Nice! I want more games!!!
I actually haven't even played Ninja Master's on Neo Geo X yet - I'm not crazy about the fact that I basically have to destroy the packaging to get to the game.

Seeing that review now reminds me of the way I felt (I alluded to some of it in the previous page of this thread) when I got this system.
I almost want to say that I kinda feel a little vindicated in that regard seeing as there are folks out there who really do feel that this is a great piece of gaming kit.

Just saw Ashens' review of the Neo Geo X. Looks pretty damn disappointing.
Wow. This video review was very informative. Many of the issues with this thing can clearly be seen from the video. (Shoddy build on the charge station that looks downright cheap, awkward audio on the games, screen tearing when played via HDMI). I don't know if I can see myself ever buying one of these units with such a price tag. I'd perhaps buy it for the same price that I'd purchased my NGPC/6 game blister pack bundle back in the day... (it cost me $50 bucks btw). Money well spent that was
Unless you're interested in the novelty or potential mod-ability, it probably makes more sense to pick up the SNK compilation that came out for the PS2 and Wii a while back. It might be missing a few games, but it can also be found for about $10 these days. Add in your choice of arcade stick and you're good to go.
Heck, you can pick up quite a few from "Neo Geo Station" on PSN when they go on sale and still come out ahead of the price tag on the NGX.
Licensed hardware or not, it's still emulation either way.
