All you have to say about this year is Metal Slug. Enough said.
But that would be doing the Neo a massive disservice. This was both a huge year for the Neo Geo and a sign of decline. This would be the last year for a while that all of SNK’s biggest series would receive a sequel. Even though Metal Slug, KOF and Neo Turf Masters would help inject new life in the platform, a few other games on AES from this year would receive extremely small print runs as a result of dwindling sales in some regions.
There were an incredible 22 games released this year. Sadly, it would become the last big year as from this point on, the Neo would receive fewer and fewer games in future years.
