IMO Dreamcast is the "king", but Saturn is cool too.

Bend_The_Knee They came out with this thing https://www.snk-corp.co.jp/us/neogeomini/

Yea, I saw some at my local GameStop going for $40 but I don't feel it's worth it with such a small screen.

I get that the gameboy screen was small but it was a different time then

It has an HDMI out . Not sure how quality is though.

Wait, you can connect it to your tv? Did they release controllers for it?

 

[Bend_The_Knee]

I see that walmart sells the neo geo mini with 2 controllers for $100. Then I see that there's a US version and an International version.

 

[datboi81]

Yeah the Neo Geo Mini connects to the TV.

I forgot about those mini cabinets. Nice that they connect to a tv.

Looks like the 'International Version' has Magician Lord.






Bend_The_Knee this guy is disappointed with the graphics & controllers

 

[s-blaze]

Yeah the Neo Geo Mini connects to the TV.

Robot or human?

TURBO UNO

I was looking into a Neo Geo and read that it is the best console for fighting games.

Then I saw the prices


Maybe one day they release a Neo Geo mini. Would not bother at all with that small arcade cabinet they released.

Bend_The_Knee You can grab either of these items, although the Arcade Stick Pro is the far better of the two:

Amazon product ASIN B07D1KN661
Amazon product ASIN B07XR9V88V
If you're willing to get your hands dirty and don't mind tweaking with electronics, the MiSTer FPGA is the best alternative:

MiSTer FPGA Hardware - RetroRGB

The MiSTer is an open-source project that emulates consoles, computers and arcade boards via FPGA - This is different from software emulation, as there's potential for performance exactly like the original. While software emulation has the potential to be really accurate as well, you're much...

A Capcom console

 

[azbucks916]

With the old school Pokémon card craziness going on I checked out offer up in my area and came across all these for $100. All the cartridges are damn near mint, have all inserts,maps, etc for each and there’s a box protector on each. Plus all the saves work on the cartridges. Not sure if I paid more then I should but the nostalgia feels def hit me cool to have Green since it was the first and was only released In Japan since there was a bunch of bugs and the sprites were all different !

 

[Bend_The_Knee]

Always loved this series except for 6 which was hot garbage

+1

i cant think of a better console for fighting games than the dreamcast...i bought an aes a few years ago but i rarely play it...but i never really got into kof or fatal fury as a kid...i enjoyed street fighter and tekken over the snk fighters

I was more so thinking about the Non-Vs series of Capcom games that weren't even released on DC.

Alpha Series
DarkStalkers

Especially.

I hated the Dreamcast's controller for FIghting Games though.

But Dreamcast has Super Turbo, Darkstalkers, and Alpha 3 The first two released only in Japan but yeah.

Weirdly enough the controller wasn't too bad for me at the time. I was able to do some nice MVC2 combos with it but looking back now it wasn't that great.

 

[streetlights]

...uhhh...i hated console controllers since street fighter 2 on the snes...i rarely used the buttons on the top of the controller...

fightsticks made console fighters super fun...ive got my eye out for a good deal on the agetek dreamcast fightstick...but i was using this PS360+ setup with Sanwa JLF and Seimitsu buttons before i got my arcade setups...gonna fire up the dreamcast tonight!
