SS Metal Slug is better than Neo CD because of loading time (slightly faster)
As to fighting game........nah.......get AES version.

The real bout series on the Saturn are honestly probably the best Neo ports. And I would rather play them on the Saturn simply because the load times are horrible on the Neo CD and CDZ.
And by the way the Saturn version of Waku Waku 7 is great!! Definately pick it up. The only difference I noticed between it and the Neo version was in the backgrounds. When you back away from your opponent the game scrolls out like Sam Sho and some of the other Neo games. When this happens on the Saturn ver. the backgounds get a little pixalated. Other then that it's a great port.

An alternative point of view. A mate of mine bought WW7 for his Saturn after playing my AES version. I was interested in seeing the conversion given that Capcom's Saturn beat-em-up conversions are pretty much faultless, so I borrowed it from him.
Unfortunately I was confronted by appalling load times, blocky backgrounds and (what I *really* don't get) immense amounts of slowdown. I could get over the loading times and the backgrounds, but slowdown? It makes the game unplayable at times. I don't think it ever goes above 50% of full speed while you're fighting Fernandez/Fernandeath (who also seems to scale very oddly when he's in his normal standing pose).
The NGPC could do better than that.
Nice CD audio though.

The Neo CD ports are pretty much exact copies of the MVS games (thats why they take forever to load), except for the insane loading. Saturn version have faster loading, but much worse sound, and some frames missing.

If I remember correctly, Slug really wasnt anything different. Pretty much sounded the same. Waku7 did have arranged music, which is actually pretty nice.
My Fighters History Dynamite has a language change option, TSS doesnt, Magical Drop 3 doesnt... hmmm... I cant remember if Waku does or not.
