Have you pre-ordered your Neo Geo AES Plus yet?
How much is it? Does it come with the games or do you have to buy those too?
Can you buy the arcade stick separately? I only want that, not the console
>>737096676$90 each plus tips
$1000?! Why?
>>737096768It's crazy.
are they out of their fucking minds with that pricing
Don't need to, already have a MiSTer.
>>737096947Have you seen where retro prices have been at for the last 5 years?
>>737096768>bit rots your cartridge in 20 years time
>>737096947The neo geo was always stupid expensive, in all fairness.
>>737096768They should sell this for $30 as furniture.
Why the fuck would you ever buy a Neo Geo in this day and age>hurr but Metal SlugThat shit is everywhere>muh accuracyGo fucking pirate the arcade or home release then>but I want the consoleThen go buy a fucking actual Neo Geo>but expensiveShut up, nigger. You'd pay for this shit.
>>737096612
>350$lmao wtf
If you think $350 is ridiculous, go price check a boxed AES and legit Metal Slug these days. Insane.
>>737098796Anon, this company makes emulation boxes, not true recreations of original hardware. This is for ripping off retarded snkeks
>>737098907This is not emulation
The funny thing about this, is that all of the games on this are made by companies SNK killed>Metal SlugMade by Nazica, now defunct>GarouMade by SNK, now dimps>KOF2002Made by Eolith, now defunct>Twinkle Star SpritesMade by ADK, now defunct>Neo Turf MastersMade by Nazica, now defunct>Samsho VSPMade by formerly Yuki enterprises, formerly examu, now team arcana>Over TopMade by ADK, now defunct>PulstarMade by Aicom, now defunct>Magician LordMade by Alpha Denshi, now defunct>Shock TroopersMade by Saurus, now defunctIn fact only one of these is a true snk game, and the people who made it are long gone.
>>737096676$250 by itself, $350 with Metal Slug and maybe one other thing, I dunno, and $1000 for several games and a memory card with the machine. It's supposed to be a wholesale rebuild/replacement for the original AES. But looking at that controller it looks absolutely off, smaller buttons, wrong layout and colors, looks cheap as shit despite the claims of microswitches. They say this thing is using genuine engineering recreations of the old Neo Geo hardware, but I highly doubt they actually did that.It looks like one gigantic overpriced collector's scam unless you're already highly invested into Neo Geo hardware and the cartridges.
>>737096612FPGA thingy or just a regular emulation console?>>737098796probably fpga for that price
>>737099778Going off their previous releases, emulation console
>>737099841Man. That is pretty expensive, unless it can run ps2 emulator (if sideloaded)
>>737099870Well given that the company doing it is German, not Japanese, that should already be tossing up massive red flags. But idiots will fall for it anyways

>>737096612just buy that type of controller and use that shit with an emulator
>>737096612Is it just an emulation box, or is it FPGA?Does it at least output native 4K for better scaling?
>>737101269They can't even get their $60 controllers right, they Fisher Price'd that shit. The Mini controllers from a couple years ago are probably higher quality than this thing despite being cheaper.>>7371013781080p output, they claim it's real hardware, no emulation, no FPGA, but a random German company perfectly recreating the AES is a bit suspicious.
i'm thinking this is gonna look GREAT on the shelf in my GameRoom
>>737101107Magician Lord was the game you got with the original Neo Geo, it makes sense.
>>737096947It's very cheap, retard.A Switch 2 is over 400 dollars and you get no games.
>>737098214>Then go buy a fucking actual Neo GeoThis is an actual Neo Geo.>>737098907Actual retard.
>>737102028kickstarter board game looking ass
>>737099778>>737099841It's orginal hardware, retards. Everything is compatible with the original stuff, even the wireless controllers.
Only metal slug 1?No X? No patched version of 2 like on the collection?No buy
>>737100540>>737100650Isn't KOF 2002 the one with K9999, the guy that couldn't appear in later games because of Akira copyright infringement?
>>737102592that was the prior one, 2001. but he only lasted these two, Neowave as unusable, and a mobile game, with cameos from other titles in the early 00s before he got wiped.
>>737102538>Everything is compatible with the original stuff, even the wireless controllersDoesn't prove that this is an original hardware, might be an emulator with a cartridge slot for all I know. If you don't have a source to back up your claims then you're the retard here, fag.
