Top 25 Neo Geo Games of All Time

- The Neo Geo by SNK has always been an amazing and intriguing system. It was nicknamed "The Rolls Royce" of videogame consoles back in its day in regards to its arcade perfect graphics and very steep price tag. To this day though those graphics still hold up quite decently in the face of obviously more power hardware.
I remember seeing the system along side $150-$300 games at game stores in the malls and was in shock and awe simultaneously. But at least I was able to play alot of those awesome games in the arcades. Each cabinet had several games to choose from which was nice. I'm sure others share a similar experience and memories from that time.
In this video we count down 25 of the best Neo Geo games. As always, this list is not my personal favorites. It's a list compiled based on various sources. Thank you in advance! And hopefully you enjoy it. #neogeo #snk #top25 #retrogaming #oldschoolgaming #retro #retrogamingcapsule #retrogames #neogeogames #neogeoaes #neogeomvs #snkcorporation

The PS4 was the last modern console ive bought...going back to retrogaming and never coming back ever...goodbye dlc and internet updates😂😂😂
Nothing beats retro gaming. Thank you for watching!
Same
Exactly the same. I do have a switch though. For retro compilations and the occasional Nintendo game.
I remember seeing the Neo-Geo games in videogame magazines back then and just being in awe of how much better all the games looked on there...not just graphically but in terms of potential fun also.
Oh believe me I know the feeling! Back in those days videogame magazines were our portal into another awesome world of gaming. No Google! No nothing! Those magazines are iconic. And the elrectronic/game stores too! Thank you for watching!
They had to be because if you factor inflation in, Neo Geo is to this day the most expensive console ever released. It would cost more than u.s. 1400$ to get one new nowadays, and games would be around 400$ each.
I never in my life met anyone who owned one of these. They were like unicorns growing up.
Neither did I. They nicknamed it the "Rolls Royce" of videogame game consoles back in the day for a reason. Thank you for watching!
lmao, exactly
Same, but my friends and I rented it on a few occasions from the video store. That was quite the event. We had to refuse kids at the door. I purchased one around 2 years ago to complete my console collection.
@@acharat6 that is an awesome story bro. Talk about recapturing your childhood.
I had one. It ate all my part time job money. I worked for weeks in a furniture store just to buy Viewpoint.
To be honest it was way better as an arcade system than a home console. The games had very little depth. I got bored easily with most.
The SNES was the better home console.
NeoGeo is one of the most underrated console ever, words cannot express how much i love this console and series produced by SNK, you got yourself a new subscriber for being man of culture
Thank you for the kind words! I appreciate you watching my video! SNK as a whole is very underrated. They've produced some of the very best games ever! The Neo Geo has always fascinated me. I remember seeing it at the game stores and just being wowed. Fun times!
@@RetroGamingCapsule i'm not from this era of cosnoles, but ever since i saw this console and games it had i just had to see it for myself, i own many snk games on playstation and gonna buy neogeo as soon as i have enough money
That's awesome!
was never "underrated" . it was overly expensive. SNK knew it; and so did the people that bought the system. neogeo had so many awesome arcade games. i think the best games were the platformers and fighting games and beatemups.
@@ChickenMcThiccken agree, for me king of fighters, fatal fury, and art of fighting are superior to mortal kombat or tekken, characters are just too damn good
I can not believe this console went by me like that. Seeing it now for the first time in action, I am astounded by the pure gameplay and graphics and charme of so many Neo Geo games. This will becomenone of my favourite systems for sure. I grew up a die hard PSX and Dreamcast Fan. Recently I found much love for the Saturn. And now this. So much Arcade flair, so many titles that are perfect for coop or versus couch play .. I love it. Damn the sprites and 2D zooming features!!!!
@@lorefriendlygamerbeyourself it's awesome that you were able to discover the Neo Geo! It's an incredible system. And certainly a fan favorite of many around the world. Thank you for watching the video! Maybe consider checking out some of the other ones on here.
Look at how cool the fighting games look in this console in particular!
Thank you for checking it out! Yes, they're graphical styles are amazing.
I have most of these games for my Neo Geo AES home console. Got a Neo Geo when it launched. It's still my favorite system after all these years.
Awesome! The Neo Geo is special! Thanks for watching!
Enjoyed this, and your other videos.
Thank you for the kind words! I'm glad you've enjoyed them. I definitely enjoy making them for everyone. I will be uploading more soon. Thanks again!
