Were they really that low? It still shows as being $365 USD. https://shop.bitmapbureau.com/products/xeno-crisis-neo-geo-aes

I respect you and your reply, thank you. Merry Christmas.Yeah, but then... Some actual Neo Geo games from back in the day weren't Neo Geo games either - esthetically and technically. Yet, they are there, and have been there for 20 years now.
I don't think "Neo Geo games" as you mean them are ever going to be done again, if only because, with the tools publicly available today, I can't see any developper submitting to early system rom limitations that make no sense today... So if we go that way, there shouldn't ever be any more games released on the system. Which is a position I always find a bit odd.

My problem is just like with Xenocrisis they'll do nothing to make the neo version different. Battle axe could be excellent with some tweaks. Like allowing you to save your progress, an arranged ost, and some serious difficultly tweaks but none of this will happen.

I love an impossible port on older ‘past it’ hardware. As Tak said this is actually more like a port of times gone past - physically recreating the game as best you can on hardware which is very different to the original spec.
There’s no way it will be as fluid as the PS5 version but I’m genuinely curious how close they get on the Neo Geo.
It’s actually a mad amount of effort to sell what, 1000 copies maybe?
Fingers crossed this turns out good. Are they planning on releasing on other formats of similar 2D power? PSX or DC maybe?
XenoCrisis I found a bit boring but I’m willing to give BattleAxe a shot based on the trailers and reviews.

Didnt even know about this game until this thread, glad it's out and looks like a purchase for me for sure
When I saw the game announced, the first thing I did was recommend they make a Neo version. I don’t have any current consoles, nor do I have any desire to buy another console. But I’ll support the occasional new game coming out for a retro console.
