These are research notes, written to keep track of evidence. They're precise but dense. The AW-NET and game pages tell the same story in plainer language.
Detailed research notes. Quoted source text may be machine-translated.
SNK’s NeoGeo Battle Coliseum download page offered an “AW-NET character movie” in Windows Media format (4.1 MB). The 79-second film shows the three bosses sold through AW-NET—Mizuchi, Neo Dio and Shishioh—using their attacks. It does not show the AW-NET shop, prices or sign-up screens. The video file is in the archive.