I am from Iran, and whenever old games are discussed among adult gamers, they only say one word: Sega Genesis!! While in my country there were never consoles like snes and neo geo etc. but for me neo geo is very valuable and I always wanted to have one of these......💔. I apologize for the poor wording, I used a translator
No worries my friend! Your wording is perfectly fine. Yes, the Neo Geo has always been a very interesting topic. The Sega Genesis is fantastic as well. Different regions tend to favor certain consoles over others. The SNES and Genesis were the dominant systems back in the 90's in the states. But the Neo Geo really took everyone by surprise. The price tag was really the only issue for both the console and the game cartridges. Had it been priced better, we probably would've seen a "Big 3" console race back in 16-Bit days. Although the Neo Geo wasn't marketed as a "16-Bit" machine, in the end it was. Thank you for checking out my video! I have a few more on my channel that you may enjoy. Plus I will be uploading my next video very soon.
Amazing video. Thanks for uploading. 😊
Thank you for the kind words! I appreciate you checking out my video! I definitely enjoy making them! I just uploaded the SNES video that may interest you. Plus I have more coming.
@@RetroGamingCapsule My pleasure, it was a perfect Tio25 imo, I will be exploring more of your conten for sure, but the SNES (and NES) happens to be some of few consoles I'm not really interested in, sorry about that. But I can see you have loads of other great content so I'll be seeing you around for sure. (I'm collecting Saturn, Dreamcast, PC Engine, Neo Geo, PS2&3 ), Wonderswan and a few arcade boards)
The bosses in Metal Slug games really show off the Neo Geo's graphics performance. In 1993 After a year the games came down in price I got Fatal Fury for £77 and Samurai Showdown for £120 the big problem with it was I couldn't afford to buy all the must have games. it was more expensive to buy an Amiga.
Thank you for watching! The Metal Slug series really show off the system's capabilities. I too enjoy watching the absolutely crazily detailed bosses.
Most of the people in the world could not afford this console, it was designated only for a specific niche market, maybe they wanted to promote with it their arcade machines which was their golden goose at the time, obviously it was a wrong marketing strategy since they lost to Sega and Nintendo who were focusing on the affordable home gaming consoles.
I love Neo Geo ❤
Thank you for checking out my video! Yes, the Neo Geo was and still is a very fascinating system. Its graphics still hold up decently til this day.
@@RetroGamingCapsuleYeah, NEO-GEO is a BEAST
Garou Mark Of The Wolves should've been number 1, its by far the best Neo Geo game of all time.
Thanks for watching and the feedback!
Brilliant owning every single one including the hyper 64 is a gaming level of greatness syndrome and all well done
Awesome!!! Thank you for watching the video!
I obviously could never afford neo geo as a kid back then, and surprisingly still haven't gotten around to finding a emulator for it. Probably the only console that I really want to play that I haven't gotten around to. Always thought it looked amazing, then and now.
Yea it's held up quite nicely over the years. And don't feel bad, 99.9% of us couldn't afford it either.
Glad to see Viewpoint in this list. I can't take anyone seriously if this game is missing when talking about best Neo Geo games.
It looks, sounds and plays so much better than any other shoot em up of the era.
Thank you for watching and the feedback!
Neo Geo la mejor consola de todos los tiempos, todos los juegos son una obra maestra, solo los pude jugar en las Recreativas, en los años 90, eso si que fueron juegazos, la unica pega que desapareciera esta genial consola, fueron los precios elevadisimos de la consola 100.000 pesetas y los cartuchos de entre 25.000 y 50.000 pesetas 😱😱😱😱😱, si ahora existiera la consola y los juegos costarían el doble, o el triple, por el maldito euro, menuda ruina 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤗👍
Gracias por ver el video! El Neo Geo es una maravilla de consola! Pero claro demasiado de muy caro cuando lanzo. Pues ahora por lo menos es mas acesible los juegos.
@@RetroGamingCapsulede nada 🤗 , pues si, ahora no sé cuánto costaran los juegos de Neo Geo, ya que son juegos retro, y por las webs, a lo mejor lo consigues a buenos precios y a veces no 😁😁😁😁😁, claro depende de la calidad del juego, y Neo Geo no había ningún juego malo 🤗👍
Bueno los originales son caros todavia por la mayoria. Pero hay coleciones de Neo Geo en otras consolas que por lo menos se pueden jugar y son bastante como los originales.
@@RetroGamingCapsule 👏👏👏👏👏🤗👍
Great list! Only thing I would change would be Shock Troopers 1 instead of 2. Even the graphics are better in the first one. The second has this pre-rendered 3d look that didn't age so well. Classic neo geo pixel art is timeless.
Thank you for watching and the feedback! And yes the Neo Geo was and still is an amazing console. Always good to see what others think.
Neo geo was without a doubt the Ferrari and Porsche of the gaming industry as far as amazing performance and ludicrous price. I wonder how many people in the world had this console with all the available games and not “just” few games.
So does that make the Sega Genesis the DeLorean of gaming for its "Blast Processing"? Thanks for watching!
