Man, NGF has just announced they will be selling Zupapa on AES for only $269. It's an official cartridge but seems to be coming from Aruze and Face and NGF. It seems the Neo will live on.
thanks NGF.

that's some of the best news I've read in a long time. Zupapa has been a long awaited game and getting the aes version for such a low price is icing on the cake. We have to thank NGF for going out of their way and making this all possible.
THANKS NGF.



Uh-huh. Right along with NITD.

Shit. This is super fucking lame.

To provide worry free service, all the cartridges will have the official NeoGeoFreak / NGF-USA fully transferable and lifetime warranty on them and the insert will have the NGF stamp on the back as to prove it's authenticity and quality.
These features alone will raise the value of the games. If it doesn't have the NGF stamp of authenticity on it... then you should question it's legitimacy. Just as PSA and other symbols add and provide authenticity and value to other items, the NGF stamp of authenticity will provide years of hassle free buying, selling, and trading.

Oh yes, I always love this excuse. Gets funnier and funnier every time I see it. I guess since people bitched about the stickers, they went on to something a little more perminant. Fucking stamps!? Gimme a fucking break.

WTF is this?
This is the first in the line of NeoGeoFreak AES only titles provided directly via the original programming company and through ARUZE Corp. We are bringing the original lower price standards and "American made pride" back home.

AES only title? Am I missing something?

HAHAHA I like the disclaimer at the bottom:

* - release date prices are not guaranteed and are subject to rising costs depending on current market values

I think you can pretty much count on that.

I love Chris and Dions fake names on that board, every time I see a quote like "we need to thank NGF" you can bet it's a fake name.

The scariest/saddest/stupidest/ part is that these guys actually believe that stamping their name on shit raises the value. I thought they were doing stuff like the stickers to be dickheads. They actually BELIEVE that their stamp adds value.

it's thier same bag of tricks

they wanted to do the same thing with NITD but unfortunitly for them the price never droped on the NGM stock and it was on protected boards.

however with Zupapa they already had the proto and were burning the roms for the conversion so it was just a matter of time.

Well I would be willing to bet if anyone open those carts they will see a homemade solder job. not to mention you can rest assured the stripe will be a color other then red, green or blue.

same false truths and lies different time. maybe if a see a 500 zupapa NGHs lined up in a pic I will believe it. But I still would not buy it.

HAHAHA, 500 copies eh? I'd lay money on the table that this cart, like their NitD release, will never happen . . . who wants to put odds on it?

Anyway, the supposed release will have the freak URL on the back, reason enough to avoid it at all costs. I'll just pick up the MVS cart when it hits $50 or so, thats about what its worth . . .

500 copies, huh?!?
If Shawn is strugglin' to sell 500 copies of Metal Slug 3 and Sengoku 3, imagine how hard it will be for them with a nice game, but nowhere near those two (especially the Slug)...
It will never happen, at least not at that price...
Expect to see 50 copies for $399...
