NEOGEO is a cartridge-based arcade system board. It's a fourth-generation home video game console by Japanese company SNK Corporation, released in 1990. Initially, it launched a coin-operated arcade machine. It could put up to six different cartridges into a single cabinet; they are called Multi Video System. This is what makes the system unique, as at the time no other platform could use that much cartridges. A home console is called Advanced Entertainment System; it was first launched as a rental console for video game stores in Japan. However, its high price did not let the company release it for home use, so it was removed. When released, NeoGeo was the most powerful console at the time. It had massive success during the 1990s due to its low cost, six ROM slots and small size. Still, sales were meager in the U.S. as the hardware and software had high prices. Fatal Fury, Art of Fighting, and Samurai Shodown are famous arcades for NeoGeo.
RAWG publishes an average score only once a game has collected
6 or more user votes. Below that it
returns 0.0 — while still returning the full vote
breakdown. So a game nobody has ever rated and a game with five
“exceptional” votes arrive looking identical.
Those suppressed scores are recomputed from the breakdown, which recovers 0 of the 1 games here that would otherwise read as unrated. The rest have no votes at all — mostly obscure, regional or unported titles. That is a real absence, not a gap in the fetch: there is nothing to retrieve.
Everything with a vote ranks in one table, because the order is weighted rather than a raw mean: a score is shrunk toward the all-years mean of 3.79 (too few ranked games here to take a local one) in proportion to how thin its evidence is, so a two-vote 5.0 settles near the middle instead of on top. Metacritic joins at half that weight where it exists.
Ordered by a weighted score, not the raw mean: each game's own average is shrunk toward the all-years mean of 3.79 in proportion to how few votes it rests on, and Metacritic is folded in at half that weight where it exists. A 6-vote 4.67 therefore ranks below a 2,100-vote 4.45 — the raw figure is shown under each score, and sorting by raw score ignores the weighting entirely.
Bars show how the votes split —
Exceptional, Recommended, Meh, Skip.
A ~ on the raw figure marks a score recomputed from a
