You are so correct. If I ever look for another flash cart I will.
I bought a Gunlord reprint, not sure if I want to wait another year, may cancel it. I mean those games are done, they should manufacture those in the mean time even if Kraut is taking longer than expected.I understand that people don't want to wait this long and I would be pissed too. I also understand that NGdev wants to release a complete game and work out all the kinks but it would be better if they opened up pre-order's when the game was close to being finished. That way they don't hold peoples money for damn near 2 years. This is why I canceled my pre-order awhile back. I wouldn't be surprised if this gets pushed to late 2017.
Watermelon did the same shit with the Pier Solar Re-Print. Ended up not even getting it but that's a different story.
This does feel like a longer delay than Razion or Neo XYX - wonder what's going on honestly.
I suppose that this game is the biggest one programming wise they ever did and I think they underestimated the work it needed to play good and look good.
I still haven't preordered yet. Probably wait until the last minute.
You sure there ever will be one? As I understand, this swansong is their retirement fund .
Yeah, that's when I pre-ordered - right at the start, and just after that I pre-ordered Last Hope and Gunlord. Just checked my reminder - ordered in 2015, its soon 2017. I can understand a delay on Kraut Busters because at the end of the day its creative works and they need to get it to a point they feel happy with what they've produced. But delaying other pre-orders just feels wrong imo. What worries me is they are A) breaking PayPal pre-order rules, and B) What happens if something happens to the developers. It's not a very good business model - they really should only start taking pre-orders a month or two before manufacture imo. What could mitigate all these concerns would be some regular (every other month) update - just to let us know that A) they are alive and B) status.Ordered 2 kraut Buster AES copies in June2015,still waiting!

if they just kept the customer in the loop a little bit better then they would face less scrutiny on a 3 year wait time. People won't mind waiting if they see more updates on what they paid for.
Why don't you slap the cuffs on them and rough them up? I heard you and your greasy ginzo cop buddies were good at that.
It's the NG DEV business model. Their methods have been scrutinized countless times over the years...to the point where you'd think everyone would be used to it by now. I doubt their way of doing things will ever be 100% accepted.
I was one of the people that had to have all their games at one time. I literally would have dropped 400 Euros on anything with their logo on it. I was so NG DEV that I even attempted to get that whole NG DEV scoreboard thing going. What a miserable failure and complete waste of my time that was. So finally I just woke up one day....looked at my shelf and that nice row of NG DEV games just sitting there covered in layers of dust and decided that was it....I'm done. So I sold them all and I don't miss having them. I realized that these are not Neo Geo games after all....they are just new games that can be played on a Neo Geo. Big difference. That's my opinion anyways.
