Back in April, SNK announced that they would be releasing a throwback console to celebrate the company's 40th anniversary. Now, we've gotten our first look at the newly revealed Neo Geo Mini. The little piece of hardware will consist of a 3.5 LCD screen, an HDMI-out slot, a headphone jack, and two controller ports, while weighing 600 grams. Also included are 40 different Neo Geo games, although specifics weren't mentioned outside of the pictured games, which are Metal Slug I and II, Fatal Fury 1 and 2, The King of Fighters '97 and '98, Samurai Showdown V Special, and Samurai Showdown II. Currently, there is also no release window or price. SNK is also releasing a compilation game package for the Switch.

looks cool! I may just pick one up upon release

 

[Stremon]

3.5 screen? Is that official info or just the leaked ones? because compared to the size of the HDMI port on the back, 3.5 seems smaller than those images

 

[europat]

It's very complicate to do a Switch package LOL

 

[RedoLane]

SNK has won the race!
Remember when Mini consoles needed an actual TV screen?
Fear not! Because Neo Geo Mini includes the screen itself!

 

[Kioku]

Aiight, this wins it for me. Forget you Atari!

 

[CeeDee]

Ooh, this one actually looks kinda cool. It's got its own screen.

 

[Viri]

Now if only Sega could do something like that, and stop hiring AT Games.

Interesting to see if that thing could be hacked. Having a little arcade machine with emulators on it would be pretty useful. If not just loading more neo geo games on it would be great too. I really hope it has Metal Slug 3

 

[Veho]

Awww, it's cute

If the form factor of that image is anything to go by, I'm imagining a small tabletop MVS-type cabinet that can play both MVS and AES Neo Geo games.

It'd be a good way to stand out from all the other throwback "emulator in a box" consoles being released lately.

Heh, called it. Though, given that teaser image from the last thread, who really thought it would be anything else?

 

[Sonic Angel Knight]

Yeah... how is anyone supposed to play two players? A link cable?

Sorry, I know is kinda interesting but most of the games are 5 versions of King of fighters, 3 samurai showdown, 2 fatal fury, (All fighting games by the way) and like a million metal slug games.

Rather go with the switch neo geo collection, least it has cheaper price and more controller options and even NES exclusive crystalis.

 

[DKB]

Haha, that's cute.

 

[Clydefrosch]

i dont believe this can be played comfortably at all

I call it the next gen Vectrex!

 

[pedro702]

i can see this costing alot of money since it has a screen and such, also its a shame no tv connection?

 

[tech3475]

Is this an official announcement or from the supposed leaked? Because if the latter I heard it may be fake.

Looks easier to use the controls as a portable than to use it as an arcade machine.

As cool as this is, I think it would have been cooler, if it was actually designed as a handheld.

Make a full size model with a 15" + screen and you can have my money for fucks sake!
