Neo-Geo after SNK/SNKP, still going

[vincewy]

It seems like there's no post regarding newest games coming out for the system (MVS/AES) so I'll kick start a thread.

Recently NG DEV Team in Germany and NCI in France have released limited amount of games. NCI is bringing back prototypes SNK and its developers never published. OTOH, NG DEV Team and Neobitz are creating completely new games.

NCI -

Bang Bang Busters - (AES/MVS/NGCD)
Treasures of the Caribbeans - (AES/MVS/NGCD)

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Bang-B...29060620484009


Neobitz -

Knight's Chance - (MVS/AES)





NG DEV Team -

Last Hope - (MVS/AES/Dreamcast/NGCD)
Fast Striker - (MVS/AES/Dreamcast)
Gunlord - (MVS/AES/Dreamcast)
Neo XYX - (MVS/AES/Dreamcast)
Razion - (MVS/AES)
Kraut Buster - (MVS/AES)







All titles are ported to AES, starting with Gunlord, which will use completely new cartridge shells, boards, and game cases

There're also some individuals creating consolized arcade units, on top of my head, we have

It seems like there's always market for the system and it just keeps going.

Haha, real walnut Neo Geos, classy.

It's nice to see NG DEV has found a way to make new AES games without sac'ing carts. I think they've already said they will be supplying NCI with parts too. It's hard to believe it took until 2011 for something like that to happen. A lot of original games will finally be saved.

Sweet jesus these games are still ~$600 and they aren't even official. And they sell out at that price. I remember SNKP's final releases in 03/04 approached a "mere" ~$400.

Neo Geo Neo Geo!

The OP might want to consider disabling smileys in his posts...

I was honestly thinking of getting an AES cartridge system since I'm starting to get into Fatal Fury and SNK fighters in general. This might just give me another motivation to do so.

I hope a Garou 2 proto shows up one of these days.

I don't recommend AES system, period, at this point, games are insanely expensive (it's only getting worse). That's why I posted a link for consolized MVS. It's not the only source to get such, but it's my favorite, Chris is planning to introduce new products and I hope it's even better than Walnut CMVS.

Another place selling CMVS:

but check around eBay for other bare/generic units.

[Parodius Duh!]

cool system but its not my cup of tea, I like to play more than 4 puzzle games, 20 fighters, and 12 shooters. Really cool they are releasing these prototype games.

[T2KFreeker]

Last Hope is awesome and Gunlord looks like it's gonna' rock!

[treismac]

Haha, real walnut Neo Geos, classy.

Beautiful, ain't it?

[thom_m]

Beautiful, ain't it?

Indeed. The Arcade Works one is beautiful as well - but not nearly as classy!

[TheChristoph]

I've been thinking about getting into the Neo scene by finding a good condition cabinet for my game room, but now I'm thinking about one of these consolized units... very tempting.

That, and the AES version of Samurai Spirits Zero Special was edited due to some slashing that took place prior to its release.

But damn do those cartridges look nice and it would be awesome to have a literally million-dollar collection. Currently my stance is "if I find AES games in the wild, I'll get into the system. Otherwise I'll just play the games thru ports."

I've got a board but it's getting hard to find someone available to consolize the thing. Most are rather busy with other projects.

I was the same way. Finally found an AES at a retro game shop. I had to get it, just because I could now and, I couldn't buy the only other ones I saw for sale in person back in 1990.

I like the CMVS units that reflect the AES look. They'd look great playing tandem side-by-side. I'd pass on the Woody though...

[Edmond Dantes]

I think the walnut looks pretty good, but its way too classy for my living room and would clash with the other consoles I've got around.

Unless someone wants to make me a walnut NES, Genesis and SNES as well. *Listens* nope, didn't think so.

You know you can play the unedited SSVS using a unibios, as long as your copy is not one that got sent back to SNK to get fixed.

Heh, I called it "classy" with a slight bit of facetiousness. It does look nice, but I find the concept of an real wood system hilarious. Although when I showed it to my fiance, now he's steadfast on making a wooden case for his Neo Geo his next project, haha. Our Neo Geo is already consolized, though. Considering how expensive it is to buy a consolized MVS, I'm surprised that there aren't more people doing it themselves. It really is quite easy, so it just comes down to if you think it's worth spending hundreds more just to have a super slick case (not that ours looks horrible; a two-slot already has metal casing and controller ports, so you can get the power supply inside of that and drill some holes for buttons, switches, jacks, etc., leaving you with a system that looks relatively like a home console). It's too bad that my fiance's mini-FAQ on MVS consolizing died with Geocities.

[Tempest]

Treasures of the Caribbeans - (both AES/MVS)

So they finally found this one? Awesome. Shame I sold my MVS collection last year, but perhaps I can play it in emulation.
