/vr/ - Retro Games

Pretty good if you like fighting games. Kinda shitty otherwise.

I love neogeo games l, but fuck all that shit is more expensive than buying an arcade machine of those games. It's really stupid!

THREE GAMES

FORTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARYDOOS

The neo-geo.com fanbase is the most cancerous and autistic gaming community there is. They inflated the price of the games so much that the market was flooded with bootlegs. This is probably the worst console to collect for.

Those were games that were suppose to have been destroyed/recalled. There's like 5 of them. It's not comparable to the arcade carts.

Amazing

>people that collect games for it
Stupid

>>3802436
Are you justifying these prices!

Dumbass!

>>3802224
I have one. I got a pretty good deal for it some time ago. Really good hardware for its time (It was arcade hardware after all) but it's waaaaay too expensive for what it is. I loved the Metal Slug games as a kid, and when I saw those prices, wanting to get a copy for my AVS, and the bootlegs I couldn't believe it. Also, most Neo collectors are absolute cancer.

>>3802449
Were you EVER going to buy ANY of those games at ANY price? No? Then why the fuck do you care?

>>3802502
well, how are we even gonna buy these games AT ALL if its at those prices?

>>3802502
Still trying to justify these prices!!

Double dumbass!

>>3802230
It has good puzzle games, run-and-guns, and shmups too.

>What does /vr/ think of the Neo Geo
It's a cool system with some classic games.

>the people that collect games for it
A mixture of equal parts jealousy and pity.

If you get one, or an arcade cabinet of one, do yourself a favor and go to aliexpress and get one of these, esp for the cabinet. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/most-popular-game-systems-Placa-Super-N-In-1-Card-120-Games-Neogeo-MVS/32480615831.html?spm=2114.01010208.3.55.KxVRld&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_4_10065_10000073_10068_10501_10000074_10503_10000032_119_10000030_10000026_10000023_431_10000069_10000068_10060_10062_10056_10055_10000062_10054_10000063_10059_10099_10000020_10000013_10103_10102_10000016_10096_10000056_10000059_10052_10053_10107_10050_10106_10051_10000097_10000094_10000007_10000050_10084_10083_10000100_10080_10000047_10082_10081_10110_10111_10112_10113_10114_10115_10000041_10000044_10078_10079_10000038_10073_10000035_10122_10123_10121_10124-10503_10501,searchweb201603_3,afswitch_4,ppcSwitch_5,single_sort_1_default&btsid=6a36d5c8-ba26-42dc-bb40-3ff0cae46f7d

It's so worth it. The home console is kinda shit. The arcade cabinets are fucking-A rad if you get one of these, and very easy to maintain, hardware-wise.

>>3802224
I love the games and i LOVE the system. It's probably the best gaming system ever made. I HATE the community. The trick is to play the games and avoid the retards that only bought into it for the prestige.

>>3802507
>I can't buy it, so it's not priced "properly".

Oh look. This argument again.

>>3802992
>Prestige

>>3802224
MVS collectors

A bit pricey but a decent way to get a genuine authentic arcade experience

AVS collectors

Complete autists buying the exact same thing with a fancy coat of paint for the sake of showing just how much money they can waste

>>3803065

>>3803062
There really aren't that many sane people who wold spend so much on these games. It's so niche and fucking exspensive. Honestly who fucking carez.

Metal slug what? Snk who? If they all vanished nobody would cry. Besides there are many other ways to play a lot of the neogeo games. And I don't give a Fuck about "muh preferred method gaming" meme. Kys, seriously nobody would care. Your mom probably wouldn't notice!

>>3802224
I think the neo geo is great and I think I'm a real swell guy. A lot of people who collect for it are cunts though.

>neo geo mostly just turned off staring my in the face

Thought about getting rid of it desu. I have a super gun so I can still play them on a CRT which is fine.

>>3803174
Why are you even here filthy playstation friend

>>3803218
Your neo geo cab wasn't a CRT? No wonder you lost all your friends. kek

>>3802992
>retards that only bought into it for the prestige.

Nobody buys Neo Geo games hoping people will respect them more for it.

>>3803174
>metal slug is a literally who series

>>3803334
Of course my Neo Geo cab isn't a crt, it's an arcade monitor ya dangus.

>>3803218

It's not the Neo Geo's fault you don't have any friends.

>neo
cool as shit
>collecting
one of my buddies used to collect AES
but he hit hard times and sold a bunch of it to pay the bills (although I think he still has an AES unit)
he got a CMVS and other than sentimental value (he's been involved with Neo collecting for years, back when SNK was still making games for it), he doesn't regret it since he can play the same games just as well with the cheaper arcade carts

there's no reason to collect AES these days
MVS game prices are mostly quite reasonable by arcade game standards, and MVS systems aren't too ridiculously pricey overall.
bootlegs are aggravating

>>3802224

Y'know, I find it kinda surprising that they apparently had the red MVS cabs in Japan. I assumed they'd only have the candy models.

>>3804764
Good catch. I thought that too. I just assumed everything looked like a SEGA City or whathaveyou.

>>3804772

Yeah, especially because they do have NeoGeo candy cabs. Even stranger is that they have western style sticks and buttons.

Perhaps some of the reds were manufactured in Japan, so they figured they'd try selling excess units domestically?

best baseball game ever? Baseball Star 2!
best golf game ever? Neo Turf Masters!

>>3804891

Football fever? Best football game too.

2020 Baseball was better than Baseball Stars 2

Lovely arcade system the community however is pure cancer

>the community however is pure cancer

That's not a nice thing to say about Mexico.
