Hey, Remember That Weird Handheld Neo-Geo Thing? It Actually Exists

I want it.

Hopefully it'll have a TV-out option. I also hope the homebrew guys jump on this; it would make a great emulation box for all sorts of old games. The 500-quid pricetag is a little scary, though; hopefull it isn't true.

I said this at the time the first announcement was made. No Neo Turf, No Sale!.

Top Players Golf is good but Neo Turf Masters is the better golf game.

I won't lie. I would buy this as a dedicated handheld for Metal Slug, SamSho, and KOF94 on the road. If I can add my own roms... legally? The price is justified.

thumbs up here.

Ha, that's pretty awesome.

Day 1, will be buying 3 of them for sure.

Blaze confirms £500 price tag for NeoGeo X Apparently Eurogamer was kicking up a stink about it not being real, but Blaze stand by the figure.

Wait what, £500?

More than a 360 and a PS3 combined?

Are all games in upper case?

D Button?

Has there ever been a D button before?

D definitely existed. I can verify that in Baseball Stars 2, the D button activates "Time Out"

Finally, a handheld that is relevant to my interests.

If its under $100 I'll get it.

if the price is right this could be weird enough to warrant a purchase.

Seems like a pretty low risk, and kinda fun move for SNK. If it comes in around $100 or less, I might get one.

Its worth it if the price is not ridiculous. I'd buy it mainly cus that seems like a real nostalgic trip.

Always wanted a Ne Geo, but that $700 for the console and $200 per game was redunk! Hope this is affordable!

Get Match of the Millennium on there and I'm sold.

Interesting idea but defiantly not for me

Depending on how much this cost, it might be worth it for Baseball Stars. Who am I kidding, its worth it no matter what.

Somebody is Releasing a Neo Geo system and Giant Bomb is now in the same building as GameSpot. The world has gone insane.

Could be neat. I hope it's not too expensive.

Okay I now want one again. Hopefully they'll keep up with production because if the price is within $100~150 I see it selling out quickly.

Looks slick. I don't need one, but seems like the kind of thing I might buy while drunkenly browsing Amazon late at night at some point.

Back when I was a retro game collector, the Neo-Geo stuff was the pride of my collection. Make this reasonably priced and I'll pre-order it.

HI ALEX!

Well, now we know what Jeff is spending his money on.

Correction, that sweet ass CBS corporate money. Although I would not be surprised if he buys one for himself with his own money..... its Jeff we are talking about here.

The company will buy one and he will order one right before the company one shows up and won't be bothered to return his :)

The games list needs more Money Puzzle Exchanger and Magical Drop.

I`m wondering how expensive this One might become at the End.

Alex really likes the word "apparently", apparently.

The screen doesn't seem to be the same aspect ratio as Neo-Geo games, though. :\ Like, 4:3 vs 16:9. Could be just my eyes, though.

I must have one. HHNNNNGGGG. :|

will i be able to plunge my NEOGEO cart in it and play them? (i would totally buy some cart if i could)

But are the L and R buttons still backwards? Because that drove me over the edge of insanity when I saw it in the last article. I MUST KNOW.

How much could they get away with charging for this thing? Is the demand that high for some portable gaming system that plays games from the early 90s?

Is it strange that I kinda want this more than a Vita? Maybe it's just because this thing actually looks like it would fit in my pocket.

Considering that the Neo Geo Pocket Color is the greatest handheld system of all time, I am very excited.

Hey, Alex? I can't believe you getting paid for writing is actually a thing.

I'll pick one up if...

WOW. I might actually get that if it's not too expensive.

If this exists, I HIGHLY doubt that SNK or any other studio is going to develop new games for it.

Vita Price Drop incoming

year of the Neo-Geo

Well... shit.

I want one.

Well, now we know what Jeff is spending his money on.

GET ME LAST BLADE 2, SAMSHO2, MATRIMELEE, AOF3, AND MARK OF THE WORVES AND I AM ON BOARD. SNK vs. CAPCOM IS A COOL GAME TOO. ALSO LOTS OF WEIRD / KIND OF BAD FIGHTING GAMES TOO.

Awesome, if its the right price I might totally buy this! Can I get a lil Puzzle Bobble on this thing or maybe Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo?

weird
