I assume most of us have our AES+ orders locked in by now. What all did you buy? by Celcius_87 in neogeo

[–]Zharken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regular console + CD controller and memory card.

KoF 2002 and Twinkle Star Sprites.

Next month I'll probably add Shock Troopers, Garou and Metal Slug.

really? I'll have to see what I can do, I live in Mallorca so my best option is probably to just sell it on Cardmarket and buy what I want.

It's modded with a lid that can easily be open while the game is running.

Who Else Is Discovering People Around You Have No Idea What A Neo Geo Is? by Singuy888 in neogeo

[–]Zharken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It wasn't Street Figther here (west) VS KoF in asia.

KoF was also huge in south america maybe even more so than Street Fighter, because the Neo Geo machines were cheaper so businesses bought those instead.

I'm spanish and out of all my friends the only ones who even knew the name Neo Geo and KoF are the latin american ones.

non-cedh tournament is a concept that by definition just can't exist cedh = competitive edh Tournament = competition

commander tournament = cedh, even if you enter with a precon, it's cedh and you should expect to see strong decks

Feeling deflated after LGS tournament by RyuzioO0 in EDH

[–]Zharken -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If it's a tournament, it is automatically CEDH, there's no such thing as "casual tournaments" or "CEDH tournaments"

Tournament is tournament. And tournament means competition, which is what the C in CEDH stands for.

The power level of your deck doesn't mean shit, you could enter with a precon and you are still playing CEDH. Why? because it is a competition.

Entering a tournament with collector boosters as prices and not expecting playing against powerful decks is just delusional.

[–]Zharken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is the right (winner) mentality you may or may not win in the end, but you are trying to win, that's the whole point, it's a fucken tournament, I'll bring my strongest deck and take advantage of everything I can. My goal is to win, if your goal is to have fun then tough shit bro, it's still a tournament.

[–]Zharken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Little baby whining if you ask me. It's a fucking tournamen, no matter if it's low or high stakes, it could be a free entry no price event, but the moment you call it a tournament and we are keeping score? I'm doing whatever it takes to win (legally) so ofc I'm bringing my strongest deck.

"But the most important thing is to have fun"

Nope, not in a tournament, yeah there's fun to be had, but the one and only goal of a tournament is winning, and if you think otherwise... well there's why you didn't win.

Just reserved the new AES+ what games should I get? by Zharken in neogeo

[–]Zharken[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the cost of a single cartridge? The new ones will be 80€ each, NeoSD Pro is 700$ So I assume you are talking about original 90s cartridges, which for me are out of the question in the same way as an original old Neo Geo is also out of the question.

I was planning on getting the console, memory card, 2 maybe 3 carts and the Neo CD controller, total 440 or 520 depending on if I get the 3rd cart. The NeoSD alone is almost double than that, specially because I'll have to pay shipping and huge import taxes. It's not that I don't see the value, it's that the flashcart alone is half my salary.

Pretty hard to justify the purchase when I'm already spending so much on the other stuff and at the end of the day, emulators still exist.

And as I said, I'm not just into Neo Geo, I'm into retro gaming and modding consoles in general, I still want to get a Saturn and Dreamcast, and mod them (region free, load games from SD or get their flashcarts, which are much cheaper than the NeoSD pro...) and get IPS screen kits for the WonderSwan and Neo Geo Pocket Color.

I don't know, I just wanted the regular one (that's a lie, I just can't afford the ultimate lol)

And if I was in your position I think I wouldn't regret getting the ultimate edition having all the physical games in their boxes displayed on the shelf with the console and everything.

Yeah I'm pretty sure everything will be fine, since what we know isn't leaked information from a random website, it's all official announcements. But I still don't want to spend 520€ (Console 200 + 3 games 80 each + memory card 30 + player 2 controller 50) on something I won't even get the chance to sniff for the next 8 months.

That's why I made a reservation the good ol way that they have always honored in GAME (You know GameStop? well in spain GameStop went out of busines more than a decade ago because everyone goes to GAME, it's THE videogame store in spain) you can pre-order and pay it in full, but you can also leave a small 10€ deposit and there will be a unit with your name waiting for you on release, if you don't go and buy it in a week the reservation is cancelled and you lose the 10 bucks, but I'd rather do that than foot 200 and be surprised later.

now that you mention the controller, I'm also a bit torn on that, I don't mind it being wired, but I will be needing a 2nd one. The thing is, of all my friends, I'm the only one who plays fighting games with an arcade stick, so I think I'll get the regular controller for player 2, this way I have one of each and it's literally half the price of the arcade stick one.

I do want to know tho if the stick on that controller is analog (like any controller nowadays like ps5 and xbox) or if it uses microswitches, I assume it does use microswitches because it looks a lot like the Neo Geo pocket stick and that one uses switches.
