SNK Handheld

[DigitalDuck]

It is interesting that it is called the 'Neo Geo Keitai'......'Keitai' means mobile phone in Japanese.

Hmmmmm

Nope, it just means "mobile", i.e. "portable". It's used as a contraction of 携帯電話 (keitai denwa, mobile phone) in the same way "mobile" is in English, but in this context it has about as much to do with phones as a mobile home does.

Just in, exclusive new pics of the Neo Geo Mobile

If this features and AV out too then I will be even more excited by it.

A way of adding a second player too would make it a thing of dreams (wet ones )

It does have an A/V out port - see the quote I provided in the OP.

I hope they sort those buttons out.

[DreamcastRIP]

The size of the inner shoulder buttons perhaps could ideally do with being a little larger relative to the the outer shoulder buttons.

What's with the shoulder button arrangement too? Very strange!

Ooops! My mistake - I guess I was just too excited by this!!!!

I actually can't remember the last time I was excited about the release of a new console of any type

[AmigaJay]

I'm personally not excited by this now, i was when i first heard the news, but this is nothing more than a licensed emulation handheld from china, it looks quite nice though, but i would have picked it up if SNK Playmore made a few new releases in amongst the old classics, as it is its just licensed Neo-Geo games through emulation....

I cant see them being used much in emulation so shouldn't be too much of a problem.

[GigaPepsiMan]

It is an odd way to do the buttons but calling them L1 and R2 isn't an issue if it is just for emulated games, just change the button settings and be done wth it.

Agreed. It may well end up being little more than a Dingoo/Caanoo-type device with the appearance of a slightly larger version of an iPhone 4/4S with 'proper' controls ... but if the price is right I'm still definitely interested.

[felgekarp]

Stranger and stranger, are we sure this is actually real?

[kiwimike]

Yeah, it seems a little odd, and if real I'm interested...but like most once the initial 'WOW' wore off I don't know if it excites me that much. It'll depend on price/games etc

[rocky1980]

I hope its real would be a nice little thing to own
