MVS Mania: A Neo Geo Live Stream

Scary part is that Monkey Paw was selling it's raw Japanese ISOs on PSN for 50% off for Playstation Plus when it first came out, i snagged my copy at $3.00 and got some Magical Drop F while I was at it.

Aw man, no one picked Yamazaki in Real Bout. As a subscriber I'm disappointed. Haha. Samurai Showdown 2 is pretty awesome but Jeff calling it one of the best games is like him admitting that he likes anime. I remember playing a lot of Mark Of The Worves on Dreamcast and enjoying it. I always saw it as SNK: The New Class since a lot of the characters seem descended from the lineage of KoF fighters. Rock being Geese mixed with Terry, both of Kim's sons are in it, and even Butt (his name is Butt!) is a disciple of Ryo's art of fighting.

Owning an arcade system at home never felt reasonable until the Dreamcast. It seems like MVS owners were paying a premium to never leave the house which just seems crazy. Overall a pretty entertaining stream guys! Thanks and keep it coming!

We are through the looking glass, here, people.

Visually, Mark of the Wolves looks INCREDIBLE. Like, holy shit.

You a doctor?

How to beat every Giant Bomb staff member:

Block the jump in. Block the low sweep. Counter attack.

I was always partial to Samurai Shodown IV. I mean come on...

VICTOLY

First bananas now burritos. When will the madness end, Brad?!

Yeah. It was this super expensive kind of rare to see thing that had games that looked soooooo much better than anything else available. Neo Geo was the holy grail of the schoolyard. Everyone knew what it was, and had seen it in person a time or two, but no one had one, and all spoke in hushed, awestruck tones of the fabled NeoGeo. o___o

Brocken is Inspector Gadget.

Garou MOTW best fighting game of all time. All time. Ever. All future games are competing for runner-up position.

Marco is correctly named Butt in the 360 version.

I hadn't heard of a Neo Geo until I was like...I dunno, 16 or something? In 2004 or so? I don't think it looks all that impressive for what it costs, and the Genesis and SNES both had vastly superior libraries of games. Not sure what the appeal was there. I guess I was too young to appreciate the huge sprites or something but SNES games looked great to me.

Hell yeah! Neutron stars!

Poor Alexis, he actually does work and probably still makes a lot less than the main dudes.

This was fun! I'd really like to se you play some more Money Puzzle Exchanger. Maybe a mini tournament?

I'm surprised Brad had never played Money Puzzle Exchanger until now. The PSN version is totally fine on PS3, and when Vita got PS1 support it was the first game I installed (though it doesn't show up on the Vita store you need to transfer it from PS3).

The KoF MOBA makes me wonder whether Guilty Gear 2 counts as a MOBA.

Cool stuff GB

Going to guess Nintendo did a little research

I've never had an iPhone, but all my iPods have broken in weird ways just after the warranty expired, and their USB charging cables and those ridiculously expensive earbuds tend to just dissolve, exposing all kinds of wiring, and iTunes is a total shitshow, so I'm kinda with Rorie, modern Apple products don't seem to be terribly high quality stuff, especially not at about 3 times the price of their competitor's products.

@inversematrix: Twinkle Star Sprites? Fantastic game.

so much crotch cam action!

so much crotch cam action!

This was great!!!

I'm sorry everyone, and to you Rorie. But you have got to chill out on the streams. You don't need to tell us everything from the chat all the time. Just relax and let the good times happen naturally.

is it just me or is Brad really bad about blaming any failure or deficiency on the game/hardware?

I can't get enough when these guys do retro.

More please.

Sad that at no point did anyone ask if anyone was okay...

B. Jenet might have my favorite pre-match animation ever in a fighting game. Chugs a tall cold one with her pirate bros and then they all just smash their glasses on the fucking ground. Now THAT is how you start a fight.

Holy shit, the capture for this looks amazing! What do they use to capture it?

2D perfection.
