It's really a shame that they made it that expensive only because the Neo Geo stuff is expensive as well. That's intended and something you can also note with other systems like the Amiga. If the base stuff is expensive, add-ons are made very expensive as well. This should be way under 200 bucks - but it's apparently aimed at elite people with big pockets. They missed the opportunity to open Neo Geo games to a wider audience with that premium price.

​@@BasementBrothers ​ Maybe you would prefer the synopsis of Strikers 1945 Plus instead? It is winter of 1945 and the Strikers have successfully eliminated C.A.N.Y.'s forces. The fierce fight was considered a militarist coup d'état disapproving the acceptance of the Potsdam Declaration. The threat posed by C.A.N.Y. enshrouded the world in the shadow of war. Meanwhile, data on C.A.N.Y.'s new weapons, tightly sealed by the US Department of Defense was leaked by a new organization, codenamed "F.G.R.", threatening to drag the world into the chaos of war once again with it. Upon learning of the situation, the Strikers, who had been appointed as a new weapons development experimental unit, were convened once again as protectors of the world! It has since received a re-release by Hamster Corporation, a Japanese video game publisher, with office located in Setagaya, Tokyo, Japan, in recent years on digital distribution platforms. Hamster.

Samurai Spirits RPG is available in French. I know two attempts to translate it into English and one into Spanish that went beyond 50% completion, but apparently it's really hard to edit because the way the text is encrypted in the game, and the teams just couldn't keep throwing hours into it. If the game was truly gem it would pay off, but beyond those nice graphics and sound, the game is no Chrono Trigger. The plot doesn't bring anything new to your typical mid 90s JRPG, and the game is quite difficult and grindy. At least the combat system is original so, it well deserves a gameplay for hardcore fans of both JRPGs and Samurai Shodown.

it strikes me as the kind of product that would work perfectly in a home made Arcade Cab as a "Set and Forget" kind of product so in all honesty the €550/ $600 price tag kinda makes sense compared to the alternative,, itl still be the most expensive part of your cab but its more than worth it

Hey @Game Sack that footage you showed of "Last Resort" when you were talking about the CD audio issues not only had the volume increase you mentioned however it also was sped up and was at a higher pitch than the original just FYI. Great video as always. I am obsessed with anything Neo Geo. Have a great one!

There have been several attempts to translate that Samurai Spirits RPG, but they've all eventually been abandoned.

When you first mentioned the price, I actually didn't think it was expensive, for me it is, but for people who has the console, it's the best way to have its whole collection.

Is there any Terraonion product that isn't hilariously overpriced? Just asking for my mom.

I bought one and am really excited to play it in my cab once it's up and running again. The price is really steep, but with the cost of MVS carts, you'd be spending up to 6 figures to purchase every game you can play on this device. I really wish someone would just make a good version of the 161-1 cart. All the games, right there, instant loading, no boots or bugs, no weird game omissions.

Garou: Mark of The Wolves is so awesome.

I have the original NeoSD for my AES. Glad to hear I am not missing out that much on the pro version

Someone did translate SSRPG. They just didn't share it with anyone before they deleted all their work. You can still watch a video of the translation on KZread (channel is MoriyaMug). There are other projects to translate the game, but have never been completed.

I agree, it's always fun to see footage of Neo Geo games.

Gettin’ some Bob Ross vibes at the end of the video. And was that Professor Layton music? I’ve had problems with garbled graphics. Some say it could be power supply related.

I had issues with garbled graphics on SD Pro AES and Terraonion did provide a firmware update but it still happens from time to time. I find a reset tends to fix the problem though.

I like emulators for the ease of use, for being an inexpensive way to play the old systems and for having the best possible image connection available without any problems. But if I could, I would have all the systems and their respective flash cartridges. But I am happy to have a strong PC connected to my CRT monitor just for this function, except for the Nintendo 64 that until today does not play all games perfectly, so I have the console with RGB just for this.

I have the non-pro version and I’m in love. Aside, the loading times, it is worth the price. Playing the full rom set on real hardware is insane. I also use the brook converter to play with a ps3 controller. I prefer the controller for some games.

I would love to get one of these and an AES. Maybe in Feb of next year when i get some extra money. Great in depth video on this awesome product.

Neo geo is a fascinating console that recently got back into trying run through emulation.The controller or joystick board is still baffling me to this day because it only had four base buttons and start/select buttons, while super nintendo and genesis had six buttons. I'm glad you're covering this. Thank you, keep up the good work.

You are baffled by this? When did these systems launch? How many buttons did they have at launch? Go look up the Neo Geo MaJong controller and bask in the buttons!

It's like I stated in a previous Game Sack episode not everyone has money stacked to the sky to purchase the actual physical copies of games epsecially Neo Geo games so this makes economical sense.

Retro gaming ASMR we deserved, finally!

