So I take it you've played many of these, since you're telling us the free and cheap games are as good or better.
All of the above. I literally stated multiple times that I've had gatherings and people had more fun with the titles that I mentioned. 4P Block Panic DX is great btw. Good luck on trying to get any co-op on Gururin for more than 1 game.

How do you do 4P on Block Panic DX?

You know, another way to look at this sadly is that every game dev knows were all retarded and that games made for neo are literally only cash grabs to prey on us.
This is literally the business model for those limited run type companies with modern consoles, it ain’t just the ‘geo

You need either of the 4P Neo adapters (it supports both) on original hardware or you can use a MiSTer. If you use a NeoTris adapter, it's the first and only 4P Neo CD game.

Did they forget about the neogeo game..
No they just don't give a shit, they grabbed a nice chunk of change from pre orders.
Now they're milking T2, I wouldn't be surprised if the Neo gets scrapped at this point.

No, it won't get scrapped. From the video it's obviously too far along.

I don't doubt that they are passionate about releasing on the Neo Geo. No one takes on such a project to get rich. I'm just skeptical about the level of effort required that they've taken on (at one point there was even talk of porting all their games). Their main business seems to be booming. There are bound to be delays with something like this.

I don't know how true this is, because it's second hand.
But a friend in the UK who has some buddies who are working on the project apparently said they are running into cart issues...
The chips they were using, doubled in price and they are scrambling trying to find alternatives.
So cost is primarily the issue from what I was told, but who the hell knows lol.

Yeah, I am concerned about the cost. I know it's the times we're in, but this happened last time too actually. The first time around (Xeno Crisis) the inital preorders were around $199, and then they had to raise the price later to $299. They ran into serious hardware issues too that delayed the release of the already finished game.

Going back and asking their customers for another $50-80 would be preferrable to canceling altogether. The game must be close to done.

The pretty much went full retard considering they're very profitable with all their other titles yet they're dragging their ass on this. Maybe we'll get an Atari Lynx or 2600 Port of Xeno Crisis

I almost preordered it also so glad I didn't. Not sure wtf they are doing but not saying anything at all is just bullshit.

At least they answer emails and make refunds if you don't want the game anymore. Unlike NGDev...

Maybe the tech in the new AES+ carts will be their solution...?

I was thinking that also since Bitmap said they had problems sourcing chips. Wishful thinking if that works maybe the damn games from now on will only be $90. Lol yeah right huh?...

I doubt that they'll use any of this tech. IIRC, they don't want anyone dumping their new ROMS.
