What neo-geo game do you feel has wasted the most amount of megs?

I mean for example,look how many megs kof2000 has,yet the animation is bad and the backgrounds are not jaw dropping

I think they must have wasted over 200 mega on the strikers alone

If only there was a cheat to use them all as they are well detailed,it would be an awesome game.

Anyone agree with me,or are there other games you feel have been memory wasted?

They could do another game only with the another strikers.
There are many cool characters that you can only use as strikers, that's trully a waste. <IMG SRC="smilies/shame.gif" border="0">

the reason MOTW had such great animation + backgrounds and same meggage as KOF2K is because they had about 1/3 of the characters that KOF2K did and no strikers.

with all of that extra ROM, they made the jaw dropping animation you see today.

KOF2K1 looks like they fixed all of these errors, from the movies, everything looks so smooth.

Great animation does not a good fighting game make.

Fuck, sure, graphics are cool, but I still play and love games with shit animation. Its all in the GP.

Yes, but bad animation can lead to bad gameplay. Don't misinterpret that statement... I mean, the graphics in River City Ransom for the NES weren't spectacular, but it was animated like nobody's mother. So smooth!

Lets start referring to Megs as Meggage.

Fight Fever. Those 98 megs should've been used for something else (like maybe a puzzle game featuring cute anime characters).

LOL,

I think you coined a cool new phrase for a bad Neo game:

A waste of Megs: noun, a game so bad its worthless, particularly a bad Neo Geo games since one bad Neo Geo games covers the same space as a dozen bad Genesis games.
See Legend of Success Joe.

Diggerman US JK. NGF states a higher meg than JK (forget what #), JK states 11 megs, but my opinion is that it is a .11 meg game.
