Exactly....this guys lost the plot..., anyway a complete 'ORIGINAL' kit is only worth £70-80....& !ARCADE! never converted that title...& this has no booklet...so there you go.

!Arcade! did, infact, convert this title. I think it was one of the lowest runs they did for a MVS to AES conversion. It never came with a manual.

I can host pics if you'd like, simply send them to kpjr@wowway.com

Hmmm....well we need more input here....as i cannot see !ARCADE!...producing a title with no manual....?...very strange indeed.
Btw....i wonder if it has the gold leaf neo logo?...

I believe NiTD wasn't their only title that lacked a manual. Bust-a-Move 1 & EX were also released without manuals. I may have pictures somewhere. I'll try to upload them when I get a chance.

Well, considering bare NiTD (with original labels) sell for around $125 routinely. I just picked one up from a member of these forums for $90 shipped, this also included it's artwork (keep in mind, this was a great price. The first kit I purchased went for $200 to $250).

Then you must find the appropriate SAC cart (Sengoku 3) which generally sells for $150 to $200+.

Then there is labor charges, artwork printing, etc...

So yes, Phillips price quote of $350 to $400 is more than fair.

I got NitD and Bust a Move home carts directly from !ARCADE!

The NitD did not have a manual.
The Bust a Move did come with a manual.
I don't think they made a Bust a Move EX home cart.

Many thanks for your help and info, I was positive it was an !arcade! conversion and I appreciate your help in clarifying it.

Ill be taking some pics tonight as my camera batteries ran out on me when I tried to take some late last night and again, I appreciate you offering to host some pics for me.

For thos interested, I made a decision last night to sell off 99% of my aes collection keeping just 1 title, so this game WILL go up for sale in a couple of days so keep an eye out in the selling forum.

If you're interested in the title Marc, it will now go up for sale and we may be able to work a price out. I appreciate everyone has an opinion on price but theres no need to ram yours down my throat mate, I am reasonable (as you know through past sales) and am always prepared to listen, but that doesnt mean I agree with your stance - It is a rare title, mine is the only one I personally have come across for sale in 4 years, so I think that must also count for something :spock:

Im sure we can work something out if you still want the game

Thanks for the assist Kenny. I own one of these which I bought from Kiselgof a couple of years ago. I paid somewhere around this price range. I dont remember the exact amount. I guess I could check my paypal history ..... but that probably wont happen today.

@ djrconsoles if you still need a pics hosted, send them to :

50$ shipped. Seriously. I don't care how R4R3 it is if it's unofficial stuff.

Thats fair enough, thats your opinion. I expect different will "value" this game in totally different ways depending on whether they are the super collector that has to have everything or those that just want to play the game.

Phillip,

many thanks also for your help, I will look to send some emails across for hosting as it may help,
