Surely they wont release an 'official' product that runs roms straight out the box?

Surely they wont release an 'official' product that runs roms straight out the box?

i doubt that myself, I reckon it will be simular to that other one coming out, where they will have there own app store for the games to can play on it, but surely they won't have neo Geo cart prices attached to them will they?

Yeah i can see this being app based.

If they get the pricing right it could take off.

I enjoyed the SNK collections on PSP - this new handheld would need to offer a wide range of SNK titles at a reasonable price for me to consider it.

(plus, it DOES look like an iPhone 4 with bits stuck on - is it really real?)

well Darran Jones, I think , thinks it's fake too..but only time will tell, to me it looked like a dingo, with a Neo Geo logo.

Just read my quote earlier its from a VERY reliable source

who's to say your not part of the propaganda..lol..

well when ever it arrives..lets hope it will be a proper good little hand held, but, isn't it a bit limited if only to play Neo-Geo games, my psp, dingo , plays all these plus much much more.

So we now know that this is going to use SD cards and will come with 20 games pre-loaded which are:

Art of Fighting
Baseball Stars
Cyber Lip
Fatal Fury
Fatal Fury Special
Football Frenzy
King of the Monsters
Last Resort
League Bowling
Magician Lord
Metal Slug
Mutation Nation
Nam 1975
Samurai Shodown
Sengoku
Super Sidekicks
The King of Fighters ‘94
The Ultimate 11
Top Players Golf
World Heroes

The unit will cost around £120 and its likely that more games will be available for around £2 each (download of course)

Consider me sold on this!

sounds pretty damn awesome, look forward to seeing one in action.

looks interesting, but pricewise it's still a bit high.
