So not only the console is gonna be cheap (compared to the originals) but its gonna be as authentic as humanely possible. if what they claim is true then they just gave an inhumane hit to the entire NG hardware scene.

The $999 is for the ultimate version with console, two sticks, gamepad, 10 games, and a rack to hold all your gaems
There are cheaper options like standalone console which I think is $250 or thereabouts

>>737062728
Because nostalgia baiting consoles are essentially retard money vacuums. Things like the Evercade, the Atari console reprints, and the "classic" systems from Nintendo and Sony are entirely to get money from nostalgiafags who want an "official" emulation machine.
At least with this Neo Geo thing it's an actual honest to God reprint of the machine with them manufacturing brand new original chips so it's legitimately a new printing of the original console justifying its existence.
>>
>>
>>737059842
I truly wonder how they even funded this. Is oil money that magical?
This isn't even FPGA. They're literally resurrecting hardware that hasn't been produced in ages.
A shame it's coming out November since that means 0 chance for a Black Friday special this year. If you slash the prices in half it becomes really fucking tempting, which I suspect might be their goal if they keep producing these.

They're CLAIMING it's not an FPGA. Same way Analogue says their console isn't emulation, when in fact it is, albeit on a hardware level rather an software. I'd wait for a review, and then judge it from there. Considering SNK's history of fucking up their re-releases of their consoles, I'd hold on to purchasing the console.

Lmao, for that money I can eat the "not original hardware" penalty, and build an actual pie based arcade cabinet. Jesus Christ. It doesn't even come with all NEOGEO games, which would easily be doable, just 10 titles.

ACA definitely covers all the mainstream Neo Geo lineup, just missing the rarer stuff

Anon, most of these games are made for multiplayer, why wouldn't you play them on fightcade? Even metal slug is 10x better co-op. And wtf do you mean on original controllers, these are ports of arcade games, meant to be played on an arcade stick, not a neogeo controller. Functionally the neogeo is pretty close to arcade, but the controllers are not.

The neogeo cd is still the same base hardware as the neogeo, but adapted to play the cds.
The cds have the exact same data as the carts, but they also can contain cd audio.
It is still the same experience, but with loading times. And at least more affordable than the AES... But less games too unfortunately.

Its honestly an amazing deal considering how much the pieces are individually, the fact that the console plays old games, plays new ones, the controllers are compatible with the old system, has hdmi and crt, and the games are $90 each.
Its the same console from the ground up. if you want an original, they start at $400 and go up. You dont know if the old systems will break, or if the plastic quality will be good, etc.
Hell, Twinkle Star Sprites just sold for $170 on ebay. You can get it from this set (and play it on old systems) for $90.
This is a good deal, son.

The problem with the retro scene is that people will hype up games not because they are good, but because they have a pile of pcbs rotting in a bank vault and their retirement hinges on those things holding value. And once a month there's some new fomo hardware for all of them to pile onto. Not a single retro collector plays games. They're worse than the people buying the latest AAA slop.

This honestly pretty fucking good. The claim that everything is basically based on original hardware architecture with the same type of chips sounds pretty fucking wild. I'll probably wait for people to open up theirs to see if it's actual real hardware.
Same for games, although I might buy Twinkle Start Sprites and Big Tournament Golf / Neo Turf Masters, since everything should be compatible with original hardware. As for the console itself, overclocking might be interesting for the titles with slowdown, if it's properly implemented.

>Is anyone supposed to be impressed by some faggot playing with his fellow troons over the internet
Ironically a lot of what I play is popular in korea.(it's ironic because I am constantly harassed by zoomer koreans) Retards here used to tell me for years VSP is not a popular game, and lo and behold it's the first game in the box. Similiarly, this is why I have attachments to things like ddsom and psyiko games, because they are popular in Korea. When I was on fightcade, these were the games they'd suggest I play, so now that I am done with fighting games I am playing those games in earnest. Because I played with lots of Koreans, and east asia in general. Capiche? No one has ever given a shit about these games in the west beyond gaudy sprite art and coomer pictures. You aren't an OG for playing neogeo games, that's not a flex. No one owned that when they were a kid.

To me 2002 was always a modernized 98 with awful presentation and a combo extention mode I didn't care for. Good game for sure, but I quite prefer '98 for both mechanics and characters, even if I do like most of the NESTS saga characters as well. In fact, I'd rather play '99 and '00 instead of '02, even if especially the former is pretty darn janky.

