Wasted opportunity to not have Raiden/Big Bear as a guest from Fatal Fury. Capcom's Saturday Night Slam Masters brought in Mike Haggar from Final Fight. That was a great idea.
@@yeoedwin1619 Ralf, Clark, Jack, Mickey and Johnny aren't wrestlers, AOF2, KOF '94, WH2 and AODK hadn't come out yet by this game's release, and SNK didn't own World Heroes or any other ADK games in the 90s
Ideal Tag Team for this game should be: Blubber Man and Blue Hablam=Mexican Macho, Gochack Bigbomb and Big Bomberder=Spanish Bomber Brothers, Terry Rogers and Leo Bradlay = American Brawlers, Roy Wilson and Master Barnes = European Warriors, The Gandhara and The Red Dragon = Asian Furies
Soo wanted to love this game, but the grapples are literally impossible to win after the third round and you have to cheese the game to win. But shame there never was a sequel (though some people count that Neo Geo Pocket wrestling game as the sequel)
I really liked the style of this game. Sure it doesn't have the technical advantages that the wwe2K games have, but it looks like it's fun! Each wrestler has a unique style and "gimmick" and that's exactly what wrestlers and wrestling IS! So overall I have to admit this is a really great wrestling/fighting/beat em' up game! It really captures the essence of pro wrestling! See you don't HAVE to HAVE a HUGE license for a wrestling game to be playable, just a decent amount of glamor and glitz, some amazing moves, crazy flips and flops, and overall knowledge of wrestling, and this has it! A decent game that I'd get if I had a NeoGeo.
I thought that SNK's 3 Count Bout was unfairly panned when it came out - at least I've always had a good time with it! Just be warned - it's far from easy!
I honestly love this game and wish SNK would've made a possibly easier sequel. If you can beat Slam Masters, you can get through this game, though that game is about as tough as this, IMHO.
Now I know where the action finger button came from. Damn pirates taking all the sprites to make their knock-off games. I watched Projared video about a Wii knock-off console.
Aww, yeah, more NG stuff. The truck stop outside my town had one, and they actually rotated the games, so me and my best friend would go there on weekends and spend hours there eating the greasy cheeseburgers and playing the Geo. This one I didn't get to play until sometime later, but it was still a blast, especially 2 player, since I'd usually win.
Looking back on this game, Saturday Night Slam Masters had this beat on the Roster. 4 of the playable characters in this game are just palette swaps with the exact same moves. Seems kind of lazy in hindsight.
@@BedroomBeethovens Bringing in a character from another franchise and re-designing him, updating his movesets and animations isn't lazy to any degree; in fact it shows dedication. Swapping the rgb values 4 times and passing them off as "individual" characters is the epitome of lazy.
Blubber man is Abdul the butcher if you ever seen Abdul the butcher matches you'll know he keeps a spike in his shorts she's also one of the legendary wrestlers
The mistake people make with this game is treating it like a wrestling game. It isnt one. It is a wrestling themed brawler. Punching and kicking to wear opponent down are what you need to do. Occasional flying drop kick here and there. Only grapple with A in the beginning, towards the initiate grapples with A but end with B and presssing up/down/left/right etc and bigger moves that usually end the fight will be performed. I dont know if there are finishers, some guys refuse to be grappled until the absolute very end. This is more of a fighting game than it is a wresstling game. Streets of Rage if it was in a ring.
