• 1:1 replica of the original '90s console

• Arcade-grade build quality

• Powered by re-engineered ASIC chips

• Backward-compatible with original NEOGEO AES game cartridges

• Low-latency HDMI output

• Includes the wired (15-pin connector) Arcade Stick

• DIP switches for overclocking and display mode

• Supports CRT AV output

The announcement of the new NEOGEO AES+ piqued my interest, not because it’s another retro console launching into a crowded market dominated by Evercade’s excellent EXP-R and VS-R consoles, but because of what it’s claiming to be – a remake of the original hardware at a silicon level, no emulation or simulation, with all the bells and whistles that means for fans of classic games.
