I do wonder though which Saudi prince signed off on this like I think one has it as a pet project or something.

Ew Amazon, they just add a label to the actual box and ship it that way. Wouldn’t surprise me if that was the case, which is why I ordered from plaion directly. Either way they claim a 60 day return window.

Dude I literally feel the ones talking crap are aes scalpers. Every single video or site I’ve been had been 99% positive on getting this 😭😭

Even in Japan it’s starting to pick up traction

Bwahahahahaaaaa... jfc, this announcement really has brought all the cranks out of the woodwork.

I'd love to understand what's so complicated in their production process that it literally takes them years to produce carts.

Anyway. Who in their right mind is going to pay 800 euros for NGDEV shit, when you can now buy official resissue games for 80 euro?

Not that their games were worth pursuing prior to the Neo+ news anyway.

Been away for a long time, but actually got a mint unboxed AES and stick last December.

I've preordered the memory card, but will wait before I order the games. If it looks too good to be true etc etc

I have a vid for tomorrow going over ASICs (and other clarifications) and explaining to people "no they arent spinning up fabs to produce NEW silicon from SNK designs. No fab could even handle that process in 2026"...and the designs have to come from somewhere...and where oh where would you get new designs for compatible chips to produce ASICs from in 2026...

the world may never know :LOL:
are you going to bring in new info or are you going to be the nth person online who thinks no one else understands the "ASIC" is going to be based off someone's FPGA design

Don't make it bigger than it is. Todd has reservations about the hardware claims they are making, and I'm with him on this. Until it's in our hands we don't know.

Yeah but the games are £70 and Console is £170. It‘s super cheap compared to what it was in the 90s, reverse inflation.

I am expecting a mid product not an excellent product.

I know what the YouTubers are going to say…

”ello and…err. Welcome to… umm… videogameequeefyreviews and today we have something for you today… we have the Neo Geo aes+ and the games…. today I am going to tell you that the quality of the plastic is not as good as the original as it is a shiner plaastik…. I am going to also report that the smell of the ink is not the same…today… the controller are not the same weight and the ball doesn’t fit in my ass as snug as the original does… I also would like to say that that built in hdmi converter has 0.01% lag more than a OSSC today even although a OSSC costs as much as the console does on its own…. I can report that the colour saturation on AV on a CRT is better than the worst AES umm original mother rev but not as good as err up revision 4-5 b my ballz… today… I also see that umm despite them saying they were going to recreate the original chips on the mother board and in the games themselves it’s actually… umm… today umm using a few newer components and this is a HUGE disappoint and I am really really unhappy with SNK right now today”

Look it’s going to be made to a price so no I’m not expecting a miracle. Better than Neo Geo X would do me fine.

No doubt. But, and I know there have been some firmware complaints in the past, if the build quality is at least as good as Analogue stuff, then I will be very happy.

I can retire my OG AES, and just use the + system for my homecart fix.

The vast majority of Youtubers are just going to say it's great and not go into any depth whatsoever. As usual.

I did my due diligence and looked up a lot of Atari 2600 + teardown videos and saw a lot of positivity towards it, I’m hoping they deliver, clearly they learned their lesson in making it full sized versus making it a bit smaller.

But plastic in general has been shit recently, doesn’t matter what hobby we get into, it’s all the same, but still, as long as it not Neo geo x quality I’m good.

But you will be the exception to that rule, yes?

I'll be on that episode. We can do a segue into pies.

I'm seeing a lot of people that have never played any Neo Geo titles in general pre-order like no tomorrow. To each their own I guess, they are free to do whatever they want with their money but unless you really like fighters and arcade type games in general I don't think you will like what you get out of a Neo Geo system.

But then again who am I kidding, most people will keep this sealed and try to resell it some years down the line...

Yeah I’m thinking my AES+ will live in the living room permanently with Big Tournament Golf in it for socialising.

I’ve yet to find a casual gamer that doesn’t like that game (so long as your playing against other people of a similar skill level).

That lovely boxed AES you sold me a couple of years back (thank you) will become a shelf queen.
