yea

Tung Fu ru · Feb 24, 2005

$65!!!??? That's way too much. I'm just glad that I own all three games, fuck buying a port if you can buy the real thing. Shit I payed about $65 for both LB1 and LB2, and around $50 for MotW (I got them off Ebay, cart only)

$65 is high, but you're getting a lot for your money.
SVC Chaos (xbox) started out at $49.99 and quickly dropped to $29.99 several months later. I'm sure the same will probably happen here.

That is a Japanese price converted to dollars. I think that is a pretty standard price for a game in Japan, like $50 here.

$65 is a fairly standard price for PS2 games on release in Japan, especially with the dollar so weak at the moment. If these came out in the US, they'd be cheaper for sure.

never........or 6 months to a year after the Japanese PS2 ones.

now for those complaining about the $65 price.........it's standard and always has been for most Japanese PS2 releases. so it's not really a surprise. also, take a look at the games you're getting for the price.

not too damn bad considering there ARE people around without access to a Neo Geo system to purchase them on.

just be happy that SNK Neo Geo is still kicking in some way or another (and bringing 3 of the best Neo games to the masses once again).

neojedi · Feb 24, 2005

I'm curious as to whether they reprogrammed the LB1 port from the ground up. The slowdown made the PS1 version of the Last Blade almost unplayable. Still, it'd be nice if they kept the PS1 intro.

JHendrix · Feb 24, 2005

Yeah, that's the standard price for a JPN PS2 game.

Besides, how could you say it's a rip off considering what the home carts or even MVS carts can go for?

mark-art · Feb 24, 2005

Wow, hopefully this gets a stateside release. Kind of ironic since I just bought LB1 for my aes. Meh. I'll definately pick this up for LB2 tho, the cart goes for way to much. Same for Garou. Damn aes. heh.

Thats my thinking.

I paid $112 for a mint LB1 JPN AES, & I want LB2 but Im not about to pay $300+ for it. Id happily pay $65 for LB 2-in-1 for PS2, it hopefully will be a good port as SNKP have been doing recently for PS2 (KOFs). It will especially good with those new PS2 neo sticks just released :drool_2:

I doubt these games will come out for xbox.... ever. but personally if I had an xbox id just get teh romz... but thats just me.

norton9478 · Feb 24, 2005

I hope that they really add some good stuff in there.

I can get THe MVS copies of those games for $130........

I don't pay more for ports than I do for Carts..

I expect them to be cheaper in the US........

MVS copies of those for $130? That's a bit ambitious I think, or if you're lucky enough to find someone with a bonnified gamers condition that doesn't demand a decent asking price.

Still, I'd pay up to $100 for MOTW if it were on XBox w/ Live. Same thing with LB2.

Dean · Feb 24, 2005

If this were to make it to XBox Live I'd be on it like stink on shit. LB1 for everyone.

no way. $30-40 is reasonable for a 6+ year old game when the only new addition would be network play.

i don't see any reason to get either of these on ps2, garou and gekka were already some of the most graphically impressive games on the neo. no need for a rebout here.

neo_X7 · Feb 24, 2005

If there as good as KOF 00,01 was the PS2 then yes but if there like KOF03 then fuck no!

RAINBOW PONY · Feb 24, 2005

eh, LB 1 and 2 are OLD, 30 tops for both, MOTWs may be worth 49 retail, but it's still old, i paid that for the dreamcast version when it came out.

SNK should just make a "our best fighters" compilation, and put all 6 games on 1 disc :kekeke:

but, xbox ports plz.

It was meant as a metaphore for how desparate I am for a good SNK fighter on Live.

Plus I <3 MOTW like no ones buisness.

Well, you can get the MVS, but something like 99% of gamers out there don't have a MVS set-up but do have a PS2.

That being said, that price is for the IMPORT Japanese version, and remember how hard the $ sucks now. When they are released in USA and Europe they will possibly have a budget-price like 30$/€.

I thought KOF 03 was perhaps the most impressive PS2 port yet. Certainly a step above the ports of 00 and 01. Am I missing something?

Visually, the 02 port is not very good as well, so add that to the list. If you let the Neo version and the port run side by side, the PS2 version really makes you puke with all those worn-out sprites where you can hardly make out facial expressions. The 2k2 DC port is much better.

I agree about 2k3, IMO it's one of the best SNKP PS2 port so far (technically speaking).

The Stigma of of owning/playing Ports is worse than the stigma of owning/playing Gamer MVS carts.

Break it down like this:

Garou can be had for $80
I bet you could get both Last Blades for $50 total if you looke around...
