Badass. Call me when KoF '96 is released for it. (Although Fatal Fury Special isn't a bad start either; but it does seem like they're trying to do a total relaunch/rehash of their entire history of games library).

What a perfect time to try to crack into the handheld industry!

So are they actually going to be making new titles for this? If so, fucking awesome and kickass. If not, kind of lame, and I don't really see that much of a point in a day and age where I can just load an emulator onto my PSP or DS if I want to play this stuff on the go. Not like much of the profits from this are going to be supporting the original devs, most of which have probably long left the company by now (right?)

Has it even been confirmed if this is real or not? I've seen it on a bunch of sites, but they all get the info from the same unconfirmed source.

I'd love if this was real, despite being able to get a Neo Geo emulator on just about everything today, I'd still pick this up Day 1 if the price was right, I love me some SNK product.

Another gripe is that they didn't put the whole library on it. As I mentioned, in this day and age, I could just pop a Neo Geo emulator onto my PSP with the whole library for free. If they really wanted to break my resolve on that, they should've put the whole damn library on it (Metal Slug 3 y u no there!?).

@Caruso: I can't really see them putting dedicated titles on this thing, but oh god, a man can dream right?

Yeah, the bankruptcy probably did that.

Is it me or does the handheld industry these days seems a lot different than before? Not exactly with what's out, but it's more...gimmicky. I just hope this NEO GEO Pocket Mk. II works out nicely. It looks more like it may get modern games judging by the wide screen...hopefully.

Yeah if this is just a Neogeo emulator (which is what it looks like seeing as none of the announced games are new) it's going to be little more than a gadget.

that's what i'm assuming it is, but if it's a cheap gadget with a clicky thumbstick i'd buy one

technology progresses too fast. i remember when it was $650 and i was like 'how am i ever gonna save up that much money!' (i never did, but i tried to)

younger people are pretty lucky to be able to play pretty much any game they want, any time they want; you could play a new game every hour 24 hours a day and never run out. whereas i got maybe 3 new games a year, and had to be happy with those 3 for the whole year. but i think this leads us to not play games in as much depth as we used to, so there's a trade-off

yeah i agree. these days a game has to be really exceptional in some way to hold my interest for longer than approx half an hour.

Yeah this became very apparent for me during the Steam holiday sales. I bought lots of games, I don't even remember all of what I bought. I've only played maybe half of them, and for only for 1 - 2 hours each.

a friend of mine was recently contacted by a Neo Geo developer about porting his game. I assume it was for this new system, but he would have to verify (if he wants) because I don't know all the facts.
