>>737060124>another retro console with 0 good games>Yawn. wWake me up when they release another retro console with 0 good games
Too bad the original carts are still only affordable by drug cartel leaders and oil barons.
>>737059842>999Oh wow, it's even priced like the Neo Geo.
>>737060306>still malding over BloodborneKEKAROOOOOOOOOO
what the fuck is this thread man
>>737059842instead of wasting money making that, they should have made a remake of Crystalis.
>>737059842>$999 US Dollars
>>737060369There's a cheaper bumdle with just Metal Slug for $350 and a stock model for $250.
>>737060463it’s a warning shot to tendies and snoys. SNK is back
>>737059842I respect the whole package with the stick and recreation of the boxes. If I was in the market to spend a grand on a retro game novelty, I'd be looking at this.
>>737059842Who asked for this?
>no world heroes 2no buy
It’s good because you don’t have to submit your ID to palantir to use this console
>>737061869Ah shweet, a new schizo boogeyman!
>>737059842>Console preorder price: $200 (possibly plus tax/shipping)>Games preorder price: $50 the piece (possibly plus tax/shipping)>All hardware (sticks, memcard, EVEN THE NEW GAME CARTS) is touted to be compatible with the original AES console, meaning yes, they are indeed reproducing hardware from zero.So not only the console is gonna be cheap (compared to the originals) but its gonna be as authentic as humanely possible. if what they claim is true then they just gave an inhumane hit to the entire NG hardware scene.
>>737062209I just listed my entire AES collection on eBay. I'm so fucking mad but I'm not gonna be a bag holder this time.
>>737061968>dumb retard doesn't know>>>/g/108608900
>>737062347how does this affect your collection?
>>737062347I don’t think it’s going to hurt original cart values that much. It’s going to crush the market for repros though since even those can go for a few hundred bucks
Will it work with OG carts?Can I load up games on it via other methods?
>>737062347>the point of retro collection is to make moneyIs that really why you got into it? You don’t like to play games?
>>737059842Why did they make it expensive as fuck AGAIN?
If only I didn't just used neoragex on my pentium 3 almost 3 decades ago to play the same games.
>>737062581Yes, it’s in the op that it’s backwards compatible with original carts. I don’t think you can load games from an sd card or anything but some of the existing flash carts might work on it
>>737060331these repro carts will bring down the prices
>>737062796>I've been brown for 3 almost 3 decadesok
>>737062537as is right, faggots scalping repros of all things deserve to hurt
>>737062929lmao what a cope
>>737062728The $999 is for the ultimate version with console, two sticks, gamepad, 10 games, and a rack to hold all your gaems There are cheaper options like standalone console which I think is $250 or thereabouts
>>737059842NEO GEO Retro market is kill lmao>>737062698
>>737062728Look >>737062209The 999+ pricepoint is for the ultimate edition (the console, a second stick, a pad, a memcard and the first 10 game run).
>>737062728Because nostalgia baiting consoles are essentially retard money vacuums. Things like the Evercade, the Atari console reprints, and the "classic" systems from Nintendo and Sony are entirely to get money from nostalgiafags who want an "official" emulation machine.At least with this Neo Geo thing it's an actual honest to God reprint of the machine with them manufacturing brand new original chips so it's legitimately a new printing of the original console justifying its existence.
>>737063012I know a couple dudes who'd enjoy that as a gift
>>737059842I truly wonder how they even funded this. Is oil money that magical?This isn't even FPGA. They're literally resurrecting hardware that hasn't been produced in ages.A shame it's coming out November since that means 0 chance for a Black Friday special this year. If you slash the prices in half it becomes really fucking tempting, which I suspect might be their goal if they keep producing these.
>>737063030It was kill since 2023
>no KoF98>no Last BladeWhy.
>>737059842Another NeoGeo remake? How many times do they plan to keep doing that?At least this time it won't be just running FBA I guess, but how much of a NeoGeofag do you have to be to buy one?Looking forward to the Ashens review
What do I think about the 10 included games?>Metal Slug>The King of Fighters 2002>Garou: Mark of the Wolves>Big Tournament Golf (Neo Turf Masters)>Shock Troopers>Samurai Shodown V Special>Pulstar>Twinkle Star Sprites>Magician Lord>Over Top
>>737063408Yeah 2023>2026 alreadyMy God...
>>737063467All fantastic except for Over Top which is like 4 minutes of gameplay unironically. Neo Drift Out was right there, in the same genre.
>>737063467You think that it’s a wise selection of games that are well regarded, cover a variety of genres, and are expensive as hell to get originals or never existed on AES before (Shock Troopers 1).
>>737063467>not the best Metal Slug>not the best KOF>not the best falta furyinto the trash
>>737063645>not the best KOFu wut m8?
You could just get a MiSTer for a fraction of the price.
>>737063596>>737063634Look at how attractive gaming hardware can be when it's funded by oil lords and made by professional German autists. They're marketing these games like they're new and it's just that simple.
>>737062209oh no!!! somebody think of the scalpers!!!!
>>737063645>not the best Metal Slugokay tell me what you think is the bestif you don't pick wrong (4/5 chance), i won't laugh at you
>>737063857Th-three...
>>737063930
NEO GEO NEO GEO 4 BRIGHT BUTTONS AND TWO JOYSTICKS
>It's the MiSTerfag againEither pay for the console or you emulate.
>>737059842>>The ultimate NEOGEO experience at home>>$999 US DollarsI see that once again, the price is a big part of the experience.
>>737063467Where's Blazing Star? I want BONUS!
A Switch 2 is 449
>>737063696only turd world countries like 02, specifically KOF02 hackroms, and these countries wont buy this obviously. The should have picked KOF 98 instead (the whistest choice)
>>737064163The NG was always for richfags.
>>737063467I already own an AES and I'll be buying at least half of those. I hope we'll see more runs of carts.
>>737064478Neo Geo AES+ is $200Games are $90 same as Shitch 2
>>737064023He won bigly
>>737064232Dont you mean BONER!
>>737063467Not bad. Twinkle Star Sprites is an awesome pick, but I would've also liked to see Sengoku 3 in there.
>>737063857The answer is Metal Slug 2 with fixed slowdowns.
>>737059842>999 bucks for an fpga LMAO the snk sandniggers are smoking some good stuff
>>737059842>>Hardware-faithful reimplementation>>No emulation - Powered by re-engineered ASIC chipsOh I'm sure it will be different this time. I'm sure they won't make 10 different edge case fuckups like they always do. This time for sure.
>>737059842>$999
>>737064758Yeah, why is it half the price of a Switch 2?
>>737064978Anon they remade the original chips,it's not an fpga,it's the exact same fucking chips of the 1990 console being produced again in 2026
>>737065082The 999 version is the bells and whistles box set with the games, extra controllers and shit.
>>737063467Why so few when they have so many games and it costs so much?
>>737065187What are you supposed to be doing with any other version?
>>737065254Buy an everdrive?Or play your original 25.000$ games idk lol
>Twinkle Star SpritesHAH! Suck it scalpers
>Not kof98I mean I like 02 and I get they need to save something for later, but it's odd is all I'm saying
>>737065151They're CLAIMING it's not an FPGA. Same way Analogue says their console isn't emulation, when in fact it is, albeit on a hardware level rather an software. I'd wait for a review, and then judge it from there. Considering SNK's history of fucking up their re-releases of their consoles, I'd hold on to purchasing the console.
>>737059842>$999 US DollarsFor fucking Neo-Geo?
>>737059842I have over 1500 hours combined across the games in this collection and I audibly laughed when I read this description. SNK paypiggies are something else.
