  • The next game in our Neo Geo survey, NGH-029, Legend of Success Joe /Ashita no Joe Densetsu, is based on the anime and manga, Tomorrow's Joe. Is this the worst Neo Geo game of all time?
    Special thanks to Jenovi! Check out Jenovi's channel, Retro Impressions here:

    When the review is better than the game lol. I sound like a broken record but again, great job as usual, Alec.
    Jenovi showing up being all "my precious" about the Neo CD was a fun bit too.

    I genuinely like this game. It can get frustrating in later stages, but like in most games, you can learn the patterns and correct responses, amd itcan be played with some skill. Boxing games in general have struggled through the years, but at least this game tries some interesting storytelling, and can feel pretty satisfying when it all comes together.
    I wouldn't try to convince anyone that it's amazing, but for the right audience, there's something there. I really wish I could find an AES copy at a good price, but those days have sailed. I'll just have to stay on MVS.

    Another top notch video by you Alec. I actually have Legend of Success Joe for the AES. I remember buying it at an import store for $100 bucks when I started collecting for the home console. The owner of the store said it was a horrible game and said nobody was willing to spend the money on it...Being a sucker for unfavorable games, I figured to buy it for the collection. Truthfully, I think there's much worst, I mean this isn't even going to win E3's "Game of the Show" but I think its okay!. A 6/10 in my books. 8^)
    Also Alec, glad to see you posting back on your Neo-Geo review thread bro. Members are already showing there likes again on there and a pleasure seeing back on doing so bro. 8^)

    I thought this game was a crappy homebrew the first time I tried it. I couldn't believe this was an actual release.
    However, that punch out clone looks like it might be cool. They should have used that perspective, it might have been cool to have a boxing game that looks like super spy 🤔🤔.

    • @BasementBrothers
      @BasementBrothers  2 роки тому +3

      I didn't weigh in on any of the games other than the Neo Geo and SNES ones, but yeah, I think that 1990 arcade game from Wave is probably the best of the bunch. Interesting system and animation cues, like Punch Out. The Konami PS2 game is pretty bad, and I don't think the GBA one is great either. I wouldn't mind trying the typing game though.

      Nope. My brother and I bought most of our MVS collection $20-$30 in the mid 2000's. There was only a handful that we paid more than $100 for to complete the collection. Anyone who thinks all Neo Geo collectors are rich hasn't met MVS collectors.

    Dude... where did you get the english dub of Ashita No Joe (evidenced by the clips)? I thought that the original English Dub was lost??? I remember that it was going to come over to the United States as “Rocky Joe”; but the dubbing studio opted out after watching the ending (which I will not spoil for those who are interested into getting into the anime) after being curous about the source material itself. I’ll admit, if it wasn’t for this game, I wouldn’t have gotten into what I think is one of-if not the GREATEST sports anime ever.
    Thank you for the review!

      Really, you want that? Again, the reason this doesn't get re-released for anything is the Ashita no Joe license. People gots to get paid. It's much cheaper for SNK to re-release games that they fully own the rights to. I'd be curious to know whether SNK currently owns the rights to the game itself.

    I think this game was meant to be released on a different weaker arcade hardware and ported to the neo geo very late in development. Where are the neo geo hardware strengths in this game? It is odd that scaling is never used.
