How about a sequel of games we somewhat like? A Superspy sequel with SNKs knowledge of the hardware in 2000? Maybe a Doom style would be possible or different directions to turn around in its rail system with some trickery, and of course more enemy variety and actual guns with much more ammo lol

It would just come off as a poverty FPS, plus there was zero demand for any kind of game like that in the arcades by that point, unless it involved the use of a light gun.

Maybe one released in 1993 could have worked, but definitely not after Doom came out and changed everything.

Doom was pretty expensive tough, getting a PC in 1993

And the Neo-Geo was cheap? ;)

Besides, family computers were obviously able to do a lot more than just play games, and that's usually how parents were able to justify the purchase. Not to mention being able to borrow your friend's floppies or pirating stuff.

Not to mention there were plenty of Doom (inferior) ports that came out on various consoles soon after.

Regardless, releasing a SS sequel in the late 90s would have been a really bad idea.

Neo Drift Out 2: Newer Technology! Still one of my faves to pop in the cab and have a quick couple of runs on. 7 minutes for a full 1cc just isn’t long enough.

Like a few others said, I would have liked to have seen a sequel to Blue’s Journey.

It would of been nice to see an improved sequel released in the mid to late 90s at a point where developers were more knowledgeable about the Neo hardware.

I remember when I was looking to buy my first Neo AES on eBay back around 1999 I really wanted to get Double Dragon because I thought it would be an exact port of the Arcade game. Which obviously it isn't.

I always wanted to see a Crystalis 2 on the Neo. We always needed a true Action Adventure or RPG on the system to round it out.

Have you tried DriftOut: The Hard Order? Fantastic arcade game. Big ol’ sprites like Backfire!.

Ganryu. The Neo-Geo is a light on action platformers, and this is the one that comes to my mind that didn't get a sequel.

I would love to see a sequel to Psycho Soldiers done on the Neo though the original one wasn't on it, it was made by SNK of course. A Neo port of Ikari Warriors, Guerrilla Wars or Time Soldiers sequels, complete with the LS-30 controllers would be nice.

This beyond Ninja Masters 2 it would have been great to get some Pre Neo SNK games with sequels that were Bigger, Badder, Better

YES, Ikari Warriors on Neo with rotaries would be awesome, never going to happen but a man can dream, can't he.

A finished version of RB2 with a few balance tweaks and the story.

Uhh Nam-1976

This is probably a pick for my heart, but ultimately Neo games were just different after that first crop. I'm not sure what a Nam-1976 would have looked or felt like. Nam-1975 in particular feels like it was something in the works from the late 80s that just happened to be released on the Neo. It has a look and feel way more like 80s SNK than Neo Geo era SNK.

The answer is Ninja Masters 2.

Another worthwhile pick for my heart.

But if my brain had to pick something, Neo Drift Out 2 that plays exactly the same but with about 10 times the course variety would be great. Randomize the courses and then organize it like a rally race with stage times and total overall time.

Or League Bowling with a more typical control option. The game is so simplified it starts to feel a bit random. Fun as a diversion, not fun as a challenge like NTM.

I'm going to cheat a bit and say Double Dragon. I say it's cheating, because I want the sequel to be a beat'em up instead of a fighting game. Imagine proper Double Dragon with that distinct Neo Geo visual style.

Yeah it did, Ganryu 2 came out a year or two ago. It’s not for the Neo though and it sucks ass.
Oh, it didn't even cross my mind that this game would get a sequel after all this time. I was just thinking of back in the day. Guess I'll at least look it up and see what it is. Thanks for letting me know.
