Reminder: NEOGEO X GOLD Limited Edition Launches This Week!

The wait is finally over.

All the way back in October (doesn’t that seem like ages ago?) we told you all about the upcoming release of the limited edition NEOGEO X GOLD. That release is now upon us, as the sought after console is set to launch this week.

Tommo has just released a launch trailer for the console, and as much as I wanted the console before,  I now feel as though I need it. This thing looks incredible:

The $199.99 package includes (did I mention that it’s awesome?):

-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) – A system within a system!
-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

That is quite the list of games. Though I was only two years old when the NEOGEO AES released, I picked one up years later and had an absolute blast with it. I still own a NEOGEO Pocket Color and play it on a semi-regular basis.

My bank account won’t allow it this close to Christmas, but I will definitely be picking one of these up at some point. How about you?