>>737059842cool, and thanks to ps5 pro, its 900 dollars original cost seems competitive nowdays.
another version of neogeo for like 3 people in the world to own kek
>>737065761The three coolest people in the world
>>737065283>>737065254>>737065187a neo geo aes flash cart is still $700 jesus christand that's assuming they work on this unknown machine and won't output improper voltage destroying both items
>I have over 1500 hours combined across the games in this collection and I audibly laughed when I read this description. SNK paypiggies are something else.
>>737065570>for hardware that's had amazing emulation since the 90syup........
>>737059842$999Lmao, for that money I can eat the "not original hardware" penalty, and build an actual pie based arcade cabinet. Jesus Christ. It doesn't even come with all NEOGEO games, which would easily be doable, just 10 titles. >Metal Slug, The King of Fighters 2002, Garou: Mark of the Wolves, Big Tournament Golf, Shock Troopers, Samurai Shodown V Special, Pulstar, Twinkle Star Sprites, Magician Lord, Over TopWhere is Fatal Fury (special)? Where is Metal Slug X? Where is Metal Slug 3? Aero Fighters 2? They expect me to pay a thousand fucking dollars for this?
>>737065905I am literally the only person in this thread that has played these games extensively with other human beings.
snkfags are trying to be relevant by calling themselves the coolest kek
I'm really surprised other companies haven't done more like this. There has to be a demand for SNES.
>>737066012You and your 'cord sisters aren't human.
Most Neo Geo games are already on PS4, Last Blade, Metal Slug, King of Fighters, Blazing Star.
>>737066297see the reason SNK has had multiple bankruptcies and is still struggling with oil money while Nintendo breaks sales records is that Nintendo is far more efficient in keking their fans
>>737066297NSO suscriptions are more profitable for Nintendo
>>737063467Garou is a great game.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMa-anS6xVgNot worth 999$ lol
>>737066349ACA definitely covers all the mainstream Neo Geo lineup, just missing the rarer stuffI'm also sad this probably means Code Mystics won't keep releasing batches to GOG as they were far superior to the DotEmu versions even if they're still not perfect.
>>737066327>I buy and collect games that I think only trannies playJust another day in the retro scene
saw thisimmediately shelled the bucksI've been asking for new retro hardware and not retarded gay emulation pies for yearsAnd I definitely wasn't spending half a mortgage's worth on metal slug 1fuck your playstation mini, snes mini, genesis mini and all that gay bullshit with 50hz pal games and shitI hope others take note
>>737066543>tranimeopinion discarded
Imagine buying Garou AES for $3500 off ebay and then a week later they announce new copies for $90. LOL
>>737066601Bro a used mvs board is like $200 on average and stuff like metal slug and shock troopers is something you 1cc in a week and get bored with
>>737066601I MIGHT get it. I'm interested but I really want to see someone with their hands on it and given it a review. I'd also like to see more of their long term pans for games.
>>737066543I don't buy games. I download whole ROMsets and play them with MiSTer, on a CRT, with original controllers.
>>737066707I looked up Twinkle Star just for a laugh right now.
>>737066297>There has to be a demand for SNES.you can buy bootlegs for cheap
>>737066735Anon, most of these games are made for multiplayer, why wouldn't you play them on fightcade? Even metal slug is 10x better co-op. And wtf do you mean on original controllers, these are ports of arcade games, meant to be played on an arcade stick, not a neogeo controller. Functionally the neogeo is pretty close to arcade, but the controllers are not.
>>737063467I'd swap Over Top for League Bowling
>>737066814Nintendo even made their own official bootleg in the 90's. The 1CHIP boards are officially made clones, complete with compatibility issues.>>737066889>And wtf do you mean on original controllers, these are ports of arcade games, meant to be played on an arcade stick, not a neogeo controller.How has your tranny self never heard of pic related?
>>737067090>How has your tranny self never heard of pic relatedI just said that is NOT how these games were designed to be played lmao. Neogeo is a arcade port machine, it's like the dreamcast. These aren't console games.
>>737066889lmao this is word for word the type of retarded zoomer post i'd expect on r/kappachinonever actually grew up in the era, only learning from other sources
>>737067202>I just said that is NOT how these games were designed to be played lmao.It's official SNK hardware for an SNK console.>These aren't console games.Wrong. Metal Slug 1&2 even have an exclusive mode on CD.
>>737067090i think it was a good move that the new pads have the modern A,C,B,D layout authenticity be damned
>>737067202you're so unfathomably retardedthe neo geo was explicitly designed to be played both at at the arcade and at homeevery game has an mvs and aes modethe fact you don't know this means you're a pseud of the highest order
>>737067240Bro what era, did you grow up in columbia
>>737067390Why didn't arcade cabs have dinky little console controllers attached to them? This is the problem with the snk fandom, they don't actually play the games
>>737067339The neogeo cd is still the same base hardware as the neogeo, but adapted to play the cds.The cds have the exact same data as the carts, but they also can contain cd audio.It is still the same experience, but with loading times. And at least more affordable than the AES... But less games too unfortunately.
>>737067506>Why didn't arcade cabs have dinky little console controllers attached to them?Fat faggot trannies like you would break them faster.
>>737067718Why the fuck would you play an arcade game on an analogue stick retard, don't tell me you've actually been doing this
>>737067805SNK never made a controller with an analog stick, retard troon.
>>737067673>$Any amount of money whatsoever
>>737065998Its honestly an amazing deal considering how much the pieces are individually, the fact that the console plays old games, plays new ones, the controllers are compatible with the old system, has hdmi and crt, and the games are $90 each.Its the same console from the ground up. if you want an original, they start at $400 and go up. You dont know if the old systems will break, or if the plastic quality will be good, etc.Hell, Twinkle Star Sprites just sold for $170 on ebay. You can get it from this set (and play it on old systems) for $90.This is a good deal, son.
>>737067834This retard is trying to do precise inputs on a shitty ass controller with no dpad, here's the snk fanbase. Go make a thread about how beating the cpu is impossible.
>>737066730Every announcement states "launch lineup" and "launch titles" and whatnot so I'm expecting more support down the line, especially if it does well.I'm hoping for metal slug 2 and 3 later. 3 is one of my favorite games ever.
>>737067887It's a fine deal as long as it works as intended. Let the retro youtubers find out for us.
>>737067887>and the games are $90 each.amazing deal
>>737067954You could not be any more of a johnny-come-lately tranny poser than not knowing about SNK's famous microswitch controllers, used in both the Neo Geo CD and the Pocket.
>>737068069Anon, the controllers are not good, they are not fit for precise inputs, and you're falling for retarded 30 year old snk magazine ads
>>737067980Official Metal Slug 2 with the slowdown fixed would easily be the best thing they could do and everyone would agree its superiority trumps historical accuracy.
>>737059842>A whole GFightcade will do.
>>737062347retard
>>737068175>Anon, the controllers are not goodYou didn't even know about them until five minutes ago. What a pathetic existence.
>>737067673I'm obviously not gonna buy one, just let me pog out for a minute. It's a cool thing they're doing.
>>737068202I'd probably get 98 just so I could touch it
The problem with the retro scene is that people will hype up games not because they are good, but because they have a pile of pcbs rotting in a bank vault and their retirement hinges on those things holding value. And once a month there's some new fomo hardware for all of them to pile onto. Not a single retro collector plays games. They're worse than the people buying the latest AAA slop.
>>737059842But why. Already have an OG neo geo with HD out. Had an OG NG when they were new. At age 15. Working at Kroger’s at a kid paid tf off.
>>737068401The problem with retro threads is an obese tranny humiliating himself in all of them.
