NEO GEO X - New SNK Games Console

[Jammaniaclord]

Ok, i know we can emulate the neo geo systems on our psp's, DS's, and a slew of other asian market handhelds can emlulate as well, but...... It is the 3rd quarter of this year, and the X was supposed to be released 2nd quarter.

Whats the latest on this thing? The website has no new information.

I was sort of wondering this. Maybe they hit a delay.

[Tatsujin]

a hoax since day one.

[SNKNostalgia]

  I am beginning to wonder if it is a hoax all over again as well.

Most likely they are either having second thoughts on releasing it or they just hit a delay.

If it is released... this thing is going to flop so bad. How can they not see that?!?!

[Jammaniaclord]

I too had wondered if it was a hoax, but at the same time was interested in seeing the thing released, as wellllll as wondering why release it when there are so many other portables that emulate their games as well as other systems on one console. Seems like a waste, but the tech junkie in me would like to own a piece of new SNK hardware. I bought the NEO GEO pocket, and that was a waste, but i still have it in my collection.

You are insane.

I was going to write, "Go f*ck yourself" but I thought it was too rude.

I bought a NGPC bundle off of ebay back in March and it had 16 games and two pockets, plus link cable and ac adapter/case for $70. Only thing I hate is no backlighting lol.

NGPC, best portable ever.

This new Neo Geo handheld is NOT a new piece of SNK hardware, just as the Blaze SEGA consoles are not new pieces of SEGA hardware. They just pay a licensing fee to slap a brand name on their shitty mass produced junk (take a Blaze console apart if you don't believe me) and con people into buying them.

I think it's crap and overpriced and Blaze (the mod producing it) are not known for their high quality emulation. Plenty of better emulator based handhelds out there that are cheaper and emulate a wider variety of systems.

I think that was already proven when they first hinted at a 2012 release.

I think the PSP would like a word with you!   Actually, as much as I love my PSP, the Lynx, for whatever reason, is my top portable.  I know people hate it, but, the games are intruiging to me, even all the crappy one's.  Whatever the case, NGPC does indeed rock, & I'd love to have a backlight on it.  If this Neo Geo X thing comes out, I would appreciate NGPC support, if only for the backlight!

[storino03]

It would be memory card-based. There are capable emulators on android, where you can also use a wii mote. Haven't tried the wii mote function, but the emulator itself gets the job done.

Yes.

No

NGPC is ok, but a lack of games makes it roughly equivalent to an improved GBC.

No-one seems to have mentioned the GT/TE in this thread. Are we taking it as a given that it's the greatest portable of the age?

I thought it was the LT?

Yes, the PSP rocks. I don't understand people who prefer the DS (it has some good games, but it's nothing special and rather underpowered). I've sunk what must be 300-400 hours into Monster Freedom Unite and that alone makes it worth owning for me. Also, it's *still* region free (hello DSi) which means I can play Idolm@ster SP or whatever other quirky games still getting released overseas.
Screen on the first gen and slim is a bit rubbish tho, but I can live with that. Oh, and the speakers lose to those in the DS too - I don't know how they did that, but the DS speakers spits out some rather loud audio considering there's like...nowhere to place a speaker in there.

I've got well over 1000 hours on the various MH series on the PSP, and I still use it pretty much daily to watch recorded TV and films.  I have some vert fornd memories from the system, and I'd say it's the best money I've ever spent.  Hopefully the Vita proves itself as fun!

And as for the LT - touché!
