Rumors about a new-fangled Neo Geo have been floating around for a while now, but I think most of us assumed that nothing would ever actually materialize. Then, a few months ago, images of an iPhone-inspired handheld design showed up on the Internet and suddenly the gossip had a face. However, no official announcement ever came down the chain. Well, as of yesterday, an official announcement has been made, and Neo Geo fans are free to exchange vainglorious high fives. Blaze, a company who has a built a reputation for producing retro-themed consoles, is planning to release an SNK-branded Neo Geo handheld at some point in Q2 of 2012. 
No pricing has been attached to the console just yet, but if it’s any less than the $649 that SNK originally charged, we might actually see people purchasing Neo Geos. So, that’ll be new. By Josh Engen |
