Hi guys,

念入りに手洗いをする庵。 帰宅後や食事前の手洗いは大事ですね。 実際、一番真面目に手洗いやうがいをしているのは、彼だったりして…。 #StayHome

An heritage where you wash your hands carefully. It is important to wash your hands after returning home or before eating. In fact, he was the one who was most serious about washing hands and gargles ... #StayHome

Hi guys,

https://9to5toys.com/2020/05/19/neogeo-arcade-stick-controller-pro/

Amazon is now offering the NEOGEO Arcade Stick Pro Controller Pack for $99.99 shipped. Regularly up at $190, it has sat in the $160 range on Amazon for the last few months and is now at a new all-time low. Walmart’s listing is currently sitting at over $150 for comparison. Initially unveiled in September of last year, the NEOGEO Arcade Stick Pro is its own standalone gaming console/controller hybrid with 20 built-in SNK games. In joystick mode, in can be used as a controller for the NEOGEO mini console, Android devices, and on PC. However, this is the Pro Controller pack with HDMI and Gamelinq technology included so you can also use it on PS3, PS4, and Nintendo Switch. Rated 4+ stars from over 150 Amazon customers. Be sure to head over to our launch coverage for a closer and down below for additional details.

NEOGEO Arcade Stick Pro Controller comes with 20 games built-in, as mentioned above. Those include several King of Fighters titles, Fatal Fury 3, Samurai Shodown, Art of Fighting, The Last Blade 2, Ninja Masters, and most of the sequels for each. It is certainly a console focused on fighting games, if the joystick-style layout wasn’t already telling enough.

You can also transform the NEOGEO Arcade Stick Pro Controller into a 2-player console as well. Simply add a NEOGEO mini PAD to the mix (currently on sale for $10 at Amazon), and you’re ready to go. Along with the included HDMI cable, you have a full-on SNK fighting game console ready for multiplayer action and the big screen.

While we are talking retro gaming, the release date for Konami’s TurboGrafx-16 Mini is fast approaching, the SEGA Genesis Mini is still down at $50, and you’ll find plenty more gaming right here.

More on the NEOGEO Arcade Stick Pro:

  • Comes with arcade stick Pro, HDMI and gamelinq to use as a Controller for Sony PS3, PS4 and Nintendo Switch.
  • 20 Classic SNK fighting games. Ability to plug into a TV to play as a Console or Controller.
  • Controller support for PC, NEOGEO mini and Android. SNK electrostatic style joystick. With gamelinq can also connect to PS3, PS4 or Switch.
  • Compatible with NEOGEO gamepads and another arcade stick Pro
  • 720p HDMI output, 3.5mm audio out jack

Hi guys,

 

Back with Atariage member Jim from KidShoryuken. Here we see him playing a reviewing and playing Gatal Fury Special on the NGCD. Enjoy. ;-)

 

From the description,

"Taking a look at the third game in the legendary Fatal Fury series! Is it a worthy successor to the previous two games, or does it go beyond worthy into the realms of absolute superiority? You decide... but yes, yes it does."

The latest Xeno Crisis Kickstarter update is live with news on the Dreamcast and Neo Geo versions!
 

Belated update (May 2020)

user avatar
Mike TuckerCollaborator
May 19, 2020

Hey everyone, we hope you’re all doing ok in these difficult times, and that your health and livelihoods haven’t been affected significantly by the COVID-19 pandemic. We’re fortunate enough to be part of an industry that hasn’t taken too much of an impact, as people will always want something to entertain themselves whilst in lockdown. We have however had to spend some time restructuring the way we do things, relocating much of our setups to our respective homes so that we’ve been able to continue work on Xeno Crisis, but aside from that it’s business as usual for us!

Dreamcast version has gone gold!

7a7a07befedacaa623f13e31c5999376_origina

We’re sorry that this update has been delayed several times, but these updates often take a few days to put together and we thought we’d push on whilst the development of the Dreamcast version was going well, and the good news is that it has gone gold and has been sent for manufacturing! We’ve tested the gold build thoroughly on all of the Dreamcast variations we have, using a range of controllers and peripherals, and everything seems extremely solid - thanks in particular to Tom Charnock and Mike Phelan of The Dreamcast Junkyard for supplying us with various bits for testing. I’m sure many of you are keen to know how the game plays with the Dreamcast’s legendary HKT-7500 twin stick controller, so here’s a quick video that Mike shot at home on his Sony PVM 20L4:

