It comes with the big ass controller, console and the handheld all for £140 and as for the games I could either play them via an SD Card or the original big cartridges.

But here's the thing, while I want to own one for the purpose of collecting I never knew about it in the 90's as it was mostly about Nintendo, Sega and pirated cart consoles so I'm undecided whether I should. As a gamer I never got to try it out although I want to.

I saw a used one on CeX for £145 and that's just absurd considering a brand new one costs less than that on eBay and with free shipping.

No, it's an actual piece of shit. It uses an emulator to run the fucking games (FBA IIRC). If you want to play Neo Geo on your telly, use a computer hooked up to your tv. If you want Neo Geo on the go, use a PSP or something.

The Neo Geo X is an overpriced piece of shit and colossal waste of money.

No. The handheld is the console. He must be placed inside the console if you want to play on a TV. AND no... you can't run the original big cartridges, there is simply no slot for it.

Nonsense.

Why are the games "fucking"?

No. Not at all. For the handheld, the Arcade Stick (who can also be used on a PC), the games an the console cabinet, the price is OK.

Wait, it doesn't play the big cartridges? I had thought so because of that big slot but since it doesn't, that just dropped my interest if I ever came across them.

TL; DW
- Handheld has a 16:9 screen for a 4:3 system. You can change the ratio, but black bands.
- Audio is slightly off
- Choice of preinstalled games could've been better
- Fingerprints

I too think a PC is a far better alternative.