>>737068442>a job paid for my stuffNo shit
you can emulate pretty much every game in browser nowi dont need any more plastic shit
neogeo is one of the most overrated consoles of all time
>>737068069>SNK's famouskek
>play the games>UHHHHHHHHHHHH YOURE A FAT TRANNY FUCK YOU
>>737068705Playing arcade games on PC sounds like a good way to invalidate all your retro achievements
>>737068040You do know how much these games where originally right? Again, buying the original copies of these games is incredibly expensive.$90 for a repro from the company who made them is still nice.
>>737068584The "clicky microswitch" is the first thing anyone says about SNK's controller design.
>>737068931You're spending way too much time in collectors circles, you need to step outside the echo chamber
>>737068931what, the 5 people who touched an snk product lol>anything snk>famouskek
>>7370689838bitdo made an officially licensed USB replica of them a few years ago. You have no excuse for not knowing this shit, outside of being a newfag poser of course.
>>737069140where those any good?
>>737069140>You have no excuse for not knowing this shitThis is your own projection, as you've become hysterical and are not listening to reason.
Okay but why not just emulate for free?
so uh are they gonna make a gamepad that works with the pc?
>>737069196They were close enough to be a steal at 20 bucks, now at 60+ I'd say maybe if you're really into Neo Geo stuff.>>737069249Your ebin oldfag facade really falls apart quickly. Imagine not knowing basic retro gaming lore, what a fat tranny lmao.
>>737059842Every time someone claims "no emulation" it ends up being emulation.This includes Mister.
>>737069404>They were close enough to be a steal at 20 bucks,dang, sorry I missed that deal. I'll look at them. I need a new fightpad.
>>737069404>retro gaming lore>loreAnon, I've used the controller it's not a good input device. There's a reason it comes with a stick.
>>737060306Why would you respond to such obvious bait?
>>737069507Your obese troon hands have never held a Neo Geo CD controller. You didn't even know about it until today.
>>737069635Retardbro, you've been fighting the cpu in kof for 20 years, what do you know. Next go on a tirade about how last blade 2 is a hidden gem or something because you like the pixel art
>>737069709>what do you knowI know that you're an obese faggot tranny poser who knows nothing about vidya. At least you stopped even pretending to be le oldfag.
>>737069836You better hope that's not true because I've played these games a lot more than you have despite spending tens of thousands of dollars on them. SNK is a collector holy grail, not a gamer holy grail. There's a stark difference.
>>737069963Is anyone supposed to be impressed by some faggot playing with his fellow troons over the internet? I don't see how this is a flex in any way.
>>737068835like i give a shit. $90 for a game? lol. ever hear of an emulator
>>737059842This honestly pretty fucking good. The claim that everything is basically based on original hardware architecture with the same type of chips sounds pretty fucking wild. I'll probably wait for people to open up theirs to see if it's actual real hardware.Same for games, although I might buy Twinkle Start Sprites and Big Tournament Golf / Neo Turf Masters, since everything should be compatible with original hardware. As for the console itself, overclocking might be interesting for the titles with slowdown, if it's properly implemented.
i hope they do more sports games. league bowling, super sidekicks, windjammers, street hoop, baseball stars/2020.
>>737069471who the fuck ever claimed a mister wasn't emulation?
>>737060369>>737060902>>737061714>>737062728It's 199 euros for just the console, retards. That's pretty good.>>737062209The games are 80 euros each, not 50.
>>737070041>Is anyone supposed to be impressed by some faggot playing with his fellow troons over the internetIronically a lot of what I play is popular in korea.(it's ironic because I am constantly harassed by zoomer koreans) Retards here used to tell me for years VSP is not a popular game, and lo and behold it's the first game in the box. Similiarly, this is why I have attachments to things like ddsom and psyiko games, because they are popular in Korea. When I was on fightcade, these were the games they'd suggest I play, so now that I am done with fighting games I am playing those games in earnest. Because I played with lots of Koreans, and east asia in general. Capiche? No one has ever given a shit about these games in the west beyond gaudy sprite art and coomer pictures. You aren't an OG for playing neogeo games, that's not a flex. No one owned that when they were a kid.
>>737070407Nobody cares, retarded troon.
>>737070407*psikyo
>>737070484Tell me how you're an oldfag for dumping your retirement fund into hardware because a youtuber told you to do it.
>>737066492Well, you probably shouldn't pay that much for it. Your mileage may vary, of course.
>>737062891>>737059842are the repro carts mask rom? in other words, if they are glorified sd cards, I won't buy them
>>737070564The mvs for garou is like $250, there's no reason to own the AES
>>737070394Yeah, i know. The japanese pricing in yen translates to 50$ flat. But i checked the US pricing.I am pissed tho, that they dont sell it in mexico...AGAIN!>Second hand systems: very rare>Arcade1up cabs: non existent in latinamerica, never seen one. And now they ded.>This: they dont ship to mexico.Is this how being a victim of racism feels like?
>>737070645AES cart, box and manual alone is reason enough for me but not for that price.
>>737059842>even the pricetag is faithfulthey fucked up
>>737070556Collecting is for boomers, crying about collecting is for trannies.
>>737070734But why, it's more expensive and less authentic
>>737070792>Collecting is for boomersWhy would anyone want to be a boomer
>>737070775The console is 250, the games are 90 each. The 999 tag is for an all in one pack>Console>Second stick>A pad>A memory card>The 10 games.
does this thing even have good games? isn't everything on it ported elsewhere? Like I can play metal slug on anything.
>>737070809Oh, I meant for the original AES release. I'll most likely buy an MVS Garou at some point. The new ones might be cool for some of the games, even if only for the repro manuals and AES form factor.
>>737070564Collector markets can be crazy.
>>737064787Somebody get him the Dreamcast 2.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xsiLS48gqI
>>737070941I can assure you I have played the game to death for free. Still, I now have a very modest collection of Neo-Geo games. No MotW, though.
>>737070645It looks nice on the shelf
>>737065082$999 version? That's mine.
>>737071048That looks sad though, you could have filled that with anime girls and gunpla then just actually played the games on fightcade
>>737059842I mean I always wondered why they don’t just fucking make some new Super Nintendo games or Make some new ps2 games like why are those things not on the market anymore exactly? We still have fucking microwaves and toasters they didn’t stop making those jus because air friers became popular, I sincerely don’t get that.
>>737071143It happens here and there. Xeno Crisis is a Genesis game from 2019, Nox Archaist is an Apple II game from 2020.
>>737070697>SNK keeps neglecting turd world countries despite being the only ones who give a shit about themBased retards
Ya'll think they're going to re-release the Neo Geo Pocket Color too?
>>737071125>waste your money on stupid figures that do nothing goyI will never understand figurefags.At least modelfags build something.
but how many games are they going to rerelease? there were over a hundred
>>737071143They'd rather you pay for a subscription or overpriced compilations with copious latency instead.
>>737070932ah, fair. i thought the games were preloaded like all the other miniconsoles.
>>737071278Figs look cool. This is worth every cent.
>>737063696To me 2002 was always a modernized 98 with awful presentation and a combo extention mode I didn't care for. Good game for sure, but I quite prefer '98 for both mechanics and characters, even if I do like most of the NESTS saga characters as well. In fact, I'd rather play '99 and '00 instead of '02, even if especially the former is pretty darn janky.
>>737070936>does this thing even have good games?yes, actually. one of the few boomer consoles whose games are actually really good>isn't everything on it ported elsewhere?yes>Like I can play metal slug on anything.yes
I got Garou, Metal Slug(1, X, 3), Realbout 2, KoF98, Neo Turf Masters and Samurai Shodown 2 on MVS. While I do have an MVS and supergun, I am interested in this product and it would be awesome if these new systems could use an MVS to AES convertor.
>>737071307this one is different since it is not browmulation
>>737071278>robots and anime girls are worse than filling your shelf with games you don't playDude what, all my old games go in closet where they are out of the way, there is nothing nice to look at about the side of the box. I can see like an inch of dust on your shelf, you're not playing any of that
>>737059842>$1,000Good on SNK for protecting the collectors' market I guess.So we're still looking at $150+ for new Neo carts?
