The NEO GEO was wild as hell when I was a kid. The games were arcade perfect, but the damn thing cost an arm and a leg. $650 for the system (in the early 90's) and the games were anywhere from $200-500 each. I was friends with lots of other gamers back then, but I only knew one person who had a Neo Geo...and the dude only ever owned 2 games for it.

Fun fact... Almost all the games use the same roms for home and arcade; there's a flag in the bios and the games behave a bit differently at home. The game boards are a smidge different because they swizzled the pinouts. The arcade boards don't all have controller ports either (but many do; there were a couple games that needed a special mahjohng controller, and you'd need to hook that to the controller port)
 
I was skeptical at first but then I saw SNK was officially involved. My first thought this was just another vaporware product that a bunch of people are going to lose pre-order money on.

That ultimate edition is going to sell a bazillion units.
 
I also think it's really cool they are reproducing games. The one main issue I have with all these reproduction consoles is that the console isn't the hard to find part for many systems, it's the games at reasonable prices since collecting took off. That is if you don't want to go the rom cart path.
 
I wish it was the standard version of SS. Man, place as a kid had SS and MK1 machines right next to eachother. Many quarters dumped there.

the only place in our town(old school corner store) that had an MVS had it next to a SF2 and AVP cabs. iirc they had it loaded with SS, FF, super dodge ball and baseball stars. its now a real-estate office...
 
And before people complain about "new hardware" please remember that even "back in the day" console revisions had changes where some games may lose compatibility or certain features change or behave differently. I'm thinking Genesis audio between revisions and PSX graphics as examples.
 
Seems like a $150 console with a $400 nostalgia tax. Given the current state of emulators I'm surprised this is coming out.
 
This is tempting but I think I should probably be looking into MiSTer FPGA when I see these old console remakes. It would be nice to have, but I'd probably play it once.

My Mister is hooked up 95% of the time, I get it. But I do occasionally bust out the cartridges. But even with Mister you still have to deal with the same type of stuff you had with emulators regarding configurations, setting controller mappings, etc. Cartridge and OG hardware just works and that's also important.

Too bad AES cartridges are so damned expensive since they never made that many originally. The demand just wasn't there.