>>737102976>https://plaionreplai.com/products/neogeo-aes>Gameplay on the NEOGEO AES+ is not achieved through emulation - instead the console is powered by its legacy ASIC chips, re-engineered by modern standards to accurately replicate the original machine's hardware and software. The system natively plays game software from both new and old game cartridges for the most authentic retro gaming experience. Not emulation, not FPGA approximation, but true console reincarnation etched back into siliconRetard.
>>737101107Absolute retard taste
>>737103143Is this going to crash the original hardware market?
>>737096612There is no fucking way there's a nostalgia market for the fucking neo geo of all things. Isn't this thing one of the most infamous flop consoles of all time?
I wish NEC was as dedicated and made a new PC-98.
>>737096947350 aud is cheap, must be even cheaper in usd
>>737096768Are you fucking kidding me, holy fuck this shit is retarded.
>>737104315There is a huge market for Neo Geo hardware because of how prohibitively expensive it is.The only reason it flopped in the first place was because it was exorbitantly costly.If you like arcade games then Neo Geo is a pretty big deal.
>>737104315You underestimate nostalgiafags and collectors.
>>737096612It looks nice but all those games suck ass.
>>737104404Ironically probably cheaper than actually buying the individual carts and this will drop their value for the insane collectors. And the only flash cart solution for Neo Geo is already twice the cost of the new console by itself. NG prices are fucking retarded, it made sense because it was literal arcade hardware in your house back at the time but nowadays it's genuine nonsense.
>>737104572not wrong but I don't want to play any of these games lol
>>737103164KOF is shit bro
Was thinking of picking up the neo geo collections on switch. 10games for $40.or would the actual console be more worth it
>>737104614How will collectors justify paying 40.000$ for a new 1996 copy vs a new 2026 copy for 90$?How can the Neo Geo market survive after this.Please someone explain to me.I mean there is no trick the contents of both are the same right?The box,the artwork,the cartridge and game, and the manual, there is no trap it's the same game.
>>737104919collectors are retarded so who cares
>>737104839>$40>$1000idk which is better value
>>737104919And I say this as someone who has bought retro new games because I like physical but if you offer me for example Power Stone 2 for the Dreamcast new but the 2000 release at 250$ vs the exact same game but made in 2026 for 60$ i wouldnt even think about it and buy the new 2026 release.
>>737104839Worth would be pirating everythingIf you choose to spend money it's for collection purposes, in which case the actual console is a nicer piece of decoration
>>737104614I mean repros have always existed, this isn't any different.
>>737105068found the collector lol
>>737105091I don't own a NeoGeo and I buy a combination of repros, flashcarts and originals for the consoles I own. Didn't find a counterargument in your reply tho.
>>737105157I wasn't arguing about anything in the first place you dumbass anime faggot
>>737104745fuck you faggot
>>737105191So you're just shitting yourself in public just for the love of the game? Carry on then.
>>737105224you are mentally ill
>>737105251
>>737104139It will probably go down significantly but it will still be more expensive. It's still collectable.
>>737101107>KOF02>okaybetter than 98, but the gap isn't big.
>>737101269It would be hilarious charging that much for emulation.
>>737104404The retard is you.
>>737101269The NeoGeo controllers aren't very good, you have much better options these days. The appeal is that you are playing a Neo Geo AES(+) on a Neo Geo controller.
>>737105839wrong, anyone that likes neogeo is a retard
Poorfag coping pisses me off.>wtf why would anyone want to buy videogames on the videogame board?By all means do your thing and emulate if that's what you want but if you don't understand why people buy videogames you're a sub 60 IQ subhuman monkey.>collectors are stupidIT'S THE FUCKING HOBBY THE BOARD IS ABOUT MOUTHBREATHER
>>737105901Moving the goalpost.
>>737106048What is the goalpost in the first place you dumb faggotI swear you kids just want to argue for no reason
>>737106104The information you first replied to was only about pricing. Then you focused on the qualities of the neo geo fans.
>>737106164You need to take a break from this place man.
>>737106203It won't change a thing. I can't stand illogical people in real life either, they anger me.
>>737104614>>737096768>>737096612What is the best game on offer? Why are fucking golf and metal slug so expensive?>>737104919The cartridges work with the old hardware so yes, it's legit. The prices will crash apocalyptically hard lol
>>737096808They've priced it so that the $1k bundle gives you approx. $550 value in hardware and $900 in games, if purchased individually, so it's the games they're charging out the ass for.
>"$80 games are too expensive">snk:
>>737108058We have been paying 80 euros for over 20 years here in Europe.
