Ditto here. I was a little skeptical when I first got it, but the pcb's did match up to MVS scans, and it worked just fine. Looked like the cart had only been used a couple of times, it was very clean (almost looked new), and the kit was complete.

With so many MVS carts for sale on eBay with no pics of the boards, I assume most people would steer clear, even when the seller has 100% pos feedback? The eBay feedback seems irrelevant if the majority of their sales are non-Neo Geo goods.

That's why you read the feedback instead of just looking at the percentage, which isn't a very good indicator because it only accounts for the most recent 12 months.

Arrived this morning, all seems to match the scans and looks legit to me (complete with "made in Korea"). The first time I've ever touched a brand new cart. I guess they never made an official MM for 4?

I assume it's simply $50 because nobody really wants 4. I played it until the sweet old homeless man drove me away on a motorcycle -- not bad!

Just got mine, looks exactly the same as those pictures. Label looks fake to me, like it was printed on really cheap paper, not sure if that's how they really were though.

jessiewonka, that's a real Metal Slug 4. It's supposed to look cheap like that. At the time SNK had effectively halted operations due to Aruze, development and publishing of titles was handled by other companies, including Brezzasoft and Playmore, until the formation of SNK Playmore when Playmore finally obtained all of SNK Corporation's assets from Aruze.

Mmm, it definitely has that Aruze odor.

Legit label.

And looks nicer than mine.

In general, Japanese have no love for Korean games--except KOF 2k2 and (one other I can't think of atm).
