First released as an arcade system and then two console models in the early 1990's, the Neo Geo's high price and relatively low adoption ensured its sales never reached the heights of more mainstream devices like those made by Nintendo and Sega, but the Neo Geo name still commands a strong cult following to this day due to its fantastic catalog of titles such asFatal Fury, King Of Fighters and Windjammers. Now, more than two decades after its initial release, the Neo Geo is to rise again, reborn as a portable gaming console with included dock and joystick.
The Neo Geo Advanced Entertainment System has been brought back to life as the Neo Geo X Gold by Tommo in partnership with SNK Playmore. It promises to offer the benefits of both portable and home-based gaming, with the device itself sporting a 4.3 inch LCD display, an expandable game card slot, internal stereo speakers and headphone jack.