>>737071431so what's the point? Are the controllers/pads that good?
>>737059842Way too expensive
>>737071387So do game cases. In fact, I think they generally look cooler when it's a game I have nostalgia and/or passion for.I do have one figure that I got as a present. Wouldn't like to get a couple more at some point.
>>737071561The console itself with one controller is about $200 and games are $90 each.
I want Art of Fighting 3
>>737071367The games not only are physical, the makers claim that they will be compatible with the original AES hardware down from the get go. So if you have an AES already, you can just buy the new Metal Slug cart, and say fuck you to scalpers who want to charge 100000 for that game alone for example. Theres a reason why they are promoting that game as the flagship and is the one bundled in the anniversary bundle.
>>737071387Figs are not the real thing. They represent something else, like a videogame, a manga, an anime etc.I like those, I don't give a shit about figs. Figs are for posers. It's like going to a convention for cosplayers. Bitch I want the games and the anime, not fake, derivative shit.If you like them because "they look nice", then get a fucking good quality print of your favourite anime/videogame instead.Figs are stupid.
>>737071764I'd have pushed Twinkle Star in that case. That game is retarded high.
>>737071738It's really cool. Pretty weird as a versus game but it used to be one of my go to ones for single player fighters.
After playing some Castlevania 1 NES I've recently begun to realize that I want more arcade games in my life. Fuck long ass story that's awful, fuck padding, fuck bloat. Just give me immediate fun. What are the best games for this thing?
>>737071307They call these the "initial games" or something like that so there should be other releases but who knows how many.
>>737071881It's really unique for a 2d fighter and is honestly quite gorgeous
>>737071764thats insane. neogeo hardware is unobtainium for all but the richest fagsthey must be on suicide watch rn
>>737071764Why is MS in particular so expensive? I would expect that price from their post-98 releases qhen they were dying, but Metal Slug is from their most succesful era. There must be tons of carts around.
>>737062209>inhumane hit to the hardware scene Is this bait?
>>737071897Magician Lord is the most Castlevania like game on the system.
>>737071874You're in luck
>>737071914I'd really like to see what their road map is.
>>737071519Those are NOT THE REAL THING. Figs are not the anime or the game, they're fake!See >>737071859Get a print instead, plebeian.
>>737072016>they're fake!
>>737071897>Just give me immediate fun.Arcade games are not that, arcade games are learning things and failing a lot
>630€ for the console+games I want and I'd still need to emulate the rest of the games on other systems because I'm not paying 2k€ per cart
>$999Why is everything related to the NG always a retarded scam?
>>737072098Why are you illiterate?
>>737071949If i were to bet, it must be because in reality, there werent many carts made overall.The AES was an expensive deal already, an INVESTMENT, only bought by rich kids or businesses like motels or such that needed to put consoles for rent. So i imagine manufacturing AES carts wasnt enough priority. Even if it is a game like MS.
I really wish Nintendo would do this as well but i know it's not happening
>>737072098It has been mentioned several times it comes with 10 games and everything else. Each game is 90 USD, the base console is 250.
>>737072065What is the source? The source is not the figurine.
can it connect to the internet?
>>737072016Naw gunpla is more important than the anime itself and the main point of gundam. Merchandising in general is big in japan. Both Nintendo and Capcom have openly stated games are temporary and should be thrown away.
>>737072067Nah, it's still immediate fun. Not every arcade game is some super hardcore autistic shmup where you need to memorize every pixel.
>>737062479if they're doing reprints of his games then that will tank the value of them
>>737071949I assume there might be that much (in circulation), actually: not only is it an extremely popular series (when it comes to the system, at least; but traditionally very known and liked here on /v/ as well) but SNK bought out the developer soon after the release of the first Metal Slug, so it might be that they never printed more of the carts after the buyover. The print runs for some of the AES carts were very limited, and very few people seem to be willing to let go of their copies.
>>737072267Mmmmm no, the simpler ones are just easier to memorize. In the absence of memo there is flow charting which is even simpler.
>>737071897>>737071974There's a game called Nightmare in the Dark that matches the vibes.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=esTq3L5LR0U
>>737071974This looks great. I'll play it on my wii later, thanks anon.>>737071975>>737071764Do you guys think the prices for the new carts will also explode later? Shouldn't right if the console actually succeeds? I hope it does. I want this to set an example that people will buy high effort products.
>>737072352If it's a 2D action game or beatemup or whatever it's fun immediately. Simple as.
>>737072368>Do you guys think the prices for the new carts will also explode later?I assume it will, although probably not that fast. This'll probably be some sort of a semi-limited run, considering that it is still a niche premium retro repro product.
>>737071897There's an entire universe of retro action-platformers. Rygar, Faxanadu, Rastan, Cadash, Gods.
>>737072067?The whole point of arcade games is the pick-up-and-play philisophy. They can still be very deep but you can easily get immediate fun from them.
>>737072501Beat em ups are extremely rigorous memo, and not even varied memo. Like when you go into a beat em up thread, they aren't 1ccing those games, they have snk syndrome
>>737072576Those are generally slop compared to scoring oriented platformers like Psychic 5 and Solomon's Key.
>>737072252I don't care about your or their mentality, they're wrong.Art matters, figs are just plastic.
>>737072359looks cool. I like the skull chariot.>>737072586They can play like that, I'll just play normally.
>>737072652>Art matters>game title on the side of a box
All these years I was like "lol people who buy arcade cabinets for home use are dumb" but now I see. The ability to just jump in at a moment's notice, plus the cool aesthetics of it.
>>737072758The videogame is the art.
>>737072652Figs are art and you're a soulless person for not realizing that.
>>737072749If you're just mashing buttons it ain't playing
>>737072640Any game played for score is shit.
Why hasn't Sega done something like this for the Dreamcast yet? I just can't believe it.
>>737072809>power goes outoops. This is why manga is the best form of entertainment. >>737072825Playing normally isn't button mashing. I'm not here to autistically memorize every fucking enemy.
>>737072586Legacy knowledge goes a long way in bmups, playing any of them is practice for all of them generally. Obviously, some are more advanced, so it can be frustrating until you get the feel of the enemy behavior and learn all the actions you can take. They're still one of the most appealing genres imo, they have the appeal of fighting games and sometimes character action.
>>737072809I own perfect arcade recreations digitally with exclusive arrangement modes and global online replay storage for a fraction of the price, which one is better
>>737072869What do you you mean? You can just buy DC games on the used market. There's not even that many anyway and the arcade stuff is cheap as hell.
>>737072823Figfags are subhumans.The lowest of the bottom of the barrel.Get a print instead.>>737072890That is a completely different discussion.>becomes blindOops. Can't read manga.Stupid argument.
>>737072917>they have the appeal of fighting gamesBro what lmao
>>737072926They don't call it tranmaku for nothin'
>>737072953Not really. Media that requires no power is the most based and BTFOs everything else.
>>737072926>whichCompared to what?I don't even understand what you're talking about. Are you trying to be a smartass about emulating?Who said anything about emulation?Do what you want.
>>737072990I'd explain what I mean, but not with that condescending wigger attitude
did MBS have a neo geo as a kid
>>737072795No segasonic the hedgehog?
I have gas and my stomach hurts
>>737059842>1:1 replica of the original console from the 90s>$999 US Dollarsso they didn't replicate it at all then
>>737073048>Compared to what?What's better, a digital and permanent purchase, which is equivalent to the original arcade release in accuracy and input delay, which includes exclusive new modes, artwork, soundtracks, online replay storage and leaderboards, training features, etc. or a re-release of a console of arcade ports for $1000 which are functionally the same as emulating with runahead. I'd say we are not holding these companies to high enough standards, and this behavior leads to stagnation and collector fomo.