>>737106015Feel free to burn your money if you want, no one's gonna stop you. 99.9% of humanity don't give a damn what you wanna do with your cash. Just hope you're happy with the expenditure and aren't simply mouthing off with zero interest in putting your money where your mouth is.
>>737104315Different markets then and now. Just the fact that they're reproducing retro hardware with authentic cartridges is something rare. Although if I was going to buy anything other than the white edition as a collector's item, I'd wait and see if what they say about not using emulation is true.
>components weaker and less complex than a budget smartphone from 15 years ago>that'll be $300, goythis meme needs to end.
>>737096612I thought about it, but no matter what, with tax / shipping / likely tariffs, it'll be $400+ just to get the system and play a game or just buy a system and get a multicart at the going rates, so I think I'll just look into getting a rompack and loading them on my Analouge Pocket since it's likely all FPGA anyways at this point.If the games weren't $90 and had a better selection, I'd be more interested, but the games they have are almost always in one of those collection packs they've been repackaging for 20+ years since at least the PS2 and Wii.
>>737096768Garbage selection. The neo geo is shit.
>>737101446>SNK fighting games: the console>4 button pad
>>737109069We're not talking about what we can or can't do, we're talking about discourse on this godforsaken board. It's the fucking videogame board, I'm tired of constantly seeing the same low iq posts about how people are stupid for buying videogames.I don't mean specific games or consoles that might be shit, which is obviously fair game, I mean games and consoles in general.
>>737096768cheap considering the price of the official cards right now.
>>737102592Yes, but his exclusion has nothing to do with copyright infringement, if it was, then a lot of other characters would be exclused too(just look at Benimaru).They removed him because SNK just simply hated the character.
Getting actual new chips and everything for old hardware like this ain't easy so i still kinda doubt they really went all the way with this. Maybe the ASIC chips are real but that doesn't mean they also got the YAMAHA sound and everything.Will wait for a teardown/showcase before i make an order.SEGA pulled some bullshit like this in the past as well by re-using old NOMAD chips for "new" Megadrive/Genesis hardware which had its issues.
>>737098214>Then go buy a fucking actual Neo GeoWho's crazy enough to buy 30-year-old consoles to actually use them? If it's just to put them on a shelf like those fags usually do, fine, but if you're actually going to use them, you're wasting money on something where 50% of the components have already passed their useful life.The other day I was watching a video of one of these suckers on YouTube. He has about 30 old consoles, 5 of which are in line for repair. He said he's already at the point where it takes him two months to find the parts to fix a console, and by the time he finally finishes the job, two other consoles start showing problems.
>>737099953Yes it is retard. nand chips on cartridges can and will lose their data just like Hard drives and SSDs will. Only optical media will last for a century+
>>737096612Cool stick but I got all the Metal Slug games for like $10 years ago.
>>737104745That whole list is the opinions of someone who doesn't play a single video game, it's so immediately easy to tell. Every single one of those opinions is retarded.
>>737106015Every discussion ever about buying an old game will have these retards polluting the whole thing. It never changes.>ermm I know how to emulate so my (free) alternative is superior because i'm smart and you are dumb and there's no reason to buy anythig because i say soNo fucking shit you retarded braindead zoomoid, everyone knows how to emulate, I've been emulating since i found fucking goomba color online 24 years ago. I've emulated all this shit 1000 times. I want to own the physical media because I like it.>pèople want to buy the things they likeWTF?? I can't fucking BELIEVE this is a thing, somebody explain it to me
>>737110219It's obviously NOT a Neo Geo, the technology changed over the years, the people working at the factories aren't the same.
>>737110646>all that effort with the set, makeup, filters, outfit, pose>dont brush out that disgusting cancer moledont get it
>>737106015>collecting re-re-releaseslmao you fucking faggotyou could buy a consolized MVS which actually has original hardware for half of this, it would still be more original than this shit
>>737106015Viscant would cave your head in for defending this stupid shit
Imagine being the last guy who dropped 5 figures on Metal Slug then this happens.
>>737096768>2002what the fuck are you doing
>>737104614aes hoarders on suicide watch
>>737104404the Chinese bootlegs of the same games are $250-$600 for "convert" cartridges, $90 for a game that can be plugged into an original AES is a bargain in comparison.
>>737114914Those items probably take months to sell. They're fishing for whales.
>>737115294The usual argument for these is that just because $90 is cheaper than the competition doesn't mean it's good value. As in there is no such thing as a game worth more than $60 regardless of its resale value.
