Jaja, tu ten en cuenta que si haces la review que prometiste te harás famoso
Porque hasta entonces yo creo que seguiremos sin buena información xD
PD: Al parecer el otro día en Neo Geo.com, un usuario colgó una review pero se la hicieron borrar por embargo de información, por suerte en el foro alemán que comentabais el otro día al copiaron, ésta es:
Rough draft of the review article I'm working on, I'll get around to
photos later in the week assuming I can get freetime (and a camera that
doesn't suck ballsacks ie my stupid ass iPhone)
Oh man, I've been waiting for this thing to show up on my doorstep for
awhile, and it's finally here. For those that maybe aren't familiar
with the Neo-Geo, it was a system that was released roughly 20 years ago
as a home console designed to bring the arcade experience home.
Everything about this system was... big, expensive, and just downright
awesome. The system back then ran almost $700USD with the games costing
almost $300 a piece which were bigger than VHS tapes.. they're
definitely big. These days, some of the best games for the Neo-Geo
fetch thousands of dollars which is unfortunate as the average gamer
isn't going to dish that out.. but lucky for us the Neo-Geo X brings
most of that experience home at a price most gamers can afford! For
$199.99USD plus tax, you can bring home the amazing arcade experience
you never got to experience.
So when you buy the Neo-Geo X Gold you should expect it to come with the
following: Neo-Geo X handheld system, a charging dock/TV output mount
shaped to replicate the Neo-Geo AES home console, a functioning replica
of the Playstation 2 AES replica stick (yes, a replica of a replica) and
[what I did not receive for review] a copy of Ninja Masters for the
Neo-Geo X. All these items together make for a pretty nice bundle, but
it should be noted that the system is marketed specifically as a
handheld first, with the other peripherals being bonuses of the Gold
Edition. The handheld itself is built fairly well.. featuring a 4.5in
(estimated) LCD screen (someone else asked about a screen protector seen
in other photos: the system ships with a plastic film protecting it.),
the classic four-button face layout to the right of the screen, an
8-direction joystick that resembles that of the Neo Geo Pocket Color to
the left of the screen, and menu/start buttons directly below the face
buttons and joystick. Along the sides of the console you have other
controls for the system, including a toggle for brightness and volume,
shoulder buttons (which can be used to change the picture size of the
game to fit the classic box shape or take up the entire screen), jacks
to dock into the AES charger/TV dock.. thingy.. , headphone jacks (to
me, the lack of this would be a dealbreaker for a handheld), and (what
appears to me to be an SD) card slot that the game cards would go into.
The back has that gripping rubber texture to make it easier to hold onto
as well, and features the SNK logo etched into it. The Neo-Geo X is a
bit larger than some smartphones, so it isn't quite pocket friendly.
<strong>THE HANDHELD SYSTEM</strong>
Right off the bat, I noticed the system takes a bit longer than the 3DS
or the PSP to boot up, but it's not too bad. (I attribute this to the
handheld running some form of encryption). The games load in roughly
the same speed (I timed 30 seconds on Metal Slug) but once the game gets
going, it plays flawlessly compared to the original. One of the things
I was worried about was the joystick that the system sports. Moving the
stick around, you hear clicking sounds. To some, you may think this is
garbage, to others however, this is a sign of excellent craftsmanship.
The joystick has microswitches to recreate the feel of the NGPC and
makes for precise input on fighting games. The stick responds perfectly
once you hop into a game, but it feels as if the menu has a bit of
delay input which can be a pain.. but who buys a console because of the
dashboard?! The ABCD face buttons have a solid feeling to them as well,
just enough softness to feel like you've hit the button down, but not
rough enough to the point it feels like you're hitting plastic on
plastic like the NES.
<strong>THE ARCADE STICK</strong>
This is the part myself and other Neo-Geo owners were afraid of.. the
build quality of the AES replica stick. Tommo advertised the stick to
be using the same parts as the original, so I wanted to put it to the
test. I went over to a friend's place to still has his AES to do side
by side comparisons for the review. As far as the internal components
like the stick and buttons, I cannot tell the difference between the
two. The stick and buttons both have the same clicking and solid
structured feeling to them and control the same. I will say though it's
not quite a 1:1 replica.. the Gold stick is slightly smaller (not much)
and feels slightly lighter than the AES counterpart. Now before you
say they didn't use the same parts, it's not the parts themselves
causing the lightness, it's the plastic shell and cable that the
controller has. The cable is less dense (and sports a USB port, so no
using this in an AES or vice versa) and the plastic shell was most
likely made thinner to help fit the innards in (I HIGHLY doubt the
original mould is still around which would cause problems when
re-creating the shell)
<strong>THE DOCKING STATION</strong>
This is the piece of the bundle I have the most complaints about... the
docking station. The AES cloned docking station opens up VIA a
hookswitch on the front, and you can dock the handheld in here to
charge. While it's charging, you can use the Neo-Geo X on your TV and
with the joystick play it just like an AES. The dock features modern
updates, such as an HDMI port, USB ports (so once again, no real AES
sticks), and the reset button acts as a dashboard button, sending the
console back to that atrocious menu. Now the dock itself feels cheap..
