Remember that rumoured handheld Neo Geo Duane posted about the other week? Well it turns out it's real

So what do we know about it so far, still not a huge amount if I'm honest. It's by Blaze and WILL NOT BE £500 (got that internet? NOT £500!), has a 3.5" screen and an SD card slot.

It will also include the following games

Art of Fighting
Baseball Stars
Cyber Lip
Fatal Fury
Fatal Fury Special
Football Frenzy
King of the Monsters
Last Resort
League Bowling
Magician Lord
Metal Slug
Mutation Nation
Nam 1975
Samurai Shodown
Sengoku
Super Sidekicks
The King of Fighters ‘94
The Ultimate 11
Top Players Golf
World Heroes

Yup, for fans of SNK, this is brilliant news. I for one am highly intrigued by it, despite my only knowledge of SNK being the Pocket Color and a few SNK Playmore compilations.



Japanese website, Famicom Plaza, has taken a look and had the following to report:

Famicom Plaza has a look at at the new device, which carries official licensing from SNK Playmore. The device, currently going by the placeholder name of "Neo Geo Portable Device," has 4.3 inch screen, two gigabytes of internal storage, and ships with 20 Neo Geo classics built in:

The games are all the North American versions with English.

According to the Famicom Plaza report, the device is 170x72x15mm and is a bit larger than an iPhone-like smartphone. It has a 2200mAh battery.

Controls on the device include four face buttons, a d-pad, four shoulder buttons, a menu button, a start button, and buttons for volume and brightness. Ports include headphones, AV and an SD.

No details yet on pricing or release date.

Famicom Plaza's report does not list the maker.
