Interesting. The Wii ports have flickering taken out too, which is my only problem with them, but I don't know if it was done in this way. I think with Metal Slug 3 they just turned if off the same way the Neo allows (on later games) and broke off the knob.

(@CodeMystics) tweeted at 5:55 PM on Thu, May 26, 2016: @omrunl there's interframe blending to get rid of the flickering shadow. Flickers are not allowed in modern games for e.g. photosensitivity." They added later that "if allowed" they would add an option to disable it. Also I hear the Vita version got patched already, not sure what for exactly. from Paleface.

Follow Ups:

Was the Neo way turning to make the shadows just full black all the time? I noticed that in the recent KOF 2000 PS4 port, they somehow made the shadows like 50% transparent, non-flickery. I got a tweet back from Code Mystics that seems to indicate that type of change isn't in their game plan, though (after I mentioned how it had been done in 2000, their reply two days later was simply "This isn't a port").

Uh, "Neo way of turning off the flickering," that is.

I don't think the Neo way of doing it affected the shadows at all, unfortunately, which makes me wonder abot stuff like KOF for Wii. Maybe I'll look into it.
