It'd be nice of AES consoles were produced again.
- Thread starter TriShield
- Start date
The sad thing is, it would be dirt cheap to produce as they already have the molds designs etc - the reason the AES was exspensive in the first place was two part - A. very exspensive parts to build it B. the limited production. However, today, w/ ram being dirt cheap and so is the Z80, I would imagine it could be built fairly cheaply.
However, I'd still rather see a new neo cd.

Big problem would be that mainstream america just plain wouldnt want it , the average gamer would see the games and turn thier nose up at the graphics before even thinking of playing it.
Sad but true , in this day and age graphics come before gameplay for most gamers , this is part of the reason the arcades are dying here as well. We used to look to them for the cutting edge of graphics/gaming progression , now thats happening in your home along side the arcades.
Neat idea but just about zero possibillity of it ever being feasible.

That's really not a bad idea and every one else posted some really good points but how do they expect to sell and create more of a demand when the system they sell it on the AES is longer in production?? I'm with you Trishield a new system would:rock:
The original system wasn't meant for mainstream gamers, why would a rerelease/revamp be marketed any differently?
The Neo always catered to the hardcore gamer crowd who wanted the real arcade games at home, not ports to 16-bit systems, etc.
I'd be willing to pay up $400 or so for a brand new AES console with two controllers and no game.
I'm sure a run of 500 new consoles would likely sell out to the people on this board, and gaming enthusiasts who have never had one before.

How about they just make the system for the underground mainstream, like they do for us already, thanks to Shawn and everyone?

Getting into the console market right now is like jumping into a fucking shark feeding frenzy.
When you see great systems like the DC pull out of the market and do the smart thing just developing games for other systems, Playmore should just do what they're doing right now, developing good games, sort of. I mean, of couse I would love to see new AES systems in circulation again, but it wouldn't be good for the company at this moment.

I actually e-mailed PLAYMORE about a year or so ago and asked them if they had any plans to produce more AES's...
Their reply was a curt 'no'.

That is a very good idea but why not use the same technology as the Hyper 64? So basically, it would be a Hyper 64 made to look like a normal AES with better styling. They could also include the AES's arcade-like joypad with added features of the X-Arcade. Instead of 3d games, they could only release 2d games on this Hyper 64 technology.
ALL THIS=very cheap. buttrock
Also as someone else said, they could market this to mainstream and hardcore gamers as not a next-gen or all-new SNES type system, but instead as the ultimate 2d-gaming machine just like how auto tuners and individuals market old, rebuilt hot-rods. =very cheap marketing/advertising buttrock .

There are over 5500 people registered on this message board...I'd say Playmore has a nice little niche market going for this sort of thing...
Oh well, if they won't make new AES systems...then can't they at least make new Memory Cards?!?
Bring back the Memory Card Playmore!!

Even if everyone here, 5500 bought the new system, that's a freaking low amount of sales to even survive in the market right now. Sales for the major consoles right now go for the millions, and even that's not good enough because they're still losing money.
Console companies make up for the loss in revenue from consoles with games. Like Atrophyed said, most of the people on this board either have one already or have an MVS, or are just for teh drama.

Nice breakdown..
I would just like to state that you should never base anything on the #'s registered to this site but if you still care to go with a set figure, 1500 ACTIVE/LURKERS combined would be most appropriate to base your study on.
In all seriousness,the # of people does not really matter.Only a few investors need apply with the $$$ to get the ball rolling on such a project. The investor(s) become the employer of the contractors but those investors must give money up front.
Investors, nine times out of ten have intentions of turning a profit a certain amount over their investment dollars and would be competing with the resale market and 3D,complex format consoles which would amount to
NOT GONNA HAPPEN
Unless that one investor out of ten has money to burn and does'nt mind sitting on a warehouse full of NGH systems.-BB

Should we make a member guide too?
I think instead of being
500 Rom Whores you should add a + to it because
sometimes it seems we have more than 1,000.
lol lol lol lol

Actually its almost bad when systems sell so much since systems almost always sans Nintendo hardware, lose cash for each unit sold. The point is to sell the hardware and make it back on games. So the amount of systems sold is negligible. Especially since Playmore shouldn't be trying to gain top market share with a 13 year old system. The point is to get everyone who buys a new AES to buy X amount of games to turn a profit.

No offense but many neo gamers dont want or care about the hyper 64 and then trying to market a 64 bit system mainstream is insane, sorry but I am totally against that idea. Sega, SNK, Sammy and capcom should just make some new arcade harware and then make a homeversion like Sega laways does then market it, in all its 2d glory, imagine if the DC was still mainstream, all the online ports buttrock
