Copper Storm, a shoot 'em up made by Neofid Studio (DaemonClaw), is planned to be coming for the Neo Geo. It is also planned for the SNES and Genesis.

So far, Neofid has been both consistent in their releases and receptive to feedback. With that said, small studios usually struggle with releasing for multiple platforms. Either this new game is going to be fairly simple or they have a fantastic SNES programmer on board now.

Guys neo geo games were cool because they were ported to worse systems, to have a shit game ported to the neo geo what the fuck.

Yeah, I got a little nervous everytime a game got ported to other systems but usually they were shite compared to the OG. Then there were some OGs that were shite compared to some top-tier 16bit releases.

NeoFid's earlier game, Demons of Asteborg, was pretty decent on the MD. The difficulty was a bit on the extreme side, but the presentation was excellent. With a bit of refinement in the difficulty curve, it could have been something great.
I dare say they could produce a pretty competent shmup for the MD if the right ingredients are there - but I agree with others, I don't want to see a MD game ported to the Neo, it should be the other way around.

We'll get a chance to see how well they do with DoA, since it's getting an enhanced 2P port for the Neo this Christmas.

That's the curse for sharing the same CPU as the Mega Drive, Amiga, and Atari Jaguar funnily enough.

Well, in the sense that the M68K on the Jaguar reads the controller but some devs used it over the other chips to run the whole game back in the day.There is absolutely no connection

Sure, but what I mean is - I can't imagine anyone porting their own games from their 68k code. So CPU similarity hardly makes any difference.

Demons of Asteborg was a big technical achievement and had the title of the meg-heaviest MD cart with 117 mbit/15MB, then Astebros topped it off with 118 mbit. They used a custom mapper to overcome the usual 32Mbit limit of the Genny.
Asteborg looks amazing, plays very nice and has great sound but it's not only too difficult but also wilfully obscure in some parts, specially the boss fights. I mean, no prob with difficult games, practise makes masters, but this is more like trolling-level diff.
Rogue-lite, or whatever they call these games. I've come to the conclusion that it's no genre for me. Maybe I've missed something here.

I thought astebros was really damn good, although i couldnt imagine beating the game with anyone but the crossbow wielder. cant even beat the first level with the other 2 characters

Agreed. I wanted to love Asteborg, but couldn't get very far in my casual play session, so I wasn't hooked.

I tried hard to like it coz it plays so well, would have been great if the game had a less crazy diff and unpredictability, and maybe a story that unfolds in a more organic way instead of having to sit through dialogues filled with super funny little gags and references that don't add anything to the story or atmosphere as a whole.
I mean, a team writes a game with great controls, visuals and sound, everyone looks at it and wants to play it, and then they go and ruin it with troll diff, haha-gotcha hidden bs and, let's put it nicely, juvenile storytelling and development. Asteborg is like a powerful and great looking car with square tires.
