Kizuna AES

Can anybody explain to me why NEVER EVER a copy (either jp or US) of this game pops up anywhere dammit?! Is it that good that nobody wants to part with it or what is the reason? Observing Ebay lately makes me believe that e.g. TSS is as common as the daily sunrise in comparison to Kizuna. <IMG SRC="smilies/annoyed.gif" border="0">

The problem is that this game is VERY popular in Japan, so japanese collectors and gamers tend to keep it.
And for the U.S./Euro ones... well, you already know... <IMG SRC="smilies/cool.gif" border="0">

fuckin hell.....

About the quality of the game-
yes,i think it is very good!
Much superior to it's forerunner SAVAGE REIGN:control is better,gameplay is almost twice as fast,the bosses aren't THAT cheap,and the tag-team thing is of more use than the 'plane switching' in FF ever was.
The only thing that bugs me:it could have needed a few more backgrounds...

Something personal:I bought this game at a time when seemingly nobody seemed to care about the NEO anymore.
The only info i had about it was 1 pic-and that it is the sequel to REIGN,so i felt a little bit silly when i bought the game for it's "high" price..

So i was pleasently suprised when the game turned out to be GOOD!Somehow,nobody else seemed to have it,so it was 'my' find... <IMG SRC="smilies/glee.gif" border="0">
Thats a reason why I dont part with my Euro/US version of the game,not even for these mad prices.(IF somebody would pay that!I still doubt it!Where did the Price List find that insane amount anyway???)

Oh,and to Kyokugen Star:it's scarcity might be partially YOUR fault! <IMG SRC="smilies/wink.gif" border="0">
If there had been a review of it in the VIDEO GAMES,more people might have bought it.... <IMG SRC="smilies/frown.gif" border="0">

Herzog Drei ... drool ... envy ... all the emoticons offered here are not sufficient to express what I`m feeling right now ... <IMG SRC="smilies/wink.gif" border="0">

Congratulations on your KE Euro. Do you remember where you bought it? Just curious (Maro?).

And: Believe me, I for myself would have reviewed it in our mag if it was not for our editor-in-chief Zengerle at that time who treated the Neo as an archaic pile of thrash So it revceived very little to no coverage at all but that`s another sad story. <IMG SRC="smilies/crying.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/mad2.gif" border="0">

Taking that into consideration,you Neo-lovers did a fine job in your mag.
I think that a big part of the Neo's (albeight small) popularity in the german-speaking area was your merit- MY interest was raised after reading a SS preview back in 93 in the VG..
Look what happened to Ultimate 11 without your review-that one is maddening rare,too <IMG SRC="smilies/frown.gif" border="0">

Yes,i got my game from MARO,and i remember they stated to have 2 more and that 'no one wants them'!
(But still not sure about their 'US Pulstar'.. <IMG SRC="smilies/spock.gif" border="0"> )
If i just had known back then what the game will be worth... <IMG SRC="smilies/drool2.gif" border="0">
Well,i guess i can't complain-got my US MS1,Pulstar and Blazing Star from them,too!
Are these guys still dealing with neo?
The last multiformat mag MANIAC doesn't feature any ads from them...

Laurent had one?!? How much he asked?

Thanks for the kind words Herzog Drei. <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">
And yes, RobZäng the Neo hater - I remember that issue when he would not even let us print 1 (!) screenshot of RB Special in the news section but we finally managed to deceive him and get it in. <IMG SRC="smilies/glee.gif" border="0">

But i don`t believe in US Pulstar. Nowadays they are pretty much dead. Look at their website. They have almost nothing Neo related any more.

`no one wants them` AAAArrrgl. <starts banging his head against the wall crying in vain>: Why didn`t I buy it, why, why, why?! <IMG SRC="smilies/frown.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/frown.gif" border="0">

Hmm..Possible reasons in 96:
AOF 3
SS 4
KOF 96
FF RBS
MS 1

Poor little Kizuna never stood a chance... <IMG SRC="smilies/crying.gif" border="0">
