Well, it seems pre-orders for a second batch, estimated to ship in 2/25, are still open on fullset.io. No idea whether SAG will have any stock, though. Probably not.

Hmmmn... having spent the last hour with it, "awesome" is not the word I'd use to describe Project Neon.
My overall opinion is, it's ok. I might have had a slightly higher opinion if it had been on Neo CD and cost $60 or something, instead of however many hundreds I shelled out in the original pre-order.
The main game graphics are for the most part pretty decent, and don't look like an Amiga game ported to the Neo Geo like the crap NGDEV shovel out every half millennia. The attract mode is a bit meh... looks like something you'd see from a Euro dev for Mega Drive.
It' is great to finally have a Neo shmup with a Tate mode, so that's a huge plus.
Toaplan's influence is evident, and that's no bad thing, although it doesn't have the polish of a Toaplan game.
Sound is ok. The music is instantly forgettable, but is suited to the game. I'd have liked a little more speech, and there's no sfx for explosions which is a bit odd.
Gameplay is average for this type of shmup. There's no difficulty adjust on the AES cart - don't know about modded consoles or MVS. You can add more lives in the options and that's about it. Difficultly curve isn't bad for a game with only 5 stages, but some of the later stage enemies are just annoying bullet sponges while they dish out spirals of bullet death (this is danmaku if you didn't know). I am impressed with the hit detection - that is very good. I never felt cheated when I lost a life.
Would I recommend this? Probably not unless the Neo Geo is your go too for shmups... but then, if that's the case, you've got more issues than whether you'll like Project Neon or not.

The cart's got wi-fi so you can just stream the updates to your cart - when it's plugged into the neo of course!Online?
Looking forward to seeing what Feb's updates will bring, but can't help but think that some of this stuff should have been addressed prior to release. I mean, I don't really want a game that turns into what happened with Star Wars.

Overserved = alcohol, drinking
Um, it's Tapper but instead of playing as the bartender it's a button masher/rhythm game where you and up to 3 friends play a part of the onslaught of customers. When a beer gets slung to you, you get pushed back and have to button mash a sequence of Guitar Hero like button combos to 'finish' the beer before advancing again.

It sounds like it will be a Neo version of Overcooked! (Modern Platforms) or SuperCooked! (Snes).

Did you read the post? lol
Multiplayer is a different story. They're going to have to schedule times for owners to play together.

Yes. Technically, those games aren't cooking simulators (like Cooking Mama) although there is some "cooking" in those games. Hence, the winky emoji. If you have a better guess, I'm all ears.

Sag had a copy so I grabbed it, the game won't boot... Giving me an error 1981
On reset it tells me to clean contacts.
Cleaned contacts , it boots to the bios menu, and then starts playing the theme, eventually says error 1981.
5 other games work perfectly fine on the system. I dunno

I could say that about most games I get and play for a while. My gaming now is nothing like when I was a kid and I would start playing as soon as I got gome from school.