>>737104315The Neo Geo home console was originally meant to be a rental exclusive for arcade game fans, they only started selling the things due to higher than expected demand. Even then, it was never meant to compete with the SNES/Genesis.The arcade system with mostly the same hardware was a massive hit worldwide though.
>>737115801it has to do with the cost of producing a cartridge inflating the price significantly, even in 1990 money the games used to be $200+ minimum brand new from SNK, these are not some basic cartridge and are effective two entire circuit boards stuffed into a cartridge the size of a dinner plate.if these were digital or on a cheaper medium like CD then the cost would be significantly less which is why digital collections of some of these games are as cheap as $10to be compatible with the original AES there is only so much cost cutting they could possibly do.
>>737096612No, because it's a scam
>>737116151Why would you post that without double checking the email address? Plaion isn't a new company either.
>>737116108My point being that unless you consider physical video games an investment the actual contents of the cartridge and the "authentic retro feel" doesn't justify buying a $90 video game from 20+ years ago. Doubly so when emulation is perfect and accurate.
>>737096612Who the hell is paying $90 for an arcade game you can beat in 20 minutesEven if you 1cc metal slug you can practice and accomplish that in like 15 hours topsI'm not one of those "dollar per hour" type guys but that just seems like a really bad value proposition, this can only be for rich collectors who don't care about playing the games as much as owning a thing
>>737116578it is more of a novelty than anything else or for people who already own an AES and games, i got a Japanese unit and about 5 games myself.having an original style arcade stick feels like a minimum if your going the lame emulation route which are $150+ for an old as shit one.
>>737100540For AES collectards it makes sense to do MS1, because that game is easily $10,000+ for an original unlike X/3 which are only a couple grand
>>737117073>having an original style arcade stick feels like a minimum if your going the lame emulation route which are $150+ for an old as shit oneWhy? What's wrong with the 8bitdo Arcade Stick? It's fully microswitched and will cost you 80€.
>>737117459it seems close enough to be decent, i would agree with you that seems like it would be good, wont quite feel right but good.
>>737117785Well how much are you willing to pay for that feel? This is Neo Geo so the real hardware and games will cost you, in total, atleast a decent used car’s worth. Assuming this new repro is decent you’re looking at a system that’s already $150 more as expensive as a third party arcade stick+emulation. Then add $90 for every single game.
>>737116582If the game is good enough you'll keep coming back. I have over 150 hours on Radiant Silvergun, which is about 45-an hour. Or Giga Wing 2 on my dreamcast which is a 25 minute game that I have probably 300 hours in over the years. I'll come back to them and play them for a few weeks every now and then.Granted there aren't many neo geo games I'd go that deep for, aside from the Aero Fighters games but I just play those on mame.
>>737116108Don't forget that back in those early days, you were paying for the additional memory the carts had in them much like nowadays we're paying for RAM and storage in PCs at the moment. With how things have come along over the years, these would be more affordable and likely marked up at a premium to make people feel it's a premium product due to the NEOGEO legacy they're trying to buy into.The fact that there are multicarts being pumped out in China with every game and variation for nearly the same price as a single game is proof enough that they're playing people for fools with this re-release.
>>737118436i have an AES, two original sticks, the bean original stick, the gamepad, memory card, and five of the cheaper games with the only more expensive one being KoF '99.i also have a Neo Geo CD, Neo Geo CDZ, and Neo Geo Pocket Color each with 10-20 games each.at this point the AES+ is more of a supplemental option.
>>737098796>price check emulator and a rom>free
no vga/scart no buy
>king of fighters 2002What?
>>737118904it says it have the original AV output for CRT, vga you can just use hdmi->vga adapter since those have no lag
>>737119040what about it? they probably just picked it due to being expensive, sure people argue which KoF is better with i think '98 being the more popular one? not sure exactly.or did you mean it is newer than expected? the Neo Geo got games from 1990-2004 so it had a fairly long run.
It seems like the only other console Plaion made was the Atari 7800+. It's an emulation console but was decent from what I can gather.
>>737119040It would be funny if it implemented the Ultimate Match stuff like how they are implementing a new golf course into the AES version of Neo Turf Masters that was only available in the NeoGeo CD version.>>737119256On paper everything about this seems very good, but I worry about a catch later. At least SNK themselves are advertising this as well, so it isn't a "we don't know these people" situation. It is interesting how these games are allegedly able to play on an original AES, so it can't be a "it is just a large USB rom" type thing.
