Hey all,
Wasn't sure exactly where to put this topic, but it is regarding NEO BOMBERMAN MVS game. Now I recently purchased the game from NEO AYATO, and it arrived today. Ok it is cased in a white/cream SNK-G case with a yellow JAP warning sticker and jap label, which could be fake or has been reapplied. Now inside there are plenty of eproms, the top board is SNK and quite light in colour, and the bottom board is slightly darker with sony and toshiba chips, but no sign of the SNK label. So is this game a bootleg or is this how they were produced by SNK/hudson soft? Also the game seems to have certain menus in spanish.. well at least i think spanish... apart from that the instructions are english. And when I go to the MVS softdip setup there is no option to change the language. Again leading me to believe it is not original... Now if anyone with an original copy of this game could shed some light that would be great, as I have been looking long and hard for this game in the UK and feel a bit dissapointed. Thanks in advance!!

There are no eproms on the original Neo Bomberman. Original Japanese cart is black. Serial number is on the side, not the label.

Ok well thanks for the help... so mine is definitely a bootleg then... Also does anyone know why it might play in spanish? And on the real MVS setup for bomberman can you change the language?

The original Bomberman plays in Spanish, too. You can't change the language (and you can#t play it with more than 2 players).

the game will play in english, if you have a US bios, but nobody really does.

the bioses in us mvs boards are just set to english, hence euro, and in this case the default euro language in the game was set to spanish.

im pretty sure thats what someone said last time this came up.
