One thing I regret is not buying a neo geo and games in Japan. Neo Geo consoles and games are still fairly easy to purchase in Japan if you go to a used video game store. Score on that Double Dragon man! Great video!
Thats insane! This game is very rare, so I totally understand you wanted to take this chance! Congrats, man! I'm happy I got the Japanese AES version for a great deal in Japan at least!
Thanks! I was honestly leaning towards a Japanese copy for a couple months this opportunity just happened out of nowhere and decided to make the sacrifice to me its worth it. I like this game I play it quite often. Congrats on find a copy in Japan! It's definitely a great one to have in the collection.
Neo Geo was one of the best consoles. Since i was too young and had no money i could also afford the cd version. It was the worst decision to sell it. This guy has cool neo geo stuff. Awesome.
Solid pickup. The artwork and quality of the game package itself looks amazing. Also amazing in this video is the background music selections. Can't wait to see what the 2nd rare game is (another cliffhanger lol).
@@neo_ness I must have looked at one your old game collections videos, congrats on your collecting journey, ten to go, looking forward to see next pickup.
Just started my journey of Neo Geo buying and this is what I see! Luckily, I’ve chosen the “cheaper” CDZ and its games, but it’ll be a battle! Wish me luck! Also: always know that it’s completely okay to sell your collection! Don’t have regrets. Play that beauty to hell and back!
I rented a Neogeo and this game on a movie/ videogame store in the 90's, played the hell out of it with a friend, that weekend we had that Neogeo system running for almost 48hs straight, after that we kept pouring coins at this same game in the arcade, this and Kabuki Klash were all the rage around here.
Those were the days! It's awesome to hear the passion for the games was so high in the 90s. Kabuki Klash is another great game. The sprites and colors in that game are so nice.
It's sad that you had to sell so much of your collection, but at the same time I'm happy you got this sick neo geo game. It really does look like a quality edition to the collection. It's also great that other collectors will be able to purchase your old games, especially if theres some that they are desperate to find. Your Neo Geo collection is super impressive ❤
Glad you got what you were looking for. Seeing prices on these games now makes MW glad I bought most of my Neo AES collection in 1990-1993. I was mostly into the early stuff so it worked out OK.
WoW your copy of Double🐉Dragon looks phenomenal. It's literally in pristine condition. It was definitely worth what you paid and this is a title not many will ever have that's for sure. Congratulations bro you did it!!!!!👍😎👌
Wow . I don't even think I got a game I would give up 70% of my collection for. I bootleged a few games tho. But you're going for a full set on neo geo! I got a multicart for my neo geo but congrats man I get it. I got all 4 WWF arcade machines in my gameroom plus the pinball machine . The AES is an awesome crazy expensive console to collect for.
I haven't even bought this for the mvs as its very very average compared to other fighters. Rage of the dragons is way better. I don't think I'd give up 1% of my collection for it. Collecting full sets is a drug though 😂 I didn't even know the value of it 😅 spending over 12k on a game of this quality is madness. The mvs one is like £50 and people don't even want to pay that 😂 full set collectors are crazy 😂 if this dude wants to give me 12k for my 1 of 1 zelda proto cart I'd take it 😂
