Crouching Pony Hidden Dragon - new Neo Geo run & gun

Post by system11 »

Yeah, just had this pointed out to me.

A few parts look OK, some parts look really less than OK, and someone suggested the coin graphics may be stolen from Guwange.

Yours for only 389 euros (reduced from 498). Uhhhhhh.

Heard it was quite odd. Not enough to attract my interest, even if it's a homebrew release.

Thank you.

They have taken everything I love about the Neo Geo and promptly ruined it.

Fuck. I mean, that has got to be one of the ugliest games I've seen in a long time.

It looks like the main character is shooting beams out of his (her???) dick at many points during the video.

If anything, I am inspired to become a neo geo homebrew developer and scam people like these developers.

Looks like one of those games you rent as a kid on the SNES and it ends up being a total pile of ass, and you return it the next day ..

I at least thought a game based on My Little Pony, would be cute. This looks hideous. I hate the character's running animation. It's just messed up looking.

Wow. Before I watched, I was almost sure that you folks were probably being a bit too elitist/harsh.

I fully apologize. That is some absolute dreck, there. I'd be ashamed to be associated with anything that appears to be that hideous.

The screenshots at the game's website look a bit better, but still not enough to make it look like a good game.
No matter how good a game is, somebody will always hate it. No matter how bad a game is, somebody will always love it.

I seriously can't get that image of the demo video out of my head. I've been thinking about it all night and have found myself pissed off. And that name! Ugh.

Cave fans should like the slow bullets.
I don't mind the graphics, but the gameplay looks a bit irritating.

I thought it was going to be a porn game starring asians from the title. In a world with Shock Troopers who needs this.

There is already a porno called Crouching Shemale, Hidden Penis. Much better title in my opinion.

Haha. I have to wonder what the fuck is up with having Daisuke Jigen running around the locales of One Piece and throwing tea cookies* that makes it especially deserving of association with Crouching Tiger and the MLP franchise.

It doesn't get much more random than this.

* yes I know what they're supposed to be. They're actually tea cookies.

I'm undecided if the player character is supposed to be an actual pony, or a guy in a pony costume. The weird running animation suggests you are controlling a furry enthusiast.

Both possibilities are equally disturbing.

Will the broken-leg kick (see where he attacks some boxes) decisively sway the analysis?

Face it, chaps - the running animation looks like Turrican.

I never was a fan of Turrican's run animation, but successive games improved that - and no Turrican game had sprites as poorly designed as these. There's a nasty white outline around the player character, for goodness sake, like it was cut out of a modeling package with a bright background, and not edited.

Laughing my ass off because of awesomeness.

Not sure if "cool" is the word, but I doesn't make me feel anxious. Looks like some homebrew, which I'm pretty sure it happens to be.
