The shop is heaven for collecters, but I do have one gripe. There's nothing more irritating than seeing cardboard boxes with sticky labels on them. Try peeling them off without either leaving behind glue residue, half a sticker, or riping part of the art work off.
Whole weekends were taken up playing 2 player matches with me and my friends: Some of them even went on to buy a NES just to get good at playing it. I bring this gane out foor my nephews to play and they both love it.
@Gamer83 With Sega on the way out, had Nintendo and Sony still be in partnership together, I still think MS would still have been paying attention, and would have still jumped in with the XBOX. The motive was there to be a rival to Sony (albeit with Nintendo at their side), and without Sega taking a slice of the hardware sales. the opportunity was there too. MS had the money to fund the entry into the console arena, and I think they would have done it where ever Sony and Nintendo's relationship lay.
Even if Nintendo continued this route with Sony, I doubt Sega would still be here as a console manufacturer. Sega made their own mistakes independently of what anyone else was doing. Microsoft just saw an opportunity with the XBOX and it paid off for them. Either way, Sony and Nintendo were only doing what they thought was right for business, and it just wasn't ment to be.
don`t forget that SNK did make a limited run of neogeo controllers for the wii. as far as i`m aware it never got released outside of japan. but still, it gets things a bit closer to the neogeo experience for wii owners. the other thing is that snk aren`t exactly going to re-release every game they ever made for the neogeo onto the wii VC are they. so in some respects, if you`re a fan of neogeo games and you have enough cash to buy one, you`re gonna get it. besides, neogeo`s were expensive back when they were originaly released, i remember only one shop in my town had the aes systems and games. and the games easily sold between £100 - £200. so it`s no suprise that the games and systems are still going to be expensive regardless of being aes or mvs because of them being so hard to get hold of, especialy in good working order.
i loved total as a kid, they gave away a free xmen comic for the release of arcadias revenge on the snes. i wish that i kept that issue, but i did manage to keep the free comic though.
