Gentlemen,
I saw this post and it just hit me the right way. It actually made me want to reply!
I agree with what is being said here. It makes perfect sense if we were discussing any other gaming system besides the neogeo. Afterall, with literally dozens of titles released per month on all major consoles...(I believe the current "major" consoles are PS2, XBOX, GCUBE)...the owners of these systems will only purchase games that they have seen and like. They have the ability to be picky.
However, this is not a "major" (or at least modern) gaming console that we are discussing here. Rather it is a niche market which only has 3-4 releases per year. Therefore the owners of this particular console have NO CHOICE but to purchase whatever is thrown their way. Those who choose NOT to purchase a title basically DON'T GET a title! Kind of like voting for the president in the old Union of Soviet Socialist Republic...you either vote for the candidate...or you DO NOT vote for the candidate...EITHER WAY...the candidate becomes president!
Also there is an old saying..."beggers can't be choosers". We have to take whatever we can get...so wether it sucks or not, were pretty much stuck buying it. I suppose that since the developers for this console are aware of this, they don't care wether or not we will be happy MUCH LESS if we have not been able to see any screenshots.
Personally, I too would love to see them "listen" to us and actually make games for us. I am quite sure that 700 megs used to make a neogeo version of castlevania, mega man, super mario brothers, zelda, rygar, ghosts 'n goblins, etc. would absolutely / positively make us salivate. However this has never happened, and most likely never will. I am however still hopefull that at least one of our "DREAMS" will finally be coming true this year with..."Snk versus Capcom"...but then again...where the HELL is the screenshot for this too! Until I start to see them, I will not breathe easy yet. We need PROOF!
Please remember that this is just an opinion. So..."now play friendly".
