Make this to use on my conversion from Jambo Safari to sitdown NUC.

Here are my thoughts on the Neo Geo AES+. Since it’s been confirmed to use an ASIC rather than emulation, it will likely have a structure very close to the original Neo Geo AES.
That said, whether this “authenticity” is a strength or a weakness is up for debate. Being identical in design essentially means it’s optimized for CRT displays, so the HDMI output will probably be comparable to older RGB-to-HDMI converters. Because of that, when connected to a modern LCD TV, the image quality could actually feel inferior to today’s emulator-based systems.
Another drawback is the likely lack of support for external storage like SD cards. If that’s the case, paying around $90 per game becomes a significant burden. It might be more acceptable if a steady stream of new titles were released, but if not, there’s a real chance the system’s usable library could be limited to the initial lineup of around ten games. On top of that, if the package art had been identical to the original releases, it would have added more collectible appeal—but the designs revealed so far are noticeably different.
On the other hand, the story changes completely if you own a CRT TV. Being able to experience visuals and feel almost identical to the original Neo Geo is a huge advantage. There are even rumors of RGB output support, which could deliver an even better image when paired with a dedicated display or monitor.
In the end, the Neo Geo AES+ could be the perfect gift for old-school gamers who have long admired the Neo Geo. But for more casual players without that nostalgia, it may end up being nothing more than an expensive novelty.

I’ve heard the news that Mr. George Morikawa, creator of “Hajime No Ippo” left the hospital recently and is getting better.
I am currently in Japan and would love to give him my respects and a little gift if available. My office staff are huge fans of his work and I know that the WBC belt in the anime, just as in real life, is the maximum glory and goal for the boxers.
