Neo Geo Games & Hardware Near Atlanta

Neo Geo at NOSTOS

Neo Geo - both AES (home console) and MVS (arcade board) - is one of NOSTOS's core focus platforms. The market is globally distributed, authenticity matters significantly, and most local sellers and buyers don't have the technical depth to price and grade Neo Geo hardware accurately. We do.

AES vs. MVS - The Key Distinction

Neo Geo AES (home) and MVS (arcade) use the same game code but different cartridge form factors. AES cartridges are larger, have home-market packaging, and command a significantly higher premium due to smaller production numbers. MVS is the arcade board format - less expensive, playable on MVS arcade hardware or converters, but priced very differently.

NOSTOS grades and prices AES and MVS separately. The ability to distinguish genuine AES from converted MVS boards - a common fraud in the Neo Geo market - is a core competency here.

CIB Premium on Neo Geo AES

Neo Geo AES CIB commands the largest loose-to-CIB premium of any platform NOSTOS handles - typically 3x–6x on high-demand titles. The boxes use an unusual plastic/cardboard composite construction that develops seam splits and corner crush over time. Box structural integrity is evaluated independently from game completeness.

High-demand titles for context: Metal Slug series, Garou: Mark of the Wolves, Pulstar, Blazing Star, Samurai Shodown II.
