Fire Suplex ~ 3 Count Bout (Neo Geo CD) price, value & rarity
The American edition retitled 3 Count Bout, markedly pricier than the Japanese Fire Suplex because US Neo Geo CD pressings circulated in far smaller quantities across a thin North American install base. This distribution scarcity, not any difference in content, explains the sharp price gap. Worth noting: the English sleeve bearing the 3 Count Bout title, specific to the American market, is what durably sets this version apart from its Japanese counterpart.
Is Fire Suplex ~ 3 Count Bout still worth playing in 2026?
Fire Suplex, alias 3 Count Bout, is an SNK arcade wrestling game in which colorful wrestlers clash in the ring, with optional cage matches. The grappling system, the gallery of caricatural wrestlers and the snappy pace bring a pleasant outlet, faithful to the arcade spirit. The depth stays limited and repetition sets in fast. For fans of retro arcade wrestling and relaxed fighting games, it is a direct and colorful diversion, mainly delightful for two-player clashes.
