Analogue Interactive CMVS Slim review. Classic Game Room reviews the ANALOGUE INTERACTIVE Neo-Geo CMVS Slim which is a consolized NeoGeo MVS game system that plays giant Neo Geo MVS video game cartridges.
I have a 4 slot mvs cab in my living room but I still want this! Ugh! Too much gaming stuff to buy! Vita, Supaboy, then this...maybe? Keep up the great work CGRHD!
@kenbefound The MVS is from the actual Arcade Machine.... The AES was a dedicated Home console based on the arcade hardware but used dedicated cartridges for it. They are crazy expensive (150-200 bucks!) The MVS ones run anywhere from 20-100 bucks at max).. Also, there are many awesome games that were never made available for AES (Nightmare in the Dark and others). So this system is by far and incredible invested given the money you save on games......
Mark! Would the Neo Geo CD controller or the Analogue Arcade Stick work on the Atari 5200? Their controller ports look nearly identical to the Atari 5200's.
Depends on how much you like Neo-Geo games. I personally will keep my AES collection going up rather than getting one of these. The AES games are more expensive in the long run but are more collectible. I may end up getting one anyway because the craftsmanship is just beautiful.
@mitzibishi, Any recommended Pc exclusive titles that would embarass something like God of War 3 in graphics and gameplay? If there's a few I'd like to check em out if it's worthy exclusive stuff.
@Disthron No... This is basically the guts of the NEO GEO MVS arcade cabinet stuck into a console. They use the original board out of the cabinet so it's not a reproduction.
My awesome Caanoo is a fraction of the size of the cartridge and a fraction of the cost. And can hold about every Neo Geo game there is. This is still a pretty neat device but no way would I plop down the expense for it.
@Shmazeturuz That's because of Germany Engineering. I guess German Enginerring got to be quite good after WWII. Anyway, apparently here in the states, nobody can make money off products that last years anymore.
@jstark069 I also wanted to tell you that if you don't want to break the bank, or don't really cared about being a hardcore collector... I "HIGHLY RECOMMEND" checking out the Neo Geo Multicarts available.... There is a 161 in 1 cart that I got from the Jammaboards site... Pops right in... No issues what so ever.... Also has many modded versions of games on it :)
"You can club animals with that thing." LOL funny dude. I am currently saving up for a CMVS. If Analogue Interactive released a NeoCd based console they would need to discover a way to decrypt those damn system bios so they can bypass the horrendous load times provided they include a 2x or greater CD drive..
does it support neo-geo aes cartridges? what's the price for this btw? i fear, a lot. since "even" collecting games for aes probably will cost you a fortune. the controller port for this thing looks like one for the famicon btw.
lightsouthaha From the website: _"We thought as much about the exterior as we did the interior. The Analogue Nt is precision fabricated from a single, solid block of 6061 aluminum."_ That you would never put the words 'solid', 'block', and 'aluminum' together doesn't stop it from being perfectly reasonable to put the words together when they all apply.
They did put a little bit more effort into it though. They actually added in a mod to get digital video out of the system (it's a popular mod that basically takes the NES' video signal before it gets turned into analog and converts it to HDMI, which makes it way easier to use on a HDTV. Also, since there isn't any conversion from digital to analog and back, it doesn't lose any fidelity when it is upscaled. That said, I still don't think the price on them is fair. But, I think it's quite clear Analogue Interactive is meant as a luxury brand, and like other luxury brands they carry the according price.
Nice! GREAT HARDCORE COLLECTIVABLE! THANKS MAN! NOW i got ANOTHER reason to hate TERMITES! LMFAO! DUDE IM consolizing one as we speak DUDE this system ROCKS! I got the MV_1C Thanks
Everyone should support (purchase) this console instead of hacking away at the original Aes systems, besides the asking price on modded Aes systems is ridiculous and overpriced, I'd rather have this complete custom by a long shot.
ending XD, I think Atari should release a Soilid Metal Atari 2600 with a Birch wood effect have it weigh between 20 and 30 lbs and has alot of games built in :P Set price 25-100$
Also worth noting is that while the MVS Slim is very expensive, the games are much cheaper than an AES (but not a NGCD). Plus there are more games for it. So really, it's still for diehard collectors, but it's for the diehards that want to save money in the long run.
@glitchedgamer I actually am a collector, and do prefer owning games and playing on the original hardware whenever I can. Neo Geo is just prohibitively expensive.
@kenbefound Google is your friend on that stuff. I have one of these systems and they are amazing for what you get. You can read posts on here of people complain about price. But you could hunt down and arcade machine for 450, and you have no clue about reliability, and repairs (Screen,controls). Also, the money you save on games and connectivity. They really are not charging very much for the amount of polish they put into this thing. I have the Walnut one. This and my Gamecube Q
@ethinethin I can tell you aren't a collector. It is much more satisfying to own and play a game with the original hardware than just owning a digital download or compilation CD.
@kenbefound I have the Walnut one with all the connector options. The 1st run had that setup I think. I'm glad I got that type of setup, because the specialty cable they make for the new ones are VERY unique... If anything ever happens to it you are very literally screwed. I like that I can just use my own cables and not worry about losing one or going bad, and then never being able to find another because they only made so many.... Because of that.... Buy a few extra of them....
WHY?!! Why can't SNK produce a Neo Geo Arcade Stick Controller for $50 with AV cables where you can stick in SD cards containing games you download from their website? Sega is doing that kind of thing now for $30 and their joystick games without SD card support is $50.
@steve5123456789 yes but they are emulated and don't run as well as on the neo geo. also the I prefer the arcade sticks. simply put neo geo aes is arcade perfect and neo geo station is not. it still is for the real hardcore games and enthusiast though. others are just fine with the emulated versions of the games although I doubt all aes games will be emulated
