Waku Waku 7

slangman · 26th March 2010

Anybody heard or played this before? It looks quite good and is apparently one of the better Neo Geo fighters.

This is confirmed to come out for the Japanese VC. Sadly NA and PAL may have to wait a while as there was no AES version, although it did come out in arcades.

Neo Geo is starting to get interesting on the VC.

it would be if the PAL conversions weren't a neutered bordered 50Hz mess.

Waku Waku 7 is a Japanese exclusive Neo Geo game...So there is no PAL conversion.

This game is great. If we get it on VC, people won't have to pay for the crappy Sega Saturn port.

Even if there was no PAL version it would still be downgraded to run in 50hz with all the same problems just like Ironclad and the Mega Drive imports.

I agree I have seen the Saturn version and it doesn't sound as good.

That's what they said about Ironclad - 50Hz letterboxed.

Have heard that this is great and that the Saturn version is pretty poor. Pity it will be crippled in PAL land.

Waku Waku 7 is a great game! Try using Slash or Rai, both are really good for starters. The fighting engine is not to complicated with lots of QCF and QCB special moves, but that is exactly what fits the light-heartedness of the atmosphere.

I second the recommendation for Waku Waku 7. It's a smooth fighting game that is easy to get into (great for when you have friends over) and is filled with flash (including the Warning signs before a character launches a super.) From my time with it I'd say it has enough depth (mostly through combo set-ups and different move priorities) that it can last you for quite a while as well.

So, if it comes... get it.

Waku Waku 7 is very fun. I kinda wish the collection that had it was released outside of Japan. Then we could all play it.

YEAH, THAT WOULD'VE...
been nice for everyone, but sadly, not financially viable. I must admit, I have the PS2 Sunsoft comp and it's great! I also have the Saturn version of WW7, and imo, it's nowhere near as bad as PPL are making it out to be. For PPL who haven't played the game before (i.e. on NeoGeo) I doubt they'd be disappointed with playing the Saturn version - well, I wasn't for all these years! It's far from unplayable!

I also (unlike most) really like Galaxy Fight, probably as much as WW7??! I like the weird-ass quirky art-style and the fast paced combat. I like many of the characters too. Golden Done FTW. Many will find this game hard to like (first impressions and all) but I clicked with it quite quickly myself...

You're joking, right? Not financially viable? If you look at every single game SNK has released, none of them are popular in the US nor are any of them financially viable. Most of their games on VC are not financially viable. Face it, SNK just dicked us over on this one. The problem with the Saturn version is that MAME is so easily available, and sometimes you want to see how the original was, and BWAM! You can never look at the Saturn version the same again.
