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?