Dope addition. Major power move to acquire it, happy for you. I luv double dragon the arcade, one of my very favorite arcades. I have rage of dragons as well on mvs. I have double dragon on mvs and a conversion. Enjoy. Thanks for the info on the Kaiser acrylics.
Great choice with Double Dragon Ness. Such a fun game that I'm trying to pick up for the collection bro. I'm loving your pad with the nice posters framed on the wall brother man. 8^) I posted your video up on, The Official NEO-GEO Thread for others to enjoy on what you have to say from them to be amazed over on the forums at AtariAge. Thank you for sharing this with us Ness. 8^) Anthony..
@@neo_ness Question what printing company do you like to get your Neo Geo shirts from? I need to beef up some of my shirt collection when I am playing my AES.
@@DanClem The last few I actually picked up on Amazon surprisingly enough. Otherwise I just look on Etsy and search "Neo Geo Shirts" they have a good variety of solid stores that make good quality shirts.
Both you and Scarlet Sprites have an awesome love for Neo Geo. Sprites has a full collection for the MVS. It will be absolutely insane to see you get a full AES collection. Good luck my guy! I look forward to seeing your progress! 😉👍 For me personally I've been collecting Neo Geo CD games for four years and I like to try and get a complete collection for that. So far I have about 40 titles. Many of the ones I'm missing are either filler titles that I'm not terribly interested in playing or titles that are so eye-wateringly expensive that it's impractical to get them right now. One day perhaps but I'm in no rush. Certainly not as hard as collecting AES carts but anything Neo Geo is pretty pricey these days.
Thanks! Sprites has an awesome collection I was watching him as he was trying to complete the set. I definitely got some inspiration from him. Neo Geo CD is a great set to go for. I have a few games that I have picked up recently I really want to find a clean copy of Crossed Swords 2.
Many thanks! I have an NCI version Kizuna (Repro) that I’m happy with. Ultimate 11 I’ll do the same those are just way too expensive to get authentic versions
Quick question: The game you got shown on this video, the actual aes box, was it originally a clip version or just open type, like alot of the older games? Reason why I asked, I see both boxes up on eBay.
Double Dragon comes in a soft case only. The snap cases you see on eBay are conversions. They took MVS chips and soldered them to a sacrificed AES cart.
If you budget appropriately, you can buy expensive games sometimes. I do it too, having bought some obscenely expensive games myself (no Neo Geo stuff). But, even so, I make sure that I still save money overall as time goes by.
@@neo_ness with the MVS and how creative people are these days People are creating custom labels manuals and inserts Double Dragon is actually one of my favorites on the Neo Geo as well 😍
I’ve got this on CD and only played it once. Other than art of fighting and fatal fury I don’t play many Neo fighting games as I’m totally useless at them. Best thing getting a new AES game is the smell of the box and cartridge when you open it up. It smells powerful when compared to megadrive and SNES games.
Oh I have the rom too and I emulate the game on multiple devices. The mass majority of the games sold were disc based games on the Xbox and PlayStation. I can always go back and find those games in my local area. This was an opportunity I couldn’t pass up for a console I am passionate about collecting for.
I appreciate it! I’m happy with the choice. A lot the quality games I sold I have already found better condition copies and added those back or for a few titles I’ve decided not to re-add to the collection.

