My latest purchase, Aero Fighters 2 MVS. Original euro label over what it seems to be an also original jap label, was this common in SNK?

Pre-cleaning pic. As you can see someone spilled blue paint over the cartridge. Hooray for the idiot.


Post cleaning pic.


I cleaned the plastic with the following:
- Goo Gone (no luck, respects the paint)
- Acetone (takes away the paint and also the shinning of the plastic, so I only used it on a small area and applied a plastic repairing gel afterwards)
- Alcohol. This one is the way to go. Removes the paint but the plastic stays alright.

To clean the label what I did was to scratch the paint with a small flat screwdriver (Wiha by Xiaomi). I only did it on the white areas since a bit of the label gets also scratched so, if done over the black parts I'd ruin them. Maybe it helped here the double label.

BTW, AF2 is one of my favorite games ever.

It has been a while since my last MVS pickup and whilst I usual prefer original labels the price was right with this one. Besides I hardly ever see a clean label FFS due to it being an earlier non-glossy label release. I managed to get some nice A4 sticker paper and did this on my laser printer at home, not too bad to be fair :) - Big thanks to Jamma Nation X for the label downloads!

Before:

After (including a deep clean of the shell and PCBs):

Got bored of my Aqua Game Boy so got a new shell and glass screen cover with the decals on it.

Played a lot when I was a kid, getting the rythm again but I can't seem to get over stage 8 just yet (arcade mode). I just happen to have two potatoes for hands.

EDIT: Not sure if considered a purchase but the wife got these two for my birthday this past saturday.

I’m still waiting for my copy of Ketsui to arrive :drool:

amazon.co.jp actually cancelled my limited edition version. I currently have a case open on that, but i don't think it will lead anywhere. So i ordered the regular edition last Friday and got it yesterday. Sucks they cancelled my original order. I'm guessing they didn't have enough of the limited item to go around. But at least the shipping is 10x faster than play-asia

Amazon Japan has legit super fast shipping that’s usually cheaper than Play-Asia’s slow boat shipping. They’re my go to for import games or any Japanese goods now.

I have a Metal Slug 3 (transparent body) with a blue one, was about to ask about it. I really don't know if it's this way from factory or a substitution (which makes no sense...)

These are quite common with certain titles. Bang Bead is another.
