The USB power brick is because of eu regulations, they aren’t allowed to include them as per a cellphone created law years ago and I believe in Japan they followed suit. Only straight up NA consoles will have them included these days. I think it was tied to the law that required all cellphones to use standard USB connectors there.

A good reason to "stretch out" the image could be to fit 4:3 TVs that can't letterbox and are using some sort of HDMI downscaler.

[GameSack]

Wow Shane look at all of that dandruff on your shirt! :P - I usually don't like a variety of different console colors, especially translucent, but I gotta say that blue on this one looks really good.

Releases a new version of a mini console. Decides not to add micro switches again even after the requests.

GOD DAMMIT

"...an option to stretch it out 16:9 which nobody should do"

THANK YOU!

I cringe whenever I see retro gamers on YouTube show footage like this. Why do I want to see the game look fat and distorted? I'll take black bars any day of the week.

The Neo-Geo Mini feels like Chinesium. Knowing how Leyou Technologies (a former chicken distributor turned videogame distributor/producer) had the company since 2014, the quality of this machine being this cheap isn't surprising in the least.
Even just making the "stick" a hat over membranes would've been better than analogue controls on a system originally designed with *digital controls* in mind. But just membrane switches would've took "too long to make" (read: too costly) just like what SNK's social media said about the lack of microswitches when someone brought that up.

[WickedGamerCollector]

I like this colour love to have this 149 euro I don't know....
From this point they releases 7 versions now WHAhahahaha....
Great & honest review Rerez, Bummer about the controller with no micro switches it's bummer..
We want Nostalgia all over again not basic analog stick in an controller. :(

Why are people still expecting usb power adapters? Heck, I have a lot of mini consoles and just ended up getting an Anker 8 port USB power hub. It only takes up one plug behind my TV but powers 8 USB powered devices. I have 6 devices right now that run on USB power so I'm saving 7 plugs behind my TV by using this. When things come with a USB power brick I don't use them. . .

I hate it when stuff needs a power adapter to work, but no adapter is included, yet every console made nowadays comes with an HDMI cable. Caddicarus said it the best. "I have so many bloody HDMI cables, I could hang myself with them!" I have 1 adapter. Only 1. It is a quick charger for my phone so not everything will work with it and if you need me to have an adapter that fits in the house, just throw the damn HDMI cable out and give me an adapter instead!

Fan of the SS series, hence the nickname. But I already calmed my lust after I bought the arcade jamma neogeo versions of all my fav games.after all there are only like 150 games overall. Love my supergun.

[gentlesoul]

The one question is did they mess up the intro sound.

[SuaveCerealKiller]

I have the international version and love it. I never had a Neo geo at home and only played a couple games in my local arcade, so I have no real nostalgia. Mostly I played whatever games got ported to the Genesis or ps1. If you get one at the right price, it's fine.

[JimmysALilGirl]

I've never been a fan of the "smoothing" option for older games. While it does make the image look less "blocky" it also makes it more blurry. I don't hate it I just don't use it as much. I'll use it for a while but then I always end up turning it off.

Finally a portable gaming console that plays games from the 90s

[doftysalty]

I've really wanted to try that mini console out for awhile. I'm starting to get into Neo Geo more and a console like that would probably be right for me. Very good review.

[dave]

It still pisses me off that they haven't fixed the raster effects issue, which becomes apparent in Samurai Shodown 3.

[LungMing]

The low view count for this video has me confused. Thanks for all you guys do at Rerez!

[Retrocidal]

Dam I'd love one of these always wanted a neo geo and a kid they where is very expensive but awsome

[shattercross]

I picked up the Mini last fall and while far from perfect, It’s a nice novelty for hardcore fans. It’s a step above those cheap mini arcades you see at Walmart but still several steps below Nintendo’s miniature efforts. I’d like to see somebody hack it so I can throw SvC chaos on it.
