Neo Geo Reborn as Neo Geo X Gold

Are you a Neo Geo fan with way too much money and extra closet space? Well then, good news! Tommo Inc has partnered with SNK Playmore to celebrate the Neo Geo's 20th anniversary and create the Neo Geo X Gold - a revamped Neo Geo handheld that's releasing internationally this December.

The Neo Geo X Gold isn't just a handheld, but a handheld that comes with massive plastic joystick and a console station that you can plug your handheld into so you can play hits from 1995 on your television.

The handheld has a 4.3" LCD display, game card slot, speakers and a 3.5 mm headphone jack. The station has HDMI and A/V out. The joystick has buttons.

…Much more affordable and convenient...

The Neo Geo also comes with 20 pre-loaded games, including such hits as:

  • Fatal Fury
  • Fatal Fury Special
  • King of Fighters '95
  • World Heroes Perfect

All this for just $200! Wait, what?

"Great game consoles don't die; they're just reborn in much more affordable and convenient packages," said Tommo CEO Jonathan Wan, apparently unironically.
