Not for that price. And my interest in the console depends on how future games become available.
For NeoGeo games?? No way. I'd pay $50 tops for this. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate NeoGeo or anything... in fact I really like the system and SOME of their games. There are waaaay too many fighting games, and shooters, and just clones in general. And to add to what Gypsy said, I've been hearing about this system for a while now and not one site has ever mentioned how new games will be available. All they talk about are the 20 preloaded games and that's it. Not a good sign in my book.

Ever since I first heard about it I was excited, but saw not many people were, and they really felt it was too much even it came with 20 games. The first list of games was better than the second list they have, and they still havent announced new titles for it. So i think I will get one, but I understand why people dont like it from hearing their criticisms. I dont know why some people say it should be as low as $30 though, thats really ridiculous. Probably cause theyre seeing it as a toy, like those handhelds in the 90's that played one game and would break after a few years? But this is a real system, and comes wit ha great controller and a AES looking dock. They need to announce more titles for people to be more enthused.
You realize that this DOES NOT come with a joystick, that is a separate purchase for the $130 model. Have you looked at the list of games?? Almost everything on the list are the first gen titles that were release which you can pick up the real carts with packaging for a real NeoGeo for around $5 to $10 each. Metal Slug is the only expensive game in this set, but who doesn't have a version of that in some form by now? Let's also not forget this is an antiquated system, with no wifi or ad-hoc play, and 20 year old technology. Yeah, $30 sounds about right...Quote:

Have you seen those consolized MVS systems? They're pricey, but custom built for the arcade boards (which are considerably cheaper than some of the later cart versions).Quote:

Yeah but that one is spammed with stupid youtube video posts. This one is much cleaner....
When I hear about this all I think about is the home unit, not just the portable one. I think its worth getting at that range since its the only way to have a working AES in my home. The price is good, and I think people should take more into account that this thing is going to be made as well as a DS or such portable console, so why not charge that price since it comes with 20 games.
I would be. If I had enough, I would get two just to play it with someone else. I've been playing the king of fighters r-1 and r-2, snk vs capcom match of the millineum. and samurai showdown 2 for a while before I had came across the neo geo x. I thought it was a reasonable price compared to the previous neo geo on amazon and ebay lol
Hell yes I'd buy that. I paid more than that for 1 game when I owned the system in the early 90's. You kids got it too easy these days.......spoiled bastards...
Perhaps it's Not for that price.
