Poll: Fast Striker Reprint: Are you Ready to Preorder?

[RabbitTroop]

I'm still on board for the reprint if we can make it work. Not sure if we made a dent in the interest for a reprint, but I know there are other forums involved in this too. Definitely hope we see a reprint one of these days.

Hey, I am still down. Hoping for a spring 2013 release for my budget.

A bit off topic but for all you guys complaining about the weak dollar, the euro has actually dropped considerably against the dollar over the last couple of years. Same goes for pounds sterling against the dollar.

Please forgive the lengthy bump.

I am hoping some momentum can continue for the reprint (and the rest of the library) into this new year.

For what it's worth, I am now ready to pre order and hope some of you are ready/getting ready too.

It'd be great to get at least Fast Striker reprinted in 2013!

I'd love to buy NG Dev teams games. I own all of them on Dream Cast as they had a good deal for them all when Gun Lord game out. Granted my Gun Lord posters came in after the initial games, and they were not protected at all (like in a tub) and damaged beyond my liking. Which I thought ..okay I'll email NG Dev and ask for a replacement. I never got a reply even.

With that said, what if they sold just the boards for the games and the gam label? For those of us who want a AES or MVS copy? I say this because I have a MVS or two where the cartridge is the only thing of worth. Or I could buy a easy to find MVS/AES for the cart itself for 20 or so bucks to house the game in. Has anyone ever thought of this? I know for example "Stone age gamer" does this you can buy their PBC boards for their various ever drive games and you supply your own cart at less then half the price usually.

Im in NOW!

 

[jeffensminger]

I'm still in for one. Please let this happen!

 

[SNKorSWM]

There will probably be more people willing to buy once the tax returns start rolling in.

 

[medic_wheat]

Seriously no one has thought of just buying the boards and sticking them in a spare or easy to find MVS/AES cart? As a cheaper method of getting them?

 

[GohanX]

Compared to the price of the game itself, the price of a case is trivial. You might knock 20 euros off a 500 euro game.

Not sure how that would be any cheaper. The problem with the reprint is the size of Fast Striker and the special PCBs it requires. The shells and art aren't the problem for MVS.

Oh I was not aware that NG Dev team used special PCB boards. I had thought it was stored on eproms much like "bootleg" carts.

My thinking was..okay a bootleg cart usually goes for 60-80 dollars, so maybe the boards would be around that amount and we (Neo Geo Collectors) just supply our own cases.

Seeing how there was a recnet posting of a ebay bootleg NG Dev Team game.

So what makes the NG Dev Team boards diffrent? Are they increasing the original specks of the Neo Geo MVS/AES by adding more capability to their boards?

 

[pixeljunkie]

I would throw down $200 shipped on this any day. But with the dollar as it is and the fact they just want more than that. I'm out.

NG: DEV release their games cheaper on the Dreamcast, for those who aren't into ROM cart prices.

 

[jeffensminger]

You gotta pay to play....and by "pay", i mean an insane amount of money for a video game. With that said, i am ready to pay that price. Bring it on!

 

[Mendel]

I have it for the Dreamcast already.

Also: For the price of the MVS cart you could buy at ebay today:
Dreamcast console, very nice bundle with games and controllers and such 60 usd
Fast Striker for Dreamcast, expensive ebay price 45 usd

And directly from Viletim
Viletim´s Scart to jamma adapter v2 105 usd
jamma passthrough for padhacks 22 usd

And from this fine forum
Lemony Vengeance´s Dreamcast padhack 100usd

total 332 (add maybe 50 usd to total for shipping costs) and that leaves you not only with Fast Striker on your cabinet... you also have some other games from the Dreamcast bundle you just bought... and you have a platform for cheap ng:dev team games on your cab ( a lot cheaper neo xyx for instance) and you can get cps2 ports like Mars Matrix and Gigawing...

Or you can use that money to preorder just Fast Striker cart.

Still. Port is a port. MVS is the original version. It plays more like a coin op game. And you get to support the team if you buy the MVS version.

Just food for thought.

 

[theMot]

I have too much money and not much brain. Sell me the game!

 

[SNKorSWM]

9 down, 16 to go.

 

[cools]

I'd take a copy at the stated price, so long as it's the full coinop version - not a cut down freeplay only one.

 

[xb74]

I am hoping NG DEV Team will chime in at some point with either encouragement or perhaps a reality check that it's not going to happen anytime soon so stop the wishful thinking and stop asking about a reprint you clowns.

If 25 reprints came up for preorder they would be gone in a day.

Yes, but paying $1.33 for a euro is a hard bite when we used to be able to get them for about 85 cents. Used to may be 12 years ago, but it's still hard. Better than $1.60, but not great.
