I found a torrent this week with a truckload of Neo Geo roms and romhacks. I'm quite used to roms but the romhacks were something i never tried much, those were interesting to say the least.
However, i was surprised to find out that Battle Flip shot had a sequel called Bang Bead.
Alright, first things first, Battle Flip Shot was a "sports" game that played like pong. u had control of a character with a shield and u could move anywhere on your side of the field, the goal was to knock out all of your opponent's tokens.
You could slide to go faster and you could perform a power shot if u pressed A as u touched the ball. Very simple game.
However, the sequel went and gave this a twist. You no longer carry shields, so to bounce the ball u have to time it and press A as it's going to hit you, if u don't the ball will still b reflected but it'll knock u down for a moment. as u successfully reflect the ball a power ball increases and u can perform a power shot, but as far as i know, it's nothing special and somewhat useless.
Also, to win u have to take down all the tokens, like in the previous game, but in this one, it's not enough, taking down all the tokens deactivates the wall behind your opponent and u have to get the ball through it. Seems like a minor detail but u wouldn't believe how many matches i lost cause of it.
"Dancing is the most wonderful in the world", lol...
Anyway, i can't really tell if it's a better game than it's predecessor. But, apart from the gameplay changes, the addition of 2 new character (plus 2 hidden one that i have NO idea how to unlock) and the much better sprites and artwork makes it way more enjoyable.
The "light" character story and endings make it feel less meaningless and add a bit to the game without annoying the player with it.
Verdict: Sort of want... It's not super awesome, but it's nice.
