Probably for macros. Calling strikers in KOF (B+C) is quite awkward on a NGCD pad layout for example.

Hopefully it will generate scanlines for LCD TVs.

Yes. It says 4.3" for the screen size not 4x3 screen ratio.
The "select" button on a neo stick is pretty much only to pause the game and never used for its intended purpose to select anything. So by that logic, maybe the L and R shoulder buttons would toggle screen sizes, like how GB and GBC games can be played on GBA in their native ratio or the stretched GBA ratio.

Its funny how if you click the console graphic on this page: http://neogeox.com/NeoGeo/NeoGeox
The image actually gets smaller lol.
The company working on this site are sloppy as fuck. So much of the design is amateur hour.

Maybe they made the same mistake... they wanted to order 1000 4:3 screens, but they ordered 1000 4,3"... that would explain the stupid choice

I wonder about the expandable games thing... You think this product will actually let people use ROMs? I can't see any legitimate company selling a product that lets you use ROMs... either they are digging their own grave or they will provide additional games through a service.

I don't really like the button layout, 
and 
should be switched, I think. Platformers like Metal Slug and Magician Lord would be a pain to play like that.
But... somehow my mind is warping, and I'm starting to want this thing. A dock that doubles as an HDMI equipped console? An extra joystick? And an expandable game slot (inevitably for ROMs?)...
These all sound like solid features.

Yes that is what happened to me... when it was just a handheld I was not that interested..

Well, lame or not I'm pretty sure I'm getting in on this thing to find out for myself first hand.
I really have been wanting to get back into neo gaming after having to dump most of my video gaming stuff and maybe this thing can let me play the ones I want fairly easy.

Right? I'm confused why lots of gamer blogs are pegging it as "shockingly expensive". That dock/console and full sized joystick increase the value of the $200 offer significantly. And it's not an illegitimate device like the GP2X or something, it's an official licensed SNK-P product.
If that card slot allows you to play games outside the initial lineup, we'd be stupid not to get this.
You realize the dock and joystick are much smaller than the AES, right? If the scale in the image is what is to be expected in the final product, there's no reason at all to expect a full size joystick.
To say this package is (not) worth $200 requires some assumptions to be made. This would have to be absolutely top build quality and flawless emulation to be worth the price. If this turns out to be anything like Blaze's other products, it would barely be worth $20.
Also, why does it make a different that it's a licensed product? All that means is a company paid SNK enough money to put the name 'Neo Geo' on their product. Anyone with enough money could do so. Unless SNK starts actively promoting this, I wouldn't get too excited about the fact it's licensed.

I can't imagine it's that much smaller. If the ports on the front of the console are USB ports, you can kinda get an idea of the scale. It also mentions that the screen for the handheld is 4.3", which is fairly big.
And fortunately I don't think Blaze is creating these. Their connection only seems to be as the distributors in the UK.
I don't know, I'm still optimistic at this point.

Blaze doesn't make any of the product they sell. They simply re-brand products from other manufacturers. Their track record in the market pretty much ensures that no serious video game manufacturer would choose to partner with Blaze for a product like this. Doing so sends a pretty strong message regarding the product.

Definitely picking this up regardless of the skepticism. Neo Geo products don't get released often.
Just because it says neogeo on the cheap plastic and is licensed doesn't make it a real neogeo product.
I'm starting to literally believe the old joke about selling a bag of shit with neogeo stamped on it, and people would actually buy it. This crappy overpriced emulation thing isn't far from that.
