A few months ago I posted about the new NEO GEO X GOLD Entertainment System that was being rolled out in time for Christmas, for you hardcore gamers who still pine for the good old gaming days of 1996. I know that I’m someone who was fond of the system and I still play a few rounds of Metal Slug whenever I see one of the arcade systems still hanging around (which has grown increasingly rare).

Today, there’s better news for gamers like us. The complete package that was previewed above back in August, now comes with a Limited Edition.

Tommo, Inc., in partnership with SNK PLAYMORE, today announced the NEOGEO X GOLD Limited Edition entertainment system. The NEOGEO X GOLD Limited Edition will include a limited edition game card to accompany the 20 classic NEOGEO® AES games already pre-loaded on the NEOGEO X Handheld, at no additional cost.

Early adopters and fans who reserve the highly anticipated NEOGEO X GOLD Limited Edition (from participating retailers) on or before its worldwide release date of December 6, 2012 will receive a limited edition NINJA MASTER’S game card for use with the NEOGEO X Handheld, while supplies last.

Originally released in arcades and on the NEOGEO console in 1996, NINJA MASTER’S features 12 playable characters, and lightning-fast 2D fighting action that allows players to switch between hand-to-hand and weapon-based combat on the fly, offering huge combo counts and multiple styles of play. Choose the fighter that suits your skill level and play style and defeat all challengers in this ninja-themed fighter from ADK and SNK.

So yes, you have to place your order by December 6th to get your Ninja Master’s game card. Does anyone else remember this game? Is it as bad ass as the rest of the lineup?

That lineup of 20 pre-loaded games includes:
