I've been curious about this for sometime. Does anyone know if a US version of this game exists? The Master List has a question mark under the US release collumn but the Price Guide denotes it as a Japanese only release. I've been into the Neo for a long time and have never seen a US version of this game, but that doesn't mean one doesn't exist. Does anybody have any information on this.

Thanks,
Ryan

As I explained in the US versus European releases. Aerofighters 3 does exist.
But since the production run of this "English" version, which originates from
Europea, is so small that it is nearly impossible to find one.

What do you mean by "originates in Europe", Sold only in Europe, or printed in Europe, or neiter...

well,right

i really do not know why i'm sayin this,
its boring but alright

Let it be simple for once

i dont think aero fighters 3 exists in a non jap form

its really simple,
if they did put out a euro aerofighters 3,
there should be AT LEAST 500 copies of it out there,somewhere

right?

same goes for kizuna euro / us

whatever you wanna call it

if you been payin attention,
every now and then,
a copy of kizuna us pops up,
its a rare event,
but its real

cos it happened

we witnessed it

so are we now sayin that there are
- at least - 500 aerofighters 3 carts out there,and still no one ever seen it FOR REAL???!

come on

its just not possible

a bit like those 10 breakers revenge...eh?

this is my truth,
now tell me yours

I’m with Fran. I don’t believe an authentic English version Aerofighters 3 exists. So far, no one owns a copy or even has owned a copy. Only a friend of a friend has seen one. There was a claim that someone saw a copy through a store window half a decade ago, still not enough proof. So far there isn’t any proof, only a rumor.

Come to think about it, for months I offered $200 to $300 just for a picture of the game. No one could provide. I did have a couple people come forward and say they had a copy. Then I asked if it came from NGF and they no longer replied.

Well since I'm from Europe i will take this quest upon me to find proof of it's existance. Although it's gonna be difficult and might take a while.

Actually, I find this stuff quite interesting. I was most interested in the quote about originating in Europe. I was wondering if that meant printed in Europe. I know French games come with a French manual. Is that made in France, or did SNK make the French version with an extra manual in French?

The French manuals we're printed in France yes. By the official distributor for France
concerning Neo Geo games.
Here's the name of this company :
Guillemot International
Now i dont know for sure why they stopped printing them, but it could be that SNK Europe took over from them and distribute
Neo Geo all over Europe themselfs. Which
they didn't prior pre 94.

Now concerning the inserts. No Neo Geo inserts we're printed in Europe. All
inserts came from Japan, so normally if
there is a english version of Aerofighters 3
then SNK Japan should know about it.

No problem.
Whenever you got questions about the European Neo Geo scene, feel free to ask
them. I was already part of it since 1991,
so i know pretty much about SNK Europe and
european Neo Geo releases.

That's the problem here in Europe, to find rare carts you have to work through magazines or newspapers, since the internet
explosion still has to happen here

hehe
Mainly because of the phone companys who
charge 1 $ an hour + subscription to get you online.
But if i see one, then i will buy it and
take some scans or pictures.
