You know what? This is starting to become &##$%! aggrevating to me! It seems like everthing is pointing to getting a AES home system... AND NOBODY MAKES THEM ANYMORE!!! I'm just deciding to make up my mind to work towards MVS, now this...this bull*&^%$!!!
Everbody and there mom says MVS is the best way to get into the Neo scene without hurting your bank account too much and now, after all these years, they want to pull the plug on MVS!?!? WTF PEOPLE!!!
Now, I have to get a AES system, Phantom 1 adapter, and get the games on top of that!?! Man...this better not be a sign of things to come...for real. First they want to bring out SamSho 5 without an English story line and now they're thinking about going straight JAMMA boards!?!? Man, I'm about ready to give up ya'll. Thank God I still have my Dreamcast. At least I can enjoy some good 2-D until they figure out what the HELL they want to do!
Since you apparently could not possibly be more new to the scene, I'd avise for you to listen more than you talk. First, it's not like there are going to be a ton more releases anyway. You can get 99.9% of all MVS releases on a cart and 95% for the same or lower price than a home cart.
Second, and this is for everyone, they will eventually release a MVS cart for SVC. We can assume MS5 will be the same. It appears as though the boards come out first because they think those make it harder to bootleg. If SNKP tells all arcade owners that for the next 5 months the only official release is a jamma board then the bootleggers lose. Well, that's what I think their line of thinking is. This doesn't mean they are stupid and don't know that tons of their customers want a MVS cart...
Patience will save a lot of you a lot of headaches. It's not like there is a shortage of games on the market... If it's that important to you all home systems are not that tough to obtain and buying a system + the homecart isn't going to put you back all that much in the big picture of Neo-Geo collecting.
By the way, you do realize that the cost efficiency of the MVS is lost on new releases, right??? Oh, and pass up the phantom-1 idea. Those things are not 100% reliable. (They aren't official)
