First off, MS3 is NOT going to be re-released. If it does I will be as happy as all of you
Second. If there is one source you should support in the AES market, its !arcade!.
By buying the Strikers AES you are showing support for more future releases!
!arcade! is not MASS-PRODUCING the Strikers AES, they are doing the SMART thing by producing limited quanities. Once the Strikers are gone, who knows what will be next.
Yes, signing up for a Metal Slug 3 re-release is great. But more than likely most of the people who signed up for the game are kids trying to be noticed by the REAL Neo-Gamers and have no intentions of buying the game.
Honestly there are like 40% of us on these boards that can actually buy an expensive Neo game and it would'nt affect us. Yes, its sad the games cost so much, but it is we who are the true supporters of the Neo. Any punk could go out and buy a $250 AES and World Heroes and say, "I'm a Neo Geo MANIAC!"
Look at me for example. I have 2 hobbies, Import Tuning and Neo-Geo. I had a nice MVS collection going but I said FUCK IT! I'm going AES! And I sacrificed 62 games for 1 game an AES and a Super Mod! Am I stupid? Maybe in some peoples eyes. Did I get what I wanted? Yes.
I'm not a doctor or a lawyer...but a CONTRACTOR. I build houses! What other carpenter do you guys know who is into the Neo Geo
My AES collection consists of...MS, MS2, MS3, MSX and SS2. Those are basically the only AES games I want as of now besides Neo-Driftout... <GLARES at Jeff Kurtz>
Support !arcade! in their efforts to bring out more unreleased AES games for the Neo.
sonic1687 Hey, back off. I used to like you...untill that comment about any 'kid' could just say hes going to pre order it, but not really buy it. Fuck you, i pre ordered it and i have every intention to buy it when its released. just because i'm 14 (no job) doesnt mean that i cant buy a couple of NGH games. maybe right now i do only have wh2 and ss2. soon enough ill have an mvs converter to play my mvs collection (metal slug, tss +10 others) and im also going to be getting kof 2k and metal slug 3.
also, i dont think supporting arcade is the right way to go. they are totally unofficial PIRATERS. the are custom manufacturing their own boards (which must be copyrighted by snk in one form or another) and duplicating their rom chips (i doubt theyd sac that many mvs's)which last time i checked...WAS ILLEGAL.
i dont understand, why cant anyone ever accept that the end of the neo might come? i've never seen anyone else so up-tight about the fact that their system might die. sure i want it to live for ever too...but eventually everything must die, even the neo.

Silent_Scope For odd reason I'm back with full force in NGH world again (last time was 1996).
I love Neo Geo but price scares me away even I'm working. I don't mind spend money on import DC, Saturn, or PS2 but just can't shell out $500 for MOTW or $1200 for Metal Slug. That's crazy.
I'm happy with my 10 NGH games I have now
There are two more coming: KOF99 and SS 3
TonK Sonic, don't EVER get in my face like that again.
The fact is you might fall in to the 40% category I mentioned. But that 40% of fan based gamers isn't enough to get SNK to produce more AES titles.
Contact !arcade! about the pirating comment you made, I'd bet they would be glad to hear that!

DoESnt It TONk?
TonK I was referring to my post...
It wasn't meant as a flame war.
I don't want the thread to turn into a WAR.
You don't need to jump in my face either...
Why can't you people respond to a post like normal fans instead of flaming?

CkY Tonk you come off as a faggot.
ocsmod I just write to tell that I pre-ordered MS3 and that I will buy it when it is released. I don't have nothing against !Arcade!. If they release or re-release any good game that I like be sure that I will pre-order it.
Tonk, you know that we all love the Metal Slug series, so if !Arcade! had made the announcement of a MS3 re-release the people would have pre-ordered it the same. Please support ANY company who just wants the Neo Geo to stay alive.
snknutball Tonk,how do you get to the 40%,surely that is just an educated guess,you dont have proof in what you say to back you up.
You also boast about REAL neo geo gamers as if someone who hasnt gone out and bought metal slug for £$1200 is a loser,i hope for your sake you bought that game cos you wanted it,and not to get into peoples faces about what a REAL neo geo gamer is.
I preordered metal slug 3 and may cancel that pre order so i can go and look for it even if it is a few £££ more.Its gotta be better than waiting for something that might not happen.
sonic1687 i didnt mean to come off as 'flaming' (no not the gay one, the mad one) sorry. i was just pissed. you should really lighten up tho, just consider the fact that ms3 might be released, dont be so negative. also, about arcade...if they arent sac-ing mvs's then they are burning their own roms correct? and if they do that, then arent the infringeing on copyright laws? i never heard anything about getting a liscense from snk...

Tonk , this is a really sad statement. Anyone who enjoys the neogeo is an enthusiast. You have just confirmed to me that there is an elitist snobbery in the Neo world with your "I've got an AES and MS" attitude. That just stinks. I have money , i have a computer and console collection that spans from 1981 , but i never put anyone down who is trying to get into a particular scene.
you are so sad in my opinion
Bri
BRANDI I think that Tonk is right when he's saying 'Support !arcade!' (i didn't preorder the cart but i will probably get it when it will be released: the end of the week if everything goes right).
!arcade! could bring other MVS only titles to the AES market and that is a very good thing.
But, anyway, i'd be definitely happier to see SNK back on track, rereleasing some great title and givin' us new life with something original.
That's why i truly hope that this 'MS3 thing' will be just fine.
We need both SNK and !arcade!.

You redeemed yourself until...this post.....so smug,cocky,and arrogant......thought you were more mature than that........guess not.....
I will agree though that people like to open their mouth and say they will support something if it comes out while having NO intention of buying it.......great example is BIG BEARS cases.....everone wanted the cases......when push came to shove....(guess here) about only 1/2 of the people bought the cases that said they would........kind of sad there are a few of "fake" supporters in the Neo community that make it hard for people who have true good intentions for all and then wind up with false promises from many.......that part I understood this time around.......

I really don't understand your attitude, TonK. What's your problem with NCS? I don't have anything against !Arcade! As long as they release games that I like, I will buy them. NCS is now accepting pre-orders for MS3, and I like this game, so I buy it. What's the problem in it?
Relax, TonK