>>737073248>digital purchaseLoses immediately.
So I SHOULDN’T buy arcade games if I want to have fun? Is that what I’m being told?
>>737073248>permanent purchaseServices shut down, no games for you!
>>737073332Digital is better than physical in all cases. There is no benefit to having a plastic box I'll throw in my closet and forget about it.
>>737073210Yea, they actually made it cheaper, adjusted for inflation the neo geo was over $1500
>>737073402All video games after the 70's are digital. But only a fucking retard buys a DRM cucked digital "product"
>>737073379Buy from these guyshttps://youtu.be/42WsKxYCtvEThey actually give a shit and port limited edition boards no one has, make new modes, and new games.
>>737073210Indeed
>>737073379Depends, which games on which platforms? There's no reason not to emulate, especially since it sounds like you just stumbled out of a cave and have never seen an arcade game in real life.
>>737073248Both have their advantages. There's no best one. Both should coexist.I prefer physical but I also buy games digitally and emulate.I love to collect.
>>737073248>digital >permanent purchase,Pick one
>>737071897Embrace the Dreamcast library, it has a ton of arcade ports and arcade like games.
>>737073567Not only is this some tranmaku slop, it can't output the original analog signal to a CRT so it's shit.
>>737063742Or emulate easily on the cheapest ass PC.
>>737073693You'd have to be absolutely retarded to play an ancient console port of an arcade game when you can just... emulate the arcade game. This is like something I'd read on /vr/.
This is huge if it's actually a good recreation. Can someone more familiar with the original stock tell me how these controllers compare? The lack of a notch on the stick and overall glossy look seems pretty far off to my eye. Not sure how faithful the 8bitdo replicas but that at least felt good to use.
>>737073613Honestly, the basic version not including one game is a bitch move.
>>737073761He can look through the library and still play the arcade games on MAME or whatever. But the games on the Dreamcast will probably be of interest to him regardless.
>>737073490>every digital game has drm on itwrong
>>737073716Arcade cabs do not use the kind of CRTs you use at home, so it would be visually inaccurate anyways.
>>737073827Why even say the dreamcast, why not day Naomi, you know what you were suggesting lol
>>737073865Who says I don't own several arcade cabinets with original Wells Gardner monitors in them?
>>737073923Then there would be no reason to buy a neo geo instead of mvs.
>>737073915To be fair, some of the arcade ports like Power Stone 2 and Soul Calibur are actually best on Dreamcast though because they added content. The Capcom collection using the Arcade version of Power Stone 2 is fucking tragic.
>>737073810I assume it's mainly for those who already have a collection of AES carts or for those who don't care for the pack-in game (or the colour).
>>737073774I hope these are just art mockups. The CD pad button colors don't match up correctly with the new button label arrangement.
I'm honestly down for a collection of Metal Slug games but ported by M2. They're the masters of porting jobs who put more effort into their porting than everyone else. But also, you're also missing the point of re-manufacturing consoles and owning physical media. The feel of the Neo Geo arcade stick on your lap. Inserting the cartridges to play the games. Now, if you just want to play the games, emulating is the best option. It's free, and the emulation for Neo Geo is practically perfect. But there is something to be said about the feel of holding the cartridges and the arcade stick. At the very least, you should be able to agree that it preserves the image of the console. It reminds people what the consoles and their cartridges looked and feel like, even if it's not exactly 1:1.
>>737073379They're not designed to be owned.
>>737073248>a digital and permanent purchasePick one. The only real constant is piracy. Depending on how these Neo Geo repros are done they will outlast any digital storefront.
>>737071596There's not point in anything. We are all going to die.
>>737059842>8-9 games i can fucking emulate>asking price 1000 simoleonsLolLmaoPay the toll faggots. Ill be playing these for free
>>737074087>The feel of the Neo Geo arcade stick on your lapAnon, you can buy a better arcade stick than the crappy neo geo one
>>737074141brownest post on /v/rowns right now
>>737071278>says this bullshit and yet had a bobblehead of a badeball player and a dollLmao
>>737074256It doesn't count when it's deranged boomer garbage
>>737059842okay, but I could just download fbneo for free if I wanted to play 100 identical fighting games
>>737074176I know, I have a HORI Fighting Stick Alpha, and I use that when I play my games on MAME or FB Neo. I'm more talking about why someone would want a Neo Geo console, down to the games and the controllers, as shitty as they are admittedly.
>>737074247>brownest post on /v/rowns right now
>>737074297The neo geo console is just ports of arcade games, I genuinely don't understand
It has been a while since I had preorder FOMO but I'll just wait and see how well they pull it off. I doubt Ultimate Editions will be back in stock at that point thoughbait.
>>737074292>mario hanafuda cardsYou lost before you even typed.
>>737074357They're not ports
>>737074256thats some other dude. i like and would have figs if i had more room and the nice ones weren't so expensive. bert blyleven is based
>>737064936I had so much fun playing Twinkle star sprite (and bubble bobble) against my friend. Is the sequel worth it?
>>737074450Based
>>737074403Yes they are, they're arcade games reconfigured for home use, MVS to AES. Why do you think fbneo is called fb...neo
>>737074357You don't understand it because you don't value physical media, which is a fine stance BTW, I can respect that. As I've said before, for anyone looking to just play the games, emulation is your best option. The console is for those who like physical media. It's really just preference, even if the latter is more costly long term.
>>737060530>CrystalisI wanted to play this one. Is the NES or GBC version better?
>>737074508The carts contain identical data and chips and can be used on either arcade MVS setup or an a home AES console (with a converter).
>>737074593>Oh boy, finally some slop!
Looks like Big Tournament Golf/Neo Turf Masters is getting the NeoCD-exclusive Scotland course added to the AES+ version.
>>737059842should be like 699 tops, 799 for a slight profit
>ITT: Everyone knows more than (you) do about the right way to consume entertainment (there isn't one, everyone can do whatever the fuck they want with their time and money)I could emulate the fucking thing on my computer, phone, microwave or I could sit at the backseat of my car and play Metal Slug 2 in my mind all I want. I've been emulating for more than 20 years, when I was a kid I didn't have cash so I emulated everything.But now that I'm a grown ass adult with money, I want to sit on my couch, grab a real controller, slot a real cart in, power on the system and enjoy myself. You can keep seething about what other people do (it doesn't affect you in the slightest), that won't stop me from having a good time
>>737074668Are there plans for other countries to get it?
>>737074668Yeah. I kinda want to get it for that reason, even though I have an MVS cart.
>>737074718Just the console + 1 arcade stick is 250, 999 is the super deluxe pack with the console + 3 controllers + 10 games.
>>737074625I'm aware of that, however AES is tweaked and not backwards compatible and the bios is not modifiable. From a playing standpoint, and an arcade accuracy standpoint, MVS is far superior. AES is a collectors thing due to rarity, not quality.
Holy based, fuck collectors and fuck resellers.
>>737074872I guess. You can replace the BIOS chip in an AES (or MVS) and get that functionality home, however. In fact, it's something I really should do at some point.>not backwards compatiblePretty sure can run AES games on MVS if you wanted to. Harder than the other way around, though. And the carts contain both the arcade and home data, regardless whether it's an MVS or AES one.
>>737059842milk the uncs dry I say
>>737075060>Pretty sure can run AES games on MVS if you wanted toNo, you can't, and it was designed that way to stop arcade owners from using cheaper AES. But now, ironically, MVS is cheaper.
