MVS gamer eyeing AES hotness.

Through out the last 10 years I managed to collect a good amount of games on both mvs and aes. I have more Mvs carts than aes since some Aes games are out of my league price wise. I would say buy some of the more affordable games on Aes and the high end games on Mvs.

Go AES. We were all given two kidneys for a reason.

doesn't the system cost like 200$... how many mvs games cost that much more than aes versions?
isn't there a game out there you still want that you could get that gos in what you already have?
or if you're ''loaded'' go for it!

AFAIK, the only AES games that are less expensive than their MVS counterparts are Magician Lord and NAM-1975. All others are the same or less expensive on MVS.

AES, MVS, who cares, play the games and have fun however you see fit.

I owned an AES and jumped into MVS, I was able to get way more games for MVS (129) than I ever had with AES (22), granted some of these MVS games need to go to folks that play them more (Pop 'n Bounce sucks, thanks for that minty kit Ratson! lol) 'cause I certainly don't see myself playing some of these titles. I should sell, I know, it's a PITA though, I usually just buy, rarely sell.

If I were ever going to get back on an AES I would consider a few things:

1. Uni-Bios
2. Audio/Video Mod to stay up with the times.
3. Phantom Converter, might as well use them MVS carts as well.
4. Get into the cheap titles only.

When I look back at this list I just keep thinking I should just keep my 2 slot CMVS and be happy with that along with my MVS boards and cabs, why go AES...

...there's a thing about it, I dunno, it's weird. Back in the day it was surreal, it was awesome when KOF was hot and you'd come home to play some games after school and not even worry about subpar versions like the SNES Neo ports from back in the day...PSX also had a set of ports, better than SNES but still...

I filled the void of missing my AES when I got me a NGCD, it's console, it's cool and it offers a little different experience over the MVS counterpart, loading times are a bitch but for classic titles it's really not that big of a deal. Fatal Fury Special 365/24/7 it's the best ever!

Get one, go nuts, soon you'll get it off your system and sell it like most of us.

There are a handful of others that are marginally cheaper on AES, such as The Super Spy and Blue's Journey, but nothing really of note.

if you were thinking of aes, i would say jump on it asap before the games go more up in price. I've been with aes for 5 1/2 years and been able to rack up 69 games so far but its just hard to get those heavy hitter titles since they've skyrocketed in price

with mvs i've been collecting for about 2 years and im at 41 games. thankfully mvs is much cheaper and easier to collect.

69 games is impressive. Tried to think of a joke, but I got nothing.

Not really. That is purely an example of taking things to extremes and hording. Eight NGX systems?

You're calling 8man a hoarder?!

I'm guessing he wouldn't want to replace his big red, just have the AES on the side.

I wasn't suggesting he replace the big red, just have both systems (and most games still on MVS).

no doubt 8man has an amazing collection but unlike a hoarder, he has everything nicely organized and its not flooded all over the place.

Having multiple additional copies of something(s) that will never be touched/used once they are put into storage is a behavior that you would define as...what, exactly?

I don't harsh a man for wanting backup copies. Those Slug X carts are ticking time bombs.

Yeahh man, those NGX units just scream failure rate. You totally need a dozen, at least, just to be sure.

What do people get for NAM-75? I'm curious how inexpensive.

Nam '75 used to be like 15 bucks for the homecart, no lie, I mean brand fucking new, permanent maker spots all over them tatas and all.

Nam '75 MVS used to round about 30-40 bucks in those days, but things have changed, apparently everything is stupid expensive now for no good reason.