>>737119565>but I worry about a catch laterto be honest same, but they will probably release some more information on it soon enoughThe console itself is probably very cheap to make, it's the games prices that seems impossible at the moment. But well it probably isn't impacted by the memory prices madness we're going through anyway
>>737120098True. I did email them last night about what steps to takento cancel a pre-order if I need to later but haven't heard back yet. However, I did paypal and saw I can request a refund through them so I have some safety net.
>>737104315Everyone played its games at the arcade, so yes, there's plenty of nostalgia. The console version is literally the arcade hardware, and it was always meant to be a luxury device.
>>737100540MS1 is one of, if not THE most expensive AES game so far, almost impossible to even see. It makes perfect sense for them to push it as the flagship, as they are saying with this move 'hey collectors, you wont have to deal with scalper shit anymore, we can give you the game you are looking for for a reasonable price.'
I am tempted to pre order the ultimate, however the sticking point for me:>no mention of built-in CRT shaders/filtersSo if you're playing it on a big modern TV it'll look like shit. If you have a big old CRT then great, otherwise I think I'll just stick with emulation.
>>737106945Some of the contents might be different. Neo Turf Masters is adding the Scotland course which was only on the CD version and Shock Troopers was never released on the AES before. Also might be using NAND Flash vs EPROM.
>>737121245I think EPROMs would be better since those can be changed out if needed while the NAND Flash may degrade faster more overtime. Plus, since these carts do work with original AES, I'm more inclined to think EPROMs might be used. I'd love it if masked ROMS are used.
>>737096612>>737101446Yeah, I'm wary they might be half assing the controllers. They got the order/colours of the NGCD pad wrong already. SNK have done a threefer badging their name on shitty third party Neo Geo consoles (Neo Geo X, Mini and MVSX).Will be interested to see a teardown of all the components.
>>737122745>They got the order/colours of the NGCD pad wrong alreadyIt's the opposite, instead of copying the neo-cd layout, they use the actual arcade layout so that the games are more playable
>>737096612I can already play all those games on my switch
>>737099540Wait a second magician lord sucks, I regret the not that much money I paid for it on switch, who wants to spend big bucks on it.

>>737124036funny your post reeks of the same
>>737123150A lot of snk games are not good. Like the people who made VSP went on to make a lot of cool games on their own. Last Blade 2 was developed in-house by snk, and it's a horrendous unplayable kusoge. A lot of SNK is like that. It's all "remember that spritework from that game you didn't play? Please buy our low effort branding while we milk our dead IPs to death for 20 years" And while the art is good, it's not like they're the best. Gunbird 2 mogs the fuck out of anything SNK has ever done and there are plenty of other games i could say the same for.
>>737096612>Sang???

>>737125314lol what? That's way less animated and it doesn't look even half as cool, AND the fight itself looks 100x less cool. Art design isn't just sprites. Go ahead and lost that fight, and tell me it doesn't look like boring slop by comparison. That's visual, that's art.
>>737125502nta, I dunno man, both look cool but the metal slug one looks more impressive to me.

>>737125748I didn't say it didn't, just that they "cheat" a bit by using 3D renders, Metal Slug started doing the same from 6 and ownards and looks much worse.>Like this is kind of just... boring slip, you don't look at it and feel excitement. That mostly comes from the bullet spam, cuz a lot of the game is very static otherwise.And sure the bosses do move around a fair bit, but Metal Slug ends up putting more fine details here and there, hell the sprite of the character just simply standing still has a lot of subtle detail and smooth sub-pixel animation.
>>737124450Last Blade 2 is kinoge actually, only comp trannies care about balance.
>>737126560>That mostly comes from the bullet spamBullet trajectory design isn't easy. It's incredibly math heavy to program actually, and its an art just like drawing with pixels is. Gameplay is aesthetic and you shouldn't spend years reposting a gif of one of the most boring fights in an metal slug game. If the fight is boring, that's an aesthetic failure.
>>737126428people who don't buy things lose their mind when others can.

>>737126714I see, so the animation is the best because there's bullets everywhere that form pretty little patterns and not because of the actual animation quality, got it.
>>737127197It's the best because the robot actually does choreographed sentai poses while vomited instant death everywhere instead of being a looped walking animation.

>>737096612>Have you preordered your Neo Geo AES Plus yet?Yes, ultimate edition with the gamer shelf. This is pure unc slop but trust me zooms when you’re old and have the money you won’t think twice about buying whatever Five Nights At Freddys or Fortnite nostalgia bait they’re selling in 2050 because it will remind you of simpler times

When did they change Neo Turf Masters name?
