I am fully aware that I will be flamed to death for this one.
I was at the Classic Gaming Expo and discovered something interesting at the NGF booth, they have every proto that they clamed to have. The even took one apart to prove that it was real. I am having trouble remembering exactly what carts were there (I took a red-eye home this morning and am still a bit groggy), but here is what I remember them having:
Iron Clad AES
Pocket Station (allows you to play NGPC games on an AES. I would've bought a home system if this came out)
2 different Neo Geo modems
an unreleased NGPC package (came with new style NGPC and some gambling game)
pre production All About SNK books
Neo Geo World mat
assorted food items from Neo Geo World
One of those devolopment things that allows you to play Game Boy Color games on an N64 (not neo, but still cool)
an unreleased cart that they only sell to people who have ordered most everything else from them (unfortunately I can't remember the title right now)
It's too bad there wasn't enough room to put a TV in and play these <IMG SRC="smilies/frown.gif" border="0">
They also seemed like rather nice people who wouldn't pull the crap that people claim they pull.
From the amount of protos, and the package they showed me that was sent to NGF from SNK, I'm pretty sure their SNK connections are real. Neo Geo Freak is a good company that doesn't deserve the crap it gets.
