Neato! How good is the game library for this system. It's kind of odd that they'd sell this now.

I just called a couple GameStops and at the moment they are only offering it on their website. it may or may not ever hit the stores.
I wonder why these are popping up all of a sudden, has anyone heard these were coming?

The library is small, but one of the best EVER for aportable console. I can't stop talking about Gals Fighters, SNK vs. Capcom, Neo Turf Masters, and Baseball Stars...just to name a few. It's cryin shame that Nintendo dominates this market.

Yeah, someone posted about this a few weeks ago. Gamestop has a similar deal listed on it's site $69.99 w/six games-but I think they are worse games. No store employees seem to have any knowledge of this-- has anyone actually ordered and received one? ( i just bought mine ebay $22 -no games)

Rumor I heard was that they're not even preowned, but when everything got sent back to SNK, they trashed all the boxes & docs for some reason. So then Playmore buys what's left of SNK, and they have all these cartridges laying around. What to do, what to do...

Nope....the boxes and manuals were never even MADE. When SNK went down stateside, they just stopped production dead on everything for the NGPC, and warehoused all their loose brand new carts. From what I understand, all that stock has been getting sold off by Playmore/SNK this year and hitting the markets now. IT's gonna make cart only NGPC games even more common and complete ones SUPER rare. It's also why you're seeing official cart only US Faseleis and US Pocket Reversis on the market.....they didn't make it to box production.

A booth at the expo this weekend was selling this for $120...I'm glad I didn't buy it there.

Uhhh, both places sell the same package with the same games. Both myself and my friend who still works at gamestop had no clue the site had it until one of our friends tried to get one at the store. Only through the site.
If I weren't getting one in the mail I'd be all over it.

Ebay would be a great start, or if your into emulation use newsgroups to find it around there.