oh so cheap. The replica AES charging dock of TV playing is quite
smaller in contrast to a real Neo-Geo AES and the cartridge slot is 100%
solid and nothing can be put in it. I think it would've been better to
be able to dock the handheld in the cartridge port but whatever. The
hookswitch is also poorly made and I have to hold the lid down and push
the latch back just to get it to lock shut. The dock also feels
freakishly light so I'm almost certain is just a passthrough connector.
I think I'll just be leaving it in there and using it as a home
console.
<strong>GAMEPLAY</strong>
This was the other major concern, how well does the system handle the
emulation. We went back and forth between the two systems, testing
Metal Slug, King of the Monsters, Magician Lord, and Last Resort to see
how it handles various genres and different sized games. Thank. God.
the emulation was perfect.. I saw no graphical issues and similar
slowdowns in the same spots so it feels like a flawless interpretation.
The firmware still pisses me off to no end because it's clunky and
overly simple but as long as playing games on it works as well as it
does, I can ignore that. If you're reading this Tommo, release a
firmware update that doesn't feel like a Windows 95 file navigation and
selector!
<strong>The Verdict</strong>
The Neo-Geo X is slated for street date two weeks from now and will cost
you $200USD. If you don't want all the extras (controllers, stupid
charging dock/TV output box etc.. which why wouldn't you?) you can
obtain just the handheld for $130 in February. For some people, it may
be overpriced considering it is after all a machine running 20 year old
games.. but by god if it's not an amazing piece of hardware to own as a
Neo-Geo fan or a classic gamer. Considering that the system also has 20
built in games (one of which if you were to buy the original of will
set you back almost $3,000) it's definitely a bargain for anyone who
wants to play these classics the way they were meant to be played, or to
even show your kids the games you grew up with! Combined with the
possibility of future games being released VIA game card addons, the
system has alot of potential to succeed depending on the price of each
game. This isn't a system for everyone, but is highly recommended for
the classic gamer and arcade goers alike and should not be missed!

AquíResumiendo:
- El Stick es una replica del "Playstation 2 AES replica stick", es decir,
es una replica de una replica.- Dice que la construcción de la portátil está bastante bien.
- Es más grande que muchos smartphones, así que no es muy cómoda para el bolsillo.
- Tarda más en arrancar que 3DS o PSP.
- Los juegos también tardan un poco en cargar, ha calculado
30 segundos de carga en Metal Slug.- Cuando el juego ya está cargado, va fino.
-
El Joystick de la portátil funciona bien (lleva micro-switches con el típico click de Neo Geo Pocket), pero al parecer tiene
cierto input lag en el menú y puede ser molesto.
- Los botones están bien, sensación solida y suave.
- Ha comparado el arcade stick con uno original de AES; dice que el de la Neo Geo X es un poco más pequeño (no mucho) y que es más ligero que el de AES.
- Los botones del stick tienen el mismo "feeling" que el de AES.
- La base "dock" (donde se inserta la portátil) dice que se nota muy pero que muy barata, se ve de mala calidad y cuesta mucho de cerrar.
- Dice que prefiere dejar la portátil ahí dentro y usarla como consola de sobremesa (supongo que con esto se refiere a que no quiere tocar demasiado la base).
-
La emulación es perfecta, ha probado varios juegos y comparado con los originales y dice que va excelentemente en todos.
- Dice que el firmware de la consola es muy cutre y simple, que tiene la sensación de estar en "Windows 95", pero que como los juegos funcionan bien lo puede obviar.
creo que voy a seguir la filosofia homer...tambien estoy candsado y furioso ...asi que va a ser mi regalo de navidad, me hace ilusion, aunque quizas que nos quedemos con una maravillosa replca del mando original una portatil china y una sd con la pegatina de ninja master por 200 euros
y me sorprende que algunos digan que para comprarse la nueva neogeoX te compras una neogeo Aes. La NeoGeo Aes es como un ferrari, el problema no es comprarla es mantenerla por que pagar las cifras que se manejan por los juegos es solo cosa de only coleccionistas. ![[+furioso]](/images/smilies/nuevos/furioso.gif "muy furioso")
