I would be interested, but when something sounds too good to be true, it usually is. Where would these "new Metal Slug" carts be coming from? How many are there? Why are they only $400? ect...

This is a legit question... I am not promissing anything, just trying to proove that there is a possibility that we could reach the minimum number of pre-orders.

I would just like to know if 2000 (ouch!) preorders would be an attainable goal...

How many would you pre-order Shawn?

Basically it comes to this..I was "informed" that if a minimum of 2000 (two thousand) carts were PRE-ordered..do the math and that's ($800,000) expensive! SNK would be able to make another run of the origional Metal Slug for the home cart system..

Email me with private questions please.

(Don't flame me for saying this)
Even if they were NGF carts, I would pay for it. I'm assuming the quality of the release would be similar to the KOF 2000 English release though. (hopefully minus the stickers and freaklogos)

As mike says after me, I would really prefer an SNK release over any neo freak half release.

Even if EVERYONE on this board bought one, you could not reach 2,000. And you would need a lot of credibility and publicity to even have a chance of reaching those numbers. You would have a better chance of getting a new AES title released. Sorry about the scepticism, but it is way too easy to be screwed with Neo Geo stuff. Ya gotta be careful..........

Looking at your last post, Mike, yes, I would be interested. I just don't know how the critical mass of 2000 can be attained by asking a board with less than 1200 members.

I understand what you are saying but I am just curious...there is no way that I could front $800,000 (and I don't know anyone that has won the lotto recently)but if the demand is there....

The only problem is that once all the money is collected it would take about 4 months to actually get the carts here...long time to wait on $400...

It is a long time to wait. Were Shawn the custodian of the funds, I would trust the process unequivacally. Shawn takes EXTREME precautions and were he the one to process the order, I would be in. Other wise, no dice.

PS...I would add NCS to that list as well.

Well I guess most people here would LOVE to be able to buy NEW, AUTHENTIC, QUALITY, NEO GEO product and would beat a path to the door of whoever could provide it reliably and treat them with respect. And people would wait, but only if the source is credible. It just seems like there are too many hurdles right now and not enough buyers for more production though. <IMG SRC="smilies/ohno.gif" border="0">

I understand your concerns Ryo but let's go ahead and say that it were to be done by a trusted group such as NCS...

I am just looking for numbers...

A group like NCS? I'm in.

Crap...That was my Mega Shock post? WHat a waste. I can be so eloquent when I put my mind to it. Oh well. Guess I'll save the choice words for Giga-Shock.

I find the price @ $400 per piece rather high. Don't buy into this scam. Realistically, this game could be sold @ $299 with a suitable profit for the party selling the game beyond SNK's take if a run of 2000 carts were made. I do not anticipate seeing another release of Metal Slug anytime soon, there are too many other options open. Even if ngf did not meet the minimum order quantity, the $400 prepayments would suffice to make converted Metal Slugs. Think about it. Besides, would it have the ugly orange stripe??

You got my preorder on the deal these are not conversions or have anything to do with ngf and there shit business. Im serious I will buy one if they are real. But if ngf is selling them not a chance in hell. Shawn was right, to a collector anything that has to do with ngf is worthless in my eyes. Tell me where you are getting them I would rather buy from hell then ngf.

I would like to understand why you are able to sell 2000 copies of MS.No one heard about it.Even if you are right, you don't have any credibility.Please show official SNK documents on it please,it would be a great guarantee.

Riddle me this? If 2000 original SNK Metal Slug AES carts suddenly hit the market would that in turn cause the overall "value" of the Metal Slug cart to drop as well since the rarity would then be effected. Or would we simply just have yet another rarity category for the cart in question?

Would this cart be English or Japanese?

Why would anybody buy a MS1 for $400 when they could convert a complete one for $250. If the second production run are price more effectively at $199, it would be more correct. Just think how many you can sell for $199; you can count me in for 10 new copies for that price.
