Let's talk about your NEO GEO collecting + PRICE GUIDES

Bah, I hate sticks; the NGCD pad is awesome IMO.

As far as shmups, I made it to Stage 6 on Zed Blade using a pad.

I cannot play a shmup with a pad. I mean, I can, but shmups and sticks go hand and hand for me. Which is weird, since I never played shmups at the arcades (nor ever played shmups since getting into them a few years ago).

I didn't really get into shmups until I started posting on here. I've tried time and time again to use sticks for shmups and fighters, but with little success. I just do so much better w/ a pad. Plus, tapping buttons on a stick or at a cab kills my wrist after awhile.

What's wrong with the controller?

The pad is great. Just not as much for shmups with repeated button tapping.

Is the pad good for anything? I'm thinking that the too few platformers on the system won't really make it worth it to buy one, that my sticks should be fine.

It must be if it was relaunched for the PS2 in Japan

USB versions were also made for PS3/PC I believe.

and the PS3.

For me, it's the SAT 2 pad (slim) and then the NG pad. The d-pad takes getting used to, but once you do, so slick and nice big buttons.

Amusingly I've played Space Megaforce (SNES) with a pad so much I'm better at that one game with a pad.

The NG pad is great, I'd just prefer a stick for the shmups.

Today's wares:

Last Soldier is the Korean Version of Last Blade.

My kids really enjoy the magical drop series. I debate going for the MVS library from a sheer physical size and because I don't like owning things I won't ever play (like the mahjong games and the uber-repetitive soccer titles). I'll see where i'm at once I acquire the last few pricey carts and if i'm super close, I may just go for it. I'm still a ways away, I forget the official count, but I think its in the low 200's.

I didn't know Double Dragon was released on the Neo-Geo. Guess I shouldn't be surprised, though, since it was released on every other console in existence.

Yep. It's a decent 2-D fighter.

[mjmjr25]

Yeah, I ordered it a week ago and then played it last night on a multi-cart to see how that would compare to this one when it arrived. As I posted about last night - I was surprised to find it's a pretty decent 2D fighter, not a beat 'em up.
