nope, never bougt a Wii stick. I generally only use the Wii for light gun games.

Strange... I thought you had that arcade stick for some reason.



I looked at prices of an AES aaand... yeah... not looking to spend that much money for an arcade experience right now. This collection and a wii stick is more budget-friendly...

I have a PS3 SF4 stick that looks really similar?

Tsk,tsk. What a waste of potential.

sigh. I feel like I've said this a million times. I just think of the Wii as my wife's console. It's not hooked up where I play games. And I'm sure I'm missing out on plenty of good games, but I have so many other good games to keep me busy in the meantime.

But... The platformers!

I'm sure you'll start digging deeper into the library at some point. No reason to try to play everything at once.

As someone who isn't a huge fan of wrpgs or fps, I've enjoyed the Wii more than anything else this gen, shmups aside. Still dont own a ps3 though.

... Wait whats this thread about again?

Classic Arcade Compilations? I'm in! Because I read them and know about them and own whichever ones come out on PC

Let's break down the SNK compilation --

Art of Fighting -- started a great series, although I think the 2nd one is the best in the series

Baseball Stars 2 -- one of the better sports titles released on the Neo by far.

Burning Fight -- if you can get past some of the "japanese" elements of the game, including the Engrish and bad voices, it's a pretty enjoyable beat em up

Fatal Fury -- I remember playing this at 7-11 when it came out in 1992. I loved it a lot more than SF II, but Michael Max always gave my ass the beatdown

King of the Monsters -- Oh yes! Played the SNES port a LOT -- real neat idea and a lot of fun!

Last Resort -- for some reason, I just could not get into this shmup. Either it was too dark, or too slow, or too difficult, one of those reasons.

Magician Lord -- One of ADK's earlier releases, great action game with neat supporting characters you can use.

Metal Slug -- The one that started it all!

Neo Turf Masters -- Dare I say it's the greatest golf game EVAR? ON THE GWEEEEEN!

Samurai Shodown -- another fine start to a legendary series!

Sengoku -- I thought this game looked AMAZING for a Neo launch game. Love the Japanese voices and art used too.

Shock Troopers -- The biggest and best love letter ever sent to Ikari Warriors. BLOW SOME STUFF UP

Super Sidekicks 3: The Next Glory -- Neo Geo Cup 98 was supposedly based off this game (or SS4) but it's real good too!

The King of Fighters '94 -- Greatness has to start somewhere, and even though I like '98 the best, couldn't have done it without 94!

Top Hunter: Roddy & Cathy -- Rather fun and surprised me with some neat cartoon-quality elements to it

World Heroes -- again, much more a fan of WH2/Jet but again, we have to start somewhere.

You want good collections? Taito Legends & Taito Legends 2: The Shmups (mostly)
