Can't NGF be bypassed for new AES releases?

Excuse me if this has been asked here before. If SNK is making a run of AES NITD or SENGOKU3 for NGF, would they be making some for Japanese release? Could Shawn try to preorder some of those? Also is NGF doing enough sales numbers to justify their status as SNK distributor? Could the people here help outdo their numbers or is there just not enough of us? If SNK really is not manufacturing any new AES titles then never mind. Must plead ignorance here as I still am relatively new to this site.

I don't think we can really consider it 'SNK' anymore, now that Aruze owns them.

We all have to remember that the vast majority of the world couldn't care less about the Neo. Aruze doesn't see enough demand for AES releases to make producing them profitable.

The NGF 'official' carts are bogus.

Even if the NGF carts DO come from SNK/Aruze Japan (not likely), there probably aren't alot of other sources willing to buy AES carts in the quantity to make it profitable.

Most US import distributors (and even the Japanese immigrant ones, with Japanese connections) don't carry ANY AES carts anymore.

We are a niche market.

We are, well...freaks.

We can always hope, though.

yeah that would be great
i seriously doubt
SNK of Japan
knows of ngfusa s
past and present history
in the NEOGEO community
it would be nice
but im sure that would
take a major undertaking
on shawns part
the only way this could happen
is if the neo community
pulls together to try to
work out an official release
from SNK of Japan
by some massive preorders or something
i would love to see this game
come out official AES vers
.. not
<cough>
ngf


I AM NOT A CRUMP!!
