NeoGeo Heroes: Ultimate Shooting

NeoGeo Heroes: Ultimate Shooting is a an updated version of KOF: Sky Stage featuring new stages and characters. Unlike the original game, which focused specifically on characters from The King of Fighters, this game includes characters from across SNK's library.

NeoGeo Heroes plays similarly to Moss's other character-based vertical shooting games, such as Caladrius. Each of the ten different playable characters features a unique playstyle and shot pattern. New to this game is a new "burst" mode. Players build up their burst meter over time, and are able to keep up to three stocks. Each character has a set of unique special moves which consume varying levels of burst meter, leading to each character having very distinct playstyles.

The 15-stage main story mode is similar to Sky Stage's branching story mode, but features a few new stages in addition to stages returning from the previous game. Players can also play a straight port of Sky Stage with its original six characters. Sky Stage's multiplayer minigames also return unaltered. A new challenge mode gives players specific sets of tasks to complete, with rewards for filling them out. Additionally, there is a new museum mode that lets players read about all of the included characters, look at concept artwork, and listen to music.

The six characters from Sky Stage return (Kyo Kusanagi, Iori Yagami, Terry Bogard, Athena Asamiya, Kula Diamond, Mai Shiranui) alongside four new characters: Akari Ichijo (The Last Blade), Marco Rossi (Metal Slug), Iroha (Samurai Shodown VI), and UNI-008 (Alpha Mission).
