The most average Neo game you've played

[HeavyMachineGoob]

Not good, not bad, just that awkward middle of the road. A game not worth writing home about, you probably forgot about it until this thread.

My pick is Fatal Fury 2. It is sandwiched between the immensely unique Fatal Fury 1 and the instant classic that is Fatal Fury Special. Fatal Fury 2 is so average and middling, even its Genesis/MD port is massively more interesting.

Groove on fight.

Metal Slug 4, I watched BBH's neo rank masters on it last night and it's pretty much forgettable and doesn't really need to exist. It's not an 'awful' game by any means and some people prefer it over 3, but it's just so uninspired and middling and forgettable.

Goob on right.

I love how the sphero symphony logo is a stylised negative of the imperial japanese flag.

Hey I like Alpha mission II. It’s not a perfect classic, but it’s no Blue’s Journey in terms of mediocrity.

I mean what the hairy scotsman is going on here?

 

[SignOfGoob]

Prehistoric Isle II, Ironclad, and yeah Metal Slug 4.

Fatal Fury II could only seem mediocre to someone flipping through ROMs. It was an absolutely massive upgrade from 1 and it introduced Mai. Special is better but nearly identical.

Oh
Play it again and give it another real chance - many people don't like it, precisely because it's special and not "average".
To me it's legendary.

How average is Andro Dunos in comparison?

With a stylised negative of a butthole in the center

ASO 2 is the best shmup on the neo

Neo Bomberman. Really every bomberman game is mid at best.

You’re not wrong about Neo Bomberman. You are wrong about Bomberman itself though. Only 5/6 of all Bomberman games are lame. A few are fantastic.

Neo Bomberman is four players which is uh…not enough for fucking Bomberman. The standard was four or five on nearly every system.

EDIT: sorry, meant to say that Neo is two players.

I just never got the appeal even when playing "the good ones". Similar to how I feel about Viewpoint.

Aggressors of Dark Kombat.

Its fun for a little while, but ultimately I just choose to play something else.

Is 4 player possible on Neo Geo Hardware somehow?

Saturn Bomberman local multiplayer will probably never be beaten for fun factor.

No. Sudden Desu retracted that post further down in the replies. It was a mistake. All he did was activate the 3rd and 4th CPU bomber early. They're already in the game.

Ghost Pilots, easily. Everything about it is mid. Gameplay is boring, graphics are bland as shit and there's like one good song.

Good Bomberman requires local multiplayer. It doesn’t really have any other use. The one player modes are just a bonus.

"Puzzled" perhaps, though I do enjoy playing it sometimes.

Except Saturn Bomberman; the adventure and master modes are fun. Though, it's multiplayer is also epic and of course the primary reason to own it as well as a saturn multi-tap or two.

Mutation Nation is a super average beat 'em up, but compared to most of the others on the system it seems good by comparison. Fuck Sengoku, for real