 As mentioned in the video, the intro sequence now has a voice over recorded by George Exley who handled the other male voices in the game, and we’ve also made a slight tweak to the controls particularly for the benefit of twin stick users, which is that you can now roll whilst shooting - previously your roll would be cancelled if you tried shooting during a roll. A few people mentioned this after playing the Mega Drive / Genesis version and it felt like a change that we should make on the Dreamcast version where the 6-button control scheme is the standard. We’ve also been able to show the score and high-score in-game now, something that was only possible in the Mega Drive version when playing Infinite Mode due to tile limitations, although this feature can be toggled on / off: 

7cd6370b6e3ab12f7d1dddf8e83e72e1_origina

 Another nice feature is that the VMU displays your health throughout the game:

9c21c9904f16a3df55c1cb29b06bead6_origina

 You’ll also be pleased to know that Xeno Crisis works great on VGA monitors too:

eec77ea14085f7c6fad44d405c55f548_origina

 Next up we have the designs for the covers / manual and discs - as you can see, each region has its own design, which we felt was an important touch for Dreamcast collectors who collect for a particular region:

ffc244830c4909834a60fa912dec47e5_origina
38b67b73727621458ff1a036917e2686_origina

As with all of our products, we’ve tried to be as thorough with our Dreamcast implementation as we can be, implementing all the little details and then testing on a wide range of devices, controllers and third party products. Here is Xeno Crisis running on a GDEMU for example:

1c2d8f982673bc0a0cbc3cbb48994b1a_origina

 We will be providing GDI, CHD and CDI file ROM download options at release; these will be made available at the same time as we start shipping the physical CDs. If you have ordered a physical copy and need to update your address for delivery please contact us ASAP as we anticipate the manufactured CDs will get to us in about 3 weeks time.

Neo Geo versions nears completion!

The Neo Geo versions continue to make steady progress - we had to jump on the Dreamcast heavily this last month or so to finalise it, but now it’s complete we can focus all of our efforts on the Neo Geo. Fortunately our codebase shares a lot of common code and a number of the features and changes from the Mega Drive we implemented for Dreamcast also benefit the Neo Geo.

45a51a2fe9002d3bd7ff4563cf4c31e8_origina

 As with the Dreamcast version we’re making sure all of the extra details and features that are unique to Neo Geo games are in place and implemented properly. Little details like for example on the Neo Geo CD, we’ve implemented our own animated loading sequence, and the logo for the newer bios as found in the CD-Z and UniBios:

3278519ca9f5d5a5412324d5f1e57fe0_origina

As we’ve mentioned before we try to carry out extremely thorough testing where we can. For Neo Geo we’ve been actively buying one of every model AES, MVS and CD. We actually have 30 unique MVS model revisions now, although if you’ve got a spare MV1B-CHX we’d like to buy it to complete our set!

9d3f79321e062e5753cfa413b0c788fd_origina

We had at this point hoped to have ordered the PCBs, however in the final stages of testing our prototype with some continued soak testing we found a rare reset issue that would only occur on some models. We’re currently waiting for a prototype PCB revision to arrive, which we anticipate will solve the issue, and after some more testing we will then proceed with ordering all of the PCBs.

352d5bd9402f170a70172a35fbf42c23_origina

 For those of you that have ordered a Collector’s Edition for Neo Geo, we need to finalise hostage names and confirm your serial number. We will get an email to you soon, confirming what we have on record and giving you the opportunity to make any changes. Please look out for updates on social media confirming when this has been sent.

We’re also pleased to say we will be getting 2 versions of the Neo Geo CD manufactured one with JP and the other with US/EU release styling. We will also be in contact with those of you that placed a pre-order to confirm your preference.

On the subject of Neo Geo hardware, we were fortunate enough to have the amazing Simon Lock (https://twitter.com/A3rgan) fix some of our AES and MVS units for our QA phase - you can see some of his handiwork here:
https://twitter.com/A3rgan/status/1253159266070007809

Do get in touch with him through his website (https://aergan.wordpress.com/) if you have any retro hardware that needs some attention!

 We are proud to say we recently joined UKIE (the association for UK Interactive Entertainment), which will benefit us in a multitude of ways moving forward as we constantly aim to improve our operations.

