Worth spending the extra $100 for the MVS cart. Especially when there is already netplay via Fightcade. You could argue that sales would support SNK. Then again, it could send the message that they can charge $10 for roms and just keep re-selling the same IP over and over again.

OR it could support the continued IP and give hope for Last Blade 3...
But I'm a cynic too.
If they do announce a direct successor one day I will eat my cart copy (sorry BB).

While I would love to see anything indicative of a LB3 release, I'm still taking the position that this is all just a cash grab for SNK. The most that we can hope for outsid of the reality distortion field would be more LB Fighters included in KOFXV

Complaining about a business going for a cash grab in a capitalistic society is asinine. They are in the business of making money. While doing so, they are making a great game available to even more people, therefore increasing awareness of the game, creating new fans, and ultimately helping their brand.
I see no problem whatsoever with this or any other similar attempts by other companies.

How many times am I expected to buy Super Mario Bros. 3 (NES/SNES/GBA/WII/WIIU/3DS/NES MINI)? That's really the problem. They made a game and sell it over and over again and again. Sure, they end up getting it into the hands of new gamers. But the charm of playing it on the original cart and hardware never gets old. And they are not really offering anything new for long time fans of the game.

That's not a fair comparison though. Nintendo not enabling cross buy on the Wii, 3DS, and Wii U Virtual Conoles is ridiculous. SNK isn't a platform holder anymore, so they have limited ability to give you access to other versions if you buy one.
Your point about original hardware of course is spot on. That's a whole different discussion though.

I'll do it. And I'll raise the ante by letting you put whatever text you want on my avatar hat for six calendar months.
LB is my favorite fighter of all time but I've lost hope for LB3. Cameo appearances or another team inclusion in another KOF? Totally feasible and inevitable.

I'd bet on them in a sequel to NGBC or a new Capcom vs SNK title first. Nakoruru seemed like quite a stretch to get her in there.

like I said in the KOF thread some weeks ago: Since Nakoruru has been in plenty games outside of SamSho, it didn't surprise/interest me that much.

and as said probably a bunch of times she was always in games where story didn't exist or was plain silly (besides Samurai Shodown). This was the 1st time she was in something with a story behind it and it was silly fishy she was even there. Can they... yes... they could have World Heroes take over the professor's time travel thingie and just have any old team in there if they want a stupid as hell story. But will they... doubtful.

They're too busy curing cancer and ending racism and terrorism.
Maybe after those impossible goals are achieved, they can just make new games because that's so easy for SNK to do in this market and economy.

You can buy SMB3 as many times as you want or as few times as you want. No one has a gun to your head.
