Imaginate Dreamlock

The **Imaginate Neo Reo** is a 9th generation video game console projected to be released by Imaginate and it is the third major video game console as the successor to the *Dreamlock* and *Unlimit*. Like the *Dreamlock*, Imaginate markets the system mostly as a hybrid console that can be played on the go, although players can play it at home on their TV screen.

It was officially announced on December 24th, 2019 and was released simultaneously on November 11th, 2020 in Japan, America, Europe, Australia and Canada.

## Features

The Neo Reo is a hybrid console in which players can play games on the TV with the main console or players can bring their gamepad on the go. The console even features a new online system in which players can play online for 3 months, 6 months, 9 months and a year for certain games that does have online compatibility.

It also bring back the FiGURE functionality from the Dreamlock and Unlimit where players can use the FiGURE to unlock in-game add-ons, give money to the players account, save data on a character and many more.

Sometimes when it is night or dark in a room or outside, the controller, console and gamepad can auto-shine its two sapphire (rose) and aqua colors from inside. Players can either leave it lighting up when turning it on or leave it off in the Settings App. Another thing about the controllers and the gamepad is that it supports USB-C.

The main cube-shaped console can support DVD/Blu-Ray discs, a feature that was most likely forgotten from the Dreamlock. It even have a SD slot for a SD card like the Dreamlock and the Unlimit. The console also have a controller scanner in which it can scan controllers that are trying to contact with the console. The read button above the console is where players can bring in or out the game/DVD disc. Simple

## Trivia

### **General**

* The Neo Reo is a 9th generation video game console.
	+ This is the third 9th generation console of the gaming industry. The first being the Nintendo Switch and the second being the Xbox Series X|S while the fourth is the PlayStation 5.

### **Games**

* This is the first ever Imaginate console to have a *Kingdom Hearts* game.
* *Scarlet Impact* was initially going to be on the Dreamlock. But since the Neo Reo has been announced, they dropped down the initial release for the Dreamlock and shift it over to the Neo Reo. It's unclear whether or not they could really release it on the Dreamlock for those who want to play *Scarlet Impact* on the previous console.
* While *Heroes K.O* is being planned to be released on the Neo Reo as a fighting game, Imaginate decided to have Bandai Namco publish *MHOJ2* on the Neo Reo for those who are thirsty for a fighting game on launch.
* *Persona 5 Royal* is on the Neo Reo because much to Imaginate's love for Atlus, they decided to port it on the console, along with its DLC.
* This is the second Imaginate console to launch with a *Heroes* game as a launch title. The first being the Imaginate Dreamlock with *Heroes Warriors* as a launch title.
* While *Cyberpunk 2077* is considered as a launch title, it will be released next month on December 10th because of, once again, another horrendous delay, much to every gamer's dismay.
