I want to be wrong, but I have a bad feeling that we're getting something like this:

ugh... concave buttons.
The explosion on the bottom of that cab looks like it's from Metal Slug actually.
So this just got tweeted earlier today by SNK Japan...

And translated it says...
This year, SNK brand celebrates 40th anniversary. A new game machine that contains popular titles of NEOGEO will emerge, expressing gratitude to all fans who support SNK's works such as "KOF" "Legend of Fatal Family" "Samsupi" "Metasura" ! Please stay tuned. The Future is Now!
Looks like they are planning a Neo Geo mini...
Shame, it does look like they're just going for a new gimmick with this one.
The Neo Geo X had the portable-dock dynamic, but I think most folks just played it on their TV. This one might try the mini arcade form factor for the sake of novelty, but watch it get all its playtime via HDMI out.
All they had to do was copy Nintendo's approach and put some solid effort in polishing the execution. They could even have been first to let people go online to buy new games, leveraging their success with the ACA releases.
Well, if you lower your expectations, you will not be disappointed.
I actually received an email 2 weeks ago from the supposed team working on this and they asked if I wanted to take a look at it. I told them I did and then I kinda forgot about it:
This morning they reached out to me again since now the cat is (I guess) outta the bag. We will see if (and what) they deliver.
LOL canned email, I know others that got that same email.
Of course it's canned. Do you expect them to write a personalized letter to each video creator and blogger they want to cover their product?
You will be butthurt when I take the little Neo mini, shine it up real nice, turn it sideways and stick it straight up your candy ass.

Did they ever give you any more details?
I got the same email....
We all know this is going to end up being a POS and we will ridicule those who buy them.
Ok, initial feedback from head of marketing, is that this is likely hoax/scam mail, but they need to verify internally and it is the Golden Week you know. He is gonna report the thing to his boss and will keep me posted.
Neo geo mini info leaked.
Kind of disappointed but over all looks pretty good. 3.5 in screen and portable. HDMI out and two controller ports. am fan of the Neo geo CD controller so happy about that, but Would have also liked an arcade stick as well. So hope the make them well and not with cheap plastic. the 40 games list is pretty good as well. but still missing good titles. Only time will tell if this is true but if its not its a damn good fake.
