Support NeoGAF

[acm2000]

this thing is clearly fake or really bad mock up design

so many broken things about it, from the iphone 4 cut and paste, select/menu button, to the l1,l2,r1,r2 ordering on the buttons

 

[Dark Octave]

I want this! I want this! I want this!

 

[Wolfe]

I'm loving this thing and can't wait for more info, I still have my old Neo Geo Pocket Color but the thing crapped out on me and I can't figure out what is wrong with it

 

[Dave Long]

April 1 already?! WTF?!!?!?!??!

Microswitched buttons and joypad please?!

 

[Princess Skittles]

This thing looks more and more fake each time I look at it.

Look at the VOL text on this. Seriously? Who is believing this is real?

 

[SmokedMeat]

Put both the Last Blades on this and it will be bought.
oh - and Shock Troopers 2, and Pulstar etc.. etc...

Yeah, and every preordered unit will come with a Ferrari. Best get a PSP if you want to play those on a handheld.

 

[LiK]

HOLY SHIT WANT. Where's MOTM?

this.

Shut it down!

 

[Dark Octave]

I'd be more excited if it was 20 NGPC games. :/

You can get basically all those Neo games on PS2/PSP/Wii collections, PSN or Virtual Console already.

Yeah but I pull this out at work and it's an iPhone, possibly used for anything, work related or otherwise. I pull out a PSP on the job and I'm fucking off, no question.

Sad if it isn't real.

 

[depward]

Fake or not, this got me thinking:

Why haven't we seen motherfucking WINDJAMMERS in ANY of the NEOGEO collections?!?!

That game is the tits.

 

[krakov]

Awesome, a portable Neo Geo with 4 useless buttons and a 16:9 screen. Can we please also get a NES-emulator with dual analog sticks, built in Kinect and a 2.35:1 aspect ratio screen.

It's probably a 3:2 screen since it's just a copy and paste of the iPhone with shit pasted over it.

It could be they just shopped the labels on to a prototype. Wouldn't be the first product that did that.

 

[Taco_Human]

I'd want it if it was real. I'm sure it's not immune to homebrew.

The rights belong to Paon, who are some kind of shadow developer now. I don't think they do classic game comps.

So what is the internal storage and SD card slot for? To stick illegally obtained ROMs on? No officially licensed product will offer that functionality (cue someone pointing out one of those Atari Flashbacks that does just that).

There are a lot of strange things going on with this. The only thing that gives it credibility is the (subjectively) terrible list of pre-installed games.

 

[thetrin]

I would totally buy that. I'm hopelessly in love with everything SNK.

 

[Dacvak]

Wait... Why is this widescreen?

 

[Bjoern the Smexy]

Okay, fuck.

I want this to be real. Like, seriously.

 

[gutterboy44]

Cool idea but awful mock up or completely fake. So many things wrong with these pics.

 

[Barkley's Justice]

[LiK]

for the pretty wallpaper borders

 

[Metal-Geo]

Does this have it? That stick looks a lot like the Caanoo one.

Nope. Caanoo's stick is analog.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

People seem to be confused, all that has happened is a HK manufacturer of these handheld emulators has licenced the SNK and NEO GEO names to slap on to their products.

Same deal as SEGA have with Atgames.

 

[Azure Dream]

Widescreen = It probably plays videos too. Especially if it takes content from an SD card.

The Gopher, a similar Sega Genesis handheld that's supposedly officially-licensed?

Great minds?

My guess is that it's much like those trash Genesis TV plug-ins/portables you find at Toys R Us. They're cheaply made by Chinese companies but licensed by Sega. I would definitely say that this is not actual hardware from SNK Playmore.. or whatever they're called this week (if they're even still in business this week.. only to reopen next).

Yeah, but that one's ugly.

 

[vMaxx]

Totally fake! Look at the L1, L2, R1, R2 buttons...L1 matches R2 and R1 matches L2...

 

[Azure Dream]

Great minds?

You just said "No officially-licensed product would have that," now you're going back to "it's just a licensed product in name."

I don't think most people here expected this to be actual SNK hardware. The buttons on the outer shell will probably feel cheap, the screen a bit crap, the stick won't be what we hoped for, of course. But they still created a product many of us here "didn't know we needed," as it were, and nailed the general look and design. If it ends up having a decent screen, good controls, and can play back the games without choking, then they've really nailed their target market with the design and concept.

Presuming this is real of course.
And if it's not, it should be.

 

[Dacvak]

Totally fake! Look at the L1, L2, R1, R2 buttons...L1 matches R2 and R1 matches L2...

Whoa, that's strange. How does someone make a mistake like that?

 

[Dark Octave]

Wow...damn...

Amazing to go through all that trouble just to do something that boneheaded.

 

[gunstarhero]

I dont know why, but I'm buying this.

 

[froliq]

Meh, wait for redesign!

 

[Herbspiceguy]

Sorta want.
Would've been insta buy if it had a new Cardfighter's Clash (with online).

 

[Luigi87]

Meh, wait for redesign!

 

[Lyte Edge]

No reason to believe this is fake...Andriasang is a trustworthy source. Anoop knows what's up.

 

[notsol337]

Well, Wario64 did post it, and he has a license to troll...

 

[ctrayne]

Saved.

 

[mattp]

this has to be fake/unlicensed
what are the shoulder buttons for?
why is it widescreen?

im not gonna get excited about this til we get details

 

[kikonawa]

would pay 59 for this

 

[Cipherr]

16:9 screen and

The L1 and R1 buttons being photoshopped on in the wrong places does this in. Im sorry, but cmon guys

 

[Cdammen]

Jesus fuck! BOUGHT!

(EDIT) Fuck...

 

[Princess Skittles]

The text on the AV OUT is weird too.

And if this thing is the size of an iPhone, the headphone and A/V plugs are way too small.

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

I hope this is true and is a real product. Of course I think it is a knockoff machine/bootleg.

I hope for the 50-75 range.

 

[Captain Tuttle]

This feels fake

 

[Lonely1]

This thing looks more and more fake each time I look at it.

Look at the VOL text on this. Seriously? Who is believing this is real?

Is clearly a pre-production render. Those are standard in the industry.

 

[CornBurrito]

Will wait for the inevitable redesign with two sticks.

The newest Atari Flashback was listed with a SD card slot at some retailer, but it's not true.

This thing does have a slot though:
