What does that mean? It is a bootleg because they sell only in Asia?

No, it just means it's a separarte division of SNK (Playmore).

OK, so does this mean I can assume that KoF 2002 is original, and also everything that comes from Hong Kong?

Possibly since HK sells a lot of MVS carts, they have to be prone to do some MVS to AES conversions so that they can move stock.

That´s great <img src="graemlins/smirk.gif" border="0" alt="[Smirk]" />

Ummm... HK is a hot bed for bootleg MVS carts.
I don't why you think otherwise, but bootleg arcade carts are by far much more common than bootleg AES carts

This whole concept of "cosplay" is a little weird to me. Still, entertaining photos to look at.

Well, Cosmicco (dealer from Hong Kong) latest price list states RotD for 148$, and it's supposed to be original.
And I still don't understand what Shawn wanted to say with his post. I thought HK was the birthplace of most bootleg carts.

You asked, "are the legit carts being manufactured or distributed from Honh Kong?".
I provided you with the reminder that SNK NEOGEO H.K. distributes MVS (coin-op) hardware and software from Hong Kong.
H.K. = Hong Kong
