Is this true?

This is getting off topic from the title of this thread, so I will now close it.
If anyone is confident that there will be a reproduction of Metal Slug 3 on AES for $268, then contact us and sell us your copy. We'll give $340 CASH buy back.
To sweeten the deal, we'll give anyone $400 credit towards the purchase of any NGF unreleased game under $800. And to make it even better, we'll give $450 credit towards any NGF unreleased game that is $800.00 or more.

$450-$268= $182!!!

Basically NGF-USA is offering anyone a $182.00 PROFIT to trade in their game now and buy it back later. Where else will you get $450 for your Metal Slug 3 right now? (if you think it will come out later for $260)


thank you,
Dion

OK...

1. Some fictituous wasn't able to get MS3 games as they claimed they would. (Strike One)
2. Offer the masses extra money to sell theirs to them, even though they didn't have the money to buy the games in the first place during launch. (Strike Two)
3. With the stock you do manage to get from the mindless, redesign as NGF stocked games with your specialized graphics and stickers for double the buying price. (Strike Three)

You know... it almost becomes second nature to predict what your plans are. You didn't even have the money to buy your own stock at the $268 price that NCS was offering, so you're going to purchase them back for an extra $70?

Nice try guys... and such a BRILLIANT business plan!! <IMG SRC="smilies/tickled.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/eek2.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/tickled.gif" border="0">

I just join NGF forum yesterday.
A lot of interesting posts there (I guess a lot of over confidence too)
Now I'm keep switching forum

With the rhetoric and CGE pics it's obvious that NGF is crumbling.....
They sell $800 games.. They sell $1000.. They sell $2000.. whatever your imagination and pocket book can stand!
It just ain't working no more! Even the so call 'BIG TYMERS' are now realizing they've been 'RIPPED THE FUCK OFF'
I LUV IT!! I HOPE SNK RE-RELEASES every damn title they've ever released!
NGF is not in business to sell $60 games which is evident from the from that CGE pic where the kid is holding what appears to be a SHODDY Samurai Showdown II cart.
Also from that SPECIAL offer,I wonder if 'PUFF' and 'SUGAR RAY' were requiring people send their carts in first..how would they do such a transaction???
Total BS..I mean NGF has become LAUGHABLE!!

More inserts to strip and copy, and more stickers to stick in manuals...

Has anyone tried to contact NGF about this?

pedu, that offer of thiers was made over A month ago. before the slug 3 reproduction was confirmed by SNK. NGF was up in arms saying it would not happen and they did the right thing by admitting they were wrong when we all found out slug 3 was A reality.
I seriously doubt they would still pay every one for thier copies. if they still are though I will buy A whole frigen case from NCS and sell it to NGF. not A bad way to pay the bills off at all.

Dude, that's a good idea. I'll buy a case too. How many are in a case?

"Sad. So very, very sad." ~Geese Howard (FF3)

Hey:

You know, once in awhile, I feel bad for people who have made others miserable. Like that bitch in Texas who killed her kids--she should fry, but I feel bad that her husband made her pump out kid after kid after kid when she obviously had a lot of problems.

But if NGF is crumbling and they are possibly going to break soon, fucking GOOD. Fucking GREAT. These guys, despite being known thieves, continue to screw unsuspecting Neo geeks and remain unapologetic about the ripoffs they are known to have pulled off. The basis of this thread is to see what desperate business strategy that NGF has come up with, but its really about laughing at them as they crash and burn. Anyone who sells NGF their copy of MS3 is a fool.

SAKURABA STYLE,

what I said was meant to be taken lightly. I would bet $$$ that that offer from NGF is no more and as far as any one selling thier copie to NGF being A fool, let me tell you some thing buddy, if it were to make me an extra hundred bucks and help me pay off the bills I would do it in A hart beat. these are mere games we are talking about here and I dont owe any of you A damn thing (and you owe me nothing either) this does not mean I would do any thing for money but selling some games is nothing of any consequence.

Orpheus, I think you missed what Sakura was trying to say.....Also, I still can't believe you defend them.

HELLO!!!!

They are suppose to be the "OFFICIAL U.S. DISTRIBUTORS"

WOULDN'T THE "OFFICIAL U.S. DISTRIBUTORS" KNOW OF A METAL SLUG 3 RE-RELEASE!!!

NGF IS FULL OF BULLSHIT

Why can't people get this through their thick skulls.... <IMG SRC="smilies/ohno.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/ohno.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/ohno.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/ohno.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/ohno.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/ohno.gif" border="0">

Well, Thats interesting,
If NGF was going to take your carts, & resell them, Id have no problem with that.
However, I have it on good authority now thats not what they do with SNK carts.

I think we have explained the inserts over 100 times. Its all over every
one of our pages, AND we clearly show a picture of the game. The fact
is the public couldnt be more informed about why the screwed up inserts
are garbage and we toss them. As a matter of fact, at the CGE our
customers WATCHED us thow away the worthless messed up inserts
and swap them out right on the spot. No problems. Everyone but
NGF obsessed understand that its ridding the market of junk.

Now that was snipped out of a post, but it is his own words.
You were at the CGE ORPHEUS, or am I mistaken.

So please enlighten me, did you witness them actully take SNK authentic original collectable merchandise
& replace it with their personal version?

