You read right, a Neo Geo AES game just sold for $30,000 at an airport! Now what game could possibly be worth that much? Well this wasn’t just any game. In fact it was an American version of Aero Fighters 3. A game, which up until now, was only thought to have existed in Japan as ‘Sonic Fighters 3′. Michael DiCioccio, also know as TonK, found out about the existence of at least three of these carts from an ex-employee of SNK.

While all the facts have not been made public, Michael has been kind enough to provide many of the nitty gritty details surrounding this historic video game find. Click on to read the complete details from the man himself!

I am aiming in this article to calm those down who are up in arms and hopefully encourage some people to try out FFXIII-2 as it is a really strong installment in the Final Fantasy franchise.

First off let me acknowledge the complaints of some individuals. The main argument is that *spoiler* the ending to the game has a “To be continued” included. That combined with the fact that story based DLC will be released soon gives off the vibe that Square Enix released an unfinished game and are making people PAY to get the true ending. I get that.
