(No international shipping for the Jp version and no pre orders for Europe yet) pre-order on Amazon.jp, 12420¥ is currently £85... So £89.99 over here then? https://www.amazon.co.jp/SNKプレイモア-NEOGEO-mini/dp/B07DWGTHDJ/?th=1 And controllers are apparently 3000¥, which will probably end up as £29.99...https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B07DWGTX6B/ref=emc_b_5_t Product overview page https://www.amazon.co.jp/b?node=5796478051 Link to post Share on other sites

Keyboard Koala Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 So the base unit is sold without controllers - of which you need two. £150 for the whole set then. It's not cheap, but just within what I thought was reasonable. I'm probably in. As a guy who still mutters "Geeeese" whenever he sees geese on the road, I need this in my life...

But wasn't the NES mini £90 with just one controller as well? And that one didn't even feature a built in joystick or a tiny screen. EDIT: Scratch that. NES mini was £60. Making the NeoGeo mini bloody expensive indeed. Damn. Link to post Share on other sites

robotattack Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 The NES Mini was/is £49.99. SNES Mini is £69.99. £89.99 for a unit with a screen built in seems like good value to a Nobby No Mates like me. Link to post Share on other sites

SeanR Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 I preordered 5 mini-SNES to give as presents. I don't know how many mini-neo-geo I'll order. I may just build a couple of the neo geo X pi things instead Link to post Share on other sites

Ninja Doctor Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Noice!!! Preordered though if the SNES mini is anything to go by I’m better off preo seeing with Argos. Link to post Share on other sites
Myshkin Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 even the mini is the most expensive console of the lot. should have known. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Yiggy Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 It definitely looks cool but I’m not sure I can justify it when I can cherry pick the games on Switch and use the arcade stick I already have. Would love it on my desk with 2 pads though. Just not for £180! Link to post Share on other sites

Rex Grossman Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 The joystick is an analogue stick like you'd find on a modern console controller and sounds terrible for 2D gaming. Yuk. I'm out. Link to post Share on other sites
