Since it's emulating, it runs exactly like the MVS/AES, so, yup, the slowdown in Metal Slug is still there. Ninja Master's is really awesome. I'm glad they included several of the classics!

My comment about the OS was just something about the system that struck me. I much prefer scrolling through a list to choose a game over the Vita's touch-designed OS. Even after Sony added D-pad controls, navigation felt odd to me.

Target had them but you can't order anymore.

Any places going to carry these in store? How limited are limited editions anyway?

Anyway.. it still let me preorder one from bestbuy so I did.

Who knows how limited they are. Limited or not, I'm glad to be getting a unit. That's all I have to say.

Over the last couple years I've been really getting into some heavy gaming. This site is no help. I have this urge to buy video games when I know I will not be playing them anytime soon. It's just the factor of getting in on the deals and knowing they are in my catalog.... errr. back log!

My guess is that a regular release for this will happen. But you probably won't be able to get the bundle with Ninja Master. Looks like that was only for the Limited Edition Preorder Bundle. Shrugs. Don't know, don't care. Glad that I got a bundle for 135 (because of unused certs).

Now I hope my parent's bought their 29 year old son (aka ME) a Nintendo Wii U for x-mas.

I've been having an urge of buying a Nintendo Virtual Boy too... hmmmmm.

virtual boy used to make me soooo dizzy. f that thing lol
neo geo on the other hand is freakin awesome.

Probably going to end up returning my second one. It would be nice to keep it but I am sorta of thinking about getting a Wii U after the holidays and that is a good chunk of money to put towards one. If I kept it I would probably end up leaving it up on a shelf unopened although I could probably eventually flip it for more money later on.

You can prob flip it for money now.. especially if it turns out these are the only ones they were able to get out for months.

This thing looks pretty awesome, but since I just bought a Wii U I'm holding off on this thing until more game cards are released if any more are actually released. I have my AES, Neo Geo CD, pocket color, and consolized MVS to hold me over until then.

What about it? That video is borked, every up-close shot has video glitches. That's not the X doing that.

Ya that vid is bad it skips alot if you watch it.

preordered mine just got my tracking nimber should be here tomorrow

lol you sound like me and i also have a real mvs with 1 of the 161 in 1 and the 150 in 1 carts

I never understood AVS.. they cost as much as MVS.. might as well go big or go home

Mine if due Wednesday from Amazon, with TRU joystick still on hold. I'm still a bit pissed that the bloody system has shipped, but no additional cards have been announced yet...

Does anyone know if GameStop stores have already received this or not? I'm wondering if I can just go in and pick up my preorder in the morning or if I'd have to wait for it to be delivered to them and a call.

Also, just saw this trailer... I'm excited.

Well so much for trying to order from Best buy again with the $100 code they gave me for my previous preorder with them, Sold Out. Went ahead and ordered from Walmart. Any one actually got one mailed in hand from Best buy.

Just got the shipping confirmation from Amazon. Hopefully it will be as cool as i'm hoping. I've been super excited since it was first announced.

Always wanted a console Neo Geo but they were always too expensive
