SNK's New Neo Geo Console Will Boast "A Modern Design And Wonderful Play Feeling"

Earlier this year, SNK announced that it was working on new console hardware after the Neo Geo Mini had sold better than expected. Two new system variants were confirmed, and it was stressed that these would be 'new' and would be independent of the existing Neo Geo Mini system.

Today, the company has posted a tweet which reveals this Neo Geo hardware will offer "a modern design and a wonderful play feeling" and that it can "link it to NEOGEO Mini". This new system will apparently "provide you a NEOGEO journey that you have never experienced".

 

A Next-Gen NEOGEO hardware is coming after NEOGEO Mini.
With a modern design and a wonderful play feeling and you can even link it to NEOGEO Mini, the new hardware will provide you a NEOGEO journey that you have never expeirenced.

Stay tuned for more information!#SNK #NEOGEO

 
 
 
 

What could this mysterious new machine possibly be? The Neo Geo Mini line of systems has mined SNK's back catalogue fairly comprehensively, although there are a handful of Hyper Neo Geo 64 titles which could potentially be republished on a new mini-console. Could we see an all-in-one Neo Geo system which covers the company's entire history, including pre-Neo Geo arcade, Neo Geo, Hyper Neo Geo 64 and even Neo Geo Pocket?

However, it sounds like SNK is positioning this as a 'new' machine which will offer brand-new experiences, so it's really anyone's guess what form it will take. Perhaps SNK will follow a similar approach to Atari and its all-new VCS, or maybe it will create a console that's capable of rivalling the Switch, PS5 and next-gen Xbox? The latter seems unlikely given the incredible amount of investment involved, but who knows?

Let us know your prediction with a comment below.

I am hoping for some new games in long dormant series! Maybe a new Metal Slug, World Heroes, Blazing Star/Pulstar Reboot, or King of Fighters laced with all the classics from the original systems!

I agree Aaron. Really awesome. These are EVO exlusives and they happen to be Dog-Tag versions. 8^)

Wow, who would think that SNK would be back at EVO so soon after KOF XIV! Exclusive Dog-Tag versions sound awesome! I wish someone would do an unboxing to show off all the goodies!

Me too bro. I can't wait to see what SNK has in store for us. The suspense is really getting to me for sure. 8^)

If you want to play Cyber-Lip for score or just want to make the last stage as easy as possible, this twitter thread lists all of the possible boss door patterns

 

Left to right, rooms 1-4 on top and 5-8 on the bottom. Pattern 1: Room 1 = st.1 boss R2 = Reload R3 = st.4 boss R4 = Cyber-Lip R5 = st.3 boss R6 = st.5 boss R7 = st.4 boss R8 = st.6 boss

 

Pattern 2: R1 = st.5 boss R2 = st.1 boss R3 = st.4 boss R4 = st.6 boss R5 = Cyber-Lip R6 = Reload R7 = st.3 boss R8 = st.2 boss

 

Pattern 3: R1 = st.3 boss R2 = st.4 boss R3 = Cyber-Lip R4 = st.2 boss R5 = Reload R6 = st.6 boss R7 = st.1 boss R8 = st.5 boss

 

Pattern 4: R1 = st.1 boss R2 = st.5 boss R3 = st. 3 boss R4 = Reload R5 = st.4 boss R6 = st.2 boss R7 = st.6 boss R8 = Cyber-Lip

 

If you always go in door 7 first you will never get a duplicate stage, Cyber-Lip or a reload room so you can always tell which pattern you're on and then either play each boss for score or just grab the reload and head for Cyber-Lip for the easier clear

 

I think this bit's common knowledge by now but if you don't press anything on the elevator sections you will always trigger the extra stages for their extra scoring potential. If you press anything it's 50/50 if you trigger them or just move onto the next main stage.

I agree bro. In fact, Samurai Shodown has been well received by gamers and critics alike. Glad that the company is back on the right track with King of Fighters XIV as well. 8^)

Hi guys,

 
#SNK #NEOGEO #AES 5V model in for repairs. System has started misbehaving on loading games. Advised new PSU, issue went away then came back with a vengeance. Let's have a look:

The game supplied to test with was a loose copy of Magician Lord that hasn't been very well maintained before being received by the current owner. Cleaned and buffed out the sanding marks from whatever misuse had occurred before.

Well, not just that then
 
Inside we go! Gentle pass with hot air station at 100°C to remove the feet without damage. Inside we can see a UniBIOS has been fitted. Don't suspect that is the issue.

Issue definitely RAM, checked the bank at the north of the board, no issue. Then checked the bank next to the reset switch; behaviour changed when warming / cooling. Under microscope we have 3 pins that have not been factory soldered correctly. Rework completed, AES happy.

All good here
 
System is back with its owner to be enjoyed :)

Hi guys,

 
Another #SNK #NEOGEO #AES 5V model in for repairs. This one was supplied as not working. No short detected but watchdog timer kicks in on boot. Looking inside, there's definitely something going on here - diagnostic BIOS installed and tethered to the board for 5V, fun.

Desoldering the socket and it's having none of it. Several through hole vias are no longer with us, trace damage and a socket that was never intended by the installer to be removed ever again. Getting some microscope practice in.

Broken traces mapped out and rainbow kynar wire repair begins. Found an extra trace that was acting resistive, jumpered with black kynar.

All good here
