The Neo Geo Mascot??

[Yagyu Jubei]

OK, I was wondering who would be SNK's mascot? When we think of Nintendo, we think Mario (or maybe Pikachu now if you're really young). Sega, we think Sonic. Sony = Crash Bandicoot (if he was the mascot at all). Even the TurboDuo had Bonk.

So, SNK never had a mascot. Maybe because the Neo was the lone wolf of the gaming industry.

Who would you vote for as SNK's mascot? My vote would be Terry Bogard because he was such a ubiquitous figure in the Neo Fighters.

Any other choices? Kyo? Iori? Marco and Tarma? Anyone else?

I was placing bets with myself on who would be first to break out with the dog tag. You were all over that one http://www.neo-geo.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

I guess I should have clarified that I was looking for an actual video game character, like Terry. Maybe the dog is a hidden character in NITD....hehe.

A+ for effort DJB.

This mascot also makes a cameo in the original Fatal Fury (as the taxi driver that drops Terry off in the intro screen)

I guess Bobak, you can take that one step further and say that the little guy's face is on the "O" of the Japanese Neo Geo logo.

Does anyone know his name?

His name is G Mantle, or something along those lines. He is a secret striker in KoF2000.

He was also known as Mr. Neo back in the day. http://www.neo-geo.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

Mr. Neo, Mr. Neo-Geo... both names are him. I don't know why SNK calls him G. Mantle today, but they must have their reasons. http://www.neo-geo.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

Terry Bogard seems most like the Neo mascot. Hes the most immediately recognizable Neo charchter(at least to everyone I know).

Whenever I think of neogeo I always recognise TerryBogard.

[Big Bruno]

let's see if I remember this right

I think G. Mantle actually was in reference to one of the producers (if that what you call them) of the games and the character was his Sig.

first I heard of him was when I dug up on old blue's journey code and it showed where he was at. I do not really think his name was Mr. Neo Geo though. I just called him that because of the sign he was holding, never saw it written anywhere except in the BJ code which the author assumed the same thing.

I would be incline to think of Athena as some sort of the pop idol of SNk, with her annual costume change.
