We really liked the SNK Neo Geo Mini when we took a look at it recently. This miniature retro arcade packs in 40 classic Neo Geo games and has a lovely 3.5-inch display; it's like a SNES Classic with the added bonus of portability, and it looks super cute on your desk as well.
We've just got word from UK retailer Funstock Retro - the same guys who kindly sourced our review sample - that it is planning to open pre-orders for the Internation Edition version of the SNK Neo Geo Mini this coming Monday (10th September).
If you're interested in picking one of these up, then head over to the pre-order registration page and pop in your email address. You'll get an email as soon as they go on sale, and Funstock is warning that it will be first come, first served situation with very limited stock.
We've no news about how much these will cost over here yet. Do you plan on picking up one of these bad boys? Let us know with a comment.

They really don't seem to want to tell us how much its going to cost.
Probably £99. It isn't really a portable though is it? It doesn't have a battery. I suppose it is a handheld. But not a portable.
Yes I need this.
Should Nintendo have said that the 'mini' was first come first served to avoid all the availability complaints.
Might try to score one next year.
They had better get rid of that "first come, first serve" nonsense.
Just look what that did to the first run of NES Classic Minis.
More people will want these, so I really, REALLY hope, that it isn't just going to be one single, limited run. I want one, but I can't buy one now, so I'd be dependent on whether or not they come to all countries in Europe (or at least where I live), and whether or not they'll meet demands, instead of not taking note of that at all.
If they don't, then this Neo Geo Mini is going to become just as rare and expensive as its bigger console brother, which would be an eternal shame...
as soon as i seen funstock im out
Can you... can you actually play on this?
It looks like it wouldn't be very comfortable to use.
I covet this.
I got the Japanese one, and will definitely get this one too. Just have to know if it'll be available in Australia or if I have to import it.
The more I saw it, the less impressed I was, but I do appreciate how they gave us a 4:3 display with this and I am still going to buy one just to put on a bar and mess around with on occasion.
