NEO GEO X Gold Limited Edition

Came across a remake of this console recently. It can be considered as most expensive console during its time. Especially its game, it can be up to 400+SGD per cartridge. But it has the best graphics (in my opinion) compared to other consoles during its time. Basically, it is the same cartridge that is used in the arcade machine.

However, this remake is kind of different. It can be used as a handheld or plug into the mock up console and play on your TV with the joystick. This attracts me and the list of preloaded games, so I decided to buy it for childhood memories and owning it. And also the games I used to play at the arcade like Art of Fighting, Samurai Shodown etc.... 

The manufacturer has a dedicated website. I think the website is pretty good. And I love their unboxing video. 


Ok, now for my own purchase.Below is the pictures I took.

Mini review: It plays pretty much like the real thing. But I am not really happy with the video out to my LED TV, it seems so pixelated on a 39 inch TV. Maybe those old school CRT TV will have a better output since it is just a SDTV. HDTV doesn't look nice at all since there is no scaling done from the NGX itself.
