I would buy NITD converted just to play the game. Isn’t this what it’s all about, to play the game. I have been playing and buying NEO GEO games for a long time. Yes, I’m selling some now. But, I will buy it back again. Sure, I have the PSone, PSX 2, DC, and the Intellivision. But, I always go back to the Neo Geo because I love to bash buttons and not because the cart was original. People that care so much about the originality of the games are the same ones that go to Blockbuster and rent games to copy them. I’ll continue to send my games to Jeff to get them converted because my Thai ass is not going to pay 1,500 bones for Metal Slug 1 just to have the original and never play with it. I have my opinions about the US Metal Slug 3 three. I won’t say it because you already know it.

Pichai I have to disagree with your statements. It DOES matter if a home cart is original or not, a lot. While I actually totally agree with your statement about Metal Slug 1 (I had one converted by Jeff too), overall I would ALWAYS prefer to have ORIGINAL SNK PRODUCT, and not a conversion.
It matters if home carts are real, because each one is a work of art in a way. The insert and manual add a lot to the games, and if they're some fake shit made by clowns on their PC and printed on a cheap inkjet printer, they're not worth it. Now if they're really professionally printed, that's OK, but in the case of the fake KOF2K English cart the differences are noticeable and the ugly URL gives them away.
As for the English MS3, you can have your own opinions but I have the cart right here in my room, and I can tell you that it follows all SNK style/format 100%. I don't know why you can't figure that out, maybe you don't like Shawn for some reason but since you don't have the cart, I guess you can't really say eh?
For all the WHINERS here, get over it; the cart is AUTHENTIC SNK ORIGINAL, VERY well done, and its over. Take your toys home if you want to sulk, and in the meantime I'll gladly play with this AUTHENTIC cart and be happy!! <IMG SRC="smilies/glee.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/glee.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/glee.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/glee.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/glee.gif" border="0">
