NeoGeo X Gold Available for Pre-order

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. It’s both a proper television console as well as a portable system, all rolled into one. If you’re a fan of retro gaming at all, you’ll be getting a sweet deal here as the system comes with:

• The NEOGEO X Handheld – 4.3″ LCD screen, stereo speakers, 16:9 and 4:3 display options
• The NEOGEO X Station – houses NEOGEO X Handheld for charging and audio/video output capabilities via HDMI and composite cables (for a true “classic” experience)
• One NEOGEO X Arcade Stick – Authentic arcade experience, for use with the NEOGEO X Station
• 20 Pre-Loaded Classic NEOGEO® AES games:
  • 3 COUNT BOUT
  • ART OF FIGHTING
  • ALPHA MISSION II
  • BASEBALL STARS II
  • CYBER LIP
  • FATAL FURY
  • FATAL FURY SPECIAL
  • THE KING OF FIGHTERS ’95
  • KING OF THE MONSTERS
  • LAST RESORT
  • LEAGUE BOWLING
  • MAGICIAN LORD
  • METAL SLUG
  • MUTATION NATION
  • NAM 1975
  • PUZZLED
  • REAL BOUT – FATAL FURY SPECIAL
  • SAMURAI SHODOWN II
  • SUPER SIDEKICKS
  • WORLD HEROES PERFECT
• Limited Edition Bonus: NINJA MASTER’S NEOGEO X Game Card

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.
