SNK Officially Announces The Neo Geo Mini, An Adorable Arcade Throwback

Cool beans.

Awesome sauce..

Ice cream.

Based on the original versions of their consoles, I predict this will be about £600.

Guessing that if there are two versions of it that the games included on it may differ? If this is anywhere around the 100 pound range I’ll get it. Horrible feeling scalpers will be all over this

so is this going to kill the neogeo sales on switch? I will not buy another till this game line up is released and even then, since I have about 8 bought aleady, doubt I will buy... would love one too but cannot justify and as mentioned by others, knowing neogeo this will not be cheap...

I don't see it being much comfortable with that little screen and the tiny joystick, but as an extra feature of a small device it's nice.

I'm totally going to play it on my TV, let's see what resolution it packs, and specially... the price. More than 100 € would be too much for me, but knowing them I'm probably short.

Good thing I've been and I'll be buying only a bunch of ACA Neo Geo titles, because I wouldn't like to have them on both systems. Besides, if it's going to come with first entries, which I've been passing on mainly, it will be nice to have as many different games as possible.

Going to be another cheap and badly made 3rd party device/emulator, like all the licensed Megadrive "mini", and previous licensed NeoGeo clones*.

Not worth to look at it.

• Like the "Neo Geo X" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo_Geo_X )

Measurements from the link: W135ｍｍ×D108mm×H162ｍｍ／600ｇ

translates to inches

What the heck? I can't imagine using this on the go, it's too tiny! (and not in a GB Micro 'good' tiny) I hope those extra controllers are good, though, like the NGCD ones. All in all, I might pass on this entirely and stick to the Switch.

Even though the NeoGeo X sucks, it at least allowed you to play other physical copies of games aside from the ones that are already built in plus you can add your own too since that Dingoo is easy to hack. This thing however doesn't seem like you will be able to do much with it other than playing the 40 games it came with which will probably end up on Switch sooner or later anyways.

It looks horrible to play, and not actually that much like a mini arcade cabinet. I really don't like any of these mini consoles. I don't want a separate console hooked up to my TV for every old system. Just give us the games on Switch.

@RupeeClock SNK sued Tommo to stop making NeoGeo X and given ATGames poopy track record, I doubt they'd consider them. Here's hoping for in house production.

Good. At least the game list says TBA now instead of 20 different versions of The King of Monsters. Hopefully they will select games based on fan feedback.

Awful list if that rumor is what it ends up being.

Looks awesome, but sounds a tad too small to be used ptractically if not hooked up to a TV. Nice though, I may pick up this and the SNES Classic to sit nicely next to my Genesis Mini when that arrives.

@Mr_Pepperami i think the line up will be the same it will all be down to censorship like mai's boobies and the suicide bombers in metal slug

So my advice will be import if cheap enough mai's boobies need to bounce 😉

@Simondoo haha import it is. It’s all about the rack

So far so good!

Why Japan gets the awesome white version and we get the plain looking black version? Ughhh....

It looks great! Pity it's not a bit bigger, can't see it being practical to play in 'portable' mode.

That is cute, but I'll stick with the switch games.

This is too cool. Definitely planning on picking this up.

Nice, but to anyone who has ever used a NeoGeo joystick set up with a 2X2 button layout rather than the 4 buttons in a row. The buttons are in the wrong place, they've been turned 90 degree clockwise for some weird reason. Same with the controller too. This is going to annoy NeoGeo gamers big time!

@Savino There's HDMI output too BTW.

I love how they gave it a 4:3 monitor, a real novelty these days.

@Godzil That purely depends on who's manufacturing it. So far we have no idea, but the worrying thing is that there's a Chinese company that owns SNK, and it's very likely that they'll be the one manufacturing this. Thing is I've seen used any products from Leyou Industries, so at this point it's all up in the air. It'll depend on reviewers to voice an opinion to say if it's good or not.

@samuelvictor There's a controller that comes in the box that's made for multiplayer in it's tabletop form. But when it's attached to a TV, you can use the controller as player 1 rather than player 2. The controllers are white versions of the NeoGeo CD pads. But as I mentioned above, the buttons are not in the right place.

sigh Of course I like the Japanese design better...at least it'll be printed everywhere, regardless...

LCD = NO PURCHASE.

@Ubik Game lineup was released two weeks ago.

@samuelvictor SNK is now a chinese owned company, this is a chinese manufactured unit. The details have gone out the window as far as accuracy.

@liveswired At least they hit the right aspect ratio. Good luck finding a 3.5" CRT ever again, let alone in a budget mini-system.

@roadrunner343 they should've made a 3.5" CRT, just a cheap lazy cash in.

@liveswired at least try to be slightly clever in your trolling attempts. And if you're not trolling... Well, you should just save face and pretend you were trolling at this point.
