In all honesty, Waku has some of the soundest mechanics of all Neo Geo games. Why it ends up being so special though, is a result of super tight gameplay. While it offers a few unique mechanics, it’s mostly what you’d expect from an SNK fighter. As indicated in the title itself, the game features seven playable characters (with an additional two if you’re playing the versus component) and feels both familiar and new in terms of gameplay. What do you get when you cross anime with a conventional 2D fighter? Why Waku Waku 7, of course! WW7 is one of the lesser known fighters on the Neo Geo (which is a travesty, by the way), yet it’s absolutely delightful. After all, we’ve played so much NAM-1975 that we’re having war flashbacks and so much Mutation Nation that we’re having nightmares. From The Last Blade to Bust-a-Move, these ten titles represent the best genres the Neo Geo platform has to offer and would make perfect additions to the console via game cards. As yesterday marked the one month anniversary of the release of the Neo Geo X, we thought it would be the perfect time to reflect on what games we’re most anxious to play next.
