I owned a Jaguar and many, many games for it. Call it a circa 2000 “let’s buy what I didn’t have as a kid” experience. Junk. I’ve been fortunate enough to touch a couple AES consoles in the last 5 years. It had been since the early 90s. Games were nice, obviously, but the controllers felt just as cheap as any other console arcade stick. The system also needs multiple mods to produce decent image and sound. :cheers: |

He's not wrong. That's why most neogeo fans get a MVS and just consolize that. Why pay hundreds for a console that's a cheap piece of junk when you can run the same games on actual arcade hardware for next to nothing? The only reason the AES is expensive is because it's somewhat rare, not because it's a well built, future proof console. I would also point out that while state of the art then, it's just another 16 bit console now. Yeah let's play those all time classic neogeo titles like.... ummm.... and don't forget..... uhhh.... Oh but there's King of Fighters and Metal Slug so I guess two franchises make it the best?? Whenever you start making arbitrary statements like "the best console is" and that console isn't a Nintendo console you are just embarrassing yourself. Everybody knows it's all about the games and most of the highest rated games of all time are on the NES, SNES or N64. If you want an objective-ish answer we can only go by measurable metrics. |

I've actually never touched an original Neo-Geo. I have played it a lot on Mame. Never played any KOF games but lots of Metal Slug, Baseball Stars, Magician Lord, and Spinmaster are usually my gotos. |

The Neo Geo's library didn't pick up steam until the 94-96, and by then you had much richer, deeper games people wanted to play on console. "arcade only" couldn't exactly scratch it. Resident Evil came out before the first Metal Slug was released. |
