Hhmmm
Its weird that NGBC, even though it came before XI, is being released a month later after XI.
What they should do is fix NGBC so it doesn’t load like crazy:tup:
After seeing those Garou vids in the “WTF is garou” thread, it seems to me like SNK needs to bring that shit over here. Seriously, that game looks legit. I’m gonna have to import that even if they do plan on bringing it over.
Garou MOTW is legit…its what many would call the 3s of SNK…by far…its been that way for a while…and it’s better some are seeing it now though late…anything to get people to play more SNK.
Well I’ve just recently gotten into fighting games (used to play some casual for awhile) so I seem to have missed a lot. My list of games to import seems to keep getting bigger:rofl:.
Wow, Atmoswave games actually getting ported to the US. Wonders never cease, what is this 3 now counting NeoWave?
Yes it would be 3 counting NeoWave…and the thing is NeoWave is already here and I gotta bust my ass to get more to play that though its already here!!!
So while I’ve heard the fact that some say “The games arent here” well NeoWave is and more should start playing it!
I’m hoping when the EVO East SNK 2007 vids hit at the end of the month more will be able to see the beauty in many of these games!!

MOTW is one of SNK’s best games ever made. I don’t get it why it isn’t very popular.
It came out late in an aging Neo Geo platform and arcade fighters weren’t popular by its release. If I recall, people weren’t crazy about SF3 either, and it took Capcom three times before they finally got the sequel right.
It’s tough to theorize why Third Strike started becoming popular well after its release, although I tend to believe it’s in part because people were seeing what an amazing game it was from the B-Series tournament footage. If the same thing happened to MotW, we’d probably be seeing MotW in the Evolution lineup as well by now.
I sent an email to SNK Playmore USA with some questions. Here is their reply.
Lol, nice av cowdisease.
I really hope there’s a sequel to Garou sometime in the future.
And that idea to license songs to Guitar Hero is great.
Can any of the fatal furies coming out in Fatal Fury Archives live up to MOTW? I only played FF 1 so I have no idea how the others rank up.
Dropping by to say that the 98 remix of 94 Esaka would be dope as FUCK in Guitar Hero.
That’s hard to say, a lot of people (myself included) consider Garou: MotW to be the best SNK fighter ever, so that’s some pretty lofty company right there. Not to mention Garou obviously came much later than any of the early FF titles, when there more games to draw “inspiration” from (hint: 3S).
Having said that, Fatal Fury Special (on BA Vol. 1) is an excellent fighting game in its own right, probably the best of the early FF games. Great cast, tight gameplay, line switching sucks but hey, that’s why you avoid it, right? Still, I don’t think you’re going to find many people here who will tell you that FF Special is a better game than Garou.
And seriously, all of the Real Bout games (BA Vol. 2) kick ass, I could play any of them for hours on end. I especially love me some Real Bout 2, but I would stop just short of saying it’s better than Garou. Cross your fingers and pray that Vol. 2 hits our shores, but then again, if it wasn’t, there’d be no need to label the first disc “Vol. 1” would there?:wgrin:
The hell is real bout =p? All these fatal furies confuse me.
Are any of the Fatal furies around Super Turbo level of play ; )?
ST level of play? Thats Fatal Fury Special you are looking for in general.
Real Bout is the remake of Fatal Fury 1 and 2 but actually canon…
And Real Bout was the original name of Fatal Fury…before it became Fatal Fury…
what address did you e-mail to? every time I try it never goes through.
I forwarded my original, bounced email that I sent to info@snkplaymoreusa.com to their Tech Support email, techsupport@snkplaymoreusa.com. They thanked me for alerting them to their info@ email problem and replied to my questions.
I am so totally stoked bra! :wgrin:
one time I sent them an e-mail about upcoming PSP games, and I got a personal, informative response; I’ve e-mailed about 3 times afterwards with no reply whatsoever since…
I think it has allot to due with the fact that there is only a hand full of Xbox copies floating around. I would say it’s more scarce than MvC2 or pretty much any other fighter for Xbox. I’m lucky enough to have a copy, and I really need to start playing it more myself as it is a great game.
