| US neo geo cd games with Japanese discs Normal? |
| (1/1) |
| sworddude:
So I bought this neo geo cd lot All us versions for an excellent deal can't complain but i noticed something 2 US games from the lot have Japanese discs Mutation nation and Ninja commando I do know for these games it isn't a big deal but I was really suprised even though it was a very nice deal. Is it normal for japanese discs to be in such games, these games are a bit more uncommon than the usual suspects but I have seen mutation nation with an english disc. Maybe the owner got new discs because the original ones are broken or was it a mistake from Neo geo them selves I have no clue, has anyone else come across this issue? I was a bit bummed but than again I can't complain for the price that I paid. first 2 neo geo cd us games that have japanese discs at least for the ones that I have seen. |

All New Geo games are region free, there we quite a few games not released here in the US. Also i do believe most games have both English and Japanese on them. It selects the language via the BIOS on the system. |

I do know that all are region free and sometimes you have language options, my only issue is the text on the disc, a US disc has the title ninja commando on the disc not some japanese letters wich I cannot read. The collector in me wants to know howcome a japanese disc is inside a US version of the game? I highly doubt that the seller would place one in there on purpose since the price was just way to low for only a bit more than a tenner. I find it really strange, gameplay wise 98% the same not the issue here. Again like i said I have seen a mutation nation with an english disc while my english version has a japanese discs. |

SNK had a habit of re-using stock from other regions. Since it is common that they relabelled AES carts, it wouldn't surprise me. If you have an account on neo-geo.com, you should ask there to be sure. See here about the AES cart labels: http://www.neo-geo.com/forums/showthread.php?268745-AES-variant-carts |