I have the original NeoSD AES. If I didn't already own that I'd spring for the Pro, but upgrading doesn't seem worth the cost. If you're a little cracked and need to play all the Neo Geo games on real hardware, yeah, this is how you're going to want to do it. If you're flat out insane, you could also collect the original cartridges. The device has its quirks for sure. I've never run into the audio issue but there have been minor annoyances here and there. I like it.

My only minor gripe with this SD devices is the lack of save states. Other than that, I find them to be fantastic, love what the company is doing.

I am looking forward to more NeoGeo games immensely!

Now I want audibles in that ASMR style!

I really like short episodes! 👏👏👏

lol that ending was pure gold

Thank you for keeping game sack alive, Joe!

Bought an AES over the summer and was looking for one of these, but couldn’t snag one on eBay in time. But I found a Darksoft Multicart which was cheaper than both the NeoSD regular and Pro, so it worked out... especially knowing the one thing I want from the Pro, playing CD games, doesn’t even work with that well with the music (and it’s not like there is a large selection of exclusive CD games)

Props for that Layton music!

Imagine showing that tiny memory card to your past self and saying, "all the neogeo games, right here". Mind blown.

The headphone jack is there, but from what I understand, support for the link cable feature has not been implemented.

Question. I have a 4 Slot Neo Geo MVS in my Big Red Cabinet. If I swapped it out with a single slot MVS and used this NeoSD Pro and put 4 games into the flash slots, can I still use the Switch Game button to switch between the 4 games during the attract mode? Or do I have to use the NeoSD Menu display to now switch between the 4 slots?

I'm totally getting the amateur version so I can play all the non pro versions of the games!

Love the alpha mission ii music there joe. I want an aes one.

And now finally people can play neo geo games without having to spend a fortune on carts. Oh wait, you still have to spend a fortune on this cart.

I could listen to you say slot all day

My opinion is that you're are awesome, Joe.

13:44 I wasn't looking at the video, I heard the sound. Almost thought you were going to do a video about professor layton.

The AES console doesn't even cost that much and is much neater. At first I didn't think it was worth it but I got sick of how crap the 161 in 1 carts are and you get a nice shell and case so it looks like the type of thing you would buy in a shop. I like to pretend I'm a rich person from 1992 by playing this. I have always use the ram to load the games, I don't see much point in having flash memory but some people on the neogeo forums insisted that it was the most important thing ever to be able to switch games like in the arcade. I'm currently playing panic bomber, I don't want to rush through all the games so I'm playing the early ones first. Neo geo doesn't have that many games but its not like Genesis which has 20 really crappy NFL games, every game is something that you would want to play. And emulation is pretty good until you get to a game that doesn't work right and those pandora boxes have bad input lag.

Its cool that there is a flashcart for this. I mean its insane that the original games are as expensive as they are.

I tried Ghost Pilots on the PS4 via the Hamster Neo Geo re-releases, it didn't grab me for some reason. However there are do many games uploaded, I wonder if they're running out of Neo Geo games to add to the service?

I really enjoy these tech vids. Some of my favourite episodes are the console breakdowns. The neo geo was always impressive but out of reach for most it's always interesting to see. Would love to see more vids like this... and why the HELL doesn't Joe have a career narrating audio books?

Cool vid Joe, thanks. Actually I am planning to get one, so this was rather informative. No mention of the alternative cart from Darksoft though?

I love the "I have no idea" hahah :D GG man when it's related to neogeo we become freakin crazy :s thanks for the review but still it's expensive compared to Darksoft multigames

I would love to get into this but I’m clueless when it comes to messing with files and the setup involved in getting the games to run

Show us how do you consolized your arcade board. There are easy CRT tv option? (svideo or component). I see there is a device on the jamma connector...

Holy cow that is some price tag. But the accessibility is sweet. Plus excellent quality picture, and audio. Uh why did they make the plugins so close to where you have to insert the cartridge?! SNK was right "the future is now"

Thanks for pointing out the sound issue I am having the same issue on my 4 slot. Was dreading pulling the motherboard to troubleshoot as it has been finicky of late. Where did you get the firmware update? Doesn't look like they have posted it in their downloads section yet.

So I have a supergun and MV1FZ. Compared with the 161 in 1, how does it stack up? Is the 161 in 1 on original hardware with Unibios 4.0 gonna get me a very similar experience, short of the CD game availability?

Considering that game carts cost so much, looks like a good alternative!

Very good choice of intro music , Alpha Mission 2 is the best space shooter ever made ;)

Love it thank you 🙏

I have one question can we use the Neo SD Pro MVS on the AES with adaptator ? Merci

I was lucky enough to get the AES Pro version when it first launched. People complain about the price but original Neo Geo carts especially some of the rare titles can go for over $600 alone, so in the end its more than worth it. Terraonion themselves have said that these are too expensive of a product to be sitting around so who knows if they are discontinued or not? You may have a collectors item Joe.