>>737059842its kino, but its $999 for metal slug
>>737064936>I would've also liked to see Sengoku 3 in there.I don't think Sengoku 3 was SNK first party. How they might do some of their third party stuff would be interesting to see. I'd like some Rage of the Dragons myself
>>737075217>but its $999 for metal slugIt's 999 for Metal Slug, nine other games, an extra control pad and a memory card, you Luddite whore.
>>737074668Interesting. Just last week someone hacked Scotland into the MVS/AES version, but it replaces the Australia course.
>>737075432>nine other gamesYeah can't wait to look at these multiplayer games on my shelf alone in my basement
>>737075504Does the gaming community really not have any real in person friends these days? That's so sad.
>>737075564You aren't getting sweaty in kof02 with your boyfriend, I'm sorry I don't believe that lol. I see the kinds of posts you guys make.
>>737075678One is the loneliest number
>>737074654:|
>>737075875This thread has been, quite frankly, eye opening, and now I see all the weird and sad snk spam on 4chan has been some sad boomer getting offended over the pile of games he has sitting on his shelf collecting dust not being universally praised.
>>737075195Sure, it would be very difficult due to a fun trick SNK did in addition to the different shape of the cartridges. But fundamentally they are 100% identical, as proven with anyone being able to play arcade carts on their home console with a converter. The MVS carts even have the home data on them and vice versa.
Worth the collector's pricetag if the controller isn't shit (which SNK has historically been fucking up repeatedly on every Neo-Geo branded nostalgia hardware release), and there really is no emulation (FPGA included) so shit plays exactly as it should.Getting any actual MVS hardware in working order costs an arm and a leg.
>>737076208You're missing the point, in that they are literal ports of arcade games, and there's no value in using inferior peripherals made for a console that is a collection of arcade games, instead of just using an arcade stick. There's nothing commendable about that. Like the first thing I would do upon receiving a neogeo controller would be to rip it apart and put my preferred stick in there.
>>737059842>$999Why? The components and games can't be that expensive to produce.
>>737076443BECAUSE ACTUALLY READ
>>737075217Buy it for $300 then, if you just want Metal Slug and a system to play it on.>>737076410I'm not missing anything. I like playing on period hardware, even if it is sometimes inferior to whaever else I have at hand. And if I wanted to use a better controller on AES I would just buy a converter that would make me be able to use my main stick on the thing. Maybe I will at some point.
>>737076507$250 is still too much for just the console. $90 games are also fucking insane.
>>737076532>period hardwareBut the arcade stick is period hardware, accurate to how the games were intended to be played
>>737076619>T Owns a Switch 2
>>737076716I don't remember implying it wasn't? The arcade stick(s) of the of the Japanese MVS cabinets are period accurate, the sticks in the European and American MVS cabinets (different by the way) are period accurate as well and so is the AES stick – and the CD pad (for a slightly later period).
>>737076894What would be the point of using a neogeo gamepad to play neo geo arcade games, that's a console concession, not accurate to how the games were intended to be played. It's not like the godly saturn pad or something
>>737076987>not accurate to how the games were intended to be playedHow exactly would you know? Did you call Oda and he said that they never considered how the games would play on the CD systems?
>>737059842>2002 over '98
>>737077125>How exactly would you know...Because they were originally released on arcade cabs and the intro to the games shows the controls via an illustration of an arcade cab button layout
>>737062209You actually believe that SaudiNK won't fuck it up? Every release like this has been shit. Remember that crappy handheld they made?This thing will be trash.
>>737077341They were also originally released on the AES and you could use the CD controller there. But the point is moot anyway. The CD pad addition to my earlier post was mostly just a cheeky addition. No need to be hyper focused on that one.
>>737072640Both mogged by the humble Lionheart

>>737071897Hell, I just want instant gaming back. Duck Tales on NES you'd go from powering the NES on to first-mission gameplay in under a second if you mash the Start button. No game in the last two decades allows for that.
>>737077767ok they're not dumb enough to do that, I'm just saying 98 is the better game
>>737077680LB2 is pretty broken, you can do an instant overhead into a tod from halfscreen....
I don't have to worry about buyer remorse if it's bad because they aren't shipping to Australia. Probably for the best, I don't want to imagine the shipping cost on this.
>>737072097Get a pirate multicart then.
>>737077579>why does he have long hairThe game is called Lionheart for a reason, you see.
Cool I guess but the games are way too fucking expensive.

>>737077458>No need to be hyper focused on that one.But it's important and retards here dont think about that stuff. The controller doesn't even have turbo, imagine mashing on that shitty gamepad. People don't really think about what period accurate means.
>>737077767'01 is the one I started with so I have a soft spot for it.
>>737059842>>>$999 US Dollars
>>737078390It's still an official SNK peripheral from the period the games were published and made specifically to play said games, whether or not it is an optimal or even (well-)though way to play these games. For some people it might be.To be honest, I'm not that fond of it, either, although the concept is interesting. Ironically I quite like the much tighter Neo-Geo Pocket implementation. When I travelled more and played fighting games with friends outside town I really wanted something like that.
>>737072283No it won't. All you gotta do is list it as RARE ORIGINAL PRINT and coomlector retards will flock to it.
>>737059842>$999 US DollarsUh, I'm good
>>737063467Should've had Windjammers instead of Over Top.
>>737078638>It's still an official SNK peripheral from the period the games were publishedSure, but arcade cabs from the period did have autofire, and the JHA accepts autofire. Like playing metal slug without that would suck ass. So there is a lot of reasons why this would be a de facto worse experience. For nearly a grand.
>$999 without a controller or any gamesPass

>>737078920I haven't played on that many MVS cabs. Can't remember any of the ones I played having autofire but sure, I could see that.My gamer autism generally doesn't allow myself to use one. It feels like cheating to me.>>737079030I get joy simply from using old tech that was used by me or other people to play the same games decades ago. That's just how I am. Been fiddling with my own childhood micro computer and someone else's recently and it's been great.
>>737077910beautiful game tho
>$999 and it doesn't even include the consolewho tf is buying this?
>>737078986Actually, with $999 you only get the memory card.
>>737076987>It's not like the godly saturn pad or somethingEclipsed by the 3D Pad and Arcade Sticks on its own system.
>>737079185but this isn't old tech per se. it's a nostalgia bait at premium price. collect old computers all you like, I can get that. why get these things?
>>737079185>My gamer autism generally doesn't allow myself to use oneWell the JHA disagrees, autofire enables higher skill play and higher scores, while causing less physical wear on the player.
>>737072283please nintendo do this with earthbound
>>737077962Heard those cost as much as 700€ while having issues of their own.
>>737079275I'm wasn't talking about this release. That said, I'm still mildly interesting in some of the games and the new consoles insides and specs, since it's supposed to use the same(-ish) tech as the old ones.>>737079284That's cool. I'm not the JHA though.
>>737059842>pay 1000 bucks for more plastic to take up space in your home or just emulate for free
>>737079389Not quite that expensive, usually. But they actually do have often issues with the home system, so you probably shouldn't buy one blind. They might have issues with the new release as well.
>>737059842>costs a glinkoyeah, get fucked
>>737059842>$250-350-1000 for the console variants>super safe initial line up with $90 per game because they're technically pure AES hardware compatible with old cartsThey're just preying on collectors with this shit.
>>737079274>Eclipsed by the 3D PadMy niggerNever tried out the virtua stick though, it looks nice
>>737072067Good arcade games with a reasonable difficulty curve don't start kicking your ass until 2 or 3 stages in.
