As part of Tommo's continued support and development of the NEOGEO X and having, most importantly, listened to customer feedback, Tommo will also be including NEOGEO X System Update 1.0 with NEOGEO X Classics: Volume I. More details on the NEOGEO X System Update 1.0 will be released in the weeks to come. And because the fans asked for it, a NEOGEO X Travel Case is also in development, and is scheduled for release in April 2013.

Wonder the price of 3 games per card, I am hoping something like 20 max.

Since they're throwing in the cable for free I'm thinking more like 30-40

Hope they come in nice cases

Awesome! I don't own 8 of those games so I'm pumped!

This news absolutely made my day. It feels good to have my faith rewarded!

Decent selection of games. 3 games per card, if includes a nice case and at least some sort of documentation is worth a $30 price tag at most. Unfortunate we have to wait until the first release to see an update to the firmware though. Here's hoping we will see appropriate fixes in HDMI, sound issues, etc. as well as the memory card functionality in the first update.

There are several games in that list I'd like to have on the NGX, so I'm happy to see this news!

I'll likely be buying all the cards.

I still want Crossed Swords, Neo Turf Masters and Magical Drop 3 though darn it.

Now we just wait until late April...

"blasts onto North American retail shelves in late April 2013"

So are the Handheld and game cards going to be available in brick and mortar stores too? Seems weird since the Gold bundle was online only.

Hell, how about Crossed Swords 2 or Brikinger? Windjammers should be on that list. Perhaps later on it'll get added.

Good point. I would buy all of those too. Especially Windjammers!

Credit where it's due. I'm happy to see Tommo coming through for you guys.

Good to hear things worked out. A pretty decent list of games, hope they keep this up.

Very nice selection of fighters and Blazing Star, Metal Slug 2, and Shock Troopers for good measure. Also for everyone that liked Super Sidekicks at launch, Super Sidekicks 3 is leaps and bounds ahead of the first game.

Where did this press release come from? I can't find the source.

Now I'm just waiting for broken to come in with the haterade in this thread also.

Finally, we get some idea of how games will be sold. I thought surely they would continue with 1 ROM per card. Even at 3 or 4 per card, I can't see paying over $30. TOMMO BLASTS IN YOUR FACE!

I'm happy about the firmware update more then anything. If they seriously address all the previous issues or at least most of them, I'll be happy.

Am I the only one reading this as they are going to be putting the firmware update on the game card? I hope that isn't the case. That means you're essentially having to pay to fix their problems.

Good news but far from "delivered". I hope they keep their word. It would be good if they redid the software completely.

No, you're right in reading it like that. In response to questions on the FB page, they confirmed the update is on the card. Nintendo did the same thing with a number of their games, and I've had the same experience with Sony too, so I'm not bugged. I'm buying it anyway, so I'll be happy for the update no matter how I get it. At least it's coming with games, too and not being charged for the update and nothing more!

Besides, with no network or wifi connectivity, there's not a lot of avenues left to get us the update that wouldn't require us to purchase something else anyway, be it a game, or a data cable. But instead, we get both!

Tommo laughs with us, in all of the haters faces that called us fucking idiots for buying it. I feel like whacking off, so I'm Gunna.

I can't wait to play all of those sweet games on my genuine snk neo geo x gold. Many games of which will only be played by holders of the snk neo geo x.

where are shock troopers 2, Iron Clad and Sengoku 2?