>>737096612>V special>re-releasing the bugged, unfinished version Why can't they simply port the exA-Arcadia Perfect?
>>737127747When you get older you realize all the crap you collected doesn't matter, and grow sickened by the nostalgia for soulless branding. Like when I see dudes soifacing over star wars and shit I feel kinda sick dude
>>737125210>All games listed have girl main characterYep, tranny
>>737128229That is the good version with the good meta
>>737128210Probably has to do with the Masters golf tournament and trademarks. It's been re-released as BTG multiple times, like on the Switch e-shop iirc.
>>737125986Your brother sounds pretty chill and actually plays video games. Shame you're the let down of the family.

>Doesn't support MVS carts>Doesn't even come with an MVS to AES converterWhat's the point? I can get an actual MVS board modded to work on modern TVs for much cheaper
>>737109507thank you for confirming you have never played a single neo geo game in your entire life
>>737133048Superguns don't work with gcomp and gscart its worthless to me.
>>737133048We don't know if they either do or don't support a MVS to AES convertor either. Some indie neogeo dev seems to know someone involved with the AES+ and it alludes to it probably working.
>>737125497I agree that he is wrong, but he's not far off. Red Earth did have some notable use of pre-rendered sprites. Some are less obvious than others.>>737133290Then buy an upscaler? You can get a good one for less than $100 nowadays.
>>737133407I'm a little surprised to not see a converter in the set now that it's mentioned
>>737132065The buttons look weirdly small in that render and they're in the Mini order. My guess is their a reskin of that but with a microswitched stick this time.
>>737133770Ah poor CPS3.
>>737133048does it matter when it will get its own series of repro games and doesn't look like a chinese garage hackjob?
>>737102028updooted
>>737096612white looks so much better than black
>>737134778The white/gray does look slick. A lot of people seem to hate it. It will likely age into an ugly off-white, though.
>>7370966121000 dollar emulator lmfaoI already bought an MVS cabinet i don't use because Groovymame/Retroarch + a CRT Television makes all hardware redundant.
>>737136367>emulator
>>737096612I doubt this will be real hardware, so... FPGA? Or just some emulator shit like the mini consoles that were so popular a few years ago?
>>737137143It's real
>>737126646What puts it so far ahead of SSVS?
>>737137210Technically the ASIC chips are also a form of FPGA. Now. If they are skilled enough to make ASIC chips that can flawlessly replicate the systems inner workings then it can still be the replacement that was needed to kill the scalper scene.But all we can do is wait.
>>737134237Yes because I promise you not every neo geo game worth owning will be in their little repro sereis and you can buy ones that don't look like hackjobs
>>737096612>300 fucking eurosjesus christ. did the company fry too many employees and need to pay for damages?
>>737109440Unbelievably dogshit post.
>>737115801If you want good value you just buy rom collections or emulate the same roms for free you dingus. This is for plastic collecting manchildren that want the gigantic fuck-off carts and cases.
>>737138454Hard to tell without more detail. Could be all the components shrunk down to a single SoC like TecToy's MD and MS clones for all we know.
>>737096612Is this a scam? The prices seem too good to be true.
>>737141214SNK is owned by Saudi oil barons, so it's possible.
Saudi Crown Prince probably wants a NeoGeo low-power SoC so he can have a portable AES.
I can get NEO GEO games on my SONY PLAYSTATION FIVE and I have an arcade stick. Its nice and yeah I'd want one but for £799.99 idk. 16k RAM tho. https://plaionreplai.com/en-gb/products/neogeo-aes-ultimate-edition
>>737138454I don't think you can kill the scalping scene. If people want to still e-peen "the original release" of a game or a system, they can. This tends to happen with every item rereleased ever, the 90s originals will probably keep increasing in price because they have the pedigree of being the originals for any one that's truly a diehard fan that NEEDS those releases in particular, moreso with a new one increasing the interest in the product. It's likely that old ones will keep circulating between the same group of people while they inflate the price boucing off each other as time goes.But pretty much nobody outsife ot the scalping circlejerk will give a flying fuck about them, now that the average joe can get metal slug 1 for msrp and flip the bird to the retards asking for 25k bucks a pop.
We only Neo for niggers in America
>>737141728>SEGA-Nomad-like NeoGeo brick with massive AES cartsThat'd be funny

>>737128330rent free
>>737128330>this is a girlok
AES was always a joke when you could buy an MVS for a tenth of the price
>>737096612How do you play roms on this thing? Is there a flashcart?