3cf7b43241ba6105710236bda6e2856f_origina

 Those of you that have been following our updates over the last couple of years will know that Matt suffered a serious head injury back in June 2018, which left him suffering regular severe hemiplegic migraine attacks, leaving him unable to speak or walk properly. Whilst he is still not fully recovered he has been able to manage his condition much better in recent months. This has been made possible by the amazing work of the doctors at the National Migraine Centre: https://www.nationalmigrainecentre.org.uk

To help support the National Migraine Centre we will be launching an auction of a Mega Drive copy of Xeno Crisis signed by Henk, Matt and Mike, plus a bunch of other goodies thrown in. We will match the highest bid and all money will go to the National Migraine Centre. Please look out for the launch of the auction on social media soon!

Thanks!

Well I think that’s about it for this update - thank you all for your continued patience and support! Anyone wanting to order for Mega Drive or pre-order for Dreamcast/NeoGeo can do so through our online store here:

Take care everyone and we’ll be in touch soon!

Hi guys,
    sArAoQYO_bigger.jpgWario64@Wario64 5h   Neogeo Arcade Stick Pro Controller Pack - HDMI and Gamelinq (PS3, PS4, Switch Connectivity) Included is $99.99 on Amazon https://amzn.to/2yfrZa4       EYZLWy1U8AI-8fA?format=jpg&name=small   EYZLXffUwAA23ll?format=jpg&name=small Anthony
My friend recently bought one for full price. I asked him if he wanted to order another using my Amazon Prime account so he could return the other and save $90+. He says he only paid $150 and will just keep his instead. I pointed out that the difference is really more than $50 when you consider the Gamelinq. Odd, because he told me in January he wanted one to use it with PS4.

Anyway, after trying to help him I hadn't even considered if I wanted one or not. Turns out, I do, so I ordered this morning. :)

 For those of you that have ordered a Collector’s Edition for Neo Geo, we need to finalise hostage names and confirm your serial number. We will get an email to you soon, confirming what we have on record and giving you the opportunity to make any changes. Please look out for updates on social media confirming when this has been sent.

We’re also pleased to say we will be getting 2 versions of the Neo Geo CD manufactured one with JP and the other with US/EU release styling. We will also be in contact with those of you that placed a pre-order to confirm your preference.

On the subject of Neo Geo hardware, we were fortunate enough to have the amazing Simon Lock (https://twitter.com/A3rgan) fix some of our AES and MVS units for our QA phase - you can see some of his handiwork here:

Do get in touch with him through his website (https://aergan.wordpress.com/) if you have any retro hardware that needs some attention!

 Those of you that have been following our updates over the last couple of years will know that Matt suffered a serious head injury back in June 2018, which left him suffering regular severe hemiplegic migraine attacks, leaving him unable to speak or walk properly. Whilst he is still not fully recovered he has been able to manage his condition much better in recent months. This has been made possible by the amazing work of the doctors at the National Migraine Centre: https://www.nationalmigrainecentre.org.uk

To help support the National Migraine Centre we will be launching an auction of a Mega Drive copy of Xeno Crisis signed by Henk, Matt and Mike, plus a bunch of other goodies thrown in. We will match the highest bid and all money will go to the National Migraine Centre. Please look out for the launch of the auction on social media soon!

Thanks!

Well I think that’s about it for this update - thank you all for your continued patience and support! Anyone wanting to order for Mega Drive or pre-order for Dreamcast/NeoGeo can do so through our online store here:

Take care everyone and we’ll be in touch soon!

I wonder if their reset issue during the soak test is the same NEC LM2576 voltage regulator problem I had on an AES3-6. In my case it would cut off power for several seconds and reset the system when it got warm. Also touching it with your finger while operating would trigger it.

I added thermal compound and it would last several hours, making me think it was fixed. After looping all day I played through Fatal Fury Special and it reset during the final battle. Though it no longer reset when lightly touched, I could make it reset by pressing harder on the LM2576.

The replacement I ordered was a different brand (not NEC... maybe ST). It was rock-solid and never reset from heat or touch/pressure.

Anyway, I consider what I was doing with the faulty one after adding thernal compound a "soak test," which makes me think they are seeing something similar. There's just isn't as bad as mine yet. I reached out to their tech on Twitter but he hasn't reaponded. :(

Thanks for this. I got a second Mini just in case the softmod bricks the joystick on my original. Looks like that is no longer a concern. :)

I never took it out of the box. Steven here wanted one but they ran out of stock. If he still wants one, well, I now have an extra I don't need. Still interested,@Steven Pendleton ?
