again as well. With number like that I would think we will be looking for more NGH releases comming soon.

This is great news IMO, because I think it increases the chances we will see future home cart releases (I pray eveyr night for a Rage of the dragons home cart)

Are you fucking nuts? Tons of DC games made it in the top 5, let alone the top 20. Even the small time DC releases like Milky Season and the shit by NEC made it into the top 25.

KOF is the neo's flagship most popular game, 6k the first week, ok, 2nd week it drops off the charts, yay world domination is at hand!

If Japan hates the Dreamcast like you say, then they must hate the Neo X100, cause thats the first neo release ive seen in some odd 5 years even make a blip on the radar.

Think before you say something so foolish.

lmao the first neo cart in like 5 years makes it in the count down, and all the sudden dreamcast sucks? Man get a grip fanboy.

let's try not to think as a collector all the time. :p There's more value to a game than the rarity. If you melted the cart down to the priciple elements it might be worth $0.87, you know.

been meaning to ask you for a while now


you always seem kinda bitter,
specially when saturn or dc are involved and people somehow say the neo is superior

I just don't like Neo Fanboys who wanna try and tear down other BETTER systems. I like the Neo, I own a fucking MVS, Hyper, Pocket. If I hated the Neo, I wouldn't play it, but it ain't the greatest system in the world, theres more average to bad neo games than there are kickass to awesome neo games.

The Samurai and Real Bout series are two of my favorite fighters EVER, but theres a lot of lame shit, besides MOTWs, all the 500+ neo carts are pretty shit, stuff like TSS, Kizuna (it's OK, but not all that), Ninja Masters is shit, metal slug is awesome, but not worth a grand, sorry, and the chicken dinner of them all, some fucking mahjong game people pay a grand+ for? lmao, what are they smoking?

I like the Neo, but I hate dumbass comments like "Wow the Japanese must hate the Dreamcast cause a Neo game sold 6k". I wonder why SNK released all their latest ports on DC only? Why is playmore re-releasing 2 games AND kof 2k? Yea their real dumb, cause the japanese all hate DC, so they aint gonna buy any.

And fran don't come down on me, cause I remember when you were saying SNK is dead, and no more games should come out, then i saw you jacking your dick in that rage of the dragons thread saying "Yippee the future looks bright". Sorry but it takes a little more than KOF Re-Hash 2002 and a MOTWs clone to get my dick hard.

I have not played 2K1 yet, but let me tell you, that artwork is a fucking disgrace to everything SNK, snk is fucking rolling in his grave right now, Mai looks like a fucking crack whore, and wtf is up with those big ass power bars and life bars? Taking up like 30% of the screen, and the ugly bright colors they used for them? Sorry, thats not the KOF I remember, R.I.fucking.P

i see...

what can i say,
i own a white saturn and a few games,15 or so
(mainly capcom ports and shooters )

love it

dont want to say the neo is better,or worse

not interested in that
stopped making that kind of remarks when i was about 19...or 8

cant remember

they're just different consoles with different games,but they're both good for people into 2d games

someday,dont know when

i will buy slug 1,
and someday i will buy maruko chan
( and yes,its a QUIZ game,not a mahjong game )

i dont feel dumb,not a bit

some people spend 300 bucks for radiant silvergun,
dont think they're dumb

dont feel this urge to call them dumb or dicks

i must be getting old,and SOFT eh?


i said them things about snk and the neo future,
and blah blah blah

i was joking in that post,
i wrote APPARENTLY and added a fuckin gremlin

honesty is such a lonely word....


i know you're happy with your dc port of MOTW,
i know you paid 30 for it

i paid about 300 for MOTW,
i would never want the dc port

i'm probably a dick


and i'm still a little confused

KOF 2000 should have been the final KOF game, RIP, the series had a good run, and didn't lose any respect.

KOF 2001, 2002, 2003, who fucking knows how bad their gonna ruin this series...

For me 2000 was the last real KOF game, I mean if Capcom went bankrupt, and some other company took the Street Fighter series, you think the capcom fans would be havin that? Hell no, at least not me.

I may get MOTWs on MVS "someday", but I really see no reason to now, cause the DC version plays the same, I use real arcade sticks, and my cab to play the DC version on (So I dont have any lame excuses that the DC pad sucks for fighters), so why do I want the mvs version? Even though its pretty cheap, why get it? If I have the money to burn someday yea I will.

But I'm not the type to jack off over a my game cause it has a US insert, I'm the type who "gasp" actually plays my games, and doesn't look at them thru a glass case. A

nd yes I am a collector too, if you dont like what ive said fuck you fran! you know where to get the fuck off.... <img src="graemlins/drool.gif" border="0" alt="[Drool]" /> j/k

thats partially true,
i wont deny it

was saying something like that right today to NEOGML


the kof i used to love is gone,
but the change started in 99 anyway

2000 was utter shit

2001 is a lot better than 2000

so at least thats a positive change of direction

if rage of the dragons or snk vs capcom or the new power instinct will be good

yeah,great


if not,fuck em,they really lost it then


i love my neo geo,
i love snk

i think the neo is my fave console,


and i hate it when people call me dumb or something

pheraps im just too controversial today

and i need to sleep?

LMAO, both those games are in like their 6th week on the chart....

That's like comparing when sega japan dropped the dc price to 99 dollars in yen, it sold more than PS2 and any other system that week, pretty moot point.


and their both sold over 150k each, kof2k1 won't break 10k, everyone that owns a neo and was gonna get it, got it, thats why its even on the countdown, cause neo fans were hungry for a game.

This is cool, kof2001 is getting lots of attention. It gets a review on gamespot and sells well in its first week in japan. I know it isn't much compared to the exposure that high profile games for other consoles get but i can't think of many other systems that lived this long and are still getting attention like that.

My next wish is that they make a playstation 2 version. I don't like the psx2 too much but it could help playmore / brezza / eolith to make more money, that would mean more money to put into kof2002 development (or in other games!)

Oh well, things are looking very good this year for the neo, this makes me even more happy to get one (like in a week or two, finally i'll have my mvs).

yay