Congrats! You’re getting close. Those last 10 will be a heck of a mountain to climb. Will be tuned in
Thanks! It's going to be a painful climb 😂
Neo Geo channel? Subbed!
Thank you!
there's something about Neo Geo games that's just.....idk....amazing
I feel the exact same way. It some kind of sorcery 🤣.
the AES is the crown jewel of retro collecting,even having a few games for it screams money.
@@neo_nessWhen are you going for the greatest Neo Geo game ever SHOCK TROOPERS?
I actually have Shock Troopers. I don’t have 2nd squad yet though.

Start with Neo Geo MVS it's a great option to get into the original hardware
Oooh snap! Congrats! 💜🥳
I appreciate it! 🙂

I’m glad I found your channel. I live anything Neo Geo
Thanks for checking out the channel! I appreciate the support.
I owned one of those once, too. Almost had a Kizuna Encounter US/EU, but the shop would not reserve it for another 2 weeks.
Wow Kizuna is one of those Unicorn titles for sure. It's too bad the shop wouldn't reserve it.

I'm so happy that you got this.
Thanks bro!
This is great! Insane score 😮
Thanks!
Better video Bro ,
Keep up the good work
Thanks for watching!
I found out about Neo Geo from your channel ! 👍🏾
Happy to be a source!

Double Dragon is a great pick! Thanks for the support, Anthony.
Congrats 😊
I appreciate it. 😀
Are we getting an official Mission Neo Geo episode for Double Dragon? This one had no Tyberius 😭
🤣 for sure! Tiberius has a lot to say and definitely wants to do a mission Neo Geo Episode within the next week
I've been in the same position myself, ended up giving a super rare Dreamcast game (Tech Romancer) just to acquire another rare game i.e. Einhander
Congratulations ten games to go, looking forward to seeing your next pick up.
Einhander is such a great game!
Thanks!
I love my NES,Genisis etc. "Retro" run of the mill channels here on UA-cam...but man you on a whole different level with the Neo Geo💪
Appreciate the love!
The game looks so clean! Congrats on purchase 🎉
Thank you! 😁
Damn I was hoping it was a US Metal Slug 1, but that is a decent grail pickup even though it is a lesser fighter.
US Slug 1 would have been nice. Maybe one day 🙂
Worth the cliffhanger!
Yessir!
Congrats and enjoy!!
Thanks!

No way I would of done it for one game, but different strokes.... I respect the hustle tho. 👊
Fantastic acquisition. You met the seller in darkness? You were both heavily disguised apparently and it was a cash transaction! 😀
😂 Thanks! Yeah I had my black jumpsuit on lol.
Ten left bro! The Slugs are going to hurt the wallet...
My wallet will be crying when that day comes 😂
10 games left! Congrats Ness. I don’t care about the last 2 super expensive games. Can get Kizuna Encounter new on PS4 or PS2 new and cheap.
Many thanks! I have an NCI version Kizuna (Repro) that I’m happy with. Ultimate 11 I’ll do the same those are just way too expensive to get authentic versions
Now just waiting for you get the game Razion or Fast Striker, aes version of course, not the Japan import version.
I got 300 neo geo an cd games , ranyu is my shhh and mark of wolves
Quick question:

neo geo is woopin my ass - the most expensive console to collect it must be
It's whoopin mine too 😂. It's pretty pricey.
“A fool and his money are soon parted”, nuff said.
but this guy has a neo geo boxed collection and you dont lmao
He sold his collection to get it. You act like he blew his life savings or sold his home to afford it.
If you budget appropriately, you can buy expensive games sometimes. I do it too, having bought some obscenely expensive games myself (no Neo Geo stuff). But, even so, I make sure that I still save money overall as time goes by.
Oh wow
Double Dragon is rare? Legit thought he was trying to get Sengoku 3 or Kizuna Encounter. 😅
Cool channel though!
Maybe you can tell me what ended up being neo geo 2 and Neo geo 3 that had been announced some years back
I honestly would like to know as well. I remember when they made the announcement back in 2020. Then they just went quiet on it.
Do you collect for the MVS?
AES Was way too expensive for me
I went MVS as it was easy more affordable and practical 😎
I do have a few MVS games in the collection. If I find games I don’t have I’ll pick them up. They are definitely more affordable for sure.
@@neo_ness with the MVS and how creative people are these days
People are creating custom labels manuals and inserts
Double Dragon is actually one of my favorites on the Neo Geo as well 😍
She's a beaut, Ness. Nice, very nice.
I should of picked this up on CD years ago when it was about £20 😂
I’ve seen Japanese CD versions still selling at that price every once in a while. I think you still have a good chance of finding it at that price. 🙂
I’ve got this on CD and only played it once. Other than art of fighting and fatal fury I don’t play many Neo fighting games as I’m totally useless at them. Best thing getting a new AES game is the smell of the box and cartridge when you open it up. It smells powerful when compared to megadrive and SNES games.
All you had to do is download the rom and emulate it no need to sale your all your stuff.
Oh I have the rom too and I emulate the game on multiple devices. The mass majority of the games sold were disc based games on the Xbox and PlayStation. I can always go back and find those games in my local area. This was an opportunity I couldn’t pass up for a console I am passionate about collecting for.
If ur happy I’m happy for you. Personally, I wouldn’t trade very much for that title. It’s not a good game at all.
I appreciate it! I’m happy with the choice. A lot the quality games I sold I have already found better condition copies and added those back or for a few titles I’ve decided not to re-add to the collection.
I don't care about cliffhangers outside anime
