If only it was an actual AES that took AES carts and had standard controller plug-ins...

I think they already made something like that...its called the AES.

Just buy the neo geo comp for ps2 or Xbox. $20. Done.

And don't forget to buy a PS2 or Xbox and a joystick and a Dingoo or whatever for portable use.

You really want to play crappy games on the go?

Yes, the Neo Geo is renowned for how shitty its games are. That's why it only lasted 14 years and why they could only get $200-360 per cart.

...wtf...

Yes, apparently others liked it.  But they dont quite pass the test of time.  This unit is definately ambitious and even holds a bit of 90s charm with the bulky dock and joystick. But really, SNK couldnt get out of thier own way in the first place and this thing has such a limited audience it just seems like a waste. From a business perspective.

... yeah, that's why they keep selling those compilation discs and downloadable titles... 'cause nobody likes 'em and nobody buys 'em.  :roll:

Even though Tommo is making this I still find it crazy that this is nowhere to be found on SNK Playmore's webpage.  Haha I guess SNK really is that lazy.  :lol:

I still love them though.

Are you serious, or are you just shitting around? I ask because to me SNKs arcade titles from this period are some of the best games in existence. I still like Super Baseball 2020 more than any sports game made, and I like League Bowling so much that even though I have the MVS cart I bought the PSN version just to get the multiplayer. I can't imagine how someone on a Turbo forum wouldn't like Neo Geo. They tend to be the same audience, and if anything I would say that SNK games age better than Turbo stuff. The Neo probably has the best quality-to-crap ratio of any system in history.

The reason the stick is "bulky" isn't for nostalgia, it's because that's how your supposed to play these games.

As far as this thing goes from a business perspective, yes, SNK is not Nintendo. What's your point?

The real question is what is the more anticipated console release, Neo Geo X or Wii U?

I honestly don't know which one I want more for Christmas...
