I hate hate hate pretty much any kind of sports games but I've really gotten in to several NG sports titles lately. Neo Turf Masters is one of my favorite games now. I never played any of the sports games before I got my NGX.

Heheheh, I felt the same way. I NEVER buy sports games. Really detest them, actually. At least, I did, until I played NeoGeo's version of sports. Seriously, every sports title I've played for the NeoGeo has been a BLAST! Which is why I was so excited that Super Sidekicks and Baseball Stars 2 were among the packed in games! I never played League Bowling before picking up the NGX, but Baseball Stars 2 and Super Sidekicks 3 on the SNK Arcade collection Vol. 1 for the Wii were what got me into them, and wanting to check out more! And of course, subsequently needing to acquire them for my other Neo systems.

I find the sports games to be best played with someone else. Playing against the computer gets old after awhile.

£19.99 per pack in the UK.

I wonder if these game releases will be delayed? According to Gamestop, the handheld-only version of the X is now delayed until late August.

I too am interested to see what the packaging looks like, In anticipation of it being purely a blister pack i made this:

For a sec there I thought that was a new image, nice

 

[YANDMAN]

Thanks man, i would obviously recreate this format for all volumes, it fits into a DS case and that obviously has an sd card area inside, If the packaging is rubbish i might start producing these if people were interested.

So, 3 games on a card for $25? Seems a bit steep @ $8.25 per game for outdated game ROMs on an SD card. I'd have been more inclined to jump on it if they did $20 or less; preferably $10-$15 for 3 games considering these carry little overhead costs. And ideally, it would have been nicer to get them digitally directly to the device rather than on cards.

NEOGEO X Classics: Volume I will blasts onto North American retail shelves in late April 2013, and will dazzle action fans with shoot 'em up classics METAL SLUG, SENGOKU, and TOP HUNTER, all on one NEOGEO X Game Card!

Full listing of titles for NEOGEO X Classics: Volume I-V:
• ART OF FIGHTING 3

In addition to these amazing classic NEOGEO AES games, Tommo will be including the "ROCKET" High-speed Data Transfer and Charging Travel Cable, at no additional cost, with each copy of NEOGEO X Classics: Volumes I-V.

As part of Tommo's continued support and development of the NEOGEO X and having, most importantly, listened to customer feedback, Tommo will also be including NEOGEO X System Update 1.0 with NEOGEO X Classics: Volume I. More details on the NEOGEO X System Update 1.0 will be released in the weeks to come. And because the fans asked for it, a NEOGEO X Travel Case is also in development, and is scheduled for release in April 2013.

I hope along with the picture fixes the firmware also allows for the volume to be louder as played the handheld today for the first time since january and the sound is not loud at all and had to plug the headphones in to enjoy it.

Thanks man, i would obviously recreate this format for all volumes, it fits into a DS case and that obviously has an sd card area inside, If the packaging is rubbish i might start producing these if people were interested.

its a good backup plan.

 

[HemlockDrew]

Is the game on the NGX Art of Fighting, or Art of Fighting 2?

 

[Lee Gray]

Art of fighting

I've read and saw people having that problem in reviews, I kinda wonder if I got an inconsistent, or mutant version. When using the handheld I keep my volume at level 3, it's as loud as any other handheld I have (My NGX at volume level 3 is roughly the same as my 3DS at maximum volume). Turned up to the max, it'll fill my living room with noise. Now with headphones plugged in, or plugged into my dock, I have to jack the volume to enjoy.

Really wish we could get one of the Aero fighter games.

Looks great!

 

[Danthor]

It is a possibility, if this first batch of collections does well enough! I mean, fan demand got Mark of the Wolves in there, so why not? Honestly, I'm super stoked for Blazing Star!

Thanks.

I'm not going to quibble over $5. $5 is what it takes to buy a meal at Taco Bell. Its nothing.

And I'm *extremely* glad they are shipping on cards. This way my Neo Geo X can fall to pieces (a distinct possibility) and I won't have to wonder about how to transfer the software to the next one. "Games on the Cloud" is a recipe for getting screwed. Every time I put a 20 year old cart or CD in a game system lately I think about how this won't be possible with the stuff being released in 5 years. I'd like to hang on to this as long as possible.

 

[YANDMAN]

I got most of those games already but will need volume 1 for the firmware and also the kof96 set even though im not a fan of blazing star or kizuna but no longer own 96.

I use to like save reign, love the kings speech at the end and the fact parts of background break plus the roller coaster knock down, but it does get a bit borig.

You like savage reign but not kizuna, when savage reign is the game before kizuna??

I think they both kick ass

 

[YANDMAN]

Thanks man, Appreciated

 

[ZackMorris]

Seriously can't wait for World Heroes 2 Jet...I have it on my PS2 Anthology collection. I have to sa WH2 Jet is my favorite iteration of the game.

Your ninja masters design was top notch, but you have really out done yourself this time sir, excellent job!

I'd laugh if Tommo actually used it and didn't give him credit.

 

[cdamm]

hahaha.


in other news i just put the whole library on one sd card. i may even make a case for it.

 

[sorrowdragon]

It should be obvious that the Classic Collections will come in a packaging like the Ninja Masters Card. except in this cause it will just a simple printed cardboard box of sorts with a plastic tray inside holding the usb cord and SD card (which contains both the games and system update together).

Then future releases in the following months, will each come with another accessory (i.e. travel case or whatever) and especially a new System Firmware patch as an incentive to get you to spend $25 on 3 roms.

I wouldn't be surprised if they were cruel enough, for example if collection 1 contained patch 1.0, II v1.1, III v1.2, IV v1.3, and V v1.4, for those who skipped on the collection II, got collection III or whatever, and tried to use the latest patch, it told you, you must upgrade to v1.1 first or whatever prior versions.. that would suck xD
