Not too long ago I acquired Samurai Shodown II and Metal Slug II on the Neo-Geo MVS. Amazing stuff.

Your wallet's not jealous I bet.[/quote] I hear you man, with SNK that's always the case. However since you already started you may as well get all the rest of Metal Slug, and Samurai Shodown games, heck I would say go for all the KOF, and Fatal Fury ones too. Garou is Fatal Fury for example. Also both The Last Blade games are pretty immaculate too. I also recommend Shock Troopers, what a fantastic game, and if you have some cash to spare, the Art Of Fighting games, and the World Heroes games are pretty legendary too. If you like shmups I would go for Blazing Star, Pulstar, Aero Fighters 2, Aero Fighters 3, Twinkle Star Sprites, Strikers 1945, and Prehistoric Isle 2. Imagine I'm already jealous now, by the time you finish I may become a thief. Although that would be quite the job, those cartridges are huge, not to mention the MVS itself, from Norway to California, I may need some serious professionals. |

I think you could carry most of the stuff by yourself since it's a consolized MVS, but the joystick is a Qanba Dragon, so you might need to carry out stuff in batches. Getting the rest of the Samurai Shodown and Metal Slug series is going to be even more expensive, but maybe one day. I've got the first The Last Blade game and it's one of my favorite fighting games of all time. Garou would be a dream, but it's literally one of the most expensive games on the MVS. As for schmups, I do have Strikers 1945 on the Saturn and it's fantastic. |

I'm even more jealous now. Also the first The Last Blade, and Strikers 1945, that's really cool man. You are way cooler than I thought, and you were cool already. |

The AES is awesome, but unless you're Jeff Bezos, you're not really going to get that many games for it. The Qanba Dragon is amazing. Even though I haven't tried that many arcade sticks, it's hands down the best one I've ever tried and it's truly a piece of art. It's heavy as fuck and really does feel like you're holding something arcade worthy. I've modified it with an octagon gate and swapped out four of the buttons with the Neo-Geo MVS button color scheme. It's the same buttons though (Sanwa Denshi). Haha, and I love how I just got cooler. |

I couldn't agree more. The enhancing powers of the Neo Geo are beyond regular comprehension. |

X-Arcade has been doing builts like this for a long time. They seem to be quite the profitable business. They also use the Midway layout a opposed of the Capcom and NEO Geo layouts you see see with Sanwa sticks. So those are more for Mortal Kombat and Killer Instinct, but you can play anything with these. Besides, you can also mod them and use LED buttons and LED balltops on top of adding your own artwork. The possibilities are endless. However, I'm noticing this new version does have the Street Fighter layout too, so it seems they are moving away from the Midway layout, which is this:  Personally, I'm more inclined for a Qanba table because I like the Street Fighter layout just for the looks alone, and it already comes with silent buttons. They have an one player and two player options, on top of being able to use it while "I'm working".   |
