New, next gen Neo Geo Hardware

SNK is entering the console race for Gen 9. What exactly is prompting all those nobody companies to announce consoles?

they can barely afford to make video games, how the heck do they think they can pull this off?

its probably just another mini console but bigger

It's probably an arcade stick
>Next-Gen
It's a buzzword that can be applied to anything it doesn't necessarily have to be a console

Probably license everything out to a third party manufacturer.

I guess it is a better emulator, but I don't really get why'd they'd need it as the mini works fine.

It might include or be built into one. But they already do deals with stick manufacturers. Calling that alone a Neo Geo would make no sense

Just another retro console. Nothing to see here.

Anyone who thinks that this is anything more is mentally challenged.

>What exactly is prompting videp game companies to announce video game consoles
I know right? We should have more entertainment and hardware conglomerates entering the race. It's inconceivable that video game companies would make video game consoles. This has never happened before in the history of the industry. Me personally? I think Apple should try again. Let's also get Samsung into the mix.

Can't wait for Metal Slug 3d.

That already happened years ago and it was total ass.

I think you're underestimating how difficult it is to make a console.

SNK can barely affort to scrape together a budget to a single video game. Trying to put out a console on the market under these circumstances is very strange at best, completely idiotic at worst.

Its just another rom emulator for the old arcade board, not a next gen console

All I hope is that they don't blow all their money before releasing the metal slug they announced

I know.

If Intellivision Amicuck can do it, so can SNK.

Honestly off the shelf computer parts or ARM tech are viable compoents. They can do literally just that. The incentives would be that they're more affordable to work with than the other guys since Nintendo has certain provisos that developers aren't so keen about even if their grass is greener than Sony's.

Video games have become too large for actual video game companies. It's the reason why the big names are not associated exclusively with video games and Nintendo is a relic of the past that cannot compete symmetrically.

Like the other user said, they could just license everything out to a 3rd party manufacturer. Plus, odds are it isn't going to be a mid-tier PC clone like PS4 and bone. Probably something really cheap to develop that's weak.

Even if they fail miserably I want more video game companies making video game consoles. Someone other than banks, or whoever the hell else decides to join.

Is it also going to be $599 with $599 games?

Nintendo Switch is selling more than Xbone on a weekly basis. It's going to outsell bone's lifetime sales very soon. Also Nintendo's handhelds consistently beat the Mucrosoft's hardware. Nintendo is proof that vidya companies can make the industry great again. Fuck your Jewish conglomerates.

I don't think there is enough point if they don't have the proper funds to actually compete with the ps4 and the bone, or fuck even with the switch.
The best scenario I can see is that they manage to put something mediocre out. Ok good, then what? What will be the point if nobody will buy it because why would they do that when they can just get better consoles instead?
Aside from sticking it to "big business and banks" fuck yeah, I don't see much of value in this.

It's just an nvidia shield that comes with a dock. They've even said before that they aren't directly competing with ms/sony in the console market. They really aren't competing, they're just finding their own markets.

STOP
STOP MAKING ALL THESE FUCKING STUPID CONSOLES
God I'm sick of it. NOBODY NEEDS MORE SHITTY 90'S BEAT EM UPS AND PLATFORMER SHOOTERS.
What's the FUCKING point of having ANOTHER device that plays the SAME Metal Slug, this time for TWO HUNDRED FUCKING DOLLARS
It wasn't okay when NINTENDO did it. It wasn't okay when SEGA did it. It wasn't okay when FUCKING CAPCOM did it. It's NOT OKAY when NEO GEO does it for the MILLIONTH TIME.
STOP

It's going to be a box that plays only a handful of remade older games and if it plays anything else it'll be a port machine.

>people think that snk has the funds develop a fucking console
It's not as easy as buying shit from pcpartpicker. The only option for them is just an android box.

user what is even your issue? If you don't want them don't buy them, they don't affect you in any way at all.

