Neo Geo X Gold - $200 - freaking seriously?

This thing is looking basically perfect. It has a real click stick and its not locked to 16:9 like I feared.

3 - Emulation. Unlike Genny clones though, I don't really mind this, as the Neo is ridiculously easy to emulate accurately as long as the system has enough ram to handle the bigass carts.

The Wii and PS2 collections are not emulated properly. The video seems ever-so-slightly downscaled and results in some pretty funky artifacts when scrolling. 100% unacceptable to someone like me.

What is your display? I didn't notice any issues with the Wii VC releases.

[Joe Redifer]

I haven't tried the Virtual Console ones. I'm talking the disc-based ones. The display is irrelevant, the emulation is messed up and show you if I were to capture them which I don't want to do because moving the Wii is a pain in the ass with all of its danglies that need to come with it.

This thing looks great!

(Now I just have to try to find $200...)

If it somehow had RGB output, I'd be interested...

[SignOfZeta]

Because HDMI isn't clear enough.

[RGB_Gamer]

I would rather have RGB output than HDMI. RGB is best for an RGB capable monitor if you like the classic arcade feel...It is Neo Geo after all...

[Jibbajaba]

Because HDMI isn't clear enough.

Some of us don't have HDMI inputs on our gaming displays.  I play all of my games on an RGB monitor.

I understand that, but surely you guys must understand that you are a microscopically puny minority.

My analog RGB Neo setup consists of an actual Neo. If I'm that hung up about signal clarity I'm certainly not going to be running an emulator.

Hey, how bout that translated Samurai Shodown RPG?

LOL deuce will probably never finish it 

[ProfessorProfessorson]

Actually, its not. Its a emulator run on a handheld. It would be crazy to expect them to include a straight analog RGB function when their target audience is specifically using a HDMI capable LCD. It may be hard to swallow, but their target audience here is not going to be all the nostalgic old school die hard Neo owners of old. Most of the people buying this are going to be in their late teens to early 20's. New fans who are trying to get a taste of what things were like for the original Neo fan base prior. Mainly the same folks who bought the PS2 and Wii compilations, etc, but now want to feel leet and have some bragging rights of their own.

How much are the games going to be on SD cards?  I know the neogeox comes with an sd of 20 or so games, and 1 sd of ninja masters for the people pre-ordering.   I never checked on how much games are going to cost though.

Nobody knows. If I were them I'd get that lined up before the launch. This thing is likely to be cracked instantly. If people are pirating ROMs day one they probably won't give a shit what gets released officially later given that there likely to be totally original versions.
