So I can play the game equally as well on either. But which is likely the better investment?

Definitely MVS. When the apocalypse hits, the cardboard box will last longer in the burn barrel you’re huddled around.

This made me laugh hard haha
Best bet, go with an MVS one
If buying from freebay ask for PCB pics, most sellers are scammers there ...
Got one original years ago for 20eur... Now the prices are insane...
So you're asking which one can you flip harder later? This should end well.
Honest question: what's wrong with asking which of the two will better retain their value over time?
We all go through phases in our lives where we're obsessed with something, be it photography equipment, hi-fi, videogames, etc... And then one day we'll just get tired of it and want to invest in a new hobby and sell what we bought previously.
Is it really frowned that hard upon discussing if MVS or AES will better retain their value in, say, 3-5 years?

Yes, because then your only interested in owning the game to eventually flip, and not just play.
You have a NeoSD and yet you engaged the forum because you were seriously contemplating the purchase of the actual cartridge? Worse yet you now concede its value is of concern? You weren't thinking you should invest in video games did you? Lol wow.
I think that's a black and white view of a subject with shades of gray. "Flip" tends to imply purchasing with the intent to sell for profit, usually in the short term. This is not the same as purchasing something you plan to use and enjoy, and then hope you can get your money out of later if you need/want to.
The price of MOTW has never fallen.

I see that as one possibility. It's also possible there will be a minority who finds physical media novel and still enjoys collecting it. Perhaps kind of like collectors of vinyl or other outdated media now. They will still be antiques, and the games of lesser print runs may still be valuable as historical items.All these cartridges will be worth bunk in 40 years. The generation being born now is going to look at their grandparents shelves of physical games, movies, music and literature, and they'll send it all to Goodwill. Why bother with all that physical stuff when every bit of it and more is accessible from their wristwatch or mobile phone?
This is incorrect.
The price of MOTW on MVS is currently less than it was upon release.
For many years the cart price fluctuated. For example, I paid $135 for it in 2014, yet it was subsequently available for $100 or less for a couple of years on eBay. Much like Blazing Star, MOTW is a relatively common cart and the price is artificially high due to the perceived quality and desirability of the game rather than its rarity.
