For reals, this mini better have a helluva good screen and controller for the price it's asking for.I'll be That Guy again and remind y'all that Retropie can do all of the systems you keep buying single board computers with a limited selection of preloaded roms for.
Keep checking back on amazon and GameStopDead?
That raises expectations a lot. Though if I can't nab controllers I'm not sure if it would still be worth keeping, especially if they are a limited run thing.^^^
Funny you say that bad reviews turned you off of buying a neo mini

This is one of the reviews that convinced me to get the neo mini. It shows the quality of the screen and what to do to optimize the video on a tv(you can switch the mode to 4:3 so that it will play on your tv in the natural video but with black bars on the right and left of the screen. It’s that simple. The reviewers sometimes mention that it plays even better on the 3 and a half inch screen, I’m used to playing my games on a switch, so that is no problem.
For potable power, you can use a phone charger power add bank, and it will be more portable . I think the decision to not include a controller or 2 is odd but it’s ing fantastic that we are getting a quality first party machine from snk, as opposed to home brew or raspberry pi
I had a neo geo mini and sold it on ebay the other day, there is NOTHING you can do on this system to fix the video output. Putting it to 4:3 still applies an extremly blurry amd smudgey scaler that has NO option to disable it. If you want to play neo geo games on a tiny screen in your lap just buy the switch releases on the eShop.^^^

This thing does look super cool, but I’ve never been a huge fan of SNK games except for Metal Slug. I hope they’re not scarce and end up dropping to around $70. I would definitely be in for one at that price.
I doubt it will since I’m sure the screen is a little costly, but I really hope so.
Given that you would have to have a USB-C charger pack to use it portably, that probably diminishes the value even more. There is no battery in the system or place to insert batteries. It's weird that they include the screen indicating it is useful to take on the go, but you still have to plug it in for it to work.I really don't like the design and will never use it portably. It should be $70 and less and make it just like the Nintendo classic consoles.
That’s what doesn’t make sense. They make it portable yet it has to be tethered. Then when you plug it into a TV, it looks like absolute crap.Given that you would have to have a USB-C charger pack to use it portably, that probably diminishes the value even more.

i dont think they ever marketed portability, their just a different version like nintendo mini, i have a problem with paying that much especially when i have all those games multiple times on different systems, well hopefully they come out with a second round that bundles at least one controllerThat’s what doesn’t make sense.

I mean to be fair Fighters is the thing that SNK/NeoGeo are known for. But yeah I agree as well, there are a lot of good non fighters that got nixed. Like Puzzle Bobble and Top Hunter (For the U.S)Higher end phones with USB-C can act as power sources btw.
I'm disappointed with the list of games too. It's basically 80% fighting games. Where's all the other genres?
Not just that, but multiple iterations of the same series. I get they added and removed fighters over versions, but why have 10 of them be KoF and 3 Samurai Showdown. They should have picked the best received of each (or maybe two for KoF), then put in a better variety. And it should be a crime to have left out Baseball Stars and/or Cyber Baseball (and I'm not even a big fan of sports games, but those are fun).Higher end phones with USB-C can act as power sources btw.

I don't think the 40th Anniversary Collection has Neo Geo games. The announced ones are their non-MVS home and arcade games from prior to the Neo Geo - like Ikari Warriors, Vanguard, etc.I want this, but $109 is steep for what you get. If it included a controller I'd be in for one though. I am not too keen on the games included either since I have most of them on other collections and the SNK 40th Anniversary Collection will be out on Switch in November.
This is correct, it’s their pre Neo-Geo catalog.I don't think the 40th Anniversary Collection has Neo Geo games. The announced ones are their non-MVS home and arcade games from prior to the Neo Geo - like Ikari Warriors, Vanguard, etc.
