>console goes up for pre-order>in 24 hours the pre-order numbers exceeded SNK's estimations for the year>they had to increase production of the console to meet the demandhttps://www.timeextension.com/news/2026/04/humbling-and-deeply-inspiring-neo-geoplus-production-forecasts-increased-after-overwhelming-responseWho the fuck is buying this thing? Explain yourselves.
What's the catch? It seems too good to be true
>>73759466240-50 year old gamers that always wanted one but couldn't afford it ever
$999 for the entire collection is an actual steal compared to secondhand EbayslopIt's now or never
Shitch 2 BTFO!
>>737594662can you actually play original neo geo games on it like with the atari 2600+?
Is SNK the ultimate nostalgia bait company?They haven't produced a single good game in decades and they are kept afloat just by their dying of old age fanbase.
>Falling for arab scamSadEmuCHADS keep winning
>"Oh boy, oh boy! Neo-Geo MVS nostalgia!">Loads up Metal Slug 2>Taps A for ten minutes, occasionally jumps>"... um, well the pixel art is really good">Taps A for five more minutes>heavy sigh>Pause menu>Exit Game>sits on the TV stand unused for two years
>>737594662>Who the fuck is buying this thing?uncs
>>737594662SNK return to console production when?Xbox is dead, so there's a slot open now.
>>737594662how many people buying this thing are just doing it so they can resell it in the future?
SNK fans are going to learn a harsh lesson again...
>>737594662Now sega will surely rerelease the Saturn and let me buy a brand new copy of Panzer Dragoon Saga, r-right? >sega>making good decisions Oh, right.
>>737595914Yep. No one is playing anything but metal slug or shock troopers for more than half an hour before turning it off. Just a display item for boomers
It’s good because it doesn’t connect to the internet. That might be important in a few years
>>737596962Have some hope, anon. It seems like the are trying to bring back their dead franchises.https://segauniverse.sega.jp/en/
SO does it come with 50 games or some such? whats included for this ludicrous price?
>>737600279No. The games are $90 each.
>>737595409Yes, it will take Neo Geo cartridges.
>>737600534lol fuck that shit. I can just play them all for free on my fucking phone. Why the fuck would i pay that for ancient tech when i can get the same gameplay for free and have been able to do so for over a decade?
>>737600889>on my fucking phoneIf you don’t realize what’s wrong with this statement then you were NGMI. You sicken me.
>>737601156How about a retroid chinkheld?A steamdeck do it for ya shill?Maybe you'd prefer A mister or raspberry pi?How about ANY FUCKING PC MADE IN THE LAST 20 FUCKING YEARS?A phone is just the weakest most common piece of shit that can run NEO GEO because frankly everyone can run that shit you bitch made shill faggot. Technically i bet you have about 3 thing around your dumbass right now that make this purchase fucking retardedBut sure selling ancient bullshit and 90 dollar games (the entire library you could fit on a 20 dollar micro SD) is a great decision.
>>737594662yup
>>737601156there's nothing wrong with it you retarded turd
>>737601612>phonefag emulator thirdie starts melting down when his subhuman gameplay habits get called outMany such cases.
I never knew much about the Neo-GeoIt's sort of insane to learn that it had comparable specs to a Sega Genesis but continued getting first party releases until 2004
Noboody wants a NEO GEO. If you wanted to play NEO GEO games youd download all of them in 10 mins tops and buy a decent fightstick and have all the authentic NEO GEO you want right fucking now for the cost of...the computer you already own plus a fightstick from amazon (and this would franly be a better experiance.Fuck you could just hook the fightstick to a phone and stream it to your TV for the "authentic couch experiance' but you don't do that because you don't actually give a shit.
I hate phoniggers so fucking much it's unreal
>>737602786>No retortI accept your concession
>>737602554Scalper here, expecting a 3x return on the first batch, 5x on the second batch and >10x return on the batch to be sold after 5 years
>>737603056Hope it works out for you. Anyone dumb enough for this scam deserves to be fleeced.
>>737603107How is this a scam? And don't say that emulation is free and an accurate replacement because it isn't. I'm not buying one of these fyi since I have a mister and happy with it.
