MVS choices, choices...

[BEBOPlover]

I'm new to the PCB/MVS scene. I had Dangun Feveron on "layaway", but I didn't realize that Netvigator.com had a three day waiting policy, so my highly anticipated Cave shooter is in some bastard's hands now. I hope it's a fake.

Regardless, I have 100.00 credit to spend and none of the PCB's interest me, so I'm gonna go after an MVS or two. I narrowed it down to these.

Aero Fighters 2
Aero Fighters 3
Blazing Star (Heavily leaning towards)
King of Fighters 95-2002
Shock Troopers
Shock Troopers 2
Ninja Master
Metal Slug X
Last Blade 2

Basically I like action and shooters. Which is the best King of Fighters? And do I need an MVS of Metal Slug X when I have part 2 and 3 already? Does Ninja Masters suck ass? How are Shock Troopers.

Any help would be great.

if you can get your hands on it, i'd go with shock troopers, just because i can't seem to find it anywhere.

Shock Troopers 1 is supposed to be fantastic. Shock Troopers 2 is supposed to be quite good. I'd go with ST1.

I think KOF '98 is the best, or maybe '97. The only one i haven't played is 2002. Personally, I'd go with Blazing Star out of that list. But for a cheap MVS cart, you can't beat Blues Journey.

Metal Slug X = The best 'slug game. Best level length, difficulty just overall "fun" imho.

If you don't mind your KoF games a little sparse on story, go with KoF'98.

LB2 is also a great game, though, if you don't have a KoF, I'd say get one of them first.

LB2, KOF '98, Blazing Star!

Get Blazing Star first. You won't regret it

Other must haves (IMO):

Zupapa (single screen platform action - I love it)
Magical Drop 3 (best puzzle game ever )

I second the Shock Troopers and Zupapa recommendations

You can't really go wrong with KoF98 or Blazing star either..

Last Blade 2 is the best fighter ever in my opinion. But Blazing Star is amazing if your into shooters, replay value up the wazoooo.

You absolutely have to get Blazing Star. It is the greatest shooter on the Neo by far, and easily one of the all time best. After that I'd recommend either Metal Slug X or Last Blade 2. Personally I think X is the best of the MS series... and Last Blade 2 is still one of the greatest fighting games ever.