After seeing the link NC, I had to come right over to see your 3 Count Bout video. Marvelous as usual bro. Such a fantastic game and graphically impressive to really show us the power of the Neo-Geo and the 100th Mega Shock that SNK had to offer at the time. Tough as rubber this gem was, I never could go past The Red Dragon. However, a fellow Neo-Geo player explain to me that you will never be able to progress if you start grappling all the time, you had to weaken the CPU with high risk maneuvers, colliding with them, or using weapons to cause damage...It work soon after. 8^) Nice work for sure NC. Thank you again for the link and always a pleasure to see you in action. 8^)
Terry Rogers is Terry Funk But he look like Kerry Von Erich if you look up the Von Erich family you'll see that Kerry is the bigger Von Erich out of all of them but he never wore those type of pants which make everybody think that it was Terry Funk plus he also has Terry Funk finishing move
I didn't have a NeoGeo system back then. They were a tad bit too pricey for me and my minimum wage job...lol. Actually not minimum wage but certainly not a huge dollar per hour amount. I stuck with the Nintendo Systems, the Sega Systems, the TurboGraphx-16, etc. Those were just fine for my cheap butt.....lol! However this was one game I was and am curious about! Thanks for sharing this with us! Great video as always!
This game was awesome,anyway I have no idea why wwe didnt let either snk or capcom to make a game for them,but the only good thing they did back then is offering midway for that .
THIS WAS UNBELIEVABLE & I CAN ONLY WISH MY OUTCOME TO FINISH THIS GAME WILL COME SOMEDAY. I CAN'T EVEN GET THE JOB DONE WITH THE UNIBIOS CHIP INSTALLED, THE CODES APPEAR TO BE CORRUPT & SIMPLY DON'T WORK. 3 COUNT BOUT IS THE ONLY GAME IN THE ENTIRE LIBRARY THAT SEEMS TO BE PLAGUED IN SOME WAY THAT JUST FEELS IMPOSSIBLE TO OVERCOME UNFORTUNATELY SO & MY INFINITE ENERGY CODE DON'T EVEN WORK. IT APPEARS THAT I'M NEVER GOING TO FINISH THIS ONE GAME WHICH FOR ME IS TRAGICALLY ABOVE & BEYOND DEPRESSING, "IT'S SAD I TELL YOU SAD"!!!!!!!!!!🤕😩😱😫😨😔🙏😢
an interesting game. terry rogers, red dragon and roy wilson would be the ideal team 3 count bout for a future king of fighters title. if it was a 4 on 4 affair i would have gandhara in that team. another similar team would have master barnes, a buriki one grappler style fighter and a certain wrestler type fighter from fighter's history/karnov's revenge plus one from rage of dragons. some of these characters would make good inclusions in a future capcom vs snk title as would some from saturday night slam masters.
LED it's pretty obvious who he is Greg The Hammer Valentine he looked exactly like him and Greg The Hammer Valentine never faults are in the WWE he always cheated with some type of weapon or he could be Ric Flair
Uno de los mejores juegos de luchas hubiera estado excelente que le aplicaras el german suplex a algún adversario por lo regular al gandhara o al red Dragon los demás ya es más difícil aplicarselos o la francksteiner con esos dos movimientos ya la tenías ganada ya que si se levantaban de ellos inmediatamente los podías cubrir otro que tenía un movimiento espectacular era el red Dragon que hacía una tabla marina todos los personajes tenían movimientos de rendición ocultos que eran fatales solo que eran más difíciles de aplicar logré terminarlo con la gran mayoría incluso en parejas con un amigo de la infancia que nos coordinamos muy bien saludos

