I was wondering the same thing, lol.

 

[HemlockDrew]

Me three, but then it would be one of the most random jokes ever.

I hope it's not a joke! If it was a joke it'd be funnier if it was coming out on Virtual Boy!

This is what needs to be done for the Neo Geo X to survive. That and a Video Out revision would make this unit entirely unique.

I was so excited that I forgot to check the date. It seems too obscure to be a prank but the one part that made me suspicious is when they said success could lead to an AES cartridge of the game.

Do you really think a exclusive game for the NeoGeo X is going to be the handheld's saving grace?

 

[wyndcrosser]

If they release it on "NGX", it will be easily ripped to an MVS or AES cart soon, so they would loose money due to bootlegging pretty quickly.

 

[DangerousK]

lol Neo Geo X exclusive.

 

[HeavyMachineGoob]

Game is widescreen... Umm, how could they get it onto AES/MVS again?

I'll riot if it's not on CD.

So badly I want this to be real. If it is, it could be the start of something unique and wonderful!

 

[Xian Xi]

Weird, not even a Neo Geo game. I always figured the "exclusives" would at least be relative to the handheld like a Neo geo game.

 

[SNKorSWM]

Until there is some video, I'd just assume it's one of those April fool's joke.

 

[crujones4life]

I got confirmation that it was a cruel joke on Twitter...sucks.

 

[HemlockDrew]

what a random joke. didn't know that game was that popular

[Yodd]

lolz

no one, and I mean NO FUCKING ONE gives a shit about the NGX. Even Tommo or SNK don't care.

 

[Sex Machine]

For SNK it was a payday, for tommo they were hoping for suckers.

 

[pipes]

A joke within a joke. Keep laughing TOMMO!

The X fan boys have been waiting 4 months just to get Legend of Success Joe on an SD card and you guys actually thought there was going to be an exclusive? Now that's funny.
