@TaygetaVendetta

Thanks, I usually turn the 'smoothing' options off on ALL older games as it makes the game 'look funny', I even turn the original sprites on SFIIHDR, although the backgrounds are still in HD. I LOVE good pixels, but I also like good vector-image work. I love the way SNK is doing the King of Fighters XII - 3D models, then frame-by-frame handdrawn animation - true devotion. The animation is totally awesome which makes it a must have. SSII play eludes me, I can barely get in a round before I'm invited to go play something else within seconds. :(

@Rolodzeo

I hope not. Even though I have like 6 controllers (three that work, three that don't), I don't want to fight myself. But then it gives me a chance to 'mess around', though not everyone have two controllers or have a reason to have two controllers.

@Tekkie neXt

I'm waiting patiently. (whispering) "photon-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n..... canon-n-n-n-n-n-n-n..."

I hope the demo won't be exclusive to those who have two gamepads.

BF1943 is till TBA with regards to release date, but it should be out within a few weeks.

Marvel vs Capcom 2 "should" be out next week, I say should because some places have it dated for the 29th which is Monday, yet neither PSN or XBLA games come out on Mondays, Wednesdays for us and I think Thursdays for the PS3.

LordBBH: Being filed under "Audio" may not be an error. The first person I play against has a pretty good chance of hearing lots and lots of "Justice Hurricane!" yells from my Tizoc in Garou, so I think it counts as an Audio-related post.

...Okay, so I'm being silly. Oh well.

Garou = best Neo Geo Fighter. Can't wait to play with GATO

@WarrenG - The SNK ports to XBLA so far have been 100% faithful to their MVS/AES counterparts. Only thing you may have noticed about how "smooth" SamSho II ran on XBLA (or Fatal Fury Special) is that they use a smoothing option by default, making the sprites seem a little smudged (I don't mind it myself, its an alright filter), but you can turn it off in the options menu.

@DoubleOT Major mentioned on his podcast that Sorry Sliders is in fact coming for Hasbro Family Game Night this week.

@TaygetaVendetta

Exactly, I want Garou on my Neo Geo AES and I'll be comparing the Neo Geo version vs the Xbox360 Neo Geo Emulation. SSII is cool, but is not as fluid as the Neo Geo System's animation - though I settle for Samshow I, Art of Fighting and Fatal Fury on SNES. I thought Samurai Shodown on 3DO was AWESOME until I was called-out (like you just said) and compared the 3DO version to the actual Neo Geo version. Neo Geo's animation was like 10x better, hands down. I've played Garou before, but I think I can get that for like $150 if I look around hard enough. I really want Shock Troopers, but seems 'scalpers' and 'ebay squatters' know it, that one I doubt would not be hard to emulate.

I just hope the Xbox Live version of Garou is smooth - not in-game processing, but actually uses the Xbox360 processor. Once you play an original, an emu is just like secondhand spit, unless it is a deadon emu. "Ewww god, no they didn't..." (I know you've been there.)

I'll be saving my points for battlefield 1943. If it comes out next week or next month I'm not going to spend any points untill so. Microsoft thinks by only telling people this weeks games that people are more likely to spend the points. Not me.

@Makavelo - You can basically all ports on emulation for free, but its illegal and kind of a moot point.

@Warrengonline

Garou is considered by many to be one of, if not the, best of SNK's games. Its animation quality and visuals put everything else on the Neo Geo system to shame.

Was hoping for Sorry Sliders, it seems the last Wednesday of the month has had additions to Family Game Night.

Very interesting. I'll be looking forward to these!
