The shit-pile that is the NGX - A Retrospective

[pipes]

I figured this was a good time to take a stroll down memory lane as we keep this horrendous failure on life support just a little while longer. Since it's certain death seems to be just around the corner, join me in a look back so we can remember literally the only good that's come of this heaping steamer.

I present to you - THE NEO GEO X RETROSPECTIVE........

Enjoy!

I'm thinking the launch of the NGX has given you more hours of entertainment than anyone who actually bought one.

 

[NeoGeoNinja]

Enjoy!

Finally. Something that makes sense around here.

Good stuff pipes. Keep up the much needed, good work. You really don't get paid enough...

Agreed. So glad I didn't buy into it.

 

[Yodd]

I think this one is still my fav:

Couple others Pipes missed:

[Naika]

Fried gold. lolz!!

Fuckin' laughed my ass off on this one! I could hear Dave's pimp voice in my head as I read it.

 

[Drummerkid1087]

Sucks to hear all of this about the neo x =[ I was actually looking forward to getting one. Looks like I will have to build yet another supergun to enjoy the old neo games. Balls!

 

[Crazy Climber]

Oh, I miss these topics...

This thread is always so good to check back for a laugh. My girlfriend is only around still because she didn't give in and buy me one of these.

I was at a video game swap on the weekend, and I was trying to sell my Neo Geo X now that I have the real deal MVS. People kept coming up to me to tell me how sorry they were that I bought one and genuinely felt bad for me... my friend got a good laugh at my expense. Sadly, it travelled back home with me as nobody was looking for a NGx!

Donate it off and hope that you can get some tax credit.

 

[lithy]

Hell, I'd take it before you donate it, but would have to be pretty cheap to justify shipping from Canader.

Ha! I'll keep it for now so I can look at the box with my glasses off and pretend that a minty AES magically appeared overnight!!

 

[SNKorSWM]

Just keep the box then. XD

I finally got rid of my X yesterday for $65, which beats throwing the piece of shit in the trash. I have been a SNK fan for 20 years, and I was so fucking excited when I heard a new hand-held was releasing, but the minute I opened the package and plugged it in I realized my folly. I can't fucking believe I paid $250 plus tax (extra controller) for this complete piece of fucking shit. Biggest fucking video game let down in my lifetime. What a fucking shame SNK put their name on this contraption. Well I suppose out of all of this I did find Xian Xi, and was able to order a CMVS which is wonderful, and has exceeded my expectations...so all is not lost!

It's just too risky being an early adopter these days.

I live in Europe, Denmark and had to pay 170 GBP for that piece of shit (about 270 USD). After trying it a couple of times I knew I was fucked. Luckily I was able to sell it on auction to some guy for 135 GBP (about 216 USD). I just wanted that trash out of my sight and out of my collection. Just looking at the box could ruin my day.

Oh wow $270, fucking shit man - you might want to have a counseling session with Pipes, the NeoX Support Group leader. I'm sure your scars will take time to heal, but at least you were able to get rid of it without completely losing your ass.

[SNKorSWM]

So they just change $ into £ and keep the same number for the MSRP?

I surely felt violated and ripped off by Tommo no doubt about that. I've been collecting and gaming for more than 20 years and I have never in those 20+ years laid my hands on such a fucking useless cheap piece of trash. If I hadnt found a buyer for this garbage I probably would have thrown it out.
