SNK's Best Game?

[GodofHardcore]

I got to pondering this last night. After playing a round of Sengoku 3 (one of the best Beat em ups ever)

I asked around the consensus seems to be Metal Slug 3, Garou, and Samurai Shodown 2.

Crystalis also got a few mentions.

I'm gonna poll here. These games almost always come up in a disucssion about SNK.

Garou all the way!

What no Vanguard, Psycho Soldier or Ikari? Don't give me the never played them excuse. :P

[cez]

Did you mean "Pulstar" or is it just too early in the morning?

[GodofHardcore]

What no Vanguard, Psycho Soldier or Ikari? Don't give me the never played them excuse. :P

Shit I forgot about those. File them under "Other"

Vanguard though I can't say I've played.

kof '98 for me.

[GodofHardcore]

2002 is as good as 98 but UM does has Eiji so.......

yeah tie between those two for best KOF

[Jamtex]

Vanguard was SNKs first classic game.

BTW the last time I looked Alpha Denshi (ADK), Aicom, Noise Factory weren't SNK (or at least weren't when they wrote the games mentioned...) bit like putting Puzzle Bobble in the list as it first appeared on the Neo Geo

Ikari

never got too into SNK's fighters. They're always so unbalanced that they aren't too fit for competetive play. But Metal Slug 3 is one of my favorite games ever

Considered Fatal Fury 4, Garou is easliy one of the best 2D fighting games ever to come from SNK. The gameplay in general is rock solid and the characters are incredibly well balanced, not to mention memorable and overflowing with personality. Garou was clearly made to compete with Capcom's Street Fighter 3 series. Not only does Garou maintain the awesome fluid animation that could rival SF3 or AOF3, but it sports some highly addicting and strategic gameplay, in which "button-mashers" have absolutly no chance against seasoned vets.

That pretty much says it all.

Garou : Mark Of the Wolf for Me ;)

[Borman]

Last Blade 1 for me, so I voted other.

[alphagamer]

Metal Slug 3 with a slight lead over the others, but in general SNK delivered class.

[Tatsujin]

but if your write "SNKs best game" it's just not true at all ;)

[subbie]

I voted for last blade 2 (i maybe liked 1 a little more but both are solid). Nods to Garou & Kof 98.

Not sure why the massive love for MS3. I always though most felt 2 or X was the better metal slug?

[Tatsujin]

i always felt that MS3 was the best metal slug :)

[GodofHardcore]

Metal slug 3 was epic that's why.

I do love X though.

[lherre]

Garou for me.
