RadiantFlamberge Posted June 15, 2018 Author Share Posted June 15, 2018 If it's $80 or not too much more, I might be tempted. Some of the games are good (Blazing Star, Kizuna Encounter, Sengoku 3, Last Resort, World Heroes Perfect, & both Shock Troopers). I'd have left Top Players Golf out of it though. That spot could've better gone to Neo Turf Masters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z1MZUM Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 For a system that can be emulated on anything including the switch I don't think it's worth it. I've been through my Aes and Mvs days and paid the price, luckily I still have both. But this is just my opinion and maybe it's a good product for others as Some of those Neo Geo games are still pretty awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadiantFlamberge Posted June 18, 2018 Author Share Posted June 18, 2018 http://www.siliconera.com/2018/06/16/closer-look-neo-geo-mini-controller/ This article says SNK has had requests for a plug-in arcade stick for the Neo-Geo Mini. They are thinking about it. Hopefully, they'll leave Samurai Shodown V Special uncensored like the M-rated PS4 & Vita versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honor_Hand Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Now that I see some photos of it, it actually looks pretty small. Like way to small for my gorilla-like hands! Not having an internal battery doesn't phase me as I wasn't really thinking about taking playing it on the got but the design looks like it could be somewhat cumbersome to play if you put it on your lap. Looks like a table or any kind of flat surface will be necessary to play it in a more comfortable way. I hope the extra controllers don't retail for too much. Would be nice if they made it compatible with just about any kind of USB controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some good arcade sticks out there like Hori's PS3/PS4 ones. I'd really like to be able to use one on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be sweet if it was compatible with this console as it would save me money on having to buy any extra controllers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadiantFlamberge Posted September 17, 2018 Author Share Posted September 17, 2018 Here's Madlittlepixel's take on the NGM Japanese unit. He does seem disappointed about some things with it like no clickiness/microswitches in the unit's stick, & external power supply only (no battery).

Games will be based on their home console versions (boo). Why not have it be like the MVS except with Free Play? Not sure if I want it now. Minus a couple of games, there is no difference between AES and MVS games, both carts contain 2 versions of the same game Edited September 17, 2018 by SnowxSakura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, at least is going to cost less than what we expected but, for what it is included in the package it still sounds somewhat expensive. The lack of a battery doesn't phase me much but the lack of microswitches on both the stick and button does. The unit itself looks cool (I prefer the color scheme on the international version) and the construction looks rather solid. It also comes with a good selection of 40 games to play from the get-go. Still... This is probably the only mini-console I am interested in mostly due to its cute, arcade cabinet-like presentation. $100 for it just ok... could be cheaper considering all that is missing on the package. I wonder if there is a chance of getting a used one at a cheaper price later down the road ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe even Neo geo period that maybe 1% of pop had money for. Some of those consoles during then died off so quick. People that fell for it wasted so much money.

Well the AES didn't do too bad, it was supported from 1991 to 2004 for game releases, and hardware support until 2006. A lot longer than most companies can say. Also the panasonic was the 3DO, unless you're thinking of the philips cd-i. I still enjoy playing the AES, but the carts are way too expensive nowadays 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm ashamed! >< Wasnt there something else that came out around that time too. Was it really the philips?? There definitely had a lot of consoles in a generation then. But I wouldnt say they were all head to head competing with each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other systems out around that time were the Atari jaguar, Apple Bandai pippin, the pioneer laseractive, the Philips cd-i, the pc engine, the pc-fx, the pc engine super grafx.

RadiantFlamberge Posted September 21, 2018 Author Share Posted September 21, 2018 I'm glad we don't have 5 consoles competing against each other. Three is enough. Sega's 32X Genesis/Mega Drive add-on was a truly bad idea when the Saturn & PS1 were getting ready to hit. All those 32X games should've been saved for Saturn.

Some of them are Terminator, Wonder Dog, Jaguar XJ220, Final Fight (better than the SNES cart- it's 2 player with all 3 characters, & way closer to the arcade... Rolento & the Industrial Area stage are back), Soul Star, Sonic CD, & AH-3 Thunder Strike. Namco even tried Starblade on it, which turned out decent. One that could've been better is After Burner III. This one doesn't use the Sega CD's capabilities- I'm sure it's due to the developer being lazy.

RadiantFlamberge Posted September 29, 2018 Author Share Posted September 29, 2018 Just found this. Ouch. MetalJesusRocks is disappointed enough to give it a "nope". Neither the cabinet stick nor the gamepad thumbsticks have that click. On the HDMI, the 720p output looks blurry. The button layout is rotated from the one found on the original Neo pads. True there's no battery but I'm sure an external USB power bank can take care of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honor_Hand Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Oh, you beat me to it @gameoverDude189 Just saw this video from MetalJesusRocks and I was coming to share it here >.< MetalJesusRocks was mostly disappointed in it and here I was thinking he was gonna like this console. The gamepads are reasonably priced at $25 but the lack of microswitches on both the gamepads and the console is definitely a missed opportunity. I never played with an original Neo Geo pad but I can see why people could get lost at the fact that they changed the button layout. The thing that kinda throws the deal to the ground is the supposedly blurry 720p output of the console when using a TV. I was kind of surprised that he praised the small LCD screen that it comes with and that he admitted that it was comfy to play it using the stick and buttons on the console itself. Think I am going to hold off on this... $100 looks like too much for the quality of the device and there are a number of things sorely missing from the whole package. What do you guys think? I still think it looks cool for collection purposes but I rather get it for less than that later down the road, if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the competition was Sega and Nintendo without mentioning commodore and Atari, then Sony. Also the 3do was great in it's time if not a little overpriced. The AES carts where a massive rip off imo so I bought the parts for an MVS and consolized it with memory card and all. So of course I have no interest in this new machine. In short the Sony VS Microsoft vs Nintendo world has killed off innovation to a degree. BTW, I'm sure allot of you watch MJR. I want to recommend "Last Gamer" for his youtube content, his collection and enthusiasm is unbeatable. Edited October 4, 2018 by Z1MZUM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
