NeoGeo X Classics: Volume 1 also has a system update on the card, but Tommo didn’t outline what the update addresses.

The SNK licensed device has ended its production run in Japan today. No more consoles will be manufactured or shipped in Japan.

The NeoGeo X Gold, a portable NeoGeo loaded with 20 ROMs, is arriving this week on December 6th.

Wii U isn’t the only “new” console coming out this holiday season. SNK and Tommo will release the NeoGeo X Gold on December 6. The heart of the device is a portable NeoGeo loaded with 20 ROMs.

The NeoGeo X Gold looks like slick piece of hardware. It’s a console, handheld. and has a replica NeoGeo arcade stick. While it is pre-loaded with 20 games, for $200 users should be able to add games to the system somehow.

If you’re considering to pay $199.99 for a new piece of SNK hardware you probably want a better look at what you’re going to buy.

The hardware is neat since the NeoGeo X Gold doubles as a console and a handheld. Plug it into the docking station and you can use a NeoGeo X joystick, which looks just like the classic NeoGeo stick.

Samurai Shodown, Metal Slug, and King of Fighters ’94 are coming to your pocket in a NeoGeo branded portable. Dubbed “NeoGeo X” this handheld has a 3.5″ LCD screen, SD card expansion slot, A/V output and 20 licensed NeoGeo games on the device.

The Neo Geo Portable is a new SNK branded handheld pre-loaded with twenty games like Metal Slug, Fatal Fury, and The King of Fighters ’94.
