Nice video! Lots of great information regarding NEO GEO. One thing to keep in mind, most of the games that were MVS conversions or bootlegs are the later releases or the games that always had a high value in the aftermarket. I only came across 1 conversion since I started buying Neo Geo AES games a few years ago. Most collectors in the scene are truthful, which is really good to know.

We now enter the Post-Garage Grunge Era of Mort.

“And now for something completely different”! And I’m here for it!

Glad they were real and not bootlegs. I bought three boxes of mvs carts and this video was helpful, because I did not know they made bootlegs. I also might have an answer for original price because I remember seeing an old invoice in one of the boxes.

Happy to see more Neo Geo content! I love seeing more awareness for new interested collectors. Great video! For the more rare games definitely looking at labels, inserts, and boards etc. is a must.

I was completely unaware of this. Thanks for bringing the knowledge!

This was great. Love educational stuff like this! Absolutely adore the opening sequence.🎉

Awesome video. I worked in an arcade for a couple years in the 90's and the neo geo boot/cycle music is still better than the playstation 1 boot music. So satisfying.

Always a good day when Kris stops by!

Loved the video! I found you from Gabbo's channel a few weeks ago, and subbed. After seeing his kindness and generosity with buying that kid a game, I could tell you are equally as cool of a dude and I subbed! So far I'm happy I did!

I still have the Neo Geo Gold system I got back in 1991. Still have a bunch of AES games as well. I only ever bought a few off of eBay. They didn't go into too much detail on the bootleg checks, but it's not quite enough to just "make sure" everything looks legit/lines up. You have to also ensure the actual chips themselves are the originals.

MVS kits were like 4 to 5 times the price of an AES cart for the arcade operator. The AES were originally going to go into hotels.

I just got schooled today. Had no idea about any of this. We don't own a Neo Geo. Never something we see here but that's so good for any collector to know to always check their games and HOW to check. There's always a tell. Very glad they are both authentic!

just started collecting AES. im going for the japanese version becuause of the prices. its just on the top 5 of my bucket list and the damn nostalgic feeling😂

Great video as always. Nice to see a different format. And as for the Neo Geo. I'd absolutely love to have one of those. Pretty expensive though.... If you can find one. The snk stuff is amazing takes me back to my childhood in the arcades😊🙌🔥🔥🔥

See I told you they were real 🎉 Unless a genuine game is worth £1000 it’s not worth making a fake. Even fakes cost a lot of time and money. Congratulations boss man 👍

Great video! Glad the Neo Geo AES is getting some love. If you decide to dive deeper into Neo Geo you will have to learn how to identify the "paper "which is the insert, manual and label. English copies are more expensive and people are getting better and better at swapping carts from Japanese copies. Great stuff.

Much respect to the guy Chris with the badass Jaguar hat...

Like the guy mentions in the video MVS games used to be dirt cheap. I think I paid something like 20-30 bucks on ebay for a windjammers cart MVS, now that's a 200+ dollar game

Other than your dude calling consoles, "councils", this was very educational

Actually kizuna encounter is the most rare and expensive game for the aes, probably one of the rarest games of all time less than 10 were made and the game easily sells in the 6 figures.

I bought the mvs version of Samurai showdown 3 for like $80 and yes that was a while ago!

I love videos like this dude it’s cool to get to learn something new 😊

It`s not only swap the roms from a MVS on to AES you need to know how the place the jumpers as well to get it run..

Awesome new profile photo!

The history of the Neo Geo is so interesting and strange to learn about. Great video!

Half of my MVS (and Atomiswave games) are repros; I never got too bother. Neo Geo collectors are HARD CORE

Great video Mort! Neo Geo FTW :)

I like the video before I watch them because I know I'm going to love them ❤

Having owned both an MVS cabinet/games and AES games/system, I wish I still had both. I bought an AES collection to flip back in 2008...which could easily be a down payment on a house now.

One of my holy grails a neo-geo multicade hopefully one day

I like your new KZfaq profile picture!!!

Neo Geo counsel

This is great, I love NEOGEO, still do, and boy are those expensive...still. love to window shop lol

Glad to see this ridiculously expensive but forgotten arcade console getting attention. But dang, even THAT isn't safe from fake cartridges?

Great video!

It’s always really interesting learning about this stuff. I mean, I’ll never be able to afford to collect neo geo, but still really cool to learn about this stuff 😅

Wow I didn't know any of this lol thanks!

Always fun to learn a lot from Mort

I collect OG carts for my MVS setup but for AES, I just use a Neo SD Pro Flashcart with the full rom set.

Never knew about this! I’m glad I know now haha

Phew! I was ready to curse Chris out for selling you dirty bootlegs but alas it is not necessary. I was also going to say something unflattering about bald men being untrustworthy (unless of course they're like Josh and sport a killer beard and glasses combo) but we'll save that one for another time :-) Fun video Mort. I'm really glad to see they're originals and I look forward to part 3 and getting into Chris's sealed copies.

A great video. I love learning this stuff.

New MVS Games were $400+

Watching this makes me want a Neo Geo...thanks for that lol. Next time we meet I'll have to request a fire extinguisher for my wallet 😅

Regional treatment on Neo Geo is exactly the same as on Mega Drive.

Well, those games are relatively cheap. It's the expensive games that you gotta look to see if they're authentic!

Next could you do a video on fighting games like killer instinct primal rage mortal Kombat Street fighter in the the and especially killer instinct Gold I love that game and maybe going to death and detailing that like dialoguing about how is different on the games are different system to system and how they are different on the arcade and especially go and I want to learn more about if there were better speakers on the killer instinct arcade than another arcades because every time I heard the soundtrack on there it sound louder than the other arcades ? Is that true?

Watch just watch the views in the likes grow after I share this. It's amazing!.

lol @ that thumbnail though. Please tell me where I can buy $5 AES repros hah.

What's the point? They only ever bootlegged the expensive games. These two are among the most common aes games.

Whats the name of the website you use to confirm that the ase cartridges are authentic?

the size of the carts is the same they reversed the pinouts on the boards so you could not play MVS on AES.....if you have questions just ask....oh and congrats on your original carts!

I think I want to share this to my Facebook timeline in my Facebook gamer groups that I am in all of them to hopefully spread awareness of this current epidemic that 3D printers are putting us into nowadays and back in the olden days the old-fashioned way of doing it to which is the way you're talkin about in this video!!! But why didn't you guys I'm surprised you didn't mention 3D printers is that not a dilemma in this issue?

Any idea where I can get the Atari Jaguar hat? Nothing comes up on eBay.

Atari Jaguar baby! ❤

What’s the most you’ve ever lost in a coin toss?

NAM used specific PROG boards, and it was pretty useless for any other game.

ok so what about conversion carts?

I hope 🤞 not!!! 🤞 Fingers crossed!!!

I had a handheld Neo Geo that I l loved! No one else I knew had one Ended up trading it for a Palm Pilot. Worst trade ever.

Never seen anything of this in Europe

Council? Dude...

council.....

so should i bring the 23 AES games i have left to Kris's store to blow him away hehehehehehe i wish i still had the full set sadly my divorce killed me

5$ ??? where do you find 5$ AES bootleg cardridge ? stop fake news :)

Have a boxed. Aes with 73 original jap/us games! Love it 😁😁😁

i wouldnt be as mad if they were legit being used like repros actually do cuz the quality is fucking identical in casin and everything to the point where its as good and it comes with carbon copy packaging, problem is they are cheap like dirt to reproduce and ppl are flipping em for 10x the production cost which is ludicrous
