That "Neo Geo Portable Device" we were all cooing over? What? There was cooing. We cooed a little. Anyway, it's really happening! And it's happening soon! And worldwide. Blaze, who you might know from various Megadrive/Genesis handhelds, is producing the "NeoGeo X" handheld under SNK's license, shipping the device in Q2 with a pre-loaded selection of 20 Neo classics -- a couple of Fatal Furies, King of the Monsters, Metal Slug, and more.

Other features include an SD card slot (for additional games?), and AV out. There's no price for the "limited edition" console yet, but a Blaze rep says in the press release that the company hopes to spread excitement about the Neo Geo "in a more affordable manner, to a much wider audience." That sounds to us like it's going to be cheaper than the $649 SNK asked for the home console at launch.

What? Why would anyone want this? I'm sure every game in the catalog could fit on one DS/Vita card.

The console, 20 games, and a controller? Seems like a steal. Of course, I wish it was a much better list of Neo-Geo games, but eh.

I recall loving 'Nam 1975 and liking the baseball game in arcades in, I want to say in the late 1980s. I think I pondered getting the home console for some insane price (like $699 or something, and then $149 [!] for each game title), but common sense won out... for a change.  icon_razz

There was also some Ninja type game I liked, doesn't seem to be on the list.

So, this is being released in Q2 of 1989, right?

For some reason, I'm getting the urge to buy one of these.   My rational side knows I'd play it for a few hours and it would go on a shelf.   My OCD tendancies are working overtime however to get me  to buy to one off amazon.
