Is the Kizuna Encounter US or Jap? I'd love to get it, but I'm only interested in complete US AES carts. Lemme know, and thanks!

[Arakon]

Yeah, like you'll get Kizuna Encounter US for 650.. if it even exists.

Good luck on the chances of that. There are only 2 known copies of a official U.S. version and anyone else who has a copy of this game will probably not speak up for their copy. This is most likly the Japanese version and to be honest if it IS a US copy it's probably been freaked. You can find more info on this version here...

If he DOES have this in a U.S. format and you get it, Count yourself as one of 3 known people here to have a version of this game. Good Luck. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

I think he meant that he would be the third owner.

Besides, I think if it IS an US Kizuna that a mad bidding war will commence.

If it is, I bid $700 and Chimpmeister's soul which I bought from NTM for two pigs and a sixer.

 

[Kyokugen Star]

C`mon guys, can`t you read? The first thing that appears when you go to Nikke`s page is that ALL his carts are the japanese versions.
So Kizuna will be no exception.

-Bronco

Anyway: Kizuna jp. is one of the rarest games
as well - I haven`t seen one for sale in a loooong time.

 

[Nikke]

The Kizuna cart is the Jap. version.

BTW I would never sell you guys a freaked cart. If it should come down to that I promise to put a yellow warning sticker on the cart that says "Freaked, stay away!"

Um read my post again before you try to correct me sir. I said he would be one of 3 KNOWN people. I.E. if it is a U.S. version and he BUYS it, He will be the 3RD person to speak up for this game.

You said you have sold copies of this game to people. If so I would like for them to speak up seeing as this version of Kinuza SEEM to be not around at all unless it's freaked!! <IMG SRC="smilies/shame.gif" border="0">

Nikke,
You're a very good seller and nobody is saying you would try to trick any of us from buying any NGF carts. The concern was that if you did have a U.S. version then that would be a 3rd copy finally appearing due to nobody really having this game in US format.

Adol,
No offense bud but I have to go with Shawn on this one. He's gotten a TON of Neo stock pass through his hands all these years and seeing as only 2 copies of a US Kinuza has been seen or known to be about which he OFFERED $200.00 for anyone to speak up if they had a copy of said game.

It's like that U.S. Aero Fighters 3 which is supposed to be out there. I think Shawn is still offering $200.00 for a legit picture of this game. I'd like to see it myself also come about. Until then, That version doesn't exist expect in NGF format which everyone who really collects Neo games knows is worthless! <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

 

[djbomberman]

Any complete MVS kits coming your way? I am interested in those most definately!!!!

 

[Geddon_jt]

I personally think that all this talk about "known copies" is rubbish. Of all the neo collectors in the world, only maybe 25% are still ACTIVELY collecting, maybe half of those are on the internet, and probably about a third of THAT number actually frequent this site enough to find the AF3 "$200 offer" or discussion about Kizuna US. The fact that it was only released in Europe makes it even harder for us to track it down here in the States. Which is why Adol is able to find carts like this and Ultimate11.

IMHO, Adol has as much - if not more - of an influence and ability to find these rare neo carts as Shawn.

 

[Nikke]

We are still VERY limited on MVS carts but I hope to change that in a close future.
As soon as we get a good solid supply of AES carts MVS is the next logical step.

The CD-ROM section will also continue to grow.

BTW thanks for taking your time reading my postings. <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">

I never said Adol's influence was in question. All I said was the truth. Only 2 people here have this game. Period. I know for a personal fact that a lot of copies were made but, nobody else around here seems to want to speak up for it. What I mean by known copies floating about is the fact that only Shawn and one other person here are known to have this game. So follow what I'm trying to say as I say 'known' copies. I never said Adol was wrong but, That game is never around much which makes it rare.

Geddon,you are missing the point.
Yeah,the U 11 and Kizuna are european carts but it's not up to Adol to set the rarity.
I'm in Europe and know MANY neogeo owner and MANY more not on the net,meeting them at neo meetings.

U 11 and Kizuna ,sure were made in at least 1000 pieces..but many of them,accordingly also to what Billy already told,were gotten back to japn by SNK and remade in Jpanese form.
Infact in 1996 Playstaion and other systems ruled and NONE cared about neogeo home carts.
That's why 1996 home carts are rare,like MS 1 ,Ninja master and so on.
As for euro home carts like Kizuna and U 11,they saw a smaller release,being euro only release,but more,they were sold in so few copies that SNK remade them in japanese form.
That's business.

What am I saying? Exactly the same that happened with the neogeo pocket US games when SNK USA went out of business.
They got back EVERY NGPocket US version game to convert them for Japan market.

The same goes with Kizuna and U 11.
That's why they are super rare.Really rare.

 

[FTL]

Also,Shawn as great experience in the rarity of home carts since he is dealing about them for years now.

As you can see,he got many Metal Slug 1 -jp and US-and many Ninja master and so on...so yes,the rarity provided by the price guide is in keeping with the real situation,OUTSIDE the net.

Yes,Metal slug 1 is more rare than Nam 75 and many others,even if you search all collectors in the USA and europe or Japan.

So what?
Man I get tired of this.

Let's say some rich fella in hong kong has 50 copies of KE-STB US that he uses as paper weights.
So what does that mean to us, nothing.
We don't know about them, we can't buy them.
We can't confirm them.
They mean jack shit to us.


Look guys, When Bonus-Kun say's
"Known copies"
He's right. Period.

As a group, thats all we know of at the moment.

No one is doubting you or Adol, so why are ya'll always fighting over semantics.

It's fair to say, Known, or thats all we know of at the moment.

Well, I agree with you Trey. You are 100% right. I guess my point was, what is "known to us" is really very irrelevant in the grand scheme of things, given the fraction of the neo collector community that we represent. Sure, its relevant because it is next to impossible for us to find these games - but that doesn't mean there are better or cheaper ways, if you are just lucky enough to tap into that part of the cart pool that isn't aware of the demand, or the scarcity of those games in "our circle." I hope that makes sense.

This is also why I am very skeptical about the use of a rarity system in the price guide, as it only represents the small part of the cart pool we see come through shawns hands, on ebay, and from a handful of overseas sellers. It should only be there if we had real quantity produced figures from SNK, which we don't. This is all just my take on the matter.

Yeah, then you will get shot by a psycho collector, upon revealing you have the damn thing, not a smart choice <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

I would take Adol's word first, he seems damned determined to the fact he has seen them.
He argued with shawn over this, and if I were him I would be pissed to see so many doubters over a game.
Lets see, there must be a LOAD of them some where if they are indeed real. Why?
You give me a good reason SNK would go to the trouble to produce only about 2 kizuna's?
BULLSHIT!
There has got to be more. Either that, or the english kizuna is a fraud. I agree with Adol. Why would he just make something like that up?
I mean damn.
