Call me lame.. Guilty Gear X. Enough said.
I was a fan of the unit and almost bought into it after the Neo Geo was discontinued so I could pop it into my MVS Cab. Ive only played Metal Slug 6 and KOFXI. Great system. Is yours consolized?
In the early 2000s, I used to play games at my local arcade, Animation Town, almost every weekend. Just about as soon as it was out they got a copy of The Rumble Fish. I'd play it a few games whenever I went down there and would generally have nobody to play it with. The owner was a pretty cool guy and would play whatever game you were playing if nobody was playing with you. If he won a match he'd even put more tokens in the machine for you. He was just about the only guy who ever played Rumble Fish with me.
I liked the game well enough and a year or so later I asked the owner if he was going to buy the sequel. He responded something along the lines of "If anyone else asked I'd slap them." I always wanted to play the second Rumble Fish game but it never got a port anywhere.
Anyway, I always thought Atomiswave was pretty cool. Heh, I haven't thought about one in a while. Maybe I'll pick one up at some point so that I can finally get around to playing Rumble Fish 2.
I love the Fist of the North Star/Hokuto No Ken fighting game. It's pure fan service all the way, with the finishing moves, background details, etc. I had dreamt of an HnK fighting game like that for years and when it finally came out, it far exceeded even what I had imagined. A definite must for any HnK fan.
I always found the Atomiswave to be pretty ''meh''. Some fun can be had with it, but not enough to be worth owning imo. As for games, I'd say Rumble Fish 2 is the most interesting one.
I've got a consolized AW and about 5 games, I love the thing. Fist of the North Star is everything I love about fighting games, and Dolphin Blue is awesome. The system's worth keeping around for just those two.
I've actually been kinda wanting one. Hokuto no Ken is mainly why.
I like samsho6 plenty, and always wanted to get into HnK, unfortunately my atomiswave's motherboard is pretty much scuppered :(
I had one and most the games for a while. Got kind of tired with it and the games don't look too good in my low res candy cabs. Also that fan is so loud!
I had a AW mobo and a few games(Fist, NGBC and Valour) a while back but ended up selling like Punkic did. I do still borrow one for cons to run FotNS, Rumble fish 2 and sometimes Dolphin Blue. It's definitely much better to run on a Hi-rez cab. But I have no interest is owning one again.
Joey Tran brought his mobo with RF2 to Summer Jam this year.
I had a mobo and was planning on getting Dolphin Blue for it, but after I had a chance to actually play it in Japan, I was pretty disappointed with it and ended up selling the mobo off. I feel like the platform could have had a chance but it just came out too late.Now I want one just for Dophin Blue. :P
I was thinking of getting one for HnK. Love that game, and Arc did an amazing job with it (why can't this be done with a DBZ game) Anyway, a buddy of mine may have one in a storage unit he is willing to sell to me, hopefully i find out soon. I just got myself a vega jr. control box (supergun) So i'm going to be diving into a lot of arcade stuff.