>>737079392but it's not it. it's not. it's just a plastic box with a brand sticker on it. there's nothing throwing back you to it except being able to play the games, for which you have a multitude of options. I dont get it, I dug out this pic of emu arcade I played with month ago at an airport and that was enough fun waiting for the flight. I doubt it cost them $999.and yeah make fun of me for dying on first stage I felt bad as well
>>737079624Good arcade games have scoring to make the first 2 stages not boring
>>737079676>but it's not it. it's not. it's just a plastic box with a brand sticker onWhat are you even talking about? It's not what? And what's your obsession with plastic?And you don't need to "get" what I'm talking about. I don't get all fetishes either, which liking old hardware basically is.
>>737079774>scoringThat's several autism levels deeper than just 1ccs.
How good were those gamepad controllers with official licensing from a few years ago? I'm looking more for six button options but this is the second time they'll be making this sort of thing in recent history.
>>737079874No, trust me, the first time you try to learn a hard 1cc you're gunna be scoring the first 2 stages because you're gunna see them a lot. Doesn't have to be good score but you're gunna do it anyways.
>>737079815I don't get what's enticing with these retro console rereleases when that's solved by emulation already. These boxes even do that as well there's no old school magic in them. I call them plastic because it's nothing worthwhile spec wise, and just has its case marked "right" but they ask a premium price. As if that makes a difference.This isn't furniture or an oven it's a toy to play software and software is what matters.
It'll never make it to my country, but if it does, I'll buy it.The Neo Geo is legendary. Back in my childhood, when everyone was playing SNES or Mega Drive, people would say "Neo Geo" as if they were talking about the future—something out of reach.When someone was really rich, we'd say, "That guy must have a Neo Geo."
>>737080014According to the OP, it’s a recreation of the original hardware.A $10 pico board is enough to emulate the Neo Geo. If you want to build a "Neo Geo Mini", you won’t spend much more than $150, including the parts to make the arcade stick...
>>737080014Like I said above, my interest lies within the actual old tech. As to why I'm "mildly interested" in this new one is because the tech inside should be at least partially old-school, and I find it fascinating. And getting a reproduction of some of the games may be worthile because they actually should work on real old hardware and because some of the games cost a ton. Still, I'll hold my judgement on that too, since I'm not too interested in repros.
>>737072869I ordered a reproduction of dolphin blue ported to dreamcast. I’ll see how it is
>>737063467these wouldnt even pass as bargain bin Indie titles if released on Steam in the modern day
>>737059842For 1000 bucks I can get a full arcade cab, why would I get this shit instead?
>>737059842whats the point of these if emulation exists? never quite understood it. is it just a nice piece of plastic for manchildren to have as decor in their studio apartment?
>>737079624This. If you're not complete dogshit at video games, the "difficulty curve" of arcade games is greatly over-exaggerated.
>>737073761A lot of arcade ports on the dreamcast had better graphics and more content
>>737071897Pretty much any top-10 game on NES or Sega Genesis. SNES too if you ignore most adventure games.
>>737074301i look like this
>>737079913The 8bitdo ones were apparently identical to the original Neo Geo CD pads, which means they're fucking awful. There are some mods for the inner stick or the actuators themselves, but I haven't tested them to see if they make it feel any better.
>>737080309>reproduction of some of the games may be worthile because they actually should work on real old hardware and because some of the games cost a ton.I reread the OP and alright. My tangent was more from what we've learned from PS1 or Amiga repros. Personally I still can't imagine buying this, I've built my own "arcade" similar to one I've sent pic of but can't find one of it and ultimately I've spent more time putting it together than actually playing on it. Left it in dad's garage, cousins get some mileage out of it on holidays from what I heard.That's the thing with being nostalgic for old games, and this might of course be my experience, but there's a lot more time put in to getting it work over actually playing the damn games.
>999 dollars for just a memory cardliteral scam
>>737059842is this some collector shit i can scalp and resell or not? this is the only thing that matters
>>737080558The dreamcast has less memory and higher latency. Advantages like training mode are obviously irrelevant when emulation is of such high quality now. Even emulating the dreamcast via flycast has lower latency than original hardware. https://youtu.be/OJGXqyIx_r8Segatards are fucking nuts
>>737059842How reliable of a retailer is this place and do they have a good track record of replicating the advertised consoles they sale?
>>737080915The thing is, I don't really care about owning or building an arcade cab or anything like that. But fiddling and fixing the old shit are indeed some of the things I find enjoyable (and frustrating, at times).
>>737081069Then I didn't understand you at all. I apologize but hold my contempt for classic device rereleases anyway
>>737081069Also personally, I got that mileage out of me through Zachtronics games.
>>737078460>AHHHHHHHHAHAHA, I CAN'T BE BOTHERED TO TAKE 2 SECONDS TO LOOK UP THE $250 BASIC EDITION.>I'M A NIGGER, I'M TRANS!!! RESPECT ME!!
>>737081187I get it. I haven't give a rat's ass about any of the "mini" consoles and the like either. I do want to see the insides of this one, since they claim it to be quite different to them, however. But I'm not going to fork the cash myself.The peripherals being backwards compatible is great too in the sense that there will be more affordable options to be used along with the old systems. Old controllers and memory cards etc. continue to get worn out, lost, destroyed etc., slowly but surely Having alternative options is never bad, even though I don't want to personally rely on them.
>>737074141That is true for every console, retard.
>>737081631So it's a chance for you to "refresh" whatever you have. Ok cool, an outlier and definitely not something I bitch about.
>playing classic games on an LCDno thanks
>>737082158It has analog support for CRT tvs
>>737082158It will also work on a CRT.
>check /vr/Holy moly that board is dumb as hell now
>>737080483No snk super fan is good at arcade games
>>737082273Have you seen this thread?>why would someone want this? I don' get it
>>737082158why not
One thing I am worried about is the gamepad controller has the buttons in the wrong places like the mini trash one did.
>>737082368That's better than the newfaggots drudging up pics off knowyourmeme and praising it as the second coming of christ ignorantly. I don't think there's a single person on that board left that isn't a ginormously fake and repulsive faggot
did anyone tell nintendo that VC is whack because most will play Games Designed For CRT on other screens?
>>737073379>if I want to have fun?If you want to have fun, you play them. Buying them is optional, getting them used is kinda cringe unless you find a good offer, buying them new at reasonable price is great to show interest (assuming the port or rerelease is of quality)NeoGeo stuff, don't wait for the AES+ to release, just play them now on emulator either locally or with people over fightcade
>>737082559This IS huge. How many rereleases of original hardware have you seen? Digital and analog out. Completely compatible.Come on. I don't even care about arcade but this is great for people that do.
I'm not a big arcade guy but it seems pretty cool how they're releasing a basically near-authentic reproduction of the thing. Hopefully the build quality isn't shit when it comes out though. Imagine if Nintendo or Sega did something as based as this.
>>737083084If this was $199 original gameboy color hardware with gameboy first and second gen pokemon games at $60 each (same, case, instructions, cartridge, everything backwards compatible) people would be losing their fucking shit and saying this is the greatest thing ever
>>737071143There are 2D indie games that are pretty faithful to that style.>yeah, but why not lock them to old hardware like an idiot?Maybe because they aren't stupid.
>>737077867I like 02 fine but I thought 98 was one of the most popular. Maybe that's why they're saving it for later. Headline a second wave.
>>737083084They released an atari 2600+ and it doesn't work like an actual atari. Any homebrew or flashcart designed to directly interact with the original hardware doesn't work, because it is emulation.
>>737059842>Big Tournament GoldA King of Fighters game got cut for this
>>737084494Oh and sourcehttps://presse.plaion.com/The-Atari-2600Same exact company
>>737084494>>737084597ok, fair enough, but they never said at any point, that they were trying to replicate the chipsets, im sure they did said that one is emulation unlike the Neogeo.we have to wait until release to see if they can deliver... i do imagine its not gonna run multicarts, be it on purpose or just accidental.
>>737084557learn to read, its Neo TurfMasters Golf.
