Hi everyone,


Thank you all for your incredible support and patience over the past couple of years or so whilst we've strived to prepare all three of the Neo Geo versions ready for release - we had to contend with PCB design issues, chip shortages, Matt's ongoing effects from his head injury and of course the pandemic! It was an eye-opening experience and proved to be even more involved than the Mega Drive / Genesis version, which we fully expected. We hope we now have a very solid supply chain for plastics, PCBs and software tooling that will make things massively simpler for future Neo Geo game development though.


So, we are very pleased to say that Xeno Crisis for Neo Geo has shipped! All AES, MVS and NGCD pre-orders were shipped in one big batch on Monday. (Only any orders from the last 2-3 weeks will need to be caught up asap).



You should have received tracking details from Shopify and/or Royal Mail, please note that Shopify is referencing old addresses if you updated yours in the recent form. So no need to worry if you check the tracking code it should confirm the correct address. Customers with multiple orders will have had their orders merged so their tracking code may refer to all their orders (in some cases there are multiple parcels too).



All physical releases of Xeno Crisis for Neo Geo are entitled to a free ROM file to accompany their physical copy (we will also be selling the ROM file separately for other customers). However, we will be delaying the availability of the ROM to everyone most likely for about 3-4 weeks so that nearly everyone has the chance to get their copy and play it before it's released. The ROM upon release will be available in various formats including MAME, NeoSD, Darksoft Multi, Mister, NeoCD SD loader, etc...



A bit of extra information for MVS orders; the cartridge shells are very highly polished (just like the originals) so they do mark very easily. We have done our best to minimize marks but as everything is hand-assembled and has to go through various stages of manufacturing including testing on a real MVS there will be some marks. You can often buff them out, but you will find even after light use they will re-appear (again just like originals).



We have also had numerous requests for extra MVS parts like softboxes with covers and some art-set parts including marquees. We will be adding some options for these to our shop in the next few days so keep an eye out for them. AES Collector's Edition customers should also note that the covers in the snap boxes are reversible, so you are able to change them to the standard cover design if you prefer. We have done as much as we can to make the release feel as authentic as possible, searching high and low for suppliers of parts that match the originals. We hope you will appreciate the effort and care that's been put in to achieve this.



EU customers - obviously Brexit has complicated matters in recent times so we've done as much as we can to mitigate any issues. We brought all manufacturing into the UK so all of our products are made in England and there is no extra import duty to pay. That said, VAT is a little complicated, from the advice we have been given all pre-orders before July 1st 2021 should not be liable for VAT. However, we have no easy mechanism to declare and confirm that when processing for delivery, so if you have trouble confirming your pre-order dates to any VAT request, we can supply you with company letter-headed invoice documents to confirm your order and the date placed. In many cases, this will show the VAT already taken and paid (we had an official VAT registration at a certain point). Needless to say, we will work with you as best we can to try to minimize / eliminate any excess charges.



Thanks for all your support - any questions as always please get in touch with us. As with any bulk delivery, there will be a small percentage of parcels that delay, have issues, etc... we'll work with you to get those resolved should a problem arise.

A nous d'assumer, mais j'ai quand même un peu mal au c.. aujourd'hui.

Mais perso, j’ai hâte d’avoir vos retours et j’espère que ça sera aussi bien, voir mieux que sur MD
