There were two companies who released NG gaming movies, often known as combo videos:  The media giant Pony Canyon under their Scitron label, and Gamest, who famed for their printed material started a subusidiary in 1994 known as Gamest Video.

So then, what ARE these “NEO·GEO Movies” anyway?  What’s the difference between Gamest and Scitron?  Why should I buy one instead of the other you ask (good luck even finding them!)?

Scitron movies show vs matches by their professional players, vs cpu battles, a killer combos sections, and depending on the title, boss strategies.  Since all Pony Canyon releases were co-produced by SNK or ADK, they include features such as humourous character dialogues by the voice actors during play, well as bonuses like the game’s television commercials where available.  Also, as these were intended to sell and gain fame for the companies, Pony Canyon churned out more releases than Gamest, which in some cases like World Heroes Perfect or AoF 3, are the only such videos for the games.  Also, there is often a concluding feature of the best matches and/or combos; which of the two tends to depend on the age of the video.  Arranged music accompanies the programme from KoF ’94 onwards, and inserts were included with both forms of media.
