>>737096676
$250 by itself, $350 with Metal Slug and maybe one other thing, I dunno, and $1000 for several games and a memory card with the machine. It's supposed to be a wholesale rebuild/replacement for the original AES. But looking at that controller it looks absolutely off, smaller buttons, wrong layout and colors, looks cheap as shit despite the claims of microswitches. They say this thing is using genuine engineering recreations of the old Neo Geo hardware, but I highly doubt they actually did that.
It looks like one gigantic overpriced collector's scam unless you're already highly invested into Neo Geo hardware and the cartridges.

>>737096612

Are you fucking kidding me, holy fuck this shit is retarded.

>>737104315
There is a huge market for Neo Geo hardware because of how prohibitively expensive it is.
The only reason it flopped in the first place was because it was exorbitantly costly.
If you like arcade games then Neo Geo is a pretty big deal.

>>737104315
You underestimate nostalgiafags and collectors.

>>737096612
It looks nice but all those games suck ass.

>>737104404
Ironically probably cheaper than actually buying the individual carts and this will drop their value for the insane collectors. And the only flash cart solution for Neo Geo is already twice the cost of the new console by itself. NG prices are fucking retarded, it made sense because it was literal arcade hardware in your house back at the time but nowadays it's genuine nonsense.

Was thinking of picking up the neo geo collections on switch. 10games for $40.

or would the actual console be more worth it

>>737104614
How will collectors justify paying 40.000$ for a new 1996 copy vs a new 2026 copy for 90$?

How can the Neo Geo market survive after this.
Please someone explain to me.
I mean there is no trick the contents of both are the same right?
The box,the artwork,the cartridge and game, and the manual, there is no trap it's the same game.

>>737104315
Different markets then and now. Just the fact that they're reproducing retro hardware with authentic cartridges is something rare. Although if I was going to buy anything other than the white edition as a collector's item, I'd wait and see if what they say about not using emulation is true.

>components weaker and less complex than a budget smartphone from 15 years ago

this meme needs to end.

>>737096612
I thought about it, but no matter what, with tax / shipping / likely tariffs, it'll be $400+ just to get the system and play a game or just buy a system and get a multicart at the going rates, so I think I'll just look into getting a rompack and loading them on my Analouge Pocket since it's likely all FPGA anyways at this point.

If the games weren't $90 and had a better selection, I'd be more interested, but the games they have are almost always in one of those collection packs they've been repackaging for 20+ years since at least the PS2 and Wii.

>>737102592
Yes, but his exclusion has nothing to do with copyright infringement, if it was, then a lot of other characters would be exclused too(just look at Benimaru).
They removed him because SNK just simply hated the character.

Getting actual new chips and everything for old hardware like this ain't easy so i still kinda doubt they really went all the way with this.
Maybe the ASIC chips are real but that doesn't mean they also got the YAMAHA sound and everything.
Will wait for a teardown/showcase before i make an order.

SEGA pulled some bullshit like this in the past as well by re-using old NOMAD chips for "new" Megadrive/Genesis hardware which had its issues.

>>737098214
>Then go buy a fucking actual Neo Geo
Who's crazy enough to buy 30-year-old consoles to actually use them? If it's just to put them on a shelf like those fags usually do, fine, but if you're actually going to use them, you're wasting money on something where 50% of the components have already passed their useful life.
The other day I was watching a video of one of these suckers on YouTube. He has about 30 old consoles, 5 of which are in line for repair. He said he's already at the point where it takes him two months to find the parts to fix a console, and by the time he finally finishes the job, two other consoles start showing problems.

>>737104404
the Chinese bootlegs of the same games are $250-$600 for "convert" cartridges, $90 for a game that can be plugged into an original AES is a bargain in comparison.

>>737114914
Those items probably take months to sell. They're fishing for whales.

>>737115294
The usual argument for these is that just because $90 is cheaper than the competition doesn't mean it's good value. As in there is no such thing as a game worth more than $60 regardless of its resale value.

>>737104315
The Neo Geo home console was originally meant to be a rental exclusive for arcade game fans, they only started selling the things due to higher than expected demand. Even then, it was never meant to compete with the SNES/Genesis.
The arcade system with mostly the same hardware was a massive hit worldwide though.

>>737115801
it has to do with the cost of producing a cartridge inflating the price significantly, even in 1990 money the games used to be $200+ minimum brand new from SNK, these are not some basic cartridge and are effective two entire circuit boards stuffed into a cartridge the size of a dinner plate.

if these were digital or on a cheaper medium like CD then the cost would be significantly less which is why digital collections of some of these games are as cheap as $10

to be compatible with the original AES there is only so much cost cutting they could possibly do.

Why would you post that without double checking the email address? Plaion isn't a new company either.

>>737116108
My point being that unless you consider physical video games an investment the actual contents of the cartridge and the "authentic retro feel" doesn't justify buying a $90 video game from 20+ years ago. Doubly so when emulation is perfect and accurate.

