[werejag]

[ViewtifulZFO]

Hope to see this released before 2008.

I highly doubt SNKP is contacting these guys every couple of days with a new release date. Somebody at EB/GS is just a retard, I wish they'd go with TBA and quit dickin around.

It's called "We hate you, but please buy our games when they come out!"

That means that they have no clue when it's coming out. How hard can this really be? They've already got 3,4,5, and 6 in Japan and all they have to do is set up a decent Neo emulator for the other three, (which they should already have due to the fact that they have ports of 4 and 5), put 1,2, and X on it add some menus and you're done.

I've never understood why ports take so long. It's stupid.

a offical neogeo emu for ps2 would be sweet.

I'm guessing the lack of posts in this thread is truth enough the PS2 version hasn't come out...

When first I heard about it, I immediately disregarded it as mere rumor. In the past week I've actually been looking forward to it just because of Slug 6, and now it's a lie. This is what happens when I get my hopes up, and fuck SNKUSA. They'll probably cancel it just like Re-Bout, because it wasn't released during the holiday season.

Yeah, like games like these woulda been holiday juggernauts, anyways.

Don't blame SNKPLAYMORENEOGEOUSA, blame fucking SCEA, iirc they don't want and 2D games on their systems.

yeaaaah baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you do, SCEA doesn't really want 2d games on their consoles. Exceptions have slipped through like the 2k2+2k3 pack. I think this game will come out, my EB working friend said January 7th.

 

[Moon Jump]

After the crap with the D-Pad not working on the Wii version I'll wait and see when and if the PS2 version comes out and if it does, how it ported. I'd much rather use a Joystick to play the games then have to buy a converter that might not work.

 

[J. Max]

Got another "update" from them. 2/1/07.


It ain't coming out.

 

[DZ]

SCEA has a "big problem" with 2d games. It all started with the PSone. They didnt want to put 2d games on the system because it was "taking a step back" graphically. The first game that scea shunned away was Mega Man x4. They let would not put it on the psone and sega ended up getting it released on the Saturn. After the success that it had sony decided that they would release it. This carried over straight to the ps2. Sony has a policy that they will not release a 2d game for under $39.99. Every game, ever Castle Shikagami 2, was released at $40 dollars. However, SNKP doesnt want to release the games at $40 bucks a peice..thinking that US gamers would be more apt to buy there games at a $20 price tag..however SCEA wont let them. Thats why the the 2k KOF's and the Slugs got bundled together, and its why we will never see any of the atomiswave games here in the states unless they decided to bundle them up.

One bright spot it that Sony usually lets up on this rule as the system begins to fade out..hence all the quirky games that were released at the end of the psone's lifespan..Cleopatras Fortune, Puzzle star sweep, ect. So maybe there is still some hope that we might get something here.. still holding out for the delayed forever Raiden III that XS games is supposed to publish...ugh

 

[LoneSage]

Everyone shut up, especially Decepti.
Sony hates 2D yeah, but they don't care when it's bundled and when their console's dead.
NeoGeoUSA sucks huge ass at releasing games, deal.

 

[Princess-Isabel]

I'm getting antology for PSP, having slugs on the go - oh yeah!
