Topic: NEOGEO X GOLD: The handheld and console in one!

[idolminds]

TLDR: Its not just a handheld. $200 gets you the handheld, the docking/charging station that plugs into your TV to turn it into a console, and the arcade stick to play from your couch.

Infos

Because I do!


The only way it could be better is if it ran Neo Geo Pocket games as well.

So sexy.

Very iPhoney.

I'd love one.. If only because I can't get a NeoGeo emulator on my PSP. In all fairness I do have the NeoGeo AllStars UMD though it lacks some noteworthy titles.

So awesome, I would love to have one if the price isn't absurd.

[idolminds]

Ok, this is pretty fucking awesome.

DO WANT

[Xessive]

I'm actually more attracted to it than I was before.

[Quemaqua]

Damn man. I can't afford it at that pricetag, but that's really cool.

[idolminds]

Yeah I do sorta hope they release a handheld-only version for cheaper. But maybe they are just aiming at collectors?

In either case, I don't think I'll buy one until we know whats up with getting more games on it. I wonder if it'll be as simple as dropping a formatted ROM onto the SD card (doubtful). And maybe someone will write a NEoGeo Pocket emulator for it...that would be cool.

[idolminds]

Well it turns out they are releasing the handheld by itself for cheaper. It'll be $130.
