All right, I know this has been done before...but I haven't seen a post like this in almost a year now, and as we all know, plenty of people have joined since then loco

Anyways, please list your favorite Japanese Insert, and favorite US Insert...try to limit it to one choice so as not to bog down the opinion I'm trying to collect

PS, this isn't a chance for MVS Collectors to brag about their shock boxes, and its not a chance for EXCLUSIVE collectors, whether they be US or Japanese, to rag on the others art style :cool:

Also, since NG.Com has pics of all the carts, this should be a poll for everyone to join in on. It'd be cool if you simply LINKED to your cart as opposed to placing the image in the thread, for all our 56k friends.

------------------

I already know Shawn's fave...but it wouldn't hurt to see him post to confirm it.

As for me?

US: Cyber Lip

<a href="http://www.neo-geo.com/snk/carts/us/cyberlip.jpg" target="_blank">http://www.neo-geo.com/snk/carts/us/cyberlip.jpg</a>

I really haven't seen such interesting artwork duplicated in the Neo library.

Jap: Real Bout 2

<a href="http://www.neo-geo.com/snk/carts/jap/realbout2.jpg" target="_blank">http://www.neo-geo.com/snk/carts/jap/realbout2.jpg</a>

I don't think it gets much better than this.

Your turn.

peace,
ray

US:

Kizuna Encounter : <a href="http://www.neo-geo.com/snk/carts/us/kizuna.jpg" target="_blank">http://www.neo-geo.com/snk/carts/us/kizuna.jpg</a>

I love the use of colour in the US Version, dynamic viewpoint, great use of scale (skyscrapers)

Jap:

Fatal Fury Special: <a href="http://www.neo-geo.com/snk/carts/jap/fatalfuryspecial.jpg" target="_blank">http://www.neo-geo.com/snk/carts/jap/fatalfuryspecial.jpg</a>

All the characters look great, and the boss collage at the top is excellent. Brilliant use of Background colour.

My favourite was SS3, but now I'm gonna have to say ROTD.

It's everything a video game cover should be: dynamic, colourful, well drawn, and it shows off all of the characters.

I like the logo too.

(I'm talking about the Japanese one.)

I don't have any US games, so I can't comment on the best US insert.

My 2 Favorite Inserts are both Japanese:


PULSTAR
<a href="http://www.neo-geo.com/snk/carts/jap/pulstar.jpg" target="_blank">http://www.neo-geo.com/snk/carts/jap/pulstar.jpg</a>

&

BLAZING STAR
<a href="http://www.neo-geo.com/snk/carts/jap/blazingstar.jpg" target="_blank">http://www.neo-geo.com/snk/carts/jap/blazingstar.jpg</a>

Yeah, I know you said 1 US and 1 Import, but these are my 2 favorite inserts of all the AES games. How ironic my 2 favorite inserts are JPN AES and I am a collector of Euro games only. Although, there are some JPN AES games I plan to buy because I have played them before and really enjoyed them.
