While all of the media’s attention has been focused on the Big Three’s new console offerings, starting first with the Wii U’s imminent launch in November, SNK Playmore and Tommo, Inc would like to remind us of the good old days of arcade gaming by bringing us the NeoGeo X Gold.

Metal Slug? King of Fighters? King of the Monsters? Fatal Fury? It’s like someone grabbed my childhood, threw it in a Delorean, and brought it here in a nice little package. This would be an absolute no brainer for me if I had any spare cash whatsoever. For those of you with a more disposable income, you can preorder the system via Amazon or GameStop, and it will be made available at these retailers, as well as Walmart, Target, Best Buy, and Toys R Us, on December 6th, 2012, for $199.99. Take a gander at the screenshots, and check out website and press release below for more information.

I've been gaming since my dad made the bad decision of buying me a Nintendo when I was four years old. Every day I'd find myself with my face glued to a TV screen, punching away at buttons, getting furious with Bowser, Dr. Wily, and those freakin' birds in Ninja Gaiden. Since then I have failed to get my parents to play any board game with me, I sold my full copy of Earthbound with box and guide for $300 to some dude in Austria for rent money, and I still believe in Nintendo even after all these years.
