You know, I never understood who this thing was marketed to. Hardcore neo fans are very precious about the details, and there were so many things done wrong with this thing there was just no way the core audience was gonna go for this. On the other hand, the price on it was way too high to attract casual/tentative fans or curious onlookers. This thing had no discernible target audience, IMO, and it was doomed to fail.
Oh, and to anyone who thinks that arcade stick is good: it's not. The build quality is terrible (it's cheaper and lighter than an actual aes stick) and it only has 4 buttons, severely limiting the number of pc games you can actually play with it . Curious parties would be better served by saving and investing in a quanba or ps3 hori stick. These phony aes sticks are crap.
So much truth ^. I honestly believe SNK wanted to thank their fans and followers for all the years of dedication that has occurred. That's why the packaging, aesthetics, and box for the Mega Pack paid so many tributes to the original. The actions speak as love letters to the fans.
Unfortunately, Tommo fucked it up with the hardware, game emulation, and horrendous customer service to boot. I returned my NGX after the rocket cable blessedly bricked it, after multiple emails and phone calls asking them to accept it back for repair. I got a generic answer three weeks after the last email, in reply to the FIRST email. fuckers.
The intent from SNK was honorable, and admirable. The execution from Tommo was pathetic at best, and karma decided now was the time to rear her head to shoddy business.
