I have some high hopes for this thing. I hope the quality is good and not some 3rd party crap.

The pre-order extra game thing is making me mad.  I don't want to spend $200 on crap, but there is no way to know if it is crap until there are some reviews out.  However, if I wait until reviews are out, then I miss out on the free game.  THE HUMANITY!!!!!

Ninja Masters isn't that great, and like I said, it will be hacked pretty much instantly.

That being the case...I'm still not sure if I should pre-order this. I really really hate half-assed emulation.

Seems as though a 4:3 screen is availible. Still a better deal than either an AES or MVS for people who've yearned but never had the chance to play SNK games. Add a 2nd controler and hell yeah... the wife and I can get in on some SS2 throwdown!

Looks as though you can expand on the 20 (or 21) games that come with the system, also. Looking good on my part (as I don't own ether home consoles). Again... win-win!

You say "looks like" as if you've read new info. Do you have a link?
My bad, I misread the article... seems as though the handheld has a 4.3" screen.

I'd like to know which BIOS will be emulated. AES gives you a very limited number of continues on a lot of games. MVS with free play enabled is better.

That's a minor issue, but yeah, some games in AES mode are nigh unbeatable.

I have two questions about this system:

1 - Can this play TEH ROMZ illegally downloaded from the internet?

2 - Is the video out limited to composite or does it have s-video? (EDIT: I see it has HDMI out. It is protected or can I record it?)

OK I lied, I have more questions:

3 - Is this emulation or a NGOAC?  How accurate is this to the real systems?

1 - Don't know yet! The Genesis clones that the company makes will let you use roms, although that's not officially stated. The Ninja Master's card is on a "secured" SD card. If it doesn't allow the use of roms, I'm sure this security will be broken in short order so it won't matter.

2 - It has composite video, or HDMI at 480p. I'm hoping that I will be able to hook it to a HDMI to component converter that they sell at Monoprice to use it in 480i on a SDTV, but nobody's going to know if that works until someone (probably me) tries it. I seriously doubt it's protected, but you never know.

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.

I love Ninja Masters!  That pic also looks pretty slick!  

I also see this probably not selling all that well.  I hope it does though.  If it doesn't sell well these will probably go for quite a bit down the road.

I so want one of these.  I'm so excited that when Christmas time rolls around, I can actually give an amazon.com link to my parents or wife for something awesomely retro!   :dance:

And if it doesn't show up under the tree, I'll just buy one.  :D  The pre-order pack-in doesn't hold any nostalgic value for me.  The included fighters (and others) are the ones I remember playing in arcades back in the day.
