Retro lovers, your new toy has arrived. After much hype and promotion, the Neo Geo X Gold Limited Edition has hit store shelves, allowing fans to legitimately own a piece of one of the most loved brands in history. This set comes with a NEOGEO X Arcade Stick and the NEOGEO X Station – a replica of the NEOGEO AES console that allows memorable NEOGEO titles to be played on a big screen or monitor via HDMI or composite cable, and has 20 games already on the platform, ready to enjoy.

I am personally still on the fence for this device myself. Yes, it’s a beautiful piece of hardware, but that $199.99 price-tag is still a bit much considering the age of these ports. Collectors however will find this is the BEST way to obtain a NEO GEO device, and well worth the investment for nostalgia purposes alone. You can find the NEO GEO X Gold in stores today (as well as throughout many online retailers), and check out the drool-worthy launch trailer down below.
