the screens look pretty awesome and I would love to play and support it.
But I'm not a AES collector, over 100 bucks for a consumer version and I am out.
I would rather forced limited credits as opposed to forced freeplay however. But It wouldn't be the first time I have had to rely on willpower in a shmup.

With the VAT operating both the importing of microchips and exporting of the final product. I would be quite surprised if even the "consumer" version ends up below 500 US dollars (or 360 Euros) outside the EU.
I doubt a CD release would be possible as in the interview they mention some of the BGs are 128 Mbs. And the NGCD only supports up to 56 Mbs of data at one time.
So...I guess it's going to a game way, WAY out of a lot of people's price range. And judging by the somewhat mixed reviews of the first NGDEV team game, I'm not sure I'd jump on board even if I had the money.
But I don't think they're making this game for me. I think it's more of a personal thing. I doubt they make a lot of money doing this. Seems more like a "break-even" kind of thing, or a passion.
And that's pretty cool.
I wish I had the knowledge to make NG or MD games myself.
P.S. Glad there will be no saccing of superior original NG games for inferior homebrew games this time around.

Yeah, ok. Doubt it'll look better than any official release post-1991.
SNKP is publishing? Huh.

Why did you dislike the game specifically?
I think it could depend on how well the initial arcade version does..they said they want to come in well under the current cave games price point..so perhaps that will intice more arcade operators to try it out...the mvs is still popular in some parts of the world so it could do well..if it does,and they make some profit from it,perhaps the "consumer " version comes in at a decent price. I can't believe it would come in as much as the last hope aes version....at least I hope not,as I am interested in the game.

If they try to compete against CAVE then Fast Striker better be damned good.
I'd like to give it a try but arcades are pretty much dead here in germany.

Never thought of that before, but yeah, that would be very cool. But if they were to do that, they'd probably add another $1000 to the price and claim it was dev costs.

Completely agreed, that's a big improvement.
Its always seemed more like a passion thing with, at best, a "part-time job" level of income. NGDEV team doesn't bother me, but...
The very existence of a market for that price range is a testament to the more embarrassing aspects of this hobby.
I like that they decided to go with the mvs format in hopes that more games can come from this later on. If prices for the carts are too expensive just a wait game in a few years to see what pops up on forums and ebays for hopefully lower prices. Just sucks that local arcades are nothing like they used to be in this area and others in the states.
2 of them and they're only getting more expensive.

I'm fascinated with this idea of a "home" MVS cart and one intended for commercial release. Obviously the arcade release will become the more desirable version, because of its perceived higher value.
I really like the way that NG: Dev Team has approached us as a market. They sac'd home carts for Last Hope, but they were always conscious of the fact that some people (e.g. me) thought sac'ing was a sacrilege, and have consistently presented themselves as lukewarm on the idea.
I like these guys and where they're going with the whole indie Neo Geo thing. Sadly, all independent developers are competing with all video games ever made, and the vast majority of indie devs just don't stack up. Last hope was no prize, but it's encouraging that somebody is trying.
