In my opinion, yes. Most people i know talk about the Sega Saturn, PC Engine/CD, Mega Drive, and perhaps the Dreamcast when it comes to shooters... and i even hear some say that the NEO•GEO lacks good shooters compared to other systems, but personally i disagree. Sure the neo library doesnt have a TON of them but the ones that are there are incredibly high quality in my opinion. Personally, my favorites are both Sonic Wings games, Strikers 1945 Plus, Twinkle Star Sprites, Ironclad, blazing Star, and pulstar. All top quality games! I havent played prehistoric isle 2 yet, but it looks really fun too. As far as gameplay goes, NEO•GEO shooters have been some of the most fun with TONS of replay value. What are your favorite neo shooters?
Even though the NEO•GEO has less shmups than the saturn, i find the fun factor of them to be a lot better than many saturn shooties.
Big example, sonic wings special (even in tate mode) is just less fun to me than sonic wings 2&3 on NEO•GEO. I like how the sonic wings games on neo use a horizontal monitor, but they dont feel cramped... they just feel like vertical shmups with a wider area to move. VERY well designed games IMO. The saturn sonic wings game has a SHIT soundtrack compared to the saturn version.
Random question: how did Strikers 1945 Plus end up at 684 MEGA POWER?!? where are all those megs going??? It’s way bigger than either pulstar or blazing star, yet it looks not much more advanced Than the sonic wings games! The explosions are crazy smooth though... maybe the coolest explosions i have ever seen in a 2D game
Is strikers the highest meg shmup on the neo?