@@RetroGamingCapsule The Genesis and Nintendo were miles behind the Neo Geo, there is no comparison. Blast processing? Not so sure about that, Nintendo had better performance as far as graphics are concerned. Both were cheaper and accessible, that’s why they were more popular
@@JamesBond-gg4wg "Blast Processing" was nothing more than a marketing strategy for Sega. It worked though. It was a way to show that Genesis did what Nintendidn't. And yes, Neo Geo was in a class of its own.
You are right that they had better marketing strategies, I was a genesis supporter by the way and had a bitter arguments with one of my friends who had Super Nintendo about which console was superior, the moment these consoles came out it was the beginning of the end for the arcade golden era, unfortunately for Neo Geo they realized it too late, the Neo Geo cd came out too late and it was already outdated compared to the other consoles. My point is Neo Geo could have had few more years of glory if they changed direction from the arcade market faster as the competition did, even without showboating with cheesy marketing they would have taken over the market.
Neo Geo, the only expensive console that was actually worth it.
Shots fired! I'm sure the 3DO feels some type of way about this comment 😒. Thanks for watching! 🤣
@@RetroGamingCapsule Haha, I do like the 3DO.
@@nickc4087 🤐
@@nickc4087 I should be adding some 3DO content at some point. We'll see what kind of bang for our buck we got back in 1993 for $699.99. 🤣
My parents struggled to get me a nintendo so neo geo was out of the question lol
Thank you for watching! The Neo Geo was out of the question for most of us back then. You're not alone.
@velourposton2774 I think the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X has the Arcade Archives as well. I think Steam might have them as well.
Enjoyed every second of this!
🎛🔉🎵🕹🤘🤩🎧📺🎚🔊🎶
Thank you very much for the kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed it! I will be uploading the next video hopefully by today or tomorrow that may interest you.
@RetroGamingCapsule Okay Subscribed 🙏☯️🧘♂️💛
Seeing this made me fire up my pc and dig through my drives of retro games. I find myself ignoring my ps5 and all the new games like Spiderman and a bunch of open world games. Something is missing in new games. Sure they look great but older games are more my taste. It's not all about the graphics. It's about gameplay
That's awesome! I'm with you on that. Nothing beats retro gaming! Thanks for watching!
For those who don't already know, Samurai Shodown RPG (not exact name) has been fully translated in English and was released around early December 2023 if I recall. The Neo Geo version is better than the PSX and Saturn port. There are only 3 or 4 Neo Geo CD exclusives, but from what I heard it probably deserves a spot in the top 25 Neo Geo if you include them in the contest. It's also the only Neo Geo rpg so it's as big deal for fans.
Thank you for watching and the feedback!
had the cartridge Neo Geo first and the CD later, not with many games (they were not easy to find).. the rearranged music in the CD games was fantastic, but loading times were awful!
Thank you for checking out my video! Yes, the Neo Geo CD was released to try an bring down the costs of those extremely expensive cartridges. Not to mention appeal to a broader audience. However, they went with a single speed drive instead of a dual. And of course load times were not great as a result.
Some epic choices but some controversial ones too. Ninja Combat, really? No Mutation Nation, Ninja Commando, King of the Monsters or Neo Bomber Man? I guess we all have our favourites. :)
Thank you for watching! No list is ever 100% perfect though.
@Retro Gaming Console Do you think you can do a showcase video of what Neo Geo games are missing in the Hamster Arcade Archives Neo Geo? I did seen a lot of Neo Geo games appear in the Nintendo Switch eShop, but I don’t know which ones are missing in the list?
Thank you for watching the video! This is an interesting topic. Are you interested in just the Switch or the other platforms as well? My understanding is that Neo Geo has just a little over 100 games released for the Arcade Archives in total. It will be interesting to see if each platform received the full list or were they divided.
@RetroGamingCapsule I was thinking maybe any platforms that have Arcade Archives Neo Geo, but I do wonder what Neo Geo games are missing on Nintendo Switch.
I'll take a look when I get chance. It'll be interesting to see how they were divided.
It wasn't underrated, it's games were just way too expensive.
Thank you for watching! Unfortunately they were very expensive. Each game was like buying a SNES or Genesis.
Merci à Vous 👍
Thank you for watching my video! I appreciate it!
Thank you emulation! Only this way I could play several of these games.
Thank you for watching! Glad you can play these awesome games!
I would replace the first 3 with spin master street hoop matrimelee or rage of the dragon
Thank you for watching! Awesome! Feel free to list your favorites.
What no League Bowling ??? Good video thanks
Thank you! Yea it was one of those games that just missed the cut. There's always tough choices to make when deciding on the final list. But it was a great game to kill some time with.
Neo Turf 👍
Thank you for watching!
Fun Fact: I would say most of these games are on the Nintendo Switch. Its awesome to play these on the go.
I appreciate you checking out my video. Yes it's very possible that they are.
@@RetroGamingCapsule Thanks for putting it together.
I definitely enjoy making them for everyone. I'm working on the next video. And I will continue to upload as frequent as possible. Thanks again!
