Dear Customers,
well this didn't go as expected. Kraut Buster AES CE was sold out within ~1h.
After the harsh critics of the first video and the price increase we didn't expected to sell that fast and well. We thought it will take at least 24h.
While that's good for us on first glance, it's also a serious problem. A lot of our best long time customers didn't got a CE unit. Due to a bug in the shop system we are also overbooked by more than 10 copies.
So what should we do? Cancel those units? Cancel the known investors? We can't really cancel them as they are very important to us too, whether some people like it or not, they help quickly raise the money that's needed for development.
To give our long time customers a chance we decided to increase the limitation.
All extra proceeds will go into increasing the quality further and also adding new content.
For example adding the female character, maybe a nice pixel intro as well. This type of game is eating money away like
nothing else. So it will be a welcome help.
It's both in the interest of gamers and "investors" a like. If you are an investor and want to cancel due to the increase, we will immediately comply and refund.
We will go with a maximum of 22-42 extra units. We will close it latest on June 19th no matter if we sold less. The certificate card will be adjusted accordingly. Numbers will be given in order of payment.
We sincerely think that this is in the best interest of everyone and especially for the NEOGEO community. Only with large sales numbers we can create the games the NEOGEO deserves.
Regarding the music.
It's really extremely early. The new musicians basically only had 2 long weekends to create what you heard in the trailer. Imagine what they can do in the next 6 month!
The reason we switched the musician is that Rafael unfortunately needed to retire from making commercial video game music for now, due to private and job obligations. We will miss his music for sure. He already promised to return for Gunlord 2, if we ever make it. Good news is that we have 2 SHMUPs in our secret vault with Rafael's completed music that will be released in the next years.
Best regards,
be fast ;)

"All MVS versions are limited to one print run. The game will be licensed in 2016 to another arcade platform for Japan/Asia."
This is probably also the reason for the lack of reprints for NEO XYX. Awesome achievement for NGDEV; from indie releases on MVS to releases on a active arcade distribution platform. :slowclap:

I like it. Sadly it seems I will never ever have the opportunity to play it.

They could become something like the german SNK. Their team just has to grow and the games must be available to more people. And the games do need a little more balancing and more gamemodes, a bigger team could solve this. I like game modules but MVS AES is just to expensive, to big and to exclusive for most people and sadly there aren't much arcades in the west today.

The player character sprites don't quite match the new and improved backgrounds and enemies.

Seems to be improving but it's still too expensive to give it a try

I really want it , shame it's not £100 cheaper. The thing is I don't think it will devalue so probably worth it if I can scrape up the fund's. .
