Neo Geo MVS Vs. AES #1 - Magician Lord

Home Neo-Geo releases are coveted for their rarity, but nobody ever plays them. Therefore, the differences between AES and their MVS counterparts are largely undocumented on Youtube. Let's change that! If this topic's interesting to a good chunk of people, I'd be happy to make this a weekly feature.

Hahaha. So true Patrick. I agree wholeheartedly. I wish more of the newcomers will appreciate the Neo-Geo just like we do. Hopefully videos on YouTube like yours will do so and be enjoyed at the same time...Thank you for the reply back bro.

What's next on the list Patrick? Will it be a shooter?

Man, Neo Geo cartridges were huge. I think my Blu-Ray player is smaller than the carts.

Dope, I had no idea there was a story intro! I only ever played the Arcade Archives release.

MVS games in 1990 would cost an arcade owner $700-$800, whereas the AES home cart would cost between $120 and $170. When I bought my AES in 1990 I had an arcade owner come over to my house with his MVS carts to see if they had the same pinout. I originally called him to ask if he had Neo-Geo carts to rent. He owned a company which rented full sized arcade cabs and pinball machines, so I figured it was worth a try. He thought (for a brief moment) that he might be able to buy the cheaper AES carts for his MVS arcade systems. He agreed to let me borrow a few of them if they were interchangeable. We were both disappointed. I could have counted the pins and saved him a trip. :P

Voice over is really well written, and this is a good topic, I think you're going to be successful. This is already better than the standard "port vs port" video and rivaling something like game sack or slx for writing if not visuals.
