On October 27, 2012 I bought a Neo Geo X. I loved a lot of the games it came with. In particular Mutation Nation and Last Resort. Back when the Neo Geo was new and in the arcades I never got to play. I only ever watched the older kids play. So this was really my first experience with SNK games. I know a lot of you hate the NGX but the handheld unit is pretty good, but way over priced. The NGX docking station for displaying on your TV is complete garbage. I understand why SNK wanted to pull he plug on the NGX. I paid full retail and it still stings.
On October 17, 2013 I bought a boxed NGPC that came with three boxed games. I paid $144 CAD. I wish it was backlit but it's still a great little handheld system.
I got my Neo Geo AES December 27, 2013. Over the following six months I bought all the complete sub $100 games I could find and two sub $200 games.
And just like some of you predicted I've started evolving towards the MVS!
In the past month or so I've purchased 15 MVS carts. And I'm currently looking for an excellent condition 4-slot big red. It think it will take a long time before I find one but I'm hoping one will come along.
