[Running Wild]

I'm totally getting one of these.



Game Stop is taking pre-orders http://www.gamestop.com/elect/consoles/neogeo-x-gold/104733

Me too. Never thought I'd see that beauty in retail ever again, at least stateside.

this + extra stick = win

I hope i can give it to myself for christmas hehe

between the fact that you can buy a second stick and that you can buy more games I'm totally considering importing one

Neo Geo X GOLD Hands-On! Retro Classic Gaming RETURNS

[The Fluke]

i youtubed all the games that come with the console + ninja masters (preorder), and most games seem really good. King of the monsters for example seems like possible the most awesome wrestling game ever hehe. I hope they choose to release the double dragon fighting game later on, that game was so sweet ten years ago, i hope it would hold up.

I've got one on the way! I ordered it from Amazon using a bunch of credit I had there and then paid for overnight shipping. I am hyped!

[Running Wild]

Let us all know how it is nilcam. I'm curious to know how the parts in the sticks stack up, along with if there is anyway to change the region settings of the games. I don't really want green/white blood and no Mai bounce.

[nilcam]

From what I've read, you can change the region of the game in options. I'll be sure to let you know on Dec. 7!

[Running Wild]

If they release the original Real Bout Fatal Fury, must have topless ring out victory Mary!

bummer, i checked neogeox.com and it still says december 6 but then again, they probably don't care to update such stuff regularly. I'll still hope that it arrives at the 6th or 7th because i have that weekend off and want to enjoy the system. Not that i'd die from waiting another week or two.

Found this quote concerning the reason for the delay.

"I wanted to inform you that the NEOGEO X Gold System, worldwide release date is being delayed slightly. Although it will still be in December, we are awaiting the final date. The main reason is that the Micro Switch being used for the Arcade Stick, is from the original factory that made the Micro Switch for SNK twenty years ago. Their output of this key component has not been as fast as we had forecast."

I'll add the source when I find it.