If so did that not bother you?
Or is that covered under "I dont owe any of you A damn thing"

Cause IMO, thats something that you do owe everyone.
We all do.
10years ago, fans & collectors never destroyed or replaced anything, so thats why its still here for you today.
You may not like it, but as either a collector or a fan, you owe it too people 10years from now to not support that kind
of conduct under any circumstances.

His explanation is TOTALLY LUDICROUS..Why would anyone need NGF to swap an original insert for them and replace it with a NGF insert as if they're changing a car's oil filter??? If I purchased a cart..you give me the authentic merchandise and a fake insert on the side so that -I- the consumer have the option to swap if I wish!
Why does NGF need to swap an insert for you?
This QUOTE is damning on NGF's part!
He outright admits destroying authentic inserts in favor of reproductions,COUNTERFEITS if you will...
Orpheus take your time when answering Nick's question....and answer HONESTLY.

Orpheus is a total liar. When he (tried) to flame me, he was so stupid, he had to make things up. And he supports NGF. Don't trust him.

Orpheus is a total liar.

Not cool man,
Were asking a direst question too Orpheus.
He desreves 100% the right to say his peace.
I personally never thought ngf would go so far.
I'm willing to bet, many true fans did not either.
After Chris's recent admission, I'd lke to hear what Ngf's previous customer base has to say.
How they feel about it.

The whole reason they are doing it is so they can get Metal Slug 3 carts without paying for them. They know that their conversions are worth LESS than the price of a Metal Slug 3 cart. If they cut you a check and sent you $340, then that's one story, but the way they do things, I don't ever see that happening...they aren't Funcoland.

If it works the way it should, they should send the money first then you send them the game. Since there isn't many who would trust them, and/or many people would love to rip them off <IMG SRC="smilies/smirk.gif" border="0">, I don't even see this stuff happening.
Since they don't trust anyone they wouldn't send the money out first. Since people don't trust them,they wouldn't send their MS3 cart first.....so where does that leave us? Nowhere.....just makes them look like their "trying" to help.....whatever.... <IMG SRC="smilies/shame.gif" border="0">
..stop posting this garbage here.....I for one could care less about them or what they do......just another publicity stunt to get them mentioned in the forums over here.....stop giving them what they want..... <IMG SRC="smilies/ohno.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/ohno.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/ohno.gif" border="0">

Sorry, it's a fact, dude makes things up. I know it's no cool and I know the Fonz would Look down on my accusation, but it has to be said.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the fact that they posted that shit on their site when they did.

It is proof that they really thought they WERE SNKs official US distributors, and that they were also incredibly fucking delusional.

They were proven wrong in front of everyone after they GLOATED on and on about how there would be NO MS3 rerelease.

It's actually quite a thing of beauty, no?

And now that Mouse_Master has exposed the proof that they throw out SNK made inserts to 'correct' them with their own, it's pretty much just OVER for those two.

Now we can focus our attention on the NGF supporters that post here. <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">

Well, I must say I am impressed that people were able to keep thier cool on this one. however A big "fuck you" goes out to RADE KURUC. who the hell do you think you are, so I am the liar I think you have it the other way around. you took that post of mine to direct, it was directed at many of the forum members who I have seen post. I included you because you poked fun at me (and what really pissed me off is that you are really not that good at it, at least make me laugh next time like others do)
YOU lied directly to ME by saying what you posted was "JUST A JOKE" which was A bunch of B.S. if you were joking than why was there no happy face or J/K sign, shit man why would you just joke around on A thread that you knew would blow up in negativity where almost every thing posted by every one would be taken the wrong way. we have all seen it time and time before, you are A fool if you did not think it would happen. saying you were "just kidding" is the pussies way out. even I did that stupid shit once when i made A snide remark about the nubering on !arcades! strikers cart (which ryo geo got pissed at me for) and i used that bullshit line, so at least i can fess up to that.
and by the way RADE, its spelled ORIFICE not ORIPHAS when you make A crack at me get it right so it is actually laughable.

as for every one else who wants my opinion I am definitely intending on giving it. I wont be able to do it for A few days though because I am busy this weekend and I cant type well so it takes A while. however that one thread will be my last post about NGF on these forums PERIOD! thier name does not belong hear, not cause i hate them, but becuase many of the people here cannot eccercise self control and stop the flaming and ranting which is clouding this great message board and quit frankly making it a bore to visit.
I think you will all be surprised at what i have to say as I definitely DO NOT agree with every thing they do. but the truth is of mostly all of the people I have dealt with they were the only ones who were the easiest and most convinient to work with. they helped me out MANY times and I do not stab people in the back just cause some forum members who I dont even know want me to. I am not in highschool any more so shit like that just does not cut it. rest assured though that you will all get the reply you want. later.

NGF are GAY, is there really anything left to say?

by the way, PEDU, I saw wht dion said to you on thier site and I am sorry he was so rude. I have had issues with this before and addressed them with him. that is one of the things I dont like at times about NGF, and they know it. you should not have been put down like that it was an honest and sincere question.

and to lord akididus, I do not believe NGF to be the official distributer of neo products. I do however consider them to be an officiel distrib though. with all that has gone on with the english slug 3 and all and other happenings I believe snk now realizes that it is sink or swinm and that they must start making connections with others.

as far as NGF wanting copies of slug 3, no bother. they already put an order in for A few cases.

well, i at least gave NGF more credit than they deserved as i thought they'd try to sell the real inserts on the side for some quick cash....obviously they weren't smart enough to even try that, hence their failing business....heheheh.
