andriasang.comThat looks suspiciously like a cheap chinese iphone 4 rip off with a control pad added, so many things don't look quite right on it.
Is there any proof this is an officially licensed product?

The Japanese site Famicom Plaza is the only website that has "confirmed" it. Although the news of the handheld is being reported on other websites, they are just going off what Famicom Plaza has said. So we don't really know if its legit yet.

Why would they not ship it with SNK vs. Capcom: Card Fighters Clash?
Sidenote: I am pretty sure this is not official.

This. and this.
Oh my beloved akuma card.

Thank you. Did you put in countless hours into that game like I did?
2
Don't know about the others, but I did... countless hours in Battle-mode :D sucks living in Finland. I want a new NGPC back in my library, so bad (I've made many stupid decisions like this, and others that are not even related to the Pocket but PSone, and so on.)
Card Fighters, Metal Slug, SvC, such treats... some of the titles even "help me" in my next mission (learning enough japanese to go study it)
1
I'd buy it in a heartbeat if they'd include Match of the Millenium.
My guess is that they couldn't get permission from Capcom.
2
Seeing the Neo Geo logo again warms my heart
3
Metal Slug will live again!

The only reason I had a Neo Geo Color...man I miss that thing.

I will buy this if it has most, if not all, of the old Neo Geo games on it.
Any word on the price yet?
2
YEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS

Apple is going to shit a brick if this goes into production.

I already have or can purchase most of those games for my PSP. Looks cool, but I doubt I'd buy it.
1
Is there room in the market for this? The popular phones and handhelds (even DS, which surprised me, though development seems to be dead), and obviously the more obscure ones designed for emulators can run these games
1
If they put out a small line of limited collectors edition handhelds (like, 10,000) I could see it doing fairly well. I can't see it selling in mass quantity though. This is most likely fake or some cheap Chinese unlicensed pmp. It's kind of tragic.
1
If it's not a piece of shit, and has some good games for it, I'd certainly buy it. Hell, if it's cheap, then it is a no-brainer.
1
If the device is easily moddable (ie, it has/you can put linux on it or you have root access and can get emulators on there) I could see this thing selling quite well.
Slick design + games already on the system + all games ever = knockout product.
1
SD card support says it will be. Just give 'er time...
1
The DSi has SD card support and it hasn't been modded yet. Just saying.
2
Give it time ;D
2
Nope, it already has! Here goes some neat reading for ya :D
1
Except there's literally nothing for it.
1
OMG I would so buy that!
1
You made me sad now because just this week i lost my dingoo =(
1
No Legend of Success Joe? No WakuWaku7? Not even the isometric shooter Viewpoint? Doomed to fail.
1
Ffs those were Neo Geo games, not Neo Geo pocket color games.
1
If it has the ability to have KoF 98' added on at some point, then they can have my money.
"Following its first failed attempt with Neo Geo Pocket" Failed? I love mine.
1
If it uses the actual NGPC joystick, it would be on my list of must own. Although that game list needs to be touched up...
WTF: Baseball Stars Pro instead of Baseball Stars 2
KoF 94 instead of 97
SamSho 1 instead of 2
World of Heroes 1 instead of no World Heroes
Just give me this with only Last Blade 2 & Garou, and we'll call it even.
1
Why is the screen wide? Weren't all NeoGeo games 4:3?
1
"It's just a portable games device."
NO^^NO^^NO^^no^^no

Color me skeptic, but this looks like any other Chinese knockoff handheld emulation thingy. Where's the hard evidence that it's officially licensed?
Seriously, It looks like a iphone that has been changed around a bit. Anyways I'm very interested in this if it has both games and a justifiable price.
I want to believe.
I think the truth is probably out there...maybe.
It's an iPhone knockoff. But more than that it only comes with one analog stick. Even Nintendo was quickly forced to realize how gimped their system would be with such a limitation.
Umm, in what Neo Geo games did you need dual-analogs again..?
This is a portable arcade game machine essentially, with built-in SNK-games for the original Neo Geo Arcade System. One stick, 4 (or more..?) buttons. For fighting games, shooters (like R-type, Contra or topdown Commando-style), puzzle games like Puzzle De Pon which is a nice slightly tetris-like superfun puzzler. And so on.
It's not supposed to be a new console. Although I got my hopes up -_-
PS. I live in Finland. If anyone's interested selling me a working "NeoGeoPocket Color" with a few games. PM ME!
For retro gaming, one stick is usually enough, no?
Pretty sure this is meant to play new games. Otherwise you could just emulate it.
its not meant to play new games...did you read the article? it comes pre loaded with 20 old games....
Pretty sure you're dead wrong.