>>737063467>MS1 not 3 or X>>>>KOF 2002Rest is okay tho but list is ridiculous small.
>>737085028aaandd im the one who needs to read, indeed it says big tournament... but yeah its the same game.
>>737084984How is a no-name German company going to go from bad atari emulation to fabricating accurate neogeo hardware which is also somehow magically compatible with modern output? This makes no fucking sense lol
>>737059842This is awesome, I applaud the move, and hope the venture is successful. However I am perfectly happy with the $0 I spent on the emulator I already use.
>>737083810Nintendo bias is sickening
>>737063467>only 3 (three) fighting gamesWow I'm actually surprised at that. Good selection though, especially on Shock Troopers and Neo Turf Masters (physical owners of Neo Turf Masters must be on suicide watch now)
>>737085110i dont know. but we didnt even know this was gonna be even remotely a thing. so i'm gonna cut them some slack since this is the first system they claim its gonna be accurate. its not like i or 99.9% of the people in this thread is gonna buy it anyway. im from mexico, that thing with ONE game would cost me 8000$, and that would be if it wasnt gonna be bought via a scalper, which in my case, would be the only way to buy it since they dont ship to mexico.
>>737085187https://www.neostore.com/Metal-Slug-Japanese-AES-p/278.htmhow expensive is that game, i have my doubts is not even close to FUCKING THIS!
>>737085258Stop worrying about retro collecting fomo and just fire the games up in mame and 1cc em, you'll already be leagues ahead of the other retards in these threads.
>New AES exclusive sprite based KOF game
I can see them saving heavy hitters like KOF98 and the rest of the Metal Slugs to sell the later batches, and will also likely box them together with some shittier titles in 10-game limited collector box sets for each release wave.
>>737085648They sort of did this with the Neo Geo X. Remember that thing?
>>737070394>80€ for each game.No thanks. They are only worth $5 as a digital and maybe $15-20 maximum (per series package) as a physical.>but but muh collectability.Don't care.
Got the limited one since the memory card is "free" since you are basically paying for the game. Plus, I really want an AES Turf Masters and with Paypal I can recoup any fuck ups.
>>737085095I assume they might add more later and if not then I am gambling on an MVS to AES to work.
>>737085463XI reused sprites and people complained about it.You still can see kof 95 frames there.
>>737086636Yeah but that was 2005 back when people weren't so gay for retro throwbacks. Now's the time.
>>737085463Will it have a 2D rapist though?
Why would I spend a thousand dollars on this when I can emulate all of these games for free?
>>737074668Now I'm glad I did buy that. I know that course is hard as fuck but that makes it funner. Hope my order for the limited Metal Slug AES+ is going to be fulfilled.
>>737061213>backwards compatiblesurely there is a all-in-one pirate cartridge around these days, right?
>>737087935There are multiple
>>737059842>>$999 US Dollarsi mean i like it but with that price never ever gonna get this
>>737087935Neo SD Pro AES$669 plus tax, tip, and tariff.
>>737088241READ THE THREAD! Fucking christ.
>>737088290FIVE HUNDRED AND NINETY NINE US DOLLLARS!!!!!!!!
>>737088290shill harder and they might give you a bonus
It is actually fucking hilarious to see the amount of obvious paid shills in this thread. You anons are smart enough not to fall for this retarded bullshit, right?
>>737088416>NO DON'T LIKE VIDEO GAMES ON A VIDEO GAME BOARD
>>737088539If you do not see what I mean then you either need to read the thread or you are one of them.
>>737088539>Pretends there isn't like all sorts of shill farms active on 4chan.>NOO YOU MUST LOVE EVERY SINGLE NEW THING WE AIN'T SHILLS.>notices the connections.yeah sure you aren't shills when it stops being mentioned after 2 more weeks.
>>737059842>Neo Turf Masters>Twinkle Star Sprites>Shock TroopersAdd Top Hunter to the lineup and I'll give it a go.
>>737088416For me, I'm letting myself enjoy the consumerism because their website reminds me of store catalogs from the 90s. Naturally the only reason I would buy one now is to put it in the garage and hope it accrues value.
>>737059842yeah i'm not trusting them one bit after the neo geo gold x
>>737089128the Arcade Stick pro was pretty cool
>>737065082That’s for all the games and extra controllers
>>737089128Nah, this is the original system, not a modern one
I'll pass on the console and games (I've got a Superstation One so that should handle my CRT Neo Geo gaming needs just fine), but I'm absofuckingLUTELY copping an AES stick and CD pad since I recently made a USB adapter for NG controllers. Might go pimp white on the former since I already have an OG black AES stick.
>>737082545Yeah, I'll bet they use an analog stick again like the shitty mini version as well. Even the arcade stick could just be the shittier Neo Geo X variant.
I want to know if the controller will be PC compatible
>>737090697The listing for the CD repro pad explicitly states using microswitches. But the layout fuckup is a red flag already.
>>737090734It looks like it'll only work for AES/AES+/CD, with the USB-C port being just for charging.
>>737090697If they're already changing the layout of the buttons from the original then that thing is probably gonna be analog with switches.
>>737059842>fucking expensive>have to buy the cartridges>can't save statecomplete garbage
>>737091156The button are also way smaller than the original, in this render anyway. Here they look SNES sized, the originals are way bigger, closer to the Genesis 3 button controller.
>>737059842>store doesn't accept Discover...is that a red flag?
>>737091273>>can't save stateWuss needs a crunch, stick to emulating.
>>737091273>>can't save stateGit Gud >>737091294a red flag you have a shitty credit card
>>737059842I'm sort of interested in it, but the Saudis are wild for the $90 games and the fact the closest thing to an Everdrive is $699 is wild to me. It's not like it's really hard to play these games in modern collections or other means for much less, so I guess I'm not really the intended audience, which makes me question who is, since NEO GEO collectors likely have most of these games already and it's a bit of a hard market to break into with these prices for those not invested into it at this point.
>>737091294Just use Paypal? I did that because if this thing does have problems than advertised then I'll request a cancelation on my preorder and Paypal will handle any fucky wucky things if it comes down to it I assume. I see people saying "this will be a system on a chip and have epoxy to cover up the chip" so I do get concerned, but no one has seen the PCB and if they don't fulfill it properly then I'll, again, request a perorder cancellation.
>>737091534>Everdrive is $699Just get a multicart. They go for WAY cheaper and are basically prebaked flashes anyways. Everdrives are a rip.
>>737091481Blame my bank. I was on MasterCard until they recently switched.>>737091637Paypal isn't working for me either.
>>737091156>they fucked up the button order>but the color order is the same as it is on the original padEven the fucking Mini controllers (with the analog sticks) at least bothered to move the colors around correctly to their new placement.
>>737091734Weird, I used a Master Card through Paypal and it was fine.
>>737091694Is there only about 161 games on the system?
>>737091858Holy shit they REALLY don't want me using Discover. It's also rejecting PayPal, Google Pay, AND Venmo.
>>737092239I guess it might be due to Discover having some bitch fit regarding their payment system or maybe the transaction is flagged. I mean, SNK themselves advertised the product so I assume it is all legit. I did send an email to support though, in advance, asking what steps I would need to take if I wanted to cancel my pre-order later.
>>737092238Somewhere in that neighborhood. I suspect a few of these are really crappy hacks too. But you'll probably get most everything.
>>737093226fuck off bitch ass cris
>>737085258Use a proxy buyer/personal shopper. I order from jap stores all the time. All i do is send links of items i want, pay for them + proxy shipper commision and it arrives. I imagine these kind of companies exist in most countries
>>737090734Magic-NS adapter has a neo geo setting. ~$20
>>737091294I remember in the 90s you had to ask if any place took Discover. Was like a 30%-50% chance of being accepted
