NEOGEO X GOLD Limited Edition detailed, pre-orders available

We’re inching closer and closer to the release of the NEOGEO X GOLD, a handheld/console retro reboot of sorts for SNK’s classic NEOGEO arcade and home system.

Today Tommo and SNK revealed details for the NEOGEO X GOLD Limited Edition bundle which includes all sorts of additional goodies including the NEOGEO X Station charge/docking base, the classic styled NEOGEO X Arcade Stick, 20 AES games and a limited edition game card of Ninja Master’s (for pre-orders and early purchases).

Take a look at some of the packaging and the NEOGEO X Station below, and read on for more details. Is a retro gaming portable and console dock bundle, even one based on the legendary NEOGEO, worth almost $200 these days? We’ll have to see…

The NEOGEO X GOLD Limited Edition is scheduled for a December 6th release for $199.99, and is available for pre-order at Amazon. See our link below to pre-order.

Tommo, Inc., in partnership with SNK PLAYMORE, today announced the NEOGEO X GOLD Limited Edition entertainment system. The NEOGEO X GOLD Limited Edition will include a limited edition game card to accompany the 20 classic NEOGEO AES games already pre-loaded on the NEOGEO X Handheld, at no additional cost.

Early adopters and fans who reserve the highly anticipated NEOGEO X GOLD Limited Edition (from participating retailers) on or before its worldwide release date of December 6, 2012 will receive a limited edition NINJA MASTER’S game card for use with the NEOGEO X Handheld, while supplies last.

Originally released in arcades and on the NEOGEO console in 1996, NINJA MASTER’S features 12 playable characters, and lightning-fast 2D fighting action that allows players to switch between hand-to-hand and weapon-based combat on the fly, offering huge combo counts and multiple styles of play.