Neo Geo was ahead of its time😂
It most definitely was! Thank you for checking out my video!
Any time dude
Neo geo the best
Thank you for checking out my video. Neo Geo is definitely an incredible system. It holds up quite nicely even by today's standards. Especially the fighting games.
Good list except number 25 i dont like that game. Also where is Aerofighters 2. Anyway very good games in your list
Thank you for checking out my video! I appreciate your feedback as well. Aero Fighters 2? #26. It just missed out.
Whats the difference between mame and neo geo??
MAME is an arcade emulator. The Neo Geo is an actual home console (AES) and arcade cabinets (MVS). The home consoles versions are arcade-perfect in terms of graphics and sound. The Neo Geo is just one of many arcade systems that MAME (Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator) can emulate. It too can be an arcade cabinet or just software. Thanks for watching!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉
Thank you for watching my video! Neo Geo is awesome!
Nice list, the only well-received NEO·GEO classics that I actually hated were both *Double Dragon* fighting games.
Instead of remaking *DDI, DDII, DD3, & Super DD,* (with versus-modes like the original Famicom port) we get one generic SFII-wannabe based on the lame movie, and a KoF-wannabe that's unofficial to the DD franchise.
Even *Aggressors of Dark Kombat* is more faithful to Double Dragon in terms of competitive gameplay and mechanics.
Thank you for watching my video! I appreciate it! You're 100% correct! They botched it bad. As powerful as the Neo Geo is, especially for that period of time, a killer Double Dragon remake would've been amazing! I think they were just too fixed on the one on one, Street Fighter 2-esque genre.
why this video is not at 60fps ?
Not sure. It was uploaded in 60fps. Thank you for watching.
No samurai showdown?
Samurai Showdown 2 is in there. Thank you for watching the video!
Everybody's entitled to their opinion, but I thought this list was a little ADK heavy. Magician Lord, I can see, but Ninja Combat? I like it (ironically), but it's hardly an example of the best the Neo-Geo has to offer. Also, Shock Troopers 1 is way better than the sequel.
Thank you for giving the video a chance and for your feedback. No list will appeal to everyone 100%.
Good games, but a golf game? Where's Aero Fighters 2 or 3?
Thank you for watching! Neo Turf Masters was one of the best games for the Neo Geo as were the Aero Fighters games. They just didn't make the final list.
Ok, why exactly is SVC: Chaos on here? Out of the abundant library of Neo Geo fighting games where you might even end up with several titles from one franchise on a top list, I don't think SVC: Chaos would be in no top 25 on anyone's list.
Thank you for watching and the feedback. There's plenty of Neo Geo countdowns that may suit you better. But I try an be a bit more balanced without stacking too many of one franchise in there. Take care.
@@RetroGamingCapsule nahhh, gimme an actual reason for sticking that one in there. World Heroes Jet is a better game than that one.
I'm just curious because I was looking at top lists for what to collect next.
Was the criteria of this just one game per franchise because I could’ve just put all the metal slugs, samurai shodowns, KOFs and fatal fury’s and called it a day
Thank you for watching! While I don't necessarily have a 1 game per franchise criteria, I do try to be as fair as I can be. The Neo Geo, like most consoles, has a great but small library of games. And yes, it's mostly known for those phenomenal franchises. I do however have videos with multiple games from the same franchise by the way. Thanks again.
@@RetroGamingCapsule understood you wanting to make the list diverse but seeing just one samsho game, KOF game and metal slug game in their just seems wrong since those games are better than pretty much all of the neo goes library with a few exceptions
The same can be said about the Mario's, Zelda's etc. Either way thank you for checking out the video.
@@RetroGamingCapsule I agree that’s how it should be, the best games should always be on top
Are you kidding me?? Puzzle bobble and sengoku 3 in front of last resort and pulstar 🤣
Thank you for giving the video a chance. No list is 100% satisfactory to everyone.
@@RetroGamingCapsule yes but it's recognize it's in the top list these games
Understandable. Feel free to list your favorites.
Why Ninja Combat? It’s cringe! Why not the far more superior Ninja Commando? It’s more of a blast to play in Co-Op!
Thank God you didn’t put SpinMaster on the list-it has SO limited replay value! Why this overrated platformer makes it onto other lists is unfathomable.
Thank you for watching the video and the feedback. Ninja Commando is a great game too. I went with Ninja Combat. Spinmaster wasn't considered for this list. However, it may make another list for other reasons.
I have them all and a lot more
Playing these games on my rg351v makes a lot of fun!
These games are amazing! Nothing beats playing them in their original forms. Thank you for checking out my video! I have more videos coming.
Same thing with my rg35xx
No kof?
Thank you for watching! KOF is represented in the video.
You forgot to put in the chapters section my friend.
Thank you for the feedback! I will definitely look into that.
