Ok I just recently found out that games like Samurai Shodown and Art of Fighting were on the Japanese Sega Saturn. How are they in comparison to the AES/MVS counterpart?

If you have a wii or PS2 look for the samurai shodown anthology instead.You get ss 1-5 on it i use to have ss 3&4 for the saturn,but i sold them years ago since i have both games for my neo-geo cmvs.

There are a few Neo Geo fightes on Turbo CD.  Reasonably good ports, too...

Real Bout Special is my personal favorite Fatal Fury for fighting engine, characters, special moves, background graphics, music and stages. Real Bout 2 comes very close but some of the subtle changes to characters moves and slightly lesser liked backgrounds graphics keep it from beating RBS. I kind of like the line sway system in RB2 better just for not having the going back and forth all the time.

Last Blade 1 and 2 are mandatory must owns, but man do they suffer greatly on the NGCD compared to the cart versions. Still, very playable if using a CDZ console.

No experience on a CDZ, but on a Top Loader with all options on, it's something like 7 mins to actually get in a match.

In the end the thing AoF3 has going for it are the graphics, and the CD version pretty much ruins it.  The screen zooming was completely removed.

7 minutes is a bit of an exaggeration for the toploader running AOF 3, but it does take a while (40 seconds for the first match and a bunch of 12-15 second loads for the cutscenes/intro/win screens). The screen zooming is there in the NGCD, just confirmed it on my CDZ. They just made the characters 20% smaller and took out a few frames of animation. Other than that, AOF 3 on NGCD is still great, especially with the AST and playing it on a CDZ.
