People should read the article properly before speculating on price - this is being made by Blaze, who previously made those 20-in-1 Genesis III machines, it's not manufactured by SNK, just licensed by them.
I think it's very cool, and if it's sub $100 and plays NGP games too I might get one, but I have all the built in games emulated perfectly already on my original XBOX, so it needs to be reasonable. These are old games, and that has to be considered by Blaze when pricing the thing.

The article I posted was a direct response from MVC to the one you did. I don't know which source is correct, and I hope it's not MVC, but this does not prove it either way.
Okay... but $660 is pretty ridiculous for a gaming console... especially a handheld. I really doubt it'll cost that much.
Also, notice that the article I posted says "UPDATE: A spokesperson for Blaze has told Eurogamer that the £500 price tag suggested in MCV's story is incorrect." Your article probably responded to the one I posted before the update.
Agreed... It'd pretty much be the only thing keeping me from buying one. It's not like I don't have a couple of handhelds that already do a fine job of emulating the NeoGeo... Sub $100 and I'd be all over it. Over $100 but sub $200, I might still consider it. But at what the current articles are suggesting I can not justify not continuing to play them on my DS or PSP for my on the go needs.
As has been pointed out, they're trying to sell the thing for damn near what the original console cost. Of course if you count the games (which used to sell at ~$200 a pop), I suppose it's a real bargain... Only it's not, because I bought the MVS collection for ~$20 for my Wii.
Please, Blaze, don't be stupid. Please?!?

That's because they were basically identical to the Arcade games, to the point where with a certain adapter you could play the Arcade cartridges on the home console. The prices went down when the Neo Geo CD was released and the games were re-released on CD's which were obviously much cheaper.

it would be funny if this was actually manufactured by chinachip and released by blaze, making it a rebranded dingoo/gemei running the same emu as the rest.
this system would have to be really nice if they expect to get that price. a perfect lcd with no fading, perfect emulation, perfect buttons, 2-player local wifi options, emu/homebrew support out of the box, documented hardware and an sdk, etc. guess we will wait and see what the reviews have to say about it.

If it's more than $100 it'll bomb. Fact.
Especially since I'm pretty sure that it's really similiar to the Dingoo, and it shouldn't cost more than 60$.

I hope it comes with a 320×224 display for true 1:1 graphics.
I'd hate to have some weird 480x272 or similar only to have an half assed stretched and blurry picture.
I like the design a lot, but ultimately , it'll come down to the display quality.

@
TwoSpikedHands:
yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done -
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?

Sicklyboy:
@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one

@
Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version

@
TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!

@
TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though

@
The Real Jdbye:
@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -
