Wasted opportunity to not have Raiden/Big Bear as a guest from Fatal Fury. Capcom's Saturday Night Slam Masters brought in Mike Haggar from Final Fight. That was a great idea.
@@yeoedwin1619 Ralf, Clark, Jack, Mickey and Johnny aren't wrestlers, AOF2, KOF '94, WH2 and AODK hadn't come out yet by this game's release, and SNK didn't own World Heroes or any other ADK games in the 90s
I really liked the style of this game. Sure it doesn't have the technical advantages that the wwe2K games have, but it looks like it's fun! Each wrestler has a unique style and "gimmick" and that's exactly what wrestlers and wrestling IS! So overall I have to admit this is a really great wrestling/fighting/beat em' up game! It really captures the essence of pro wrestling! See you don't HAVE to HAVE a HUGE license for a wrestling game to be playable, just a decent amount of glamor and glitz, some amazing moves, crazy flips and flops, and overall knowledge of wrestling, and this has it! A decent game that I'd get if I had a NeoGeo.
Aww, yeah, more NG stuff. The truck stop outside my town had one, and they actually rotated the games, so me and my best friend would go there on weekends and spend hours there eating the greasy cheeseburgers and playing the Geo. This one I didn't get to play until sometime later, but it was still a blast, especially 2 player, since I'd usually win.
I thought that SNK's 3 Count Bout was unfairly panned when it came out - at least I've always had a good time with it! Just be warned - it's far from easy!
I honestly love this game and wish SNK would've made a possibly easier sequel. If you can beat Slam Masters, you can get through this game, though that game is about as tough as this, IMHO.
Now I know where the action finger button came from. Damn pirates taking all the sprites to make their knock-off games. I watched Projared video about a Wii knock-off console.
Soo wanted to love this game, but the grapples are literally impossible to win after the third round and you have to cheese the game to win. But shame there never was a sequel (though some people count that Neo Geo Pocket wrestling game as the sequel)
Ideal Tag Team for this game should be: Blubber Man and Blue Hablam=Mexican Macho, Gochack Bigbomb and Big Bomberder=Spanish Bomber Brothers, Terry Rogers and Leo Bradlay = American Brawlers, Roy Wilson and Master Barnes = European Warriors, The Gandhara and The Red Dragon = Asian Furies
After seeing the link NC, I had to come right over to see your 3 Count Bout video. Marvelous as usual bro. Such a fantastic game and graphically impressive to really show us the power of the Neo-Geo and the 100th Mega Shock that SNK had to offer at the time. Tough as rubber this gem was, I never could go past The Red Dragon. However, a fellow Neo-Geo player explain to me that you will never be able to progress if you start grappling all the time, you had to weaken the CPU with high risk maneuvers, colliding with them, or using weapons to cause damage...It work soon after. 8^) Nice work for sure NC. Thank you again for the link and always a pleasure to see you in action. 8^)
Looking back on this game, Saturday Night Slam Masters had this beat on the Roster. 4 of the playable characters in this game are just palette swaps with the exact same moves. Seems kind of lazy in hindsight.
@@BedroomBeethovens Bringing in a character from another franchise and re-designing him, updating his movesets and animations isn't lazy to any degree; in fact it shows dedication. Swapping the rgb values 4 times and passing them off as "individual" characters is the epitome of lazy.
Blubber man is Abdul the butcher if you ever seen Abdul the butcher matches you'll know he keeps a spike in his shorts she's also one of the legendary wrestlers
The mistake people make with this game is treating it like a wrestling game. It isnt one. It is a wrestling themed brawler. Punching and kicking to wear opponent down are what you need to do. Occasional flying drop kick here and there. Only grapple with A in the beginning, towards the initiate grapples with A but end with B and presssing up/down/left/right etc and bigger moves that usually end the fight will be performed. I dont know if there are finishers, some guys refuse to be grappled until the absolute very end. This is more of a fighting game than it is a wresstling game. Streets of Rage if it was in a ring.
I didn't have a NeoGeo system back then. They were a tad bit too pricey for me and my minimum wage job...lol. Actually not minimum wage but certainly not a huge dollar per hour amount. I stuck with the Nintendo Systems, the Sega Systems, the TurboGraphx-16, etc. Those were just fine for my cheap butt.....lol! However this was one game I was and am curious about! Thanks for sharing this with us! Great video as always!
Terry Rogers is Terry Funk But he look like Kerry Von Erich if you look up the Von Erich family you'll see that Kerry is the bigger Von Erich out of all of them but he never wore those type of pants which make everybody think that it was Terry Funk plus he also has Terry Funk finishing move
This game was awesome,anyway I have no idea why wwe didnt let either snk or capcom to make a game for them,but the only good thing they did back then is offering midway for that .
an interesting game. terry rogers, red dragon and roy wilson would be the ideal team 3 count bout for a future king of fighters title. if it was a 4 on 4 affair i would have gandhara in that team. another similar team would have master barnes, a buriki one grappler style fighter and a certain wrestler type fighter from fighter's history/karnov's revenge plus one from rage of dragons. some of these characters would make good inclusions in a future capcom vs snk title as would some from saturday night slam masters.
THIS WAS UNBELIEVABLE & I CAN ONLY WISH MY OUTCOME TO FINISH THIS GAME WILL COME SOMEDAY. I CAN'T EVEN GET THE JOB DONE WITH THE UNIBIOS CHIP INSTALLED, THE CODES APPEAR TO BE CORRUPT & SIMPLY DON'T WORK. 3 COUNT BOUT IS THE ONLY GAME IN THE ENTIRE LIBRARY THAT SEEMS TO BE PLAGUED IN SOME WAY THAT JUST FEELS IMPOSSIBLE TO OVERCOME UNFORTUNATELY SO & MY INFINITE ENERGY CODE DON'T EVEN WORK. IT APPEARS THAT I'M NEVER GOING TO FINISH THIS ONE GAME WHICH FOR ME IS TRAGICALLY ABOVE & BEYOND DEPRESSING, "IT'S SAD I TELL YOU SAD"!!!!!!!!!!🤕😩😱😫😨😔🙏😢
LED it's pretty obvious who he is Greg The Hammer Valentine he looked exactly like him and Greg The Hammer Valentine never faults are in the WWE he always cheated with some type of weapon or he could be Ric Flair
Uno de los mejores juegos de luchas hubiera estado excelente que le aplicaras el german suplex a algún adversario por lo regular al gandhara o al red Dragon los demás ya es más difícil aplicarselos o la francksteiner con esos dos movimientos ya la tenías ganada ya que si se levantaban de ellos inmediatamente los podías cubrir otro que tenía un movimiento espectacular era el red Dragon que hacía una tabla marina todos los personajes tenían movimientos de rendición ocultos que eran fatales solo que eran más difíciles de aplicar logré terminarlo con la gran mayoría incluso en parejas con un amigo de la infancia que nos coordinamos muy bien saludos