If they make enough bread from the classic maybe they can afford to develop a proper console in the future. I don't really see a downside for us at least. If you don't like it, don't buy it. If it does turn out to be good then it encourages more vidya businesses to enter the race. If it doesn't, then they will figure it isn't a good investment and it will diacourage shitters from trying.

Basically, even if it is bad for SNK, we as consumers basically lose nothing if they enter. It can't hurt us is what I'm saying. Unless there are some console warriors in here that feel threatened by SNK of all companies.

They've done this shit twice already. First was the the Neo Geo X, which was bad. Then they made the Neo Geo Mini, which was even worse. Why do they keep trying?

>hen they made the Neo Geo Mini, which was even worse.
What? The mini is really good

And Xbone and PS4 are just low tier PCs. What's your point? This Nvidia shield is thriving. Nintendo is anything by a relic at this point. It's getting the most third party support it's recieved since SNES, and is selling more units than Xbone, a non-vidya company.

I feel like people have no idea what the fuck current SNK is like and just say shit like this. SNK has Chinese conglomerate backing and has been making a fuck ton on mobile games and licensing. They've got plenty of money right now and a parent company who is interested in expanding SNK as much as possible.

I'm not saying they shouldn't and it would be bad for the consumer or that it's a bad thing.
I'm saying it makes no sense and I have no idea why they would do that if they can't even afford to budget a video game, and ultimately there will be no real value to the customer with that console either.

By all means they should do it if they really want to, it's just like looking at people sitting in a car driving with 300km/h approaching solid conceret wall. Sure, they can do it it's their kink, but...why.

>they don't affect you
They affect me mentally because it's painful to see these comapnies waste time and money that could go towards GAMES that are NEW and actually good. Not the same shit sold in a 200 dollar package.

Honestly I don't know. It's not like they negatively impact the main console market. The casuals here still get their FIFA and CoD so what's the deal?

You're an idiot if you think any of these products have any impact on regular game development.

Are you, I daresay...."Triggered"?

How much do any of us in here even know about SNK's financial state? I'm hearing some anons here claim they're actually in a good position, as well as being back by major conglomerates, while others are saying SNK is bankrupt or junk status.

I know they haven't made another Metal Slug in a while, but maybe they're focusing their resources elsewhere?

All I know is that it was a miracluous fluke they didn't went under by KOF13 actually turning out decent despite the odds. Their 3D games looks like 10+ years behind in technology, all fogriven because apparently they have no money.
If they actually have money and the best they can do is KOF14 and Samurai Shodown tier, then I kinda feel sorry for them.

>How much do any of us in here even know about SNK's financial state?
They're doing okay but nothing amazing. Since 14 they haven't had a failure but they also haven't had a huge hit. They have stated they want to grow to AAA size though.

>they didn't went under by KOF13 actually turning out decent despite the odds
13 was a huge loss for them, which is when they got bought out by the Chinese. Unlike 13, 14 was actually a financial success and Heroines sold 300k which is good for what it was. 14 looked bad cause of inexperience mostly, Heroines was just a side thing but improved a tiny bit and Samsho was a huge step up. If Samsho had come first the whole SNK can't into 3D thing wouldn't be brought up.

I've seen and heard some terrible things about it, like how its HDMI out is god awful.

Neo Geo X was licensed and they pulled the license once the final product was shit.

>nostalgia feels activated

Kula in smash confirmed?

>neogeo
>nobody company
The neogeo was great, one of the best arcade machines ever.

Dude that leaked DQ Hero with XI as default and III alt on 5ch said he heard about Nakoruru getting in

If only they located the original files of Garou sequel that was halfway finished to release it as an "exclusive" game

> how the heck do they think they can pull this off?
They have been sold to some chinese corporation.

What if they did?

Gonna guess it can emulate Atomiswave/Taito so XI, NGBC and KoF 2002UM are playable

Where art thou Metal slug sequel?

>It's going to outsell bone's lifetime sales very soon

It already has.

Why are you OK with your precious corporations making shitty consoles that no one buys (Xbone, Wii U), but not OK with an actual video game company making an actual video game console?