>>737071367
The games not only are physical, the makers claim that they will be compatible with the original AES hardware down from the get go.
So if you have an AES already, you can just buy the new Metal Slug cart, and say fuck you to scalpers who want to charge 100000 for that game alone for example. Theres a reason why they are promoting that game as the flagship and is the one bundled in the anniversary bundle.

>>737071387
Figs are not the real thing. They represent something else, like a videogame, a manga, an anime etc.
I like those, I don't give a shit about figs. Figs are for posers. It's like going to a convention for cosplayers. Bitch I want the games and the anime, not fake, derivative shit.
If you like them because "they look nice", then get a fucking good quality print of your favourite anime/videogame instead.

If i were to bet, it must be because in reality, there werent many carts made overall.
The AES was an expensive deal already, an INVESTMENT, only bought by rich kids or businesses like motels or such that needed to put consoles for rent. So i imagine manufacturing AES carts wasnt enough priority. Even if it is a game like MS.

I assume there might be that much (in circulation), actually: not only is it an extremely popular series (when it comes to the system, at least; but traditionally very known and liked here on /v/ as well) but SNK bought out the developer soon after the release of the first Metal Slug, so it might be that they never printed more of the carts after the buyover. The print runs for some of the AES carts were very limited, and very few people seem to be willing to let go of their copies.

I assume it will, although probably not that fast. This'll probably be some sort of a semi-limited run, considering that it is still a niche premium retro repro product.

Legacy knowledge goes a long way in bmups, playing any of them is practice for all of them generally. Obviously, some are more advanced, so it can be frustrating until you get the feel of the enemy behavior and learn all the actions you can take. They're still one of the most appealing genres imo, they have the appeal of fighting games and sometimes character action.

What's better, a digital and permanent purchase, which is equivalent to the original arcade release in accuracy and input delay, which includes exclusive new modes, artwork, soundtracks, online replay storage and leaderboards, training features, etc. or a re-release of a console of arcade ports for $1000 which are functionally the same as emulating with runahead. I'd say we are not holding these companies to high enough standards, and this behavior leads to stagnation and collector fomo.

This is huge if it's actually a good recreation. Can someone more familiar with the original stock tell me how these controllers compare?

I'm honestly down for a collection of Metal Slug games but ported by M2. They're the masters of porting jobs who put more effort into their porting than everyone else. But also, you're also missing the point of re-manufacturing consoles and owning physical media. The feel of the Neo Geo arcade stick on your lap. Inserting the cartridges to play the games. Now, if you just want to play the games, emulating is the best option. It's free, and the emulation for Neo Geo is practically perfect. But there is something to be said about the feel of holding the cartridges and the arcade stick. At the very least, you should be able to agree that it preserves the image of the console. It reminds people what the consoles and their cartridges looked and feel like, even if it's not exactly 1:1.

You don't understand it because you don't value physical media, which is a fine stance BTW, I can respect that. As I've said before, for anyone looking to just play the games, emulation is your best option. The console is for those who like physical media. It's really just preference, even if the latter is more costly long term.

I could emulate the fucking thing on my computer, phone, microwave or I could sit at the backseat of my car and play Metal Slug 2 in my mind all I want. I've been emulating for more than 20 years, when I was a kid I didn't have cash so I emulated everything.

I'm aware of that, however AES is tweaked and not backwards compatible and the bios is not modifiable. From a playing standpoint, and an arcade accuracy standpoint, MVS is far superior. AES is a collectors thing due to rarity, not quality.
>>
>>
>>737074872
I guess. You can replace the BIOS chip in an AES (or MVS) and get that functionality home, however. In fact, it's something I really should do at some point.
>not backwards compatible
Pretty sure can run AES games on MVS if you wanted to. Harder than the other way around, though. And the carts contain both the arcade and home data, regardless whether it's an MVS or AES one.

>>737075195
Sure, it would be very difficult due to a fun trick SNK did in addition to the different shape of the cartridges. But fundamentally they are 100% identical, as proven with anyone being able to play arcade carts on their home console with a converter. The MVS carts even have the home data on them and vice versa.
>>
Worth the collector's pricetag if the controller isn't shit (which SNK has historically been fucking up repeatedly on every Neo-Geo branded nostalgia hardware release), and there really is no emulation (FPGA included) so shit plays exactly as it should.
Getting any actual MVS hardware in working order costs an arm and a leg.
>>
>>737076208
You're missing the point, in that they are literal ports of arcade games, and there's no value in using inferior peripherals made for a console that is a collection of arcade games, instead of just using an arcade stick. There's nothing commendable about that. Like the first thing I would do upon receiving a neogeo controller would be to rip it apart and put my preferred stick in there.