>>737144780If you're okay with this shit, sure.The consolized MVS prices on Ali have gone way up.

>>737146349If this was nintendo they'd be throwing a parade
So this is basically a MiSTER costing a fortune for the aesthetic. Also I have to say >Samurai Shodown V SPECIALFor fuck's sake they can't even do >SamSho V PERFECTafter it was discovered recently? Holy shit what a ripoff.
>>737146116I have two 1 slot MV-1s and a dipswitch modded 138 in 1 + a fatal fury I converted to windjammers. But honestly if I really wanted to play MVS I'd just play something on the mister.
>>737096612let me guess, it's a raspberry pi in a fancy case and every game costs a hefty premium?>>737096768lol, lmao even
>>737146768It's allegedly a hardware recreation using new production ASIC chips which is pretty crazy.
>>737146349My favorite character: Resident Evil.>>737146413Like they did for Byleth, right?
>>737146945Huh. Impressive if that's the case. Still not worth the asking price but at least it's not as shameless as demanding money for emulation.
>$120 for the arcade stickman I really want one but that's too highYou can buy almost all of the nintendo switch online controllers for that
Cool reproduction carts, yoI can't wait to see just what they're doing under the hood of the console itself now, since it sounds like FPGA but they SWEAR it isn't.
I bought two, unironically
>>737149461T b h man, if you're in the US, there's no shortage of fightstick enclosures and old arcade sticks for sale.Shunt a Seimitsu LS-32 or LS-40 and *PS-14-G buttons into an old MadCatz TE, Mayflash F500, 8bitdo Stick or similar and you'd basically get a mostly authentic Japanese MVS cab experience.*SNK's cabs used Omron XW6Z-0011 buttons but the PS-14-G is the most similar cheapish alternative.
Why the fuck did they pick Magician Lord over an Art of Fighting, Last Blade, or Fatal Fury Game?
>>737151620I thought that one was weird until I remembered that was the original pack-in game along with Nam 1975 iirc. It's also platformer representation in a spread that was clearly trying to represent a lot of genres. So it has some significance. Also, they already have MotW for Fatal Fury. I would have preferred Special or one of the Last Bouts myself but I get it.The really weird part to me is choosing Over Top over Neo Drift Out as the token racing game.
>>737151620>>737151998I imagine they're gonna want to spread the big games out a bit. Maybe use heavy hitters to carry box sets.
Why can't Capcom do something like this for their CPS generations?
I'm glad that its looking to be an actual recreation of the hardware instead of emulation or whatever, but at the same time not having any usb controller support is...an interesting decision. I suppose it would be too much to ask for an SNK-USB adapter either...
>>737152307Have you SEEN the size of CPS2 boards?
>>737152307Because the CPS doesn't have an actual home console. That was kind of what the AES's big shtick was. They've done arcade sticks that have the games built in through emulation but I don't know how they'd do CPS
>>737138454>>737150330>FPGA HDL design for the ASICSo FPGA implementation in fixed hardware form from the sounds of it>>737152356There's a BlueRetro BT receiver for the Neo Geo
>>737146445>animations fucked up or pulled>extremely unfun changes like overheads not knocking down any more, and Mina being elevated from low tier to SSS tier, more or less making the game unplayableWhy are snk fans so goddamn dumb
>>737152589I already know getting modern controllers to work on a neo geo is a solved problem, I just think it's strange that there isn't one included here...because y'know, it's a solved problem.
>>737152589Honestly, I'm kind of interested in picking one of these up, especially now that it's on Amazon now. It seems the White version is the better bang for buck since it has the $90 Metal Slug as well as a $35 memory card included from what I understand? These systems won't really have any resell value at the end of the day, right? So it doesn't really matter what color one buys?On that note, the memory card pages on Amazon say they have 16GB of storage on them, but are they like old Dreamcast VMUs / PS1 memory cards where there's a hard limit of what you can store on them? I was thinking of nabbing a multicart to toy with and not sure if I wanted to buy an extra memory card or not since they do sell them for the white system for $35 as well it seems.Last question, but is the dpad controller worth it? I see they're selling the systems with like arcade sticks but have a more traditional controller only in black as an option for around $60.
>>737153442amazon will put up the sticks later. When? IDK
I just want you all to know Twinkle Star Sprites is based and fun pilled.
