Naw man, KOF is what kept that system alive.

So I just added this to the Dreamcast collection. Been on the hunt since 2004 for this without ever coming across a physical copy and within the last week, I've ran into twice. It was destined.

With this pick up today, I came down to it that I have a 5 must have games left Domestic and 3 Import (None in order)
1. Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike
2. Street Fighter Alpha 3
3. Skies of Arcadia
4. Sonic Adventure 2
5. Crazy Taxi 2

1. Capcom vs. SNK Pro
2. Capcom vs. SNK 2
3. Guilty Gear X

I'm probably the only person who doesn't have (or care to have) Shenmue. Who knows, I might actually like that game if I played it now, but fighters are clearly the most important to me.

 

[slaughterx]

Shenmue is trash. Also I found my 6th Dreamcast in the closet!

 

[Bend_The_Knee]

Classic!

Used to have that game... played it with my uncle before he became a crackhead. We also used to play Life Force.

Late night Office Depot jig we’ll see if it ships though. $30 something for a Nintendo SNES mini. Also, I think jig is up now

Got me one sometime last week, looks to be in great condition. No dust on the side vents, some college chick from mercari for $44 shipped.

I think I saw that on my FB feed in the local FB marketplace section, joe billionaire

It came from Indiana. She also had smash Bros for 25 but I snoozed.

I like going thru the memory cards, it was last played saved in 2014 so recent. Sunshine 7 shines saved, mario party 7, smash Bros. Teen titans, lego games lol

Oh wow, okay that's much better! I was sitting there thinking about my eyes straining after a few minutes of play. Definitely something I might pick up since I'm not familiar with the Neo Geo.

I'm not really impressed it with it tbh.

They've gone for the 'cute' look however that small screen and integrated joystick are impractical and will needlessly drive up cost. Thankfully the HDMI out, audio and power aren't proprietary but it looks like the wired controllers are a necessity.

Not sure why they didn't attempt a 'mini' version of their console system with slightly slimmed down arcade sticks.

I agree with you, that screen is too small to use and that it affects the price. I'm totally cool with them just making a mini-shaped console and call it a day.

 

[slaughterx]

they did that already...

 

[TURBO UNO]

they did that already...

I didn't know they already made a NeoGeo mini. Why bother bringing this one back a small screen?

 

[kenny powders]

Can someone post a link or pic to this neogeo mini

they did that already...

NEOGEO X GOLD Limited Edition Amazon product ASIN B00AASU8A4
And since we're talking about Neo-Geo... I never owned one, but I do have this... funny I think the DC adapter is worth more than everything else. Or at least I had the hardest time finding it, just to use on one game.

TURBO UNO kenny powders I think slaughterx is referring to this not so impressive third party joint that manufactured by 'Tommo' - which is probably SNK's version of SEGA's AT Games.

It's kind of interesting but this 'new' Neo Geo Mini seems to be based off that portable model based on the integrated screen.

 

[TURBO UNO]

Anything comparable to @tgames is never good. I'll avoid that older release.