>>737096612
Who the hell is paying $90 for an arcade game you can beat in 20 minutes
Even if you 1cc metal slug you can practice and accomplish that in like 15 hours tops
I'm not one of those "dollar per hour" type guys but that just seems like a really bad value proposition, this can only be for rich collectors who don't care about playing the games as much as owning a thing

>>737116578
it is more of a novelty than anything else or for people who already own an AES and games, i got a Japanese unit and about 5 games myself.

having an original style arcade stick feels like a minimum if your going the lame emulation route which are $150+ for an old as shit one.

>>737100540
For AES collectards it makes sense to do MS1, because that game is easily $10,000+ for an original unlike X/3 which are only a couple grand

>>737117073
>having an original style arcade stick feels like a minimum if your going the lame emulation route which are $150+ for an old as shit one
Why? What's wrong with the 8bitdo Arcade Stick? It's fully microswitched and will cost you 80€.

>>737117459
it seems close enough to be decent, i would agree with you that seems like it would be good, wont quite feel right but good.

>>737117785
Well how much are you willing to pay for that feel? This is Neo Geo so the real hardware and games will cost you, in total, atleast a decent used car’s worth.
Assuming this new repro is decent you’re looking at a system that’s already $150 more as expensive as a third party arcade stick+emulation. Then add $90 for every single game.

>>737116582
If the game is good enough you'll keep coming back. I have over 150 hours on Radiant Silvergun, which is about 45-an hour. Or Giga Wing 2 on my dreamcast which is a 25 minute game that I have probably 300 hours in over the years. I'll come back to them and play them for a few weeks every now and then.

Granted there aren't many neo geo games I'd go that deep for, aside from the Aero Fighters games but I just play those on mame.

>>737116108
Don't forget that back in those early days, you were paying for the additional memory the carts had in them much like nowadays we're paying for RAM and storage in PCs at the moment. With how things have come along over the years, these would be more affordable and likely marked up at a premium to make people feel it's a premium product due to the NEOGEO legacy they're trying to buy into.

The fact that there are multicarts being pumped out in China with every game and variation for nearly the same price as a single game is proof enough that they're playing people for fools with this re-release.

>>737118436
i have an AES, two original sticks, the bean original stick, the gamepad, memory card, and five of the cheaper games with the only more expensive one being KoF '99.

i also have a Neo Geo CD, Neo Geo CDZ, and Neo Geo Pocket Color each with 10-20 games each.

at this point the AES+ is more of a supplemental option.

what about it? they probably just picked it due to being expensive, sure people argue which KoF is better with i think '98 being the more popular one? not sure exactly.

or did you mean it is newer than expected? the Neo Geo got games from 1990-2004 so it had a fairly long run.

It seems like the only other console Plaion made was the Atari 7800+. It's an emulation console but was decent from what I can gather.

>>737119040
It would be funny if it implemented the Ultimate Match stuff like how they are implementing a new golf course into the AES version of Neo Turf Masters that was only available in the NeoGeo CD version.

>>737119256
On paper everything about this seems very good, but I worry about a catch later. At least SNK themselves are advertising this as well, so it isn't a "we don't know these people" situation. It is interesting how these games are allegedly able to play on an original AES, so it can't be a "it is just a large USB rom" type thing.

>>737119565
>but I worry about a catch later
to be honest same, but they will probably release some more information on it soon enough
The console itself is probably very cheap to make, it's the games prices that seems impossible at the moment. But well it probably isn't impacted by the memory prices madness we're going through anyway

>>737120098
True. I did email them last night about what steps to takento cancel a pre-order if I need to later but haven't heard back yet. However, I did paypal and saw I can request a refund through them so I have some safety net.

Everyone played its games at the arcade, so yes, there's plenty of nostalgia. The console version is literally the arcade hardware, and it was always meant to be a luxury device.

>>737100540
MS1 is one of, if not THE most expensive AES game so far, almost impossible to even see. It makes perfect sense for them to push it as the flagship, as they are saying with this move 'hey collectors, you wont have to deal with scalper shit anymore, we can give you the game you are looking for for a reasonable price.'

I am tempted to pre order the ultimate, however the sticking point for me:
>no mention of built-in CRT shaders/filters

So if you're playing it on a big modern TV it'll look like shit. If you have a big old CRT then great, otherwise I think I'll just stick with emulation.

>>737106945
Some of the contents might be different. Neo Turf Masters is adding the Scotland course which was only on the CD version and Shock Troopers was never released on the AES before. Also might be using NAND Flash vs EPROM.

>>737121245
I think EPROMs would be better since those can be changed out if needed while the NAND Flash may degrade faster more overtime. Plus, since these carts do work with original AES, I'm more inclined to think EPROMs might be used. I'd love it if masked ROMS are used.

A lot of snk games are not good. Like the people who made VSP went on to make a lot of cool games on their own. Last Blade 2 was developed in-house by snk, and it's a horrendous unplayable kusoge. A lot of SNK is like that. It's all "remember that spritework from that game you didn't play? Please buy our low effort branding while we milk our dead IPs to death for 20 years" And while the art is good, it's not like they're the best. Gunbird 2 mogs the fuck out of anything SNK has ever done and there are plenty of other games i could say the same for.

