Are all Neo Geo Games as hard as hell or am I just Rubbish

[antonycatton1]

I've just had a extremely good session on Nam 75 and I have to say I died that many times its incredible,Ive also found alot of other games on my X difficult too so I was wondering are all neo geo games extremely difficult and what in your opinion is the most difficult game on the X or AES??

[danthor]

Yup! They by and large are simply hard as hell! Which is why is could be a pretty big deal if you got good enough at a game to 1cc it (1 credit complete) For this reason, the ability to save your game (AES memory card, NGCD built in memory, NGX save ability from the update) is a huge aid to actually beating a game. This is one of the reasons I still love Neo Geo gaming so much. You can't just get good over a weekend, you gotta really dig in there for a good long while! You'll gradually do better each time, but it's so worth it, and addicting if you love challenge as I do! Some of the hardest games I've played;

Nam1975
Magician Lord
Last Resort
Pulstar
Art of Fighting 2 (this might actually be the hardest game I've ever played. To this day, even with save games, or even credit feed, I still can't beat it. It's the only game in my NeoGeo collection I have never beaten)

I thought I'd get frustrated by constantly dying but its so addictive trying to get that little bit further without using a continue.its like the system is pushing you to get better and better(even on the easiest settings)in that respect its much like dark/demon souls on ps3/360 in my opinion.i assume the MVS difficulty setting the most difficult then??

Most arcade games in general are pretty tough. I'd say one of the toughest Neo Geo games is Magician Lord.

[antonycatton1]

Gotta agree that Magician Lord is abit on the difficult side.

Welcome to Neo Geo that's one of the qualities I've loved most about these games, and why I still keep coming back to them!

Does anyone know if the cheats for bosses ect that use to work on AES versions of the games work on these,there's supposedly boss codes for ninja masters and some other beat em ups but I've not tried any.(my ninja masters is still sealed).

They are definitely hard, even on easy mode! =)

Your certainly right there,at the minute I'm stuck getting past ? on AOF,that masked guys doing my head in.

The most reliable way I've found to beat Mr Karate at the end of AoF, is to use off the wall jump kicks. Like, jump away towards the wall, and then jump off that wall towards him with a jump kick. Timing can be tricky, but with practice, you'll take him down.

I'm really liking Last Resort but it seems to be crazy hard. haha.

It is astounding how hard Neo Geo games are. Hardest game to me is 3 Count Bout. To win a grapple you have to be Superman. Never got past the third guy on that one.
I've had an MVS and thought I'd bring my skills to this little Neo X but said skills do not pay bills. Samurai Showdown 2, got to the boss on easy and almost had a heart attack. Sweaty hands and shaky nerves, that is Neo gaming for ya. Can't wait for the update.

[neogenesis]

I can't get past that 3rd guy in 3 Count Bout either, and that was on easy. haha.

[vampyremike]

I beat 3 Count on Easy, but took a lot of switching of characters and learning the moves and when to cheese the NPC. IMO, the game is good but the grapple system could have been SO much better and easier, then it would be awesome =)

[antonycatton1]

I can't even get past the first round.lol