I don't remember implying it wasn't? The arcade stick(s) of the of the Japanese MVS cabinets are period accurate, the sticks in the European and American MVS cabinets (different by the way) are period accurate as well and so is the AES stick – and the CD pad (for a slightly later period).

It's still an official SNK peripheral from the period the games were published and made specifically to play said games, whether or not it is an optimal or even (well-)though way to play these games. For some people it might be.
To be honest, I'm not that fond of it, either, although the concept is interesting. Ironically I quite like the much tighter Neo-Geo Pocket implementation. When I travelled more and played fighting games with friends outside town I really wanted something like that.

Sure, but arcade cabs from the period did have autofire, and the JHA accepts autofire. Like playing metal slug without that would suck ass. So there is a lot of reasons why this would be a de facto worse experience. For nearly a grand.

I don't get what's enticing with these retro console rereleases when that's solved by emulation already. These boxes even do that as well there's no old school magic in them. I call them plastic because it's nothing worthwhile spec wise, and just has its case marked "right" but they ask a premium price. As if that makes a difference.

It'll never make it to my country, but if it does, I'll buy it.
The Neo Geo is legendary. Back in my childhood, when everyone was playing SNES or Mega Drive, people would say "Neo Geo" as if they were talking about the future—something out of reach.
When someone was really rich, we'd say, "That guy must have a Neo Geo."

>>737080014
According to the OP, it’s a recreation of the original hardware.
A $10 pico board is enough to emulate the Neo Geo. If you want to build a "Neo Geo Mini", you won’t spend much more than $150, including the parts to make the arcade stick...
>>
>>737080014
Like I said above, my interest lies within the actual old tech. As to why I'm "mildly interested" in this new one is because the tech inside should be at least partially old-school, and I find it fascinating. And getting a reproduction of some of the games may be worthile because they actually should work on real old hardware and because some of the games cost a ton. Still, I'll hold my judgement on that too, since I'm not too interested in repros.

>reproduction of some of the games may be worthile because they actually should work on real old hardware and because some of the games cost a ton.
I reread the OP and alright. My tangent was more from what we've learned from PS1 or Amiga repros. Personally I still can't imagine buying this, I've built my own "arcade" similar to one I've sent pic of but can't find one of it and ultimately I've spent more time putting it together than actually playing on it. Left it in dad's garage, cousins get some mileage out of it on holidays from what I heard.
That's the thing with being nostalgic for old games, and this might of course be my experience, but there's a lot more time put in to getting it work over actually playing the damn games.

The dreamcast has less memory and higher latency. Advantages like training mode are obviously irrelevant when emulation is of such high quality now. Even emulating the dreamcast via flycast has lower latency than original hardware.

I get it. I haven't give a rat's ass about any of the "mini" consoles and the like either. I do want to see the insides of this one, since they claim it to be quite different to them, however. But I'm not going to fork the cash myself.
The peripherals being backwards compatible is great too in the sense that there will be more affordable options to be used along with the old systems. Old controllers and memory cards etc. continue to get worn out, lost, destroyed etc., slowly but surely Having alternative options is never bad, even though I don't want to personally rely on them.

I'm sort of interested in it, but the Saudis are wild for the $90 games and the fact the closest thing to an Everdrive is $699 is wild to me. It's not like it's really hard to play these games in modern collections or other means for much less, so I guess I'm not really the intended audience, which makes me question who is, since NEO GEO collectors likely have most of these games already and it's a bit of a hard market to break into with these prices for those not invested into it at this point.

>they fucked up the button order
>but the color order is the same as it is on the original pad
Even the fucking Mini controllers (with the analog sticks) at least bothered to move the colors around correctly to their new placement.

I guess it might be due to Discover having some bitch fit regarding their payment system or maybe the transaction is flagged. I mean, SNK themselves advertised the product so I assume it is all legit. I did send an email to support though, in advance, asking what steps I would need to take if I wanted to cancel my pre-order later.

Use a proxy buyer/personal shopper. I order from jap stores all the time. All i do is send links of items i want, pay for them + proxy shipper commision and it arrives. I imagine these kind of companies exist in most countries
