About

This system is the king of luxury video game consoles, The Neo Geo AES was a true arcade machine. Boasting actual arcade boards in it’s massive cartridges, this expensive beast came out with graphics and sound that blew the competition completely out of the water. The power came at a price, $650 to be exact! It came with two phenomenal arcade joysticks, and your choice of Magician Lord, Baseball Stars, or Nam 1975. Games were priced at a cool $200 a piece! Due to the price this system was mostly marketed to an elite group of gamers, but was supported longer than any other console commercially...until 2004. The system is most known for it’s robust fighting games, but the console also featured some great platform and shooter games as well. Several notable franchises came out on this system, such as Metal Slug, Samurai Showdown, and the legendary King of the Fighters series. The AES is region free and can play carts from any other country. A US console is considered rare,and very highly sought after. The Neo Geo is a expensive console to collect, but amazingly fun to play.
