I don't understand the hate amassed for the Neo Geo X. Its not amazing, but for what it is, it plays Neo Geo games with a close to accurate controller when hooked to the docking station. Its also in some instances, the only type of Neo hardware some people have access to. I have one and its fun for what it is, though its no substitute for the real thing. Its just much more cost effective right now, as I don't have a job and am working towards a second degree. That said I do miss the Japanese AES I used to have but I wound up selling it and the games I had to put a down payment on a car about ten years ago. Doesn't mean I won't ever own another piece of true SNK hardware, but for right now this has to work.
