There have been so many legacy consoles doing the rounds of late, it was only a matter of time before one of these video game companies started thinking about the future and not the past. The first developer to take the plunge appears to be SNK, creators of the beloved NEO GEO lineup of systems. NEO GEO Mini has been such a success for the company that it has inspired SNK to bring an all-new NEO GEO to the world:
A Next-Gen NEOGEO hardware is coming after NEOGEO Mini.
With a modern design and a wonderful play feeling and you can even link it to NEOGEO Mini, the new hardware will provide you a NEOGEO journey that you have never expeirenced.Stay tuned for more information!#SNK #NEOGEO

What a tease! There’s nothing beyond the cryptic promise of a journey fans have never experienced and the ability to link it to NEO GEO Mini. Release window? Cost? Format? A whole lotta nada, friends. We’ll persevere regardless and update as soon as we learn more. In the interim, it’s really fun and exciting to see SNK throwing its hat back into the ring as a console manufacturer. Here’s hoping the good old days of ’90s gaming won’t stop any time soon! How about a revival of your own, Sega?
