January 26, 2012Paul CollettNo Comments

The Neo Geo may have been the size of house back in the 90′s. and the games were even bigger (both in size and price) but now we are in a new age where anything can fit in your pocket.

And the Neo Geo is no different, according to a post on Famicom Plaza, there is a new Neo Geo handheld on the way and has some pretty good stats too. The new machine will boast a 4.3 inch display, 2GB of internal memory and will come pre-installed with 20 Neo Geo titles

World Heroes
Ultimate 11
Top Player’s Golf
Sengoku
NAM-1975
Mutation Nation
Last Resort
King of Monsters
Frenzy
Cyber Lip
Fatal Fury Special
Art of Fighting
Super Sidekicks
League Bowling
Metal Slug
Magician Lord
Baseball Stars Professional
Samurai Shodown
The King of Fighters ’94
Fatal Fury

Taking a look at the pictures, looks like the device will have a control pad (possibly analogue) four face buttons and four shoulder buttons, interestingly placed next to each other. It will also come with a 200mAH battery, AV port, SD memory card slot and headphones.

No price or release date has been set. Personally I think this is better looking than both the 3DS and Vita put together, taking a leaf out of Apple’s design book and making a machine that is properly handheld.
