Neo Geo X Gold System details and price announced!

[Karny]

Just got this email... doesn't look like Funstock is going to have any stock this side of Christmas. As usual it sucks to be on this side of the pond

 

[topher]

That file isn't on mine.

That's strange. Wonder why it's visible on mine...

Should we start a separate thread for hacking the neo geo x?

Definitely!

I haven't, but reportedly they don't work. They only thing that seems to work with it is the PS3 Neo stick. It's just a hunch, but I think the two sticks are the same internally. When you plug the NGX stick into a PC it even recognizes a bunch of buttons that the stick doesn't have.

Makes sense that the sticks are the same internally. I remember seeing an early photo someone posted with the NGX prototype at some sort of electronics show with one of the joysticks being the PS2/3 model. Looks like Tommo just took the extra-buttoned version and remodeled it with less buttons to give it a nostalgic look. I would have preferred they left it with the extra buttons.

 

[Viewpoint]

That's what I was thinking too.

Actually, some of the games I never played are amazing, and I never even knew.

Reading this makes me kinda happy and sad at the same time

 

[HitokiriRyu]

I agree

Definitely!

I still havent taken mine out of the box. Maybe tomorrow. I think I'll rig a Raspberry Pi in the dock.

Fuck, that would be awesome!

Also, I had never played some of these games either. Ninja Master's is fun! Mutation Nation, not so much. At least it's better than Burning Fight.

Mutation Nation, not so much. At least it's better than Burning Fight.

Watchoo talkin' bout Willis. Those are great games.

And let me get this straight...is the handheld always charging when it's in the console, or do you have to have the console turned to "on"?

 

[GohanX]

Burning Fight and Mutation Nation are both good bad games, like much of the early Neo games. Need to add Ninja Combat for the holy trinity of awesome crap.

The best I can tell, it only seems to be charging when you have the dock switched to "on."

 

[malignantpoodle]

Burning Fight is dog shit but come on, Mutation Nation is an excellent game.

 

[HitokiriRyu]

I find Mutation Nation more entertaining on the NeoGeo X than I did on the MVS.

 

[Sherlin]

I'll give you that Ninja Combat is crap. But I still own it.

Anyone found a good carrying case for the X handheld yet? My PSP case is too small.

According to a guy on youtube, Vita cases fit it well.

 

[GohanX]

I'm using a Vita case as well. It's a bit too large for the NGX, but it works. I'm hoping someone finds a case that fits a bit better, but the thing is too long for generic phone cases.

Picked mine up this morning finally! I'm very impressed handheld feels great. I don't understand the HDMI hate. I hooked it up to my AsusV236H I use for fighting games via HDMI and it displays fine. I definitely feel like I got my $200 worth and more.

 

[MilkManX]

I think I will wait for the Handheld only set. That video showed way too much screen tearing for me.

Console has to be set to "on." And when it's done charging, the red light goes off, so I assume that means it's not charging ALL the time. I'm assuming.

I'm on this forum for the first time in YEARS because I, too, now own an NGX. Really interested to see where the hacking attempts go - so far I'm really impressed with the quality of the handheld and stick. Docking station isn't the best thing on the planet but I feel like the whole package was definitely worth $200 - especially seeing as the stick works on my PS3 and PC.

 

[slerch666]

I'll second that. I don't know why that is though.

Mutation Nation was included when I bought my 4 slot board for my Super Nova super gun...

I stopped coming here with any regularity in 2006. Completely stopped in 2008. Came back this year because of the X.

 

[Jack Burton]

Got mine from Target today. I can confirm that it is the limited edition that comes with Ninja Master's. not sure if I'm opening it today or on Christmas.

 

[SlickDizzy]

Thinking of gathering info and starting a Neo X hacks/upgrades/mods thread. Which forum do you guys think would be best? Here, General, Tech Support, or Handhelds?

Whhhaattt! That's sacrilege! One of my fave's. I guess we all have our favorites. Surprised to see some people never played Ninja Master's, one of the best, in my opinion.

 

[Jonmkl]

I vote general! Its a Neo so it certainly qualifies for general and tech support is more for fixing things, not breaking them :-P
