Okay,
After reading Magic box, Kales review, NGF response and the others I have drawn my own though and OPPINION on this matter. I say all this not seeing the english version Nor would I want to buy it. I am just using my personal experience with the Neo and my Knowledge of NGF.
1. Do I think NGF is a distrubutor of SNK products?
yes I never disputed this. I do not think they are the Exclusive distrubutor just the only ones in the US that requested to distrubute them. After all everyone here was dealing with SNK USA up until it left the US and there was no other. So NGF probably got wind of a english release and ask if the can distrubute it.
2. DO I think the NGF KOF 2000 is a official snk product?
Yes/NO. Yes because it is obvious to me that snk released a US version. Maybe because of what NGF said about Aruze that they did not want to distrubute Japanese product to the US. But when the initial order of 1000 was not meet and therefore they would not flip the printing NGF said they would print the material themselves. SNK I am sure agreed and gave them the digital files they had already done on the game which NGF had printed out after they added thier little Neogeofreak logo touches to it. That is why I gave it the No.
3. Should the cart be include in a master game list?
I would have put it in mine, although I would denote it as a NGF release. I fully believe SNK released a US version I just do not believe the version that is being sold is how it was fully intended. even if you take into consideration that the gold warning label was removed.
4. Do I think the english version would cost more to make.
Sure it would if they had to flip the printing bill but not $315 more that is just gross profit. think about it when NCS was going to sell them before they resended the offer they had them listed at $529. No NGF had to sell them cheap enough for NCS to make a profit. although thier argument that distrubutor charge more is valid. However distrubutors do not raise prices. Pricing is determined by who they distrubute for.
This seems the most logical assumptions from the facts presents so far. But this is all personal conjunction on my part. since the full truth from NGF will never be truthfully told and I doubt if SNK will comment more then what the orginal had.
I wish SNK would have put it on thier website or comment on the matter more then they did but since they will not all that is left is speculation. But we all know the history of NGF and how they like to decieve so it make the most sense to me.
after all has not NGF already been proven a liar in the art being printed at the same place snk uses.
and please only thought out comments on this. Not the flames.
