SNK / neo geo was not a part of the conversation back in thr 90s among my arcade and console gaming bros. No one knew what that shit was.

NOw all of these “SNK Collections” being released as if anyone knew what they were or care

Even emulating these games most were derivative bullshit with far superior versions of thr same game made by Capcom. It was like shovelware for arcades

They have series with like ten sequels that no one knows anything about.

SNK was always bigger than capcom in south america and china (plus parts of europe I think)

as for the quality of the games capcom really didn't put out anything good and novel between SFII champion edition in 92 and third strike in 99, which is when KoF got really big

SNK is getting shilled now because the company got bought by a Saudi prince who loved their games and wanted to revive them

Didn’t know that regarding the Saudi prince. I can respect that if it’s something he loved growing up

lol yeah. some doods would act like they’d heard of those characters before but it was bullshit. there was one version of it i played with my friends a lot that was pretty good though

it’s funny you’re the one poasting this because i remember thinking back then that SNK must be something gen x remembered. i guess not

There are 573 King of Fighters games but who was ever playing these? I was obsessed with fighting games as a kid and have no recollection of anyone playing them or ever being mentioned in gaming magazines.

I definitely didn’t know. If they’d said King of Fighters I’d at least have a clue

The ones always mentioned are king of fighters and samurai showdown (both fighters) and metal slug (contra clone)

I have like every one of these games on my batocera on raspberry pi. No comment on thr fighting games because I ignore them. Metal Slug I gave a shot because people online really like them, but I’d take contra any day of the week

The internet also like Gunstar Heroes but Contra is still a little better imo. You can't beat Contra imho.

There were a few staunch SNK hotspots in the US. Very big in Detroit, Knoxville, Rochester
