It is enthusiast pricing. Not mass market. Such is the way of the world. It looks like a good deal to me. Hell, I love KoF 95, Magician Lord, Cyber Lip, Last Resort, and Nam 75.
Looks very, very attractive.
Price is way, way too high...but it looks very good.
As much as 'd love so see SvC:MotM re-released on a console with more visibility, SNKP would probably need to work out some licensing deal with Capcom to distribute something with their IPs in it outside of the hardware it was originally released on.
I'd pay good money for that, as it's still the best crossover between both companies, but many people wouldn't be able to look past the small color count to make it profitable.
As much as I love SNK's stuff and am willing to throw money at them, I still want to know if it'll be possible to add more games to this - most of them I already have from older compilations on the PS2, and I draw the line at buying the same game(s) twice.
I don't think 3-Count Bout was in any of them though - it was nice when that game got a nod in KoF XIII's intro dialogue between Kensou and Raiden, through a mention of Red Dragon.
Clearly we are among the minority in this thread. I remember lusting after them for years as a child. Now, a portable with dock AND a controller? Provided the quality is there, I'm not balking at the price. It comes with 20 games! Has the iPhone so diluted the value of our preferred leisure activity? Yes. OK; granted, I get that, but this isn't being aimed at people who game to whittle away time while standing in line. It's aimed at the collectors, the people who were "kids" when the NeoGeo came out and could only dream about owning one, or the kids who were jealous when they knew that one "rich kid" with all the carts!I remember back in the day, at Babbages, when they sold Neo Geos for $600 and games were $200
Ah ah that was embarrassing.But for me.. yeah.. the Neo Geo and I go way back and sure I think the hardware looks sexy. I'm not the best to judge though, I'm a bit crazy about the Geo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdUopin4jvQ

We should have had a NGPC collection on the DS. But, no, that would require SNK do something other than whoring out the same selection of "classic" NeoGeo games over and over.
lolllllll @ that price tag. I'd buy if sub $100. I do like the look of everything though.

NeoGeo VC releases by region:Really? Last time I checked the schedule was quite underwhelming... Maybe US and Europe get different stuff at a different rate?
Btw, the only one I'd call 'active' is the japanese VC... Great games come out regularly and that's the closest thing to a proper comprehensive NG collection I've ever seen, other than looking at the real deal.
NeoGeo VC releases by region:
66 Japan (13 this year)
37 America (8 this year)
33 Europe (4 this year)
And NeoGeo Station (PSN):
16 Japan (0 this year)
16 America (0 this year)
16 Europe (1 this year)
No neo turf masters, no sale!
This is funny considering you can buy a working cabinet with a couple of games in it for around $200.
Wait, why on earth is that thing widescreen? I thought all the AES titles were 4:3.
Please tell me you're joking? You really can't see how bad that is? Samsung would agree it's a rip off.

far too expensive
It's pretty damn cheap by Neo Geo standards.
Except it's NOT a real NeoGeo.
It's an emulation device, and an irreverent one at that. The widescreen alone shows they didn't give a crap about details. And anyone actually expecting NeoGeo Pocket quality controls is kidding themselves.
This is not an SNK system. Just an overpriced piece of licensed junk.
But nobody has played it yet. Jumping the gun. All things point to a cheapy emu device but better to wait till december till folks get hands on. We know nothing about emulation quality, HDMI-out quality, or even build quality of the joystick (if it is Exar quality it will be more than serviceable). And SNK has done pretty well with their licences this gen with VC/PSN/iOS.
Oh, Blaze. The company that keeps releasing those portable Mega Drive's and Master System's with completely broken emulation. Great!
I'm not sure if he's jumping any gun.
Like the quote below, if this thing is made by BLAZE, we're off to a bad start.
This shit is shit, I tried it. The sound is just SO off key, its just shit...
For the price it better be damn perfect emulation or a bunch of people will be angry.
This is all so sad. Neo Geo Station ports are where it's at. I guess they were a bit expensive to develop.
IThis shit is shit, I tried the Genesis one. The sound is just SO off key, its just shit...

For Neo Geo standards, that's chump change.
