Is it the series' broken, ugly duckling? Or rather the hidden gem...? Be that as is it may, not much is known or heard about The King of Fighters Neowave, first released for Sammy's Atomiswave in 2004. One year before SNK Playmore released with The King of Fighters 2003 the last installment on the traditional Neo Geo Hardware and bid farewell to a long love story that endured from 1994 to 2003. But did that rather forgotten Dream Match from 2004 do any justice to that history?...



With only a limited release on PS2 and XBOX Neowave not really created a stir. Please be so free to put in your two cents if you've gotten your hands on it - or if you want to start a HSC (wink wink)! Strangely enough in Northern America this game was only released on XBOX, leaving PS2 owners in the rain.

The Game of the Month goes into the second round! This time we cast a glance at a rather obscure title on SNK's short-lived Hyper Neo Geo 64 hardware. Beast Busters: Second Nightmare is SNK's second installment of the Light Gun trilogy, which took its beginnings in 1989 and even got its own spin-off RPG for the Neo Geo Pocket.



The Beast Busters series was indeed one of SNK's rather unremarkable achievements. Although they were absolutely solid games for their time, they totally remained overshadowed by the similar House of the Dead series. How does the second Beast Busters title hold up to Sega's rivaling counterparts? Discuss this and much more in our monthly discussion thread!

Let's celebrate the return of our now monthly presented GOTW (that makes it a GOTM actually) with a rather remarkable crossover title which was released on the Sega Naomi hardware and eventually found its way to the Dreamcast and PSX. At the time of its release, Capcom vs. SNK: Millennium Fight 2000 used to be the wet dream materialization of many SNK and Capcom fans who always wanted to see characters from both franchises beating the crap of each other.



Does this game justice to Capcom and SNK fanboys? Does it even beat the awesomeness that the prior released SNK vs. Capcom: The Match of the Millennium was on the NGPC? Let's discuss this and more in our finally resurrected GOTW/GOTM thread! Don't forget that HSC requests are always more than welcome.
