YYYEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!!!
Nice one, However, are they also persuing legal action against a very nice man in Canada who converts MVS games to AES, puts them in lovely boxes, does not rip people off and does a good job of the conversion?

Hope not......

Playmore's stance is that they will not supply anyone (and I do mean anyone) with individual AES component parts.

Collectors breath a sigh of relief. Playmore will not be releasing or indeed re-releasing any of SNK's back catalogue. So those of you hoping to see Metal Slug or Blazing Star re-released on AES - forget it. It's never going to happen.

MVS only titles will remain like that. So no official releases of Zupapa, Strikers 1945 or SDB (to name but a few).

Fuck off guy. I would love to see titles re-released or MVS only titles brought home. fuck the collectors. this shit is not an investment. learn how to play the stock market.

Yes, Virginia... there *IS* a Santa Claus.


Guess all that paperwork doesn't exist? Or is that freaked too? lol!!!

well, all I have to say is... they had it coming and I hope it goes through. I don't wish ill will on anyone really, I just want them to stop their freaking destruction. A cease and desist order would do me just fine.

I don't think they can do anything about that though, as they own the stock they have and can do what they please with it. I think all it will stop is the conversions and prototype releases and if they buy direct, they can't redo the packaging.


Here's to blind faith. (in Playmore and the legal system.. not the shitty 80's song..)

I would love to see games like Metal Slug AES re-released on homecart.

Then watch how fucking fast 90% of these homecart jokers throw their shit up on eBay and leave the Neo like a cheap hooker.

Re-release all the rare games, and the Neo will fucking bottom out like Magic the Gathering did back in 95-96 after they re-released all the rare cards, 3 monthes after they did that shit NO ONE played anymore, we went from like 30+ people playing in friday nights to like 8-10, it was real sad.

I agree to. I would laugh for a week straight at all the people who paid over $1500 for Metal Slug 1.

These people don't deserve to own Neo carts when they just stick it on their shelf in a plastic baggie and never touch it again. Most normal people buy games to play. It's not a fucking investment. <img src="graemlins/ohno.gif" border="0" alt="[Oh No]" />

Dude, that's some sour grapes shit if I ever saw it. The fact is, if you want Metal Slug, you can get it for $50. There's this magical thing called MVS. It renders all that 'collector' bullshit you rail about MOOT. You wanna blame someone for the high prices, blame the dumbasses out there who are willing to shell out $1500+ for one game. The way I see it, those crazy values for the '96 games are kind of a misguided 'reward' for those who stuck by the Neo's side when the sexier PS and Saturn reared their heads instead of dumping their shit and going next-gen. I, like many folks, dumped mine for the likes of Ridge Racer and Street Fighter Alpha, and came to regret it later. Am I crying now because I don't have a Slug 1? Hell no. 'Cause if all you want is the games, you'd do like I do and grab a Sigma, a 4-slot, and enjoy the good shit. If you start talking about how cool the insert, art, and English manuals are, than you're just as concerned about the collector angle as much as the schmuck paying $1600. The only difference is that you don't have the cash, and that's why you're bitter.

as for people selling their stuff on ebay if playmore decides to re-release older AES carts
i say great more for the gamers,

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but isn't this a fake account ?

Just because everytime we talk about the "Las vegas" company, a new account happears around these boards.

Like I said, forgive me if I'm wrong.

I don't think it would be costly for them and they would make money from it. There is a lot of demand for Metal Slug AES, that's why its price is so high. Personally I think it a shame that they released the pile of shit that is Metal Slug 4 on AES, when they could have used the money to make MS Aes.

I don't quite think you have a grip of finance do you? Do you realise exactly how many carts Playmore would have to produce and sell of any one particular title to just break even? Even then there is no gurantee that those carts will all sell.

If Shawn still has several hundred Metal Slug 3 US carts sitting in his stock room nearly two years after the game was released, do you really think Playmore are going to shift enough Metal Slug AES carts to make it pay? They would probably need to sell over a thousand carts...

It ain't gonna happen. The cheapest way of getting Metal Slug is going to Japan to buy it personally or buy it on MVS/CD.

In 8th grade I did, what's so funny about it? It used to be a fun game, when I was in 8th grade.

You used to collect AES carts, and you're like 20, I find that pretty funny, cause anyone who does needs to be admitted to a hospital. I can see a rich kid wasting money on those damn things, but grown men should have more common sense about the worth of money, and not waste it on hunks of worthless plastic.

I'm sure I could find more people who would find spending 800 dollars on a videogame a lot funnier than playing Magic anyday. Besides you collect AES for yourself, we used to play Magic because the other people made it fun, it was just to hang out.

Anyways, BOOOOOOOOOOONG.
