New Video Game System Silently Released Last Week

If you thought we were done with new consoles in 2012 then you would be wrong! A new video game console was released last week that I’m sure many of you have fond memories of with its precursor.

Old news, I'd own one if it wasn't so expensive out the box.

The price is just the first of this system's many problems. Even for collectors/enthusiasts this is a tough sell.

Let me exemplify with the opinion of a long time Neo Geo fan, someone who really knows the system from inside and outside (literally - he's the one who repaired the Neo Geo arcade board for Classic Game Room's Youtube channel):

Tetsujin4885d ago

I saw the video, it reminds me of the NES and the updated top loader version and the quality difference. After watching this I'd get one if it was under $30 - if that.

Knows his Neo hardware but I had to inform him there are a few with strange audio/video issues. Mine is a 337 model and apparently there are other units with a different firmware such as 350 and 370.

Lukes complaints are not and should not be taken as the rule of thumb for everyone. The unit is not junk. It isn't for everyone but its too easy for someone who is having issues should take it up with the company to get one that works properly instead of resorting to calling it junk.

There is potential in the hardware. It seems it is more capable than led to believe. The hacking community will have this thing cracked to run other emus or apps. Its no psvita but then again....it isn't trying to be.

can already play most of the games on psp/vita/ps3 so whats the point unless you are a collector?

WildArmed4885d ago

Exactly, you can emulate the games on a 90$ PSP, why on earth would you go for a 200$ handheld?

TXIDarkAvenger4885d ago

The same reason I can emulate a majority of games on PC but choose to buy the system the game was made for.

Flandy4885d ago

Didn't this release like in early December?

DeeZee4885d ago

Everyone knew this was coming out.

admiralvic4885d ago

Agreed.

The only reason this might be news to some, is the simple fact that there isn't a lot to say about it. Sure it's cool, but the price vastly outweighs any of that. Additionally, I've yet to hear news of more titles coming, nor has there really been any news past the preorder bonus, so it's not shocking to be in the dark.

Either or, down voted for the deceptive title... since I rather not see a new article every time a flash back or Chinese console releases.

Five Games I'd Love To See On the Neo Geo AES+

These classics need to make a return.

Blues Journey is the game I'd like to see.

Popsicle19d ago

Pre-ordered mine a few days ago. Love this concept and hope there are more games announced. I can’t justify paying the prices for games that collectors are asking for. It’s the primary reason I own almost every console except the Neo Geo.

Agent7519d ago

I've pre ordered one here in the UK, no games though, as I'll move it on for a higher price. The white model looks awesome, but as expected, the price is too high. We'll probably see more of those all in one cartridges from China containing every AES game. In the UK, AES+ game at £70 ($95) is better than eye watering prices for the originals, but these games are so old and I can honestly say SNK didn't release many classics. The Metal Slug series is the only series I rate, there were just too many Street Fighter clones and not enough scrolling fighting games. Overall, the Neo Geo was poor for all genres apart from one on one fighters. Videos on YouTube asking for games from that console generation to be ported to the AES+, but who'd want to pay £70 for Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter 2? There's a lot of SNK collections out there, the best being Metal Slug Anthology on the PlayStation 2. The Street Fighter Anniversary Collection on the Switch contains 12 games for around £30, instead of £840 if released on the AES+. For collectors, the AES+ is the best news since sliced bread. Are there enough SNK fans out there? Nowhere near. Those £70 cartridges will soon start creeping up in price and it'll be a re-run of the original console.

I always wanted one in the 90's but couldn't afford it. Now i can but i think if i get one it will be collecting dust fast. It's a nostalgia thing i guess.
