NeoGeo Arcade 2
SCORE: 68
I am very thankful I had the money to purchase a copy of the NeoGeo
Arcade 2 collection on the Evercade. I actually have all of these games
on the ACA NeoGeo Collections but I also have all of the Evercade
cartridges so I decided to keep that going. The issues families can have
with NeoGeo Arcade 2 are violence, lack of attire, blood, enticement to
lust, false gods, magic, and more. The six games on the NeoGeo Arcade 2
cartridge are Garou Mark of the Wolves, Metal Slugs 2. Art of Fighting
2, Crossed Swords, Ninja Commando, and Sengoku 2.
There are two fighting games, two shooters, one brawler, and one action
adventure first person role playing game. Crossed Swords is a game I
remember seeing pictures of many decades ago. I wanted to play this game
so badly when I was much younger. Sadly I never had the money to play
Crossed Swords. Now that I got to play Crossed Swords I am a bit
disappointed. I will explain that fully. We stand there and move left to
right while the enemies come to us. We must wait for them, and a great
many times we need to block and then attack. Crossed Swords gets
monotonous on NeoGeo Arcade 2 really fast. I always thought from the
pictures that we were walking through these different environments.
Ninja Commando on the NeoGeo Arcade 2 cartridge is one of those walking
shooters where we walk the character around and shoot things. I love the
visuals in that game. Some of the translations show major mistakes. The
fighting games are not the greatest to play on a live stream like I did.
The main reason is not knowing every single characters moves - which are
not intuitive. I also noticed there can be a balance problem with the
characters in the fighting games on the NeoGeo Arcade 2 cartridge.
During the live stream where I played all of this games I noticed
something about the brawler on NeoGeo Arcade 2. The enemies come in
waves just like they do in most shooting games. I wonder if that was by
design. If you have an Evercade and like retro arcade games then NeoGeo
Arcade 2 might interest you. The down side is there are only six games.
