I posted this, because I thought that this deserve to be in a seperate forum. Should it? Or is it enough? I mean there are alot of formats out there already, with Neo Geo Carts, Cds, MVS, emulation (I never used it, but I don't condone this practice), and on other video system formats.
Actually I want to know what you guys think about if more Neo Geo games are accessible thru Dreamcast, or even playstation 2. In that scenario, we can play more games cheaper, and non neo geo owners can finally enjoy the great games themselves. There are alots of Neo Geo fans out there, who don't own Neo Geo, and they shouldn't be left out just beacuse they don't have enough money to afford Neo Geo stuff (I can relate. I was one of them long time ago). Some collecters or gamers might disagree because their game values may drop. I have several valuable carts as well, but if myself and others can enjoy more games, then I think it's definitely worth it. And my argument is that currently, even though there are many routes available to play Neo Geo games, the prices don't seem to be dropping. I can understand SNK's (now Azure's) stance. They basically make money through a small nich market-like thru us. (personally I think that's why they made Saturn version of KOF 97 w/ 2 meg cart, when 4 meg option was available for a while. They could have made it fairly close to the original, if they made it for 4 meg. Then what?). Still, I think as Chimp said, they wil be not exact like original Neo Geo version. The DC ports of Neo Geo, while commendable, were not exact versions of their original counterparts. Also, they wil still be collectible. There are people who wants the original. So should Neo Geo games be more accesible to non Neo Geo owners? Any thoughts?
