I personally think if NGF was able to pull off a US version, there's no reason a bigger retailer like NCS couldn't do something similar by themsleves

Its not surprising, their (NCS') decision not to carry the NGF KOF2K cart. It just reinforces how the entire community feels about the situation . . . and they must have gotten a LOT of feedback about the issue, based on what they wrote in their news section today.
So Geddon, where are you now? Hiding? You appear to now be in a very tiny minority in your opinions on this issue, you don't at all reflect how the community feels about this. You're certainly free to express your opinions, thats what the forums are for, but even YOU must admit NOW that there is a problem here?
Anyway, EVERYONE here should send responses to NCS to tell how they feel about the issue. I'm not telling you to take one or the other side, just express your feeling to them, thats all. Email them at: ncsx@email.msn.com and answer the questions they posted on their news page today. The more feedback, the better for all of us!

To be 100% honest with you, and I don't mean to come across as cold, I could give a rats ass about the neo community. That's the truth. I'm not trying to be friends with you guys or be "part of the antiNGF crusade" like 90% of the people here.

I think Geddon is tired of being a minority on the NGF KoF issue. I believe that he does care about the neo community in general. The Master List is Geddon’s work, his contribution.
He also started the original home cart price guide, which he handed over to me. He actually wanted to discontinue the guide because he felt the guide inflated cart prices. I couldn’t scrap the guide, but he still insisted that his name be removed as a founder. Against his will, I still credit John Thacker for the price guide.
He is someone I have a large amount of confidence in. He always confirms critical moderating decisions concerning the forums before action is taken. He has also plays the role of a trusted advisor & friend.
I admit that his recent posts had me wondering if NGF had brainwashed the guy. However, I can relate to his fickle opinions concerning NGF products. At one point in my collecting, I valued NGF carts highly, despite the pitiful service I received. Now I offer all of the NGF carts for sale in my store. I don’t want them sitting on my shelves any longer, as they remind me of NGF.
Geddon is entitled to his opinion, and apparently he was right about the NGF KoF 2k coming from SNK. From his description of the NGF version, this copy is unlike any previous NGF (kinko’s) print. Such enthusiasm for a home cart is what makes the neo fun. From my experience in home cart collecting, I’m convinced the NGF KoF 2k will hold more value than any other NGF cart. Nonetheless, it’s still an NGF cart, doomed with a cloud of negativity surrounding it.

Who says NCS won't sell the KoF 2000 English versions? I think they will. They have probably more orders then they can fill, so that post is their safety net to say that they only got a small few. They will have a full restock of older carts from NGF also. I'm sure NCS will sell the KoF 2000s and the other future carts from NGF, because that will be the only source.