That mostly comes from the bullet spam, cuz a lot of the game is very static otherwise.
And sure the bosses do move around a fair bit, but Metal Slug ends up putting more fine details here and there, hell the sprite of the character just simply standing still has a lot of subtle detail and smooth sub-pixel animation.

Bullet trajectory design isn't easy. It's incredibly math heavy to program actually, and its an art just like drawing with pixels is. Gameplay is aesthetic and you shouldn't spend years reposting a gif of one of the most boring fights in an metal slug game. If the fight is boring, that's an aesthetic failure.

I don't think you can kill the scalping scene. If people want to still e-peen "the original release" of a game or a system, they can. This tends to happen with every item rereleased ever, the 90s originals will probably keep increasing in price because they have the pedigree of being the originals for any one that's truly a diehard fan that NEEDS those releases in particular, moreso with a new one increasing the interest in the product. It's likely that old ones will keep circulating between the same group of people while they inflate the price boucing off each other as time goes.
But pretty much nobody outsife ot the scalping circlejerk will give a flying fuck about them, now that the average joe can get metal slug 1 for msrp and flip the bird to the retards asking for 25k bucks a pop.

Why the fuck did they pick Magician Lord over an Art of Fighting, Last Blade, or Fatal Fury Game?

>>737151620
I thought that one was weird until I remembered that was the original pack-in game along with Nam 1975 iirc. It's also platformer representation in a spread that was clearly trying to represent a lot of genres. So it has some significance. Also, they already have MotW for Fatal Fury. I would have preferred Special or one of the Last Bouts myself but I get it.

The really weird part to me is choosing Over Top over Neo Drift Out as the token racing game.

>>737151620

I imagine they're gonna want to spread the big games out a bit. Maybe use heavy hitters to carry box sets.

Why can't Capcom do something like this for their CPS generations?

>>737152589
Honestly, I'm kind of interested in picking one of these up, especially now that it's on Amazon now. It seems the White version is the better bang for buck since it has the $90 Metal Slug as well as a $35 memory card included from what I understand? These systems won't really have any resell value at the end of the day, right? So it doesn't really matter what color one buys?

On that note, the memory card pages on Amazon say they have 16GB of storage on them, but are they like old Dreamcast VMUs / PS1 memory cards where there's a hard limit of what you can store on them? I was thinking of nabbing a multicart to toy with and not sure if I wanted to buy an extra memory card or not since they do sell them for the white system for $35 as well it seems.

Last question, but is the dpad controller worth it? I see they're selling the systems with like arcade sticks but have a more traditional controller only in black as an option for around $60.

What is there to even store other than scores? I've played many NG games and can't remember a single one with a save function

>>737154947
I don't know, to be honest. I also seen that Amazon is advertising the memory cards wrong, as they're only 16k in size but Amazon defaults to 16GB on the store info section. I'm not really sure how much space the saves would take up, and since I never messed with Neo Geo stuff myself before, I'm not really sure if any games have saves or unlockables, just saving scores.

The original Neo Geo CD pad uses a sliding digital stick held by springs that pushes into microswitches for each direction, and the new one is alleged to use a similar thing on their website (assuming they don't fuck it up like the Mini), so it depends how tolerant you are to that sort of thing.
Admittedly I've never used an OEM Neo CD controller before but I love the 6-button PS2 version. Feels smooth but slightly tactile if that makes sense.

I wonder if it wouldn't be cheaper to produce a NGCD that just has a better disc read speed. Probably wouldn't be as appealing.

>>737155083
the average Memcard can save data of up to 17-22 games at a time.

some action games actually let you save your progress between stages so you could continue another day if needed as the overall NG cab had slots for the cards, and supposedly, you could even use your saves in both the arcade and the AES. but as you can imagine, only japan managed to tke advantage of that.

I just learnt about the Neo Geo CD thanks to this post and from the way you describe the controller, it sounds like it'll be pretty good to use, so I'll probably toss it on my list at this time as I'm going to likely do a payment plan with no interest on my Amazon card for six months to pay it all off.

I'm just raging a bit internally since this looks more appealing the more I'm looking at it and somehow it's cheaper to buy a brand new Neo Geo with hardware and games in 2026 than it is to buy a new Commodore 64, which my autism latched onto last year as something I didn't need but wanted.

>>737155650
That's neat, and I heard about using your own card in the arcades and bringing them home, since it was used for a few games I read about over the years. For $35 though, I think I'll just stick to a single card at this time unless there's a high density one that was made by the community over the years that isn't advertised on Amazon.

I'm hoping they expand the selection of games later on, since I've only really played Metal Slug 3 before and some older stuff back around 94 like a game with yoyos for a beat em up and I think some game with leaf people in a Los Vegas arcade many moons ago, as well as some game like Contra with branching paths or something like that?