>>737602981These licensed nostalgia widgets sellI have no idea why eitherI always wondered who was spending thousands on these abominations
>>737595914>loads up the game>press the buttons you're supposed to press>occasionally use the other game mechanics>close the gamereally? describing how ANY game is played is your argument against this?
>>737594662It's literally just the original console being reproduced with some modern conveniences. They even went so far as to have factories remake the original chips. So you're essentially getting the equivalent of a Game Boy being made with a backlit screen by Nintendo themselves with the original parts. They're also making official reproduction carts because the secondhand market was horrific on it as far as I understand.>>737602981People who are buying things like this want non-emulator experiences and to fund legitimate owners of the product rather than pirate it. That's the whole point. Some people also want to play their original cartridges.
>>737594662The marketing is gorgeous. I won't be spending, but the upshot is that this whole thing made me rethink continuing to sink money into digital gaming.
Its annoying that they don't have >SamSho V Perfect - Exa-Arcadia version if they're going to go through the trouble. As far as I know the version that's in the SamSho NeoGeo Collection is NOT the same one that is in Exa-Arcadia boards which have a lot of fixes and other shit including no censorship, all fatalities, all story modes etc. Is there even an emulated version of the Exa-Arcadia ROM dumped somewhere?
>>737603436God those screens look horrid
>>737603246>mistergood morning saar!
>>737596962Would this concept even work with cd based games? I can understand rereleasing cartidges but cds? I don't know
>>737594709Scalpers.
>>737607675Wouldn't it be the other way around? Printing CDs is easy as fuck, factories still shit out tens of millions of them a year
>>737607871That's what I mean. Who wants to buy a bunch of CDs in 2026? Cartridges have more of a retro appeal.
>>737594662Who? Resellers and people who will get these graded.
>>737602960It was 24 bits! That’s between 16 and 32 bits!
>>737608234>Who wants to buy a bunch of CDs in 2026?Have....you looked at eBay?
>>737603645Don’t bother explaining it, dude. Phonefag emulator zoomers will never get it. They weren’t there. They’ll never understand why people collect retro games or prefer original hardware. Gaming to them is just some disposable thing they need to consoom before moving on to something else. Most of them won’t even play retro games without a higher resolution, texture packs and save states. Make you wonder why they pretend to care about old games at all? Probably since they think it gives them gamer “clout” or whatever retarded shit zoomers value. They will literally brag about playing Pokemon Crystal on their phones and then get offended and confused when they’re assumed to be some underage, third world retard.
>>737594709Oil money?
>>73759466240 year old uncs like me who are entering their midlife crisis.
>>737596640100%.
>>737602554It's the WiiU. That system only had what, two good games? Rather have a NeoGeo system.
>>737595914Yeah these type of arcade games were only cool back in the early 2000's but the novelty wore off long agoI still remember setting up mame for the first time in like 2002 it felt like the coolest thing ever then I never touched it again.
>>737609446I thought midlife crisis was 50+?
>>737609768Maybe for normies, but you know where we at -- I'm a 40 y/o virgin.
>>737603056unironically kys you leech
Trailer for the three versions of the NeoGeo AES+. Might get the white one.https://youtu.be/U7J0whhwi0U?si=maCISuHFml2WgbZh
>>737609953I was just joking but that sucks, I hope you find happiness in life and meet your soulmate in the near future, anon.
>>737594709>What's the catch?There's only 10 games and they're not going to release any more. They're also ludicrously expensive.They're also being extremely quiet about things like features and video output....
>>737600889>phonelol
>Release is in four months and three weeks so it should be entering production soon.>No PCB of the AES or the game cartridges has been shown.>There’s no mention of which joystick the arcade stick uses, and no internal components are revealed.>There are no comparison tests against a real AES or MVS.>The price tag seems surprisingly low, all things considered.1:1 replica brehs, trust me. So many idiots are going to get burned hard.
>>737609768It can be in your 30s.
Interesting thing to note, there might be more wave of reprints of other NeoGeo games stated by Plaion website. Here's hoping they can somehow get Matrimelee. Will require to get approval from Atlus/Sega.
