omg load times.
I found if you played the same stage or same characters on CD, it drastically reduced the load times for the later fighting games. I'm surprised it was smart enough to keep that in memory. My friend and I would use the same characters in practice matches for Last Blade and there were almost no load time.

Not sure it was already said, but just noticed that the spines of these new re releases - at least from the pics taken in Japan and posted here a while back - appear to have a different game screenshot compared to the OG carts. I believe this is a good design choice to not make these cheaper versions of the games to look somehow same to the originals when placed on a shelf.

Yeah, it's standard. If you continue and play the same characters, no load time on basically every NGCD fighter. (y)

My brother (the one doing Youtube videos on the channel with me) lives in Tokyo, and got married last year. The shelves on the left side of my game room are mostly his shit I'm keeping stateside for him.

What's the "tater tots and ketchup" thing about? You are so strange.

@Neo Alec haven‘t you clocked kernow is just a troll? He is literally yanking himself raw right now waiting for you to react to him.

How can you take what transformers, rolex, no physical media unless it’s vinyl or AES goob says seriously?
I'm one of the only ones who clicks like on his posts, so he should stop biting the hand that feeds him. lol

Exactly which reference of submariner dated 1995/1996 is worth more than a new one. A Kermit?
Anything with Tritium dials, but to be honest with the recent price hikes it's about the same.

The only good thing that came out of the neo geo mini is the decals I bought from the SNK online store lol, I had to use buyee to fetch overseas merchandise back in 2019, I thought their website was still up but it only exists in archive.org now.

I would buy those hoodies and t shirts in a heartbeat, maybe Uniqlo can step in.

No, as opposed to the brother on the logo who doesn't make videos. Or the secret fourth basement brother.

The channel is named that because of how the four of us grew up playing video games. I think the old logo intro might have made that more clear.

In terms of the other project Plaion is working on, I’d guess it is a NGPC. They already worked out licensing stuff for the AES…and given all the renewed interest it’d be silly not to capitalize on it.

Also, on its own, a new NGPC probably wouldn’t garner a lot of interest, nor is there a huge library of games….but releasing it while the home system is so hyped I can absolutely see goobs wanting a NGPC to go along with their shiny new AES+. And a shelf full of those cute little baby snaplocks :love:

NGPC+ would be a weird situation where I'd be interested in the hardware but not really the games, except for a couple. Unless they did new English translations of some of the later titles that got left in Japan, which could be cool.

Modern ngpc would be the shit, especially if they do the pricey stuff like they're doing with aes+.
