SNK's Neo Geo console remake works with original cartridges and HDMI

Summary: Not everyone had the money for the original Neo Geo Advanced Entertainment System when it released in the '90s, but there's still a chance to experience it as an adult with disposable income.

Background

SNK and Plaion Replai, who is also behind the all-black remake of the Commodore 64, outlined a faithful remake of the high-end retro console, called the Neo Geo AES+.

To bring the original console into the modern day, the collaborating companies added HDMI compatibility for resolutions up to 1080p and DIP switches on the bottom of the console to allow for language selection, overclocking and switching display modes.

Rounding out the upgrades, SNK and Plaion Replai included a permanent way to retain high scores on a memory card and a low-power usage mode.

For the purists out there, the Neo Geo AES+ still works on those chunky CRT displays since it has the original AV output.

Preorders are currently open for two versions of the Neo Geo AES+, including an all-white 35th anniversary edition bundle that includes an Arcade Stick, a limited-edition Metal Slug game cartridge and a memory card, for $349.99.

Further details

The standard edition in classic black will only come with an arcade stick, but will be available for $249.99.

Coinciding with the console release, Replai Plaion will release 10 modernized game cartridges, including Metal Slug, The King of Fighters 2002 and other classics, for $89.99 each.

If you think those prices are high, don't forget the original Neo Geo AES' release price was $649.99.

The Neo Geo AES+ is set to start shipping on November 12.