Also worth mentioning, Ralf And Clark, Jack Turner, Mickey Rogers, Temujin, Muscle Power, Johnny Maximum, Sheen Genus, Leonhalt Domador

I came here for Terry Rogers after he is revealed in the background of KoF XV stages
Ideal Tag Team for this game should be:
Blubber Man and Blue Hablam=Mexican Macho,
Gochack Bigbomb and Big Bomberder=Spanish Bomber Brothers,
Terry Rogers and Leo Bradlay =
American Brawlers,

Only way to win grapples in later matches is to land enough strikes first, but even then it's tough towards the end.
If this had Technos style controls it would be incredible.

This SNK pro wrestling game will be re-released on Nintendo Switch and Xbox One as part of ACA Neo-Geo series.
Can you tell me how to throw?
with all of the button-mashing in 3count bout, is it too hard to play on a gamepad?
I played this game when I was a kid and many years later I found out that the Red Dragon was The Grear Muta
Frostien first thing I thought on sight.. “oh shit The Great Muta”
Aww, yeah, more NG stuff.

Muta "Red Dragon"
☆SWF☆
☆SNK☆
☆WRESTLING☆
☆FEDERATION☆
T. Rogers also reminds me of lex luger
The electrified cage = FMW.
R. Wilson = Bruiser Brody
I thought it was Ricky the dragon steamboat? 0_o
Terry Rogers and Master Barnes are also guests of KOFXV.
This SNK pro wrestling video game is coming to Nintendo Switch and Xbox One.
3 count bout is ABSOLUTELY AWESOME and STUNNINGLY AMAZING
Lex Luger + Captain America = Terry Rodgers
LEX EXPRESS
Wow! I love this game on my aes. So much nostalgia but I can never finish it. Great skills! I also like it's 2 player tag team mode.
Looking back on this game, Saturday Night Slam Masters had this beat on the Roster. 4 of the playable characters in this game are just palette swaps with the exact same moves. Seems kind of lazy in hindsight.
I mean, didn't SNSM have Hagger from Final Fight in it? Everyone is lazy to some extent.

0:13 The Great Muta vs Bruiser Brody ❤
Man if this wasn’t the hardest games in history or they had a difficulty level for the at home version it would be amazing.
You can change the difficulty level if emulating the game on retroarch by going to the dipswitch settings
I always get my ass kicked at this game, I really must get to grips with it as it looks gorgeous.
Blubber man is Abdul the butcher if you ever seen Abdul the butcher matches you'll know he keeps a spike in his shorts she's also one of the legendary wrestlers
I dont know what you guys have. I played it for the first time couple of years ago and came until the 4th enemy with 1 credit
looks great after almost 30 years.
Played this game a lot at the laundromat in south florida when I was a kid lol
In the World Heavyweight Champion version is pretty much Hulk Hogan or the Ultimate Warrior

@Trump Will Fuck You! Smoke another one.
Lots of people think Rogers is Hogan, but he reminds me more of Lex Luger when Vince tried to make him an all American face.

I'm trying to get all achievements on this game on XBOX but The Red Dragon is extremely hard on the XBOX version

Here's your winner, and the NEW SWF World Heavyweight Champion...
Terry ROGERS!
Terry Rogers is Terry Funk
But he look like Kerry Von Erich if you look up the Von Erich family you'll see that Kerry is the bigger Von Erich out of all of them but he never wore those type of pants which make everybody think that it was Terry Funk plus he also has Terry Funk finishing move
Easiest SNK game ever to beat: 1) enable Autofire 2) Profit.
This game deserves a console release. this was one of my favorite arcade wrestling games back in the day. :D
That red Z32 in the second match tho.....😍
Cant pass second fighter even on easy! ;)
YOU'RE NOT BY YOURSELF BUD, I CAN'T GET PASS RED DRAGON FOR SOME REASON😔🤕😩😫😢
Roy Wilson is the Giant Gonzalez it's pretty obvious they just put dreads on him
I didn't have a NeoGeo system back then. They were a tad bit too pricey for me and my minimum wage job...lol. Actually not minimum wage but certainly not a huge dollar per hour amount.