>>737153892I see they have the links to the arcade sticks up, just not for sale at this point in time.Whitehttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GXCHJNMN?Blackhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GXCPQ87W?This is the controller I was asking about, since it's a more traditional one for home consoleshttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GXCM5R3H?I'm thinking of getting one of the consoles and a multicart and maybe the regular controller so in the rare chance I have guests over, I can entertain them with like Metal Slug 3 or something, or >>737154358 recommendation of Twinkle Star Sprites as I've heard great things about it over the years.
>>737153442What is there to even store other than scores? I've played many NG games and can't remember a single one with a save function
>>737154947I don't know, to be honest. I also seen that Amazon is advertising the memory cards wrong, as they're only 16k in size but Amazon defaults to 16GB on the store info section. I'm not really sure how much space the saves would take up, and since I never messed with Neo Geo stuff myself before, I'm not really sure if any games have saves or unlockables, just saving scores.
>>737153442>>737154819The original Neo Geo CD pad uses a sliding digital stick held by springs that pushes into microswitches for each direction, and the new one is alleged to use a similar thing on their website (assuming they don't fuck it up like the Mini), so it depends how tolerant you are to that sort of thing.Admittedly I've never used an OEM Neo CD controller before but I love the 6-button PS2 version. Feels smooth but slightly tactile if that makes sense.
I wonder if it wouldn't be cheaper to produce a NGCD that just has a better disc read speed. Probably wouldn't be as appealing.
Gaming isn't dead, it's undead. The platforms and consoles that already died are coming back to life as immortalized zombies who keep making the same mistakes that killed them in the first place.
>>737155083the average Memcard can save data of up to 17-22 games at a time.some action games actually let you save your progress between stages so you could continue another day if needed as the overall NG cab had slots for the cards, and supposedly, you could even use your saves in both the arcade and the AES. but as you can imagine, only japan managed to tke advantage of that.
>>737154819>recommendation of Twinkle Star Sprites as I've heard great things about it over the yearsjoin us on fightcade anon!
>>737155145I just learnt about the Neo Geo CD thanks to this post and from the way you describe the controller, it sounds like it'll be pretty good to use, so I'll probably toss it on my list at this time as I'm going to likely do a payment plan with no interest on my Amazon card for six months to pay it all off.I'm just raging a bit internally since this looks more appealing the more I'm looking at it and somehow it's cheaper to buy a brand new Neo Geo with hardware and games in 2026 than it is to buy a new Commodore 64, which my autism latched onto last year as something I didn't need but wanted.>>737155650That's neat, and I heard about using your own card in the arcades and bringing them home, since it was used for a few games I read about over the years. For $35 though, I think I'll just stick to a single card at this time unless there's a high density one that was made by the community over the years that isn't advertised on Amazon.>>737155794I never heard of this until now, but it seems things have come a loooooooonnnnnnng way from using Hamachi to link up and play with other players online like I was doing in the mid to late 00s.
>>737096808What the fuck you can get a Steam Deck and Switch 2 for that
>>737150330Already proven fakehttps://forums.atariage.com/topic/223548-the-official-neo-geo-thread/page/641/#comment-4108437
Since Amazon isn't charging tariffs and shipping, I went ahead and ordered the anniversary version with the Neo Geo CD controller thanks to anons, and now I shall live like a Saudi King and own a Neo Geo!I'm hoping they expand the selection of games later on, since I've only really played Metal Slug 3 before and some older stuff back around 94 like a game with yoyos for a beat em up and I think some game with leaf people in a Los Vegas arcade many moons ago, as well as some game like Contra with branching paths or something like that?>>737156226You can get a cheap emulation device or even an Analog Pocket and have the whole library on like an 8GB or larger to take it on the go instead of paying for what's basically reproductions

>>737152597It also added a fuckload of other stuff including full stories for everyone etc >animations fucked up or pulled>other balance changes The animations being pulled and the censored stuff (including both blood and the decapitation, maiming etc..overkill etc) were fixed, at very least on the true EXA-Arcadia version, apparently. Likewise some balance changes were made but I don't have the full list. This does remind me to check iif the version of Perfect that's included in the>Samurai Shodown NeoGeo Collectionwas ever officially updated to include all the fixes and updates of the exA-Arcadia version or if someone managed to rip a copy of the ROM.
The Neo Geo was spoken of like some kind of mythical creature. I finally saw one in EB at a fancy mall we were at for some reason. The games were $200 each. Nobody believed me when I told the tale
