It is, but it's post-Xbox/PS2, so can't be included here.

The carts are cheaper, yeah, but the price of entry is still steep.
Superguns are getting cheaper, and a good 1-slot MVS board will run you about $125.
If space is no issue, you could go even cheaper by lurking Craigslist or going to an arcade auction. I have on at least three occasions gotten arcade machines for $50 or less. They weren't beautiful, but they worked. Just toss a 1-slot board in there, drill holes for extra buttons if necessary, and you're good to go.
I imagine that the load times on NGCD are prohibitive? I've played it on the PS2 anthology (though I never got around to SSV), but I'd like to switch to a console port.
I played the PSone version of SamSho4Special, and the loading times didn't seem that bad. I've never played the PSone version of SS2, so I dunno, but it is one of the best in the series.
Ya know, I'll say, since they're all on the PS2, go ahead and get NeoGeo Battle Coliseum, SamShoVI, and KOF2002UM. None are Neo Geo games (though I believe the Neo Geo version of 2002 is included with 2002UM on PS2), but all of them are worth having. NGBC is a legitimately fun game although a little wonky. SS6 is loaded with characters - I think it actually has every character that has ever appeared in a SamSho game. And 2002UM might just be the best KOF game.
