Neo Geo
Neo Geo is a family of video game hardware developed by SNK.
On the market from 1990 to 2004, the brand originated with the release of an arcade system, the Neo Geo MVS and its home console counterpart, the Neo Geo AES.
Both the arcade system and console were powerful for the time and the AES allows for perfect compatibility of games released for the MVS.
However, the high price for both the AES console and its games prevented it from directly competing with its contemporaries, the Sega Genesis, Super NES, and TurboGrafx- 16.
However, the MVS arcade became very successful in stores in Japan and North America.
Years later, SNK released the Neo Geo CD, a more cost-effective console with games released on compact discs.
The console was met with limited success, due in part to its slow CD- ROM drive.
In an attempt to compete with increasingly popular 3 D games, SNK released the Hyper Neo Geo 64 arcade system in 1997 as the successor to its aging MVS.
The system did not fare well and only a few games were released for it.
A planned home console based on the hardware was never released.
SNK later extended the brand by releasing two handheld consoles, the Neo Geo Pocket, and later Neo Geo Pocket Color, which briefly competed with Nintendo's Game Boy.
Soon after their release, SNK encountered various legal and financial issues- however, the original Neo Geo MVS and AES continued getting new games under new ownership until officially being discontinued in 2004, ending the brand.
Regardless of the failure of later Neo Geo hardware, games for the original MVS and AES have been well received.
The system spawned several long- running and critically acclaimed series, mostly 2 D fighters, including" Fatal FuryArt of FightingSamurai Shodown" and" The King of Fighters", as well as popular games in other genres such as the" Metal Slug" and" Baseball Stars" series.
In December 2012, SNK Playmore released a handheld console based on the original AES, the Neo Geo X.
As of March 1997, the Neo Geo had sold 980,000 units worldwide.
The Neo Geo Pocket Color also has been given praise for multiple innovations, and a very substantial library, despite its short life.
SNK debuted new hardware; the Neo Geo Mini, which features a collection of popular Neo Geo titles as part of its 40th anniversary celebration, the company announced.
" This year, SNK celebrates 40th[ SIC] anniversary," the company said in a tweet.
" It is with gratitude towards the fans who have supported SNK's titles, including" The King of Fighters Fatal FurySamurai Shodown" and" Metal Slug", that we introduce a new game machine that compiles the popular titles of Neo Geo!
Please look forward to it The Future Is Now!"

Neo Geo (system)
The, stylised as NEO ・ GEO, also written as NEOGEO, is a cartridge- based arcade system board and fourth- generation home video game console released on April 26, 1990, by Japanese game company SNK Corporation.
It was the first system in SNK's Neo Geo family.
The Neo Geo was marketed as 24- bit; its CPU is technically a 16/32- bit 68000- based system with an 8/16- bit Z80 coprocessor, while its GPU chipset has a 24- bit graphics data bus.
The Neo Geo originally launched as the MVS( Multi Video System) coin -operated arcade machine.
The MVS offers owners the ability to put up to six different cartridges into a single cabinet, a unique feature that was also a key economic consideration for operators with limited floorspace, as well as saving money long- term.
With its games stored on self- contained cartridges, a game cabinet can be exchanged for a different game title by swapping the game's ROM cartridge and cabinet artwork.
A home console version was also made, called AES( Advanced Entertainment System).
It was originally launched as a rental console for video game stores in Japan( called Neo Geo Rental System), with it s high price causing SNK not to release it for home use – this was later reversed due to high demand and it came into the market as a luxury console.
The AES had the same raw specs as the MVS and had full compatibility, thus managed to bring a true arcade experience to home users.
The Neo Geo was revived along with the brand overall in December 2012 through the introduction of the Neo Geo X handheld and home system.
The Neo Geo was a very powerful system when released, more powerful than any video game console at the time, and many arcade systems such as rival Capcom's CPS, which did not surpass it until the CP System II in 1993.
The Neo Geo MVS was a success during the 1990s due to the cabinet's low cost, six ROM slots, and compact size.
Several successful video game series were released for the platform, such as" Fatal FuryArt of FightingSamurai Shodown The King of Fighters" and" Metal Slug".
The AES had a very niche market in Japan, though sales were very low in the U.S. due to its high price for both the hardware and software; but it has since gained a cult following and is now considered a collectable.
Neo Geo hardware production lasted seven years, discontinued in 1997, whereas game software production lasted until 2004, making Neo Geo the longest supported arcade system of all time.
The AES console was succeeded by the Neo Geo CD and the MVS arcade by the Hyper Neo Geo 64.
As of March 1997, the Neo Geo and the Neo Geo CD combined had sold 980,000 units worldwide.
In 2009, the Neo Geo was ranked 19th out of the 25 best video game consoles of all time by video game website IGN.
