@GTV reviews the Cosmic Fantasy 1-2 Switch collection by Edia, provides examples of the poor English editing/localization work. It's much worse for CF1. Rated "D" for disappointment, finding that TurboGrafx CF2 is better & while CF1's the real draw, Edia screwed it up...

Some new stuff. Got the Pokemon from my brother. Glad I got the game & watch collection 2. I missed out on the first one on club Nintendo. I used to really enjoy playing the game & watch collection on the game boy

Picked up a nice Android 4.1 tablet today with a 9" wide screen display. Not a bad little device. Stopped at a cool game store not far from me and snagged a complete Virtua Racing for the Genny and a Gyromite converter cart from a collectibles store in the mall. Almost grabbed one of those nice Sega brand Genesis 3 button arcade sticks, but wasn't sure if $10 was a good deal for it or not.

Well if that's the case, perhaps I'll grab it next time I'm up there. Never used one, but heard good things about them. The android tab wound up going back. Damn thing started freezing up a lot and something didnt seem right with the browser. Wouldn't always register taps on the screen. A shame since it seemed really nice at first.

So far I'd pretty much have to agree with you. (But I really like the pinball games, so it's a touch call...) I like how open world it is despite being a 2D platformer. I haven't played any of the Wonder Boy games besides the first one. (Thank you, other game called Adventure Island.)
Btw, how do I get those "?" Items in the shops? I can't seem to buy them even if I have enough gold.

Fear for your soul my friend...I didn't think it was possible but AES prices have actually gotten WORSE in the past year. Even my top-secret AES new-old-stock resource online has jacked up the most basic games to $50-90 a piece.

Still think neo-geo.com forums are probably the best source but I haven't ventured back there in ages. Flame war central.

There's deals to be had there still. Though i haven't bought a game for my cmvs in quite a few years at least  :oops: Still i hear it's pretty bad now getting a good deal for the aes on ebay for how much, it's getting flooded with boots now.
