Just think of it as a factory issue, mass produced custom. <_

Has any1 played this yet? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=3059590836

Great MVS 2 console conversion w/ UNIBIOS. There seems to be an entire subculture that does these types of mods. I've always wondered tho... is there a peg stand somewhere in the bottom middle of the board to support the center for when you insert a cart? Great title choices too BTW, can't go wrong w/ MS3 and Strikers 45+. U gonna get shock boxes and print out inserts to complete the home look?

Thank you very much for posting those. Love old toy commercials! Here are some additional japanese toy commercials: Japanese transformers

Haha, wow isamu.. I've never met another earthquake player from SS2. Earthquake and ukyo were my characters of choice back when arcades still had people lined up to play SS2. Yeah, he's an awesome character and it totally throws off people who have never seen him used effectively. Too bad the arcade culture has died/changed... playing games like that at home by oneself just isn't the same. BTW, SS0/5 is totally awesome. My MVS copy came in last week. I only wish I had people to play against.

Nice! ... and hey, do you collect retro Air Jordans?

Victory Leo and Saber? How much did that set you back if you don't mind me askin.

Do you think it would be a sacrilege to pit the worlds of SS, Last Blade, Ninja Masters, Kabuki Klash and whatever other feudal fighting game into one "dream match" game? Although I think we would never see one. Other than SS the other games listed seem to have little or no affect on people outside neo-geo fans. Also, any of you guys have an IGS PGM system? The games look like good 2D thirst quenchers especially since they seem to derive inspiration from Capcom and SNK.

Any1 remember "the Mighty Orbots"? I don't think they ever made toys for it, but that would have been great for godaikin fans.

I'd have to say Samurai II was my personal fav as well. I played it everyday in between class back in college. There was a good community of players there that made it challenging. After a while I thought I was a pretty badass earthquake player until I went overseas for vacation and got my ass handed by some of the craziest ukyo players I had ever seen. Samurai IV was very artistic like III and had better playability than III but I'd say II was more playable than IV. I'm not sure about IV, but II had some nice little secrets as well. Ah the good ol' days.

Thanks for the pics. That's awesome.

Yup, copy of SS0 should be comin in any day now. Snagged a copy from highwaygames.com woot

Or you can try to get the latest Phantom-1 converter to play MVS carts on your home AES system. However, I think some people report problems w/ certain games still and also problems depending on the AES system you have (depends on serial number what batch you have). So far SVC seems like an interesting game, however nothing really too amazing. It will at least keep me busy until Samurai Spirits Zero comes in. Now I just need fresh people to challenge, playing the computer gets kinda boring fast.

Here's the thread that had a pic of an HCM custom w/ hasegawa ostrich armor. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...t=ST&f=4&t=2243 It was a custom I obtained from MWer glane21. Also pictured is an HCM custom VF-1D by RTH.

1 more.. haven't got a chance to explore this game yet... but looks like it's got real potential. Check out this match up.. Earthquake vs Balrog?!! WTF. haha

In game shots...

Spent lots of work idle time today thinkin neo, what a way to end it by finding a new game in the mail today! SNK vs Capcom Chaos. woot!

If you don't have a neo geo MVS (arcade), AES (home cart) or CD system the best ports of Samurai Spirits 3 and 4 are for the japanese SEGA Saturn. Load times are great via the RAM cart. The sound and animation is not arcade level, but good enough to enjoy. If you're a pirating bastage (hehe), then run an emulator on your PC. As for the hyperneo64, yeah the ps samurai 3d games are a diff game and yes the only way to currently play the neo64 games is with actual arcade hardware. Fortunately, you can get this stuff for a decent price on the web. A place called vektorlogic (http://www.vektorlogic.com) sells hyperneo64 motherboards w/ 4 games I believe for roughly $250. However you need a supergun or arcade cabinet to use it.

Any model kits in the same scale as the HCM that would almost fit it? I've got an HCM super O custom using hasegawa ostrich armor.

Any MWers built a MAME cab?

Yeah the "hardcore" 2d fighter guys at shouryken said that SVC is imbalanced and has "infinite combos" (or something like that) giving the game serious flaws or something not worthy for competition level play... but I don't really care about learning and competing harcore in it. I just enjoy a fun 2d game w/ great sprites. Arcades and the good ol' days of lining up on a 2d fighter to take down the "king of the hill" are pretty much gone. All that's left are the occasional 2d fighter battles at home w/ some friends.

Is Samurai Shodown Zero out already? I thought they only announced it last month. It's OUT and up for sale (MVS version only for now). Home cart is coming out soon. The MVS (arcade) cart is roughly $485+ at neo-geo.com, EBAY, mdgamesales.com, etc.

Ah yes, my mistake... SVC. The movies I've d/led, screenshots and lineup looks great. I can't wait for the MVS version I ordered to come in... and now SSV out at roughly the same time? Man the wallet's hurtin! At least the Macross front is quiet for now.... But yes I've been playing SNK titles for a long time as well. Still have an AES neo geo gold, neo geo cd, pocket and 4 arcade cabinets (2 4 slots and 2 1 slots)... in addition many ports on the various home systems. Any of you guys play the HyperNeo64 games? I hear mixed reviews on the fun of these games. Visually, these games are dated now but neo fans say they're pretty fun. I've contemplated getting a good package deal from vektorlogic but am on the fence especially right now because I'm eyeing MVS carts of sham sho V, matrimlee, kof2002 and metal slug 3

Any1 get a chance to play Samurai Showdown V (aka zero) or Capcom vs SNK Chaos?

cool. I was a fan of the original and black versions.
