Are they going to bring back replicas of the carts; I rarely see them in the wild?
I never knew anybody who had a Neo Geo. I’ve never once seen the console or cartridges in real life. Who is this for?
Always wanted one but it was for the rich kids
I have a few of the original cartridges (Metal Slug 2 and X, a couple of the King of Fighters games, Puzzle Bobble, maybe more…) because I have some 90s era arcade machines so had a NeoGeo 1-slot for the otherwise Jamma machines. I assume this means those original cartridges will work with the relaunched console, which could be nice.
The closest I got to a NeoGeo was when I saw the advertisements in the back of video game magazines.
Figured only Corey Haim had one.
But I already have emulation at home.
If this was released today I would buy. I don’t like pre orders because you get shafted a lot.
How much does it cost and how much/where can I buy the games?
They are extending patents, copyright and trademark rights by doing so. Nothing more, nothing less.
Second time in 30+ years i won’t be able to get a NEO GEO. It’s a bit pricey but looks good!
To the author, the name of the company making those other hardware emulators is Analogue, not Analog.
And I’m not sure why the link to the Superstation One is named what it is because the Superstation One is emulated, not an „authentic hardware recreation“.
I’m a bit skeptical the AES+ is not emulated. If Plaion really made a custom ASIC then they took a serious risk. They’ll have a hell of a time making up the costs of the masks and other setup costs. Especially given the limited market for an emulator that can only run original carts and not ROM files. Just think of how few people actually own those old carts. Now assume a very high attach rate of like 30% and you still don’t end up with a lot of sales.
I also I wonder if finding 16-bit wide RAM was actually hard nowadays. If you wanted to have accurate hardware you’d have to have the same bus width.
I’m sure this machine will be quite accurate in its duplication of the old functionality whether it’s emulated or hardware recreated.
Neo Geo hardware in a modern shell with no emulation lag. If the price is reasonable this will sell out instantly. The nostalgia market is strong right now.
No S-Video or RGB out??? They go to all that work and then cripple it??? It’s literally an arcade system, not having RGB is criminal!