>>737595914This, I really do not understand retards who are into retro shit. I can't play these games without save states anymore, especially if it's Neo Geo shit where 90% of the games are bullshit ai rubber band reading input fighting games. I'll have more fun on my PC where I can rewind and load save states instead of dealing with fucking bullshit
>Who the fuck is buying this thing?I'm a millenial and I can imagine why people like me would buy a console that was reserved to the rich.Except that, I don't see why you wouldn't just use emulation.
>>737610287https://presse.plaion.com/SNK-and-PLAION-Announce-the-Return-of-the-King-The-NEOGEO-AES-Comes-Ho"Speaking of modern displays, the NEOGEO AES+ comes armed with discrete quality of life upgrades designed to appeal to a modern gaming audience without altering or compromising the console features so inherent to the original appeal. In addition to the regular AV out, built for CRT enthusiasts to enjoy, the new hardware comes complete with low-latency HDMI™ output finally allowing the games to be enjoyed in crystal clear HD, with resolutions of up to 1080p. On-screen BIOS and DIP Switches located on the bottom of the console allow for instant switching of territory language selection, overclocking the hardware or choosing different display modes, and the console now offers low power usage as well as permanently saving gamers’ High Score saves for each game.""Launching alongside the console, is a collection of ten classic NEOGEO games, with more releases expected to follow."
>>737610562>I'm a millenial and I can imagine why people like me would buy a console that was reserved to the rich.This is such a meme, if you had a disposable income back in the day. You had no problem affording a NEOGEO.
>>737610637I was 6 yo when it was realeased.
>>737610637And it was very expensive, just one game was as expensive as a nes or master system.
>>737610696Ding ding this is the thing most people into video games back then were just 6-12 year old who had to beg their parents.
>>737610696>he wasn't making 6 figures when he was 6 yoThat's when you knew you were forever LVM status
>>737610287>They're also being extremely quiet about things like features and video output....Isn't it like, a full replica? Would you not expect it to just have the features and output of the original?>>737610390Maaaaaaaaaaaaaan fuck you nigga. There's always some faggot shilling Matrimelee, and that shit suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks. Why it gotta be so fucking big too. Fucking gay ass game is a hundo megs. THAT'S BIGGER THAN MARVEL 2, BITCH. WHY YOU LIKE THIS?
>>737610146Thanks, bro. I believe in reincarnation, so I'll cope.
>>737594709It's a partnership between a loaded oil muslim, THQ North and former SNK Kenji Matsubara as well as the guys who reverse engineered the NEO-GEO for the "Mister" emulation platform.The first weave of paid pre-order took them by surprise because of the sheer volume of commands.They already announced a second weave of games reprint and job opening at affiliated SNK game studio are recruiting 2d artists for possible future original games.
>>737611794They could also just reuse assets of their games to make sequels and spin-offs. Would love a new King of the Monsters game even if it reuses assets of the first two games. Some new levels and characters should be enough.
>>737612007SNK could also hire small indies and small devs like G.Rev, Treasure, indieszero, Inti Creates and WayForward to make new games for the system.
>>737585086The homicide rate in russia is literally triple and even higher now due to returning combatants, you retarded faggot
>>737608982>same amount of bits as the game boy advance Yikes.
>>737608234lol, lmaoPS1, PS2, Gamecube game prices have all exploded. Saturn games cost thousands. The demand is huge and CDs are better than switch """"""cartridges"""""" which can die if you don't use them often enough.
>>737612319Sega won't ever do a Saturn version of this. They don't even do an emulated version of it. They hate the Saturn and to a lesser extent the Dreamcast.
>there will never be another luxury console with its own exclusive library
Imagine if it got neo games THOUGH.
>>737610450Look, fucking casual. Castrate yourself and leave /v/. You're fucking disgusting.
>>737612501Why do you say they hate the Saturn, one of their best consoles ever?
-
>>737614001Even the Sega Master gets more acknowledgement from them.
>>737613217Literally the best players also practice with save states lol, it’s ridiculous to ignore their benefit. Only casuals want the authentic experience for shmups and shoot ‘em ups that they’ll never ever clear or score on lol.
