SNK announces new hardware - Neo Geo Mini Revealed
- Thread starter Sir Guts
- Start date
I'll echo the sentiment that it looks like it's probably a mini arcade cabinet of some kind. An MVS mini!
Seriously though, I'm hyped. I was never fortunate enough to own an AVS, but I love my NGPC to death. Even with such a short life, it was seriously one of the greatest handhelds of all time.

Between reading the title and entering the thread I had a head full of a new 4k 12TF SNK power house and a list of exclusives... Makes me wonder if the big three will ever be the big four.
It would be really nice to have if it's at least of iCade quality (input-wise I mean, not the cardboard, in that way it surprised me, it had very loud buttons but a very nice overall feel to it, shame it was forgotten as a novelty by its makers) with a nice enough screen, spot-on emulation and also importantly a decent price (I'd say SNES Mini price would be justified given in my opinion SNES mini is overpriced but this would need more hardware like the screen, possibly better specs).

Hey, Neo Geo X works great on handheld! Just don't hook it up to TV if you don't want your eyes bleed.
The idea itself was great, which is probably why SNK signed up:
The execution and quality control though are another story, which is why SNK forced the devs to cease manufacturing it:
This! I'd love to see Super Baseball 2020, Double Dragon, Super Dodgeball, or even Neo Bomberman on one of these things. Bonus points for SVC Chaos!
I'm glad SNK partnered up with Nintendo to produce a fully-featured left joycon with a NGP 8-way stick. Sheer brilliance.
Then I woke up
I don't know about you but I hardly see any screen tearing in my (hacked) portable unit. It is very obvious on tv through hdmi.
This is basically what I think it is. Fun idea but I'm not sure how comfortable it would be to play.It's a mini arcade.

one player only.This is not good.
If it's a mini arcade, it's definitely more expensive than 70-80$. I'd add a 100$ if it's that. And probably another 100$ if it's of good quality.
Good Controllers alone on a good NeoGeo Mini would probably raise the price absurdly high.
Excited to see what it is and what games are included though.

This is definitely what the product is, which means it is intended to be a fully functioning machine. Unfortunately it is basically a gimmick toy at that size.
I'll still buy one...
It has been a lot.

The most common issue among all the supported library is the sound and after that is particular problems with each "supported" game. Let's not forget too about the screen.... Widescren all purpose but bad choice for this particular system.
My thinking too. They always seem to go back to the start for the same batch of games.
Don't do this mini console shit SNK. Gimmie the real shit.

I will buy this with zero hesitation it its a 1 or 2 player bartop with good specs and open/moddable.
I can't imagine it being anything to get me to give up my real hardware. But I am curious about the possibilities of a bartop arcade machine done well.

If it's a bartop and under 200, take my fuckin money!
I will cry rainbow tears of happiness if this is actually a well-made product. I tried to get a Neo when I was in Japan and it was slim pickings and or hella expensive
