I'd probably buy a Neo Geo home system before buying a 360, Wii or PS3.


I was going to get an AES or MVS, but instead bought the ps2 releases of the games I wanted. Metal Slug Anthology pwns!!! It sure beats the the neogeo carts pricewise, haha. There is also an official aes controller for ps2 that is super awesome. My local import shop has the mai version in stock  8)

I don't own any import N64 games. Would I be able to play it on my US N64 or would I have to mod the console somehow?

If I decide to buy it I'll probably do what you said and just get the "real" version.


There are 2 square notches in the cart port of the N64. Those are the only things keeping you from playing a Japanese cart. If you have a small dremel kit you can chisel them out. Much cheaper then buying a bridge adapter.
As for Sin and Punishments graphics,I didn't like them at all either,characters or environments. I enjoy rail shooters too,but this one I just couldn't get into. I could see it looking better if the N64 emulation runs at a higher res on Wii,and if so I would be willing to give it another go on that platform.

We had a discussion about how the original Neo·Geo AES sticks suck compared to the PS2 version before. Lemme see if I can find the thread.

Wrong link,and its not the AES sticks that suck. Its the NeoGeo Cd pads that do. So far Joe is the only person that I know of thats managed to destroy a AES stick. The PS 2 AES style sticks are basically the same as the original AES ones,with extra buttons.

I did?  Mine still works.  The base does have a hairline crack due to the fairly weak plastic and hollow innards, but it is 100% fully functional.

Too bad,MSA for the ps2 suffers from controller lag up through MS 1-3 etc.

The most advantage i see in that is it has,MS6 wich was only on the atomiswave for the arcades.

As for beating it prices please it didn't cost me a fortune to get MS 1-5 on mvs.

It only hurts though getting it on AES of corse.

Kind of sad realy snkp got it right for other the collections...but can't emulate msa right for the ps2  :P

Thats what I was referring to,as Id never use something after it had  a big crack in it. Too ugly for my love.

The Rickroll stopped being funny about 30 years ago.  Wait, that's not true..... it was never funny.

Cool thanks, so it's exactly like what I had to do to my SNES to play SFC carts I guess. Gotta love Nintendo and their cheap region protection!

You don't have to carve anything, if you have the bit that opens SNES/N64 systems you can just take the gray plastic piece out or use a gameshark instead of converter since those are like $1 or free.

How do you deal with the typical hairline cracks that form in the ball on the stick over most NeoGeo controllers?  Mine doesn't have that, but probably more than 50% of them in the world do.  If only SNK manufactured those things to be less pussified, they wouldn't do that.  I should sell my crackless ball on eBay for $1000.
