AES+ - what games are you getting?

[chubsta]

As per the title, just wondering what games people are picking up on release, I’m going for Pulstar but am tempted by Big Tournament Golf and Twinkle Star Sprites so will probably get one of those too.
A few months down the line I’m hoping for releases of League Bowling, Ghost Pilots and Neo Driftout.

May get Metal Slug but want to know if it will work on my Neo Geo first.

 

[Stokers]

It's at this stage where I would normally say

 

[Vorbis]

Sonic and super mario world 😁

On a slightly more serious note I've pre ordered the anniversary version with Metal slug and a copy of Big tournament but depending on how long the pre order stays open I may bite the bullet and go with the ultimate edition.

 

[Brettster]

Went for the Ultimate and the White 35th packs.

 

[CMYKhazi-Dan]

Ultimate and Anniversary – think that covers it for now 😃

I’m just getting Garou. Neo stuff Masterd would be good as it’s got the Scotland course too (I refuse to call it big tournament golf) - I have everything on the MVS already so it feels silly to double dip… but oh well!

 

[jerryspaghetti]

Double dipping is the spice of life!

 

[Brettster]

Tripple dipping here if you include the joke that was NeoGeo X

 

[battlechasers]

i have gone for the ultimate. I really hope more games are released with extra content like the golf game. I know we are all hoping our favourite games are released. My personal ones are ASO2, windjammers, blazing star, mutation nation, burning fight, and kof98. I think for price, a cart, printed insert (see if they are to Ollies standard!) and of course, the clip cases- which i havent seen as an aftermarket thing- is bargain at 70 quid.

Neo Geo X is like fight club…

Forgot about that… it’s in the cupboard somewhere! It had a nice clicky stick, that’s about all the praise I can give it!

 

[John Bennett]

None as I've read the carts don't work on an old MVS (showing my AES ignorance, I know).
Otherwise Pulstar would've been tempting as I'm too lazy/cheapskate to get a flash cart.

Are people really wanting stuff like Magician Lord? Seem a bit like getting excited over Altered Beast.

 

[Brettster]

I actually really like Magician Lord, music is great too

 

[John Bennett]

You were better off with Revenge of Shinobi on the Megadrive for 1/10th the price, though (or I thought).

Magician Turd and Overtop are the duffers in the bundle in my opinion. The rest are fantastic choices.

I ended up ordering the bundle. By the time I was looking at an extra joystick and four games I thought I might as well. Hopefully there's at least a wave 2 of games and I'll swap in couple of better titles to the massive fancy box.

Yes they already asked the question on twitter the other day "what does everyone want to see in wave 2".

Just the fact they are intending to put out a ‘wave 2’ is great news, hopefully not too fighter based this time but I suppose that is the majority of the games in the library.

I think there will be quite a few waves of games. Exciting times.

Maybe a long shot but I'm hoping they can make a deal with the likes of NGDev and Bitmap Bureau.

NGDev said they aim to produce carts for availability to AES+ buyers but honestly I'd be much much more interested if they pursued a production partnership with Plaion. £69 licenced new games please. I really don't care if it's flash memory on a small PCB instead of crazy rom banks.
