And with the Atomiswave (which is esssentially a Dreamcast, but with carts), 'better 2d' is exactly what they will do... :)
And OB1, I wonder about you too. Can you have fun playing old games, without thinking really about their technical merits, or are you one of those people whoe are always saying 'well this is okay but I would like it more with better graphics'... you may profess to be the formers sometimes but you sure act like you're in the latter category. Kind of sad.
Okay so these Neo-Geo games are curernt games with these graphics, but if they're still fun... okay, if you pay like $300 for one of them it seems at bit absurd, granted, but despite the fact that for instance Metal Slug's gameplay has been the same through six versions now, the game is still immensely fun to play and the graphical style great so who cares? Oh sure they aren't the most high res 2d but if the game is fun and the graphics look cool (stylistic and funny in MS's case), I don't care much. :)
Though I will be interested to see what they do with better hardware, of course. They couldn't coast on the Neo much longer and while similar games are fun for a while it does get old after a while... I think they'd run out of ideas for the Neo, and definitely run out of any power to push the games arny farther, so this is definitely a good move.
