I’m sure shadowtek has some mean ideas on the new Neo Geo Mini. But I can’t be arsed to read something without paragraphs.
Just for you
My pure speculation is that it will be about as tall as an AES controller stood on it's side but not as wide. The main controller/joystick and buttons will be attached to the Screen/Back cabinet part and it will have a built in Screen that is about 3-4 inches(about the size of a post-it note, maybe a tad larger).
The joystick and buttons will be in between NeoGeo Pocket color and AES controller size. So smaller but not tiny. On the back will be HDMI out, as well as USB input for power and 1 or 2 USB plugs for external controllers/dongles. So you can do 1P on the system itself or 2P will be with a secondary connected controller and 1P will have to use the controller attached to the console. I'm hoping they just make the controller detachable, or have a secondary controller port but I'm guessing they might not because cost, so P1's controller is the system itself.
I think the system will retail for $99.99-129.99 and if they sell secondary controllers those will be $24.99-29.99 and they will be USB full size options like the X had. I'm guessing it will come with 40 built in games and no built in expansion of that until it gets hacked. I'm hoping you don't have to hold the system while playing on HDMI on a screen so hopeful for a dedicated 1P and 2P port on the back.
