I have Ikari Warriors on my NES, but I've never played Psycho Soldiers. I have, however, played Athena (also on my NES) and can still not get past the first level (I tried today).
Ikari 2 is the best in the series, in my opinion... As for Athena, it's very different from Psycho Soldier. It (Athena) seems to be the brunt of a lot of jokes nowadays, but I used to like the game a lot ( although I've admittedly never played the NES/Famicom version.. yep, you heard right. )
Yeah, I have seen pics of Psycho Soldier and know it's a completely different game. I still like playing Athena (even if I can't beat the first level) because, well, it's Athena.

I'm a huge fan of the Samurai Showdown series, but I'm actually afraid of what would happen to the series if a sequel were to happen. SS3 almost killed the series, SS4 was good but still not up to SS2 standards, and SamSHo64 was awesome, but was ignored. If a SS5 does happen, it darn well better be up to SS2/64 standards.
Of course, I too pine for a new Fatal Fury game. I don't care if it's a sequel to FF3 or Real Bout 2, or if it's a sequel to and more in the vein of MotW.
MS4 just came out, and it's awesome, so my Metal Slug thirst is being quenched at the moment.
I could care less about any of the other SNK games ESPECIALLY AoF and KoF...
And one more thing, I'm not sure who made it, but I do know that SNK didn't make Shock Troopers.
Useless but true fact: A monkey was once tried and convicted for smoking a cigarette in Indiana.

if you're reffering to the warrior's rage game,I agree..It really is not worthy of the 'ss' title(why oh why did they have to use polygonal sprites?!! )..BUT the character designs were great(as is always the case with snk) and the music was really good..
As Iron D said, SS 64 ( well, SS 64 2) is quite good, and it's polygonal... Just don't touch the PSX game.
Update: And Yes, Shock Troopers was made by Saurus, not SNK.
Update 2, the revenge: Oh, and just to clarify, SS 64 2 is NOT the same game as the PS game. For some reason, there seems to be a lot of confusion about this in the U.S., but trust me, they are not the same game.

I did. Don't ask me why, but I don't like the OVAs at all, they don't feel like the regular Kenshin series. But I do love most of the anime and all the manga!
they sure don't feel like the series but that's no bad thing..the betrayal ova is one of the best I've ever seen..the series is kinda weird in the sense that it uses humour to situations were seriousness is required and changes from 'serious' to 'humorous' in a very japanese way..o_0..and then it gives you real facts about the meiji era and political and cultural references...
well,I love both!now I have to decide whether to get a ps2 finally or more dvds.. anyone here collected them all?they are about 30 I think..
rid,you have the manga?(not scanned from the net I mean)..Send..scans...now!damn!the site I was dling the manga translated doesn't seem to have dloads now..
I have all of the DVDs so far of Rurouni Kenshin (TV series, OVAs, and Movie) that have been released in America. The TV series is nearly finished and the new OVAs aren't out here yet. I like the prequel OVAs, because they do tell a story that was told in the manga, about Kenshin's past, however, I hear in the new OVAs
Spoiler (Highlight to view) -
that Kenshin is dead. That doesn't make me happy, as the manga ends on a happy note. Maybe they shouldn't have done the story with Kenshin's kid grown up some (they coulda just covered the Enishi stuff), even then though, Kenshin wasn't an old man, so someone must've killed him. Therefore, I think I'll be mad at the new OVAs.
End of Spoiler
