Yeah. It depends on the game. And for a lot of the genre, it’s truly irrelevant. Sometimes there is no port. Sometimes it matters that nobody plays the game anymore. Sometimes the arcade version has a “tournament” setting, sometimes it doesn’t.
As bad an idea as more grandiose NEO·GEO features turned out to be in terms of practicality, I love what they were trying to accomplish. In many cases they had AES and MVS versions, as well as multiple regions’ data on the same cart. They could ship the same ROM anywhere in the world and the BIOS did the region selection for them. Then again, that’s probably why they had a lot of SNKglish.
There are some games that act that way for other systems, but I don’t know of any other game system where that was the general rule.
