So letting people configure an arcade machine is stupid but half the benefit of owning one is that you can set DIP switches?

Yes. That’s it exactly. One person can configure the DIPs. The mofo who runs the place. Nobody else can touch it.

This isn't for Chuck E Cheese dude. This is basically a home console. It makes sense to be able to configure it.

This is a bartop using emulation to play games. This is not a proper arcade machine. You will never see this at any place that has arcades. This is meant for personal use, not commercial. Don't be ridiculous.

Possible new games down the road:
MVSX sales manager Ben Herman, who also happened to serve as president of SNK Playmore for several years, posted on his LinkedIn profile that he would also be representing the publisher Visco in order to bring its lineup of Neo Geo MVS games to the MVSX in 2021.

Glad to see the Visco Neo Geo titles finally get a wider distribution. It was a bummer that games like Breakers Revenge and Neo Drift Out were unable to receive a wider re-release via Hamster's ACA Neo Geo efforts. Hopefully the remaining un(re)released games from Technos, Hudson, etc can make it as well.

I believe Breakers is getting a combo pack sometime this year on PC, PS4 and Switch - so at least that will be available. It's a travesty BR doesn't get that much attention, but it has a pretty healthy community in Fightcade, and is even one of the ranked games on the service.
This is the first official (licensed) NeoGeo hardware in decades that actually looks like it may be worth buying. Will wait for more info, but the only SNK hardware I currently own is my NeoGeo Pockets and games, which I love. I've always wanted a big red (who would not?) but it's not justifiable for me. This little bartop could be a nice compromise for someone like me.
It looks pretty good IMO, even has the LED's on the control panel. Not bothered by the extra 2 buttons, they can be plugged or even useful someday (who knows what else it might run in the future, not to mention hacking etc.). Not a fan of the huge Unico logo on the sides, I would prefer the SNK/NeoGeo logos be prominent. But overalll it looks good. There was clearly more effort put into this design to reflect nostalgia for NeoGeo than we usually see (i.e. the awful NeoGeo Mini IMO)
Hopefully build quality and emulation accuracy is good. Those are the big questions that will make this a hit or miss.

This seems like something Shinkiro would draw if he never found out about George Clooney and had a Top Gun poster to trace instead.

that was my take away. It looks like switching regions on this thing just changes their UI language and thats it. No blood in metal slug is a no go for me. As Hine62 stated it need that solid shmup to seal the deal for the Library of games. That said the Library was decently solid but missing windjammers and a good shmup.

Another nail in this turd's coffin. 39m16s into the video.

Confirmation that it doesn't run at the Neo Geo's native refresh rate, so all games will have choppy scrolling, irregular shadow flickering, etc.
This is TRASH.
