Overview
- PLAION and SNK announced the Neo Geo AES+ on Thursday with a November 12 release date and a $249.99 starting price.
- The company says the console is a 1:1 silicon remake using re-engineered ASIC chips rather than emulation or FPGA replication.
- The system outputs low-latency 1080p over HDMI and also supports RGB and composite for CRTs, with stereo audio, DIP switches, memory cards, and 15‑pin wired or wireless controllers.
- It natively runs original and new AES cartridges, with day-one releases such as Metal Slug, The King of Fighters 2002, Garou: Mark of the Wolves, Pulstar, and more.
- Buyers can choose a white Anniversary Edition at $349.99 with Metal Slug included or a $999.99 Ultimate bundle with 10 games and accessories, while reviewers plan hands-on tests to verify the hardware claims.
