Neo Geo AES

I'm a big fan of the Neo Geo too. Mostly the AES, it's really tough to recommend. I've seen a lot of people buy an AES and then immediately try to sell it again because of the price and they don't like the types of games on the system. Make sure, if you really want one, that you can deal with 90's fighting games. Personally I love them but it's not for everyone.

One cool thing I forgot to mention, it makes no difference whether you buy an English version or a Japanese version of a Neo Geo game. The cartridges are 100% identical, aside from the label and packaging. Both languages (and sometimes others as well) are contained inside the games. The language that it boots up in depends on the region of your system.

For example, if you bought a Japanese "Gekka no Kenshi" game and put it into your US region system, it will show up as "The Last Blade" and be in English.

Or Engrish, I should say. I believe all the English translations were done in-house by the Japanese developers, so the text is often unintentionally hilarious. They probably picked whatever random employee raised their hand when the bosses asked "Who here got a good score on your English exams? Anybody?"  ;D