Terry Roger's be in the Background of the New KOF game on one of the stages.
Will bring this Neo-Geo game for PS4 and XB1
It is available for download on the Playstation Network on the PS4.
Release 1993 same year as Slam Master.
I wonder if a rapid fire controller 🎮 would help me with the grapling? 🤔
The red dragon is the Great Mudah
I actually think this looks more fun than Slam Masters.
This game is really good
This game is sick looking. Man neo geo had some awesome ass games
How do I change alternative colorful? At 10:57
G.Bigbomb I have to say it gots to be Andre the Giant and Andre the Giant early career he was part of a mask team
Thank you for game playing!
This game was awesome,anyway I have no idea why wwe didnt let either snk or capcom to make a game for them,but the only good thing they did back then is offering midway for that .
The electro shocker reminds me of doink in wrestlemania the arcade game
Hoping this makes Arcade Archives for PS4 and Xbox one.
It is already available for download on the Playstation Network.
@@DebonaireDouglas I see it now
Neo Geo was Amazing still is
Terry Rogers = Cody Rhodes
How do you make the wrestling moves,you grab him with A and when it flashes you press both A & B?
I hope more of these games comes to Nintendo switch
I would love that. This game really needs more exposure!
Lol you got your wish ahaha.
Same here.
It's confirmed
Lol
Terry Rogers blubber man.
Does he really?
Paul heyman cameo at 14:05
this game looks AWESOME! similar to Saturday Night Slam Masters
Terry Rogers reminds me more of a Von Erich than Hogan
I for one think of Shawn Michaels when I look at Terry Rogers and hear his entrance theme.
professors84 I think he's more of a lex Luger clone. Guy looks almost exactly like him
3 Count Bout is an awesome wrestling game. 😀👍🎮
@18:59 blubber man's entrance made my day :))
Buuuuh-lubber man!
That ending. Hilarious ;)

Difficulty killed this game
So beat the red ninja by doing run attacks.
This WWF meets street fighter. More moves, less street fighting.
🗣🎤 Introducing The Rookie Champion 💪🏻🇺🇲 TERRY ROGERS
How do you do that? I can finish ninja Gaiden but never even beat the first Guy in one try. I would really like to have a fair AI cheat on this one.
Game looks great, just wished this game played better. It's very similar to GanGan. Looks great, but clunky control sorta ruin the game.
SNK should of got the WWF license instead of Laughing Joking Numbnuts
blue Hablam is vader or Karma in a mask
THIS WAS UNBELIEVABLE & I CAN ONLY WISH MY OUTCOME TO FINISH THIS GAME WILL COME SOMEDAY. I CAN'T EVEN GET THE JOB DONE WITH THE UNIBIOS CHIP INSTALLED, THE CODES APPEAR TO BE CORRUPT & SIMPLY DON'T WORK. 3 COUNT BOUT IS THE ONLY GAME IN THE ENTIRE LIBRARY THAT SEEMS TO BE PLAGUED IN SOME WAY THAT JUST FEELS IMPOSSIBLE TO OVERCOME UNFORTUNATELY SO & MY INFINITE ENERGY CODE DON'T EVEN WORK.

Ps4 release.. ?
LED it's pretty obvious who he is Greg The Hammer Valentine he looked exactly like him and Greg The Hammer Valentine never faults are in the WWE he always cheated with some type of weapon or he could be Ric Flair
Never owned a AES
I hate it when Neo Geo games look so stiff like this
LOL not even on PS5 WWE 2k21 you can’t lift people and throw them to a wrestler
Did you KILL Leo Bradlay? :/

Did you use autofire?
Nope. My fingers and the side of my hand were pretty raw by the end, though.
@@NintendoComplete great job👍
@@DGJX Thanks!
So Abdullah the Butcher is from Mexico I guess in this game
I can't beat 3rd round even i turn down the difficulty to lv1....
No way to win during grapple time
You have to beat on your opponent before grappling. The more you can hit them, the more the grapple meter will be pushed in your favor.

このゲームは、なぜ続編やリメイク出てこないのでしょうか？同時に、なぜ
KOFとか他の作品にこのゲームのキャラが出演できないのでしょうか…？キャラ達のデザインのせいでしょうか…？
覚えている限りでは、このゲームと同じ会社の他ゲームとの関わりとして、餓狼伝説のライデンと関わりのあるキャラがいた。はるか未来の時代の設定の風雲シリーズでも「SWF」は存在している。KOFの椎拳崇が、ザ・レッドドラゴンのファン、という設定。…このくらいでしょうか？
もっとこのゲームのキャラや設定が日の目を見るといいな、と思います。
I couldn't figure out thie game at all
Re?
I likely it
It's street fighter, but everyone is Zangief
Who the F'ing F thought this was a good idea?
Everyone hates zangief!
Sir it's a wrestling game, of course it's going to have wrestlers.
And also Zangief is awesome watchu mean.
