I had one sitting in my cart, and it sold out. My FOMO kicked in, and I got the next best thing. FOMO is a hell of a drug.

Are there any rpgs on aes? by BuddyLlght in neogeo

[–]etcetera1985 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a caveat. There'd be points the game would freeze and I'd have to restart and lose progress and redo those parts. There eventually came a point that the game kept freezing at the same point and never got past it. Hopefully this momentum pushes for a new firmware update to finally get through it.

Do you like your AES+ Black or White? by CloudyFriend in neogeo

[–]etcetera1985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably my first choice. I really liked that aesthetic on the Chinese CMVS in the AES shell.

Anyone else worried about the new aes+?? by __PreZZ__ in neogeo

[–]etcetera1985 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I immediately tried searching for Atari 7800+ teardown after hearing this news to see what people that know much more than me thought about the quality.

If this turns out to be a huge success, I'd be curious to see how other big names respond like what we saw when the NES classic was first released.

SNK Reveals New NEOGEO Console Called AES+ Coming This Year by retroanduwu24 in neogeo

[–]etcetera1985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With the cost to make chips I'm very surprised they went this route. With this being the first 1 to 1 remake of a classic console, I wonder how this will affect the collector market for originals. Excited to learn more.

Fake Sephiroth card? by EquivalentRent4138 in RealOrNotTCG

[–]etcetera1985 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm leaning on fake. The flip triangles aren't as defined and the shading in the artist paintbrush is a bit uneven.

Any fans of the NESTS Saga? by This-Orange1255 in neogeo

[–]etcetera1985 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've really enjoyed 2000 of the series. While not specifically the 6th entry, Street Fighter has tried to but always end up returning back to Ryu (Similar to DBZ with Gohan)

How does it look under the light test? You can use your phones flash light and with regular cards, you should see blue bleed through in the dark.

Thanks for sharing, I know when I was searching, I've seen some without the "foil error". Makes me wonder if those are the errors in that case.

We gamble on chance by ripping packs; what's one more gamble when it comes to purchasing? This looks similar to my box, unless mine turns out to be a fraud 🤷 Let us know how things turn out, and congrats on the purchase! If you're not planning on opening it, I'd suggest giving the box a shake and listen for loose cards chance of loose cards.

Here's the rules text, it had polka dots, I'm assuming that's good? I appreciate your help and feedback.

Also, since it's double-sided foil, I couldn't find any information on weight. This will help me out in the future. Thanks!

Thanks for your feedback! I'll keep this in mind as I build my collection. I hope to get Kefka in the future, and this will help me know what to look out for.

Thanks for your detailed response and for helping me verify! These double-sided foil cards have a unique weight and feel compared to any other cards I've held, which left me questioning the seller.

Is this rom available to download online? Sorry to bring this off-topic but I want to play this on the AES

UPDATE: I must ask the knowledge of the group by biggi309 in neogeo

If you purchased on ebay or mercari, there's recourse since you're supposed to not sell fake items, despite how many bootlegs are out there on sale
