Only one mod has that "year" block...

Here, let me help you, buddy.
Only one mod has that "year" block...
...I think he's a kool kat....
Its not easy for me to tell who is a mod or not. I know (think) some are from other threads but basically I just think everyone with one of those "Years" blocks is a mod.
I may have moderation powers, but I'll always be a soc.
SSS - Do you work for the company that created the Neo Geo X, or is this your supposed video game expertise speaking? Stop trying to win a game that's not even being played. You don't like the system. Fine. Move on and play your games on the platform of your choice. Ultimately, nobody who simply wants to enjoy playing games cares about what some self appointed expert believes. Regardless if you're playing it on the NGX or another system that makes you happy, the games are being played and enjoyed by someone. KOF, Metal Slug, Magician Lord (or whatever Neo Geo title you worship) is being seen and experienced in a way that brings a smile to someone else's face (and perhaps for the first time), and and THAT'S the point. It doesn't always have to impress you specifically.
(SIGH, This is one of the reasons why I so rarely post around here anymore. Seriously, it's a damn toy. Why let it bother you that much?)
I hear a bunch of whiny bitch noise. People didn't know exactly what it was before it even hit consumer hands? It was always going to be a fancy little emu handset, with a nice HDMI capable dock and an arcade stick.
Things aren't exactly the same as the AES/MVS experience? No shit!?!
The processor in your microwave runs faster than 12mhz these days. And uuuh, it has been doing so for about 10 years now. Technology has moved on. Take the X for what it is, a MAME box with a SNK logo(or a GCW Zero minus a few chips...). They weren't shooting for a next level comeback here. The rights holders took a flying stab at recognizing some revenue through some nostalgic adults.
Play it with your drunk friends and have a good time. Or just send it back and get a refund. Don't slam it because your nerd ass has actually had a real AES since the 90's. 99% of the general population wouldn't know the X from the AES if they played them side by side. Any friend worth their companionship would piss themselves giggling the second you told them you had a Neo Geo anyhow.
The truth is the hardware is very capable. The only limitations this thing faces are software. Once a community forms around it, its on.
Huge rant but I do agree there's a lot of hate flying around!!! I've had MVS, and AES collections...but I don't have the money to fork out anymore. Just loving my NeoGeo X Gold!
Careful with all that jelly, son.
My NeoGeo/Metal Slug gashapon sets have arrived... was thinking (a long shot but), it would be very cool if instead of say a standard clear SD card mini clamshell case like the one below, they formed a case in the shape of a mini AES cart with matching label. Similar to the NeoGeo gashapon set mini AES carts. Then to bump it up a notch yet again, provide a mini AES clamshell where the mini AES cart can rest. Yeah, yeah, yeah I know wishful thinking.
Standard mini clamshell that snugly fits an SD card:

Those are awesome man!
Can you please let me know of a place to order from?
I've been buying these since the original Nintendo History consoles. Thanks
NCSX has got'em Spoon for about 30 bucks. Definitely a nifty little Neo collectible.

This post is regarding the 4 credits per game "issue." I played Magician Lord through to completion and used like 30 continues! Is this supposed to be possible or is my NeoGeoX different in some way from the majority? I have a 370. Any other games have unlimited continues?
Know the difference between jelly and jam?
I can't jelly my dick up your ass.
I have a MVS. No jealousy here.
Magician Lord was given unlimited continues. Think there were a few others, the ones that don't display the credits on the bottom of the screen.

Why bother with this garbage then?
And sorry, no homo.
So after Toys R Us screwed me over and canceled my order on the 2 Neo-Geo X sticks back in December when they had the "buy 1 get 1 accessory 50% off deal" and never notified me about it
they made up by sending me a $50 promo code.. So I bought another stick for $7.77 after tax and shipping.
Not a bad deal, but I still hate TRU. :P
