A new miniature arcade with 40 games. A mini console retro plus, one! After the NES, the Super Nintendo, the Megadrive or the Commodore 64, it is the turn of the Neo Geo to come out in a compact version. A little digest of the arcade of the 90s, in a format for the least original.
The SNK took advantage of the E3 2018 to officially present its Neo Geo Mini. Unlike most re-releases of retro consoles, which reflect as closely as possible the look of the original machine, the Neo Geo Mini does not look like the Neo Geo AES released in 1990 or even the Neo Geo CD appeared in 1994. We are here facing a miniaturized arcade, including a 3.5-inch LCD, a joystick and four action buttons.
So it's an all-in-one console that we offer SNK, and you can play a game of Metal Slug or King of Fightersjust about anywhere, as long as you have a nearby power outlet or an external battery. Powered via a USB-C port, it also has an HDMI output and two ports for joysticks. The latter, a priori sold in addition, take the design of the controllers of the Neo Geo CD, but with the possibility to directly access the game selection menu and backup functions directly via a combination of keys.
As for the games catalog, the Neo Geo Mini has 40 titles, but the list differs according to the region of the world. We must know that two versions of the console will be proposed: one for Japan, including many fighting games, and the other for the rest of the world, which focuses on more variety. Of the 40 games included, 14 are exclusive to each of the two models. SNK has not yet given a specific release date for its retro console, except "this summer for Japan, and later in the rest of the world."
