The release of the Neo Geo AES Plus, a reissue of the original 1990 Neo Geo home console, has been delayed from November 12, 2026, to September 16, 2027. This delay is due to challenges in obtaining necessary components, particularly memory chips, which are in high demand by data centers working on artificial intelligence projects. Despite the delay, pre-orders are still open, and customers can take advantage of a discount of over 15 euros. The Neo Geo AES Plus is priced at 199.99 euros, with a reduced pre-order price of 183.99 euros through the French retailer Cdiscount using the promo code 15DES129. This console is a 1:1 replica of the original 1990 model, featuring modern upgrades while maintaining the classic look. It includes an HDMI output for Full HD playback and is compatible with original cartridges from the original Neo Geo system. Additional features include an Arcade Stick controller and vertical cartridge insertion, mirroring the original design. For modern use, the console adds a low-latency HDMI output that supports 1080p resolution. It also retains an original AV output, allowing users to connect it to cathode ray tube (CRT) screens for an authentic retro gaming experience. Unlike many modern consoles that use software emulation to recreate old systems, the Neo Geo AES Plus uses new silicon to recreate the original Neo Geo's ASIC chips, ensuring authentic performance. The console comes with several classic titles, including Metal Slug, Garou: Mark of the Wolves, and The King of Fighters 2002. These games are known for their high-quality graphics and gameplay, and their inclusion makes the Neo Geo AES Plus a valuable option for retro gaming enthusiasts looking to experience these titles on original hardware with modern enhancements.
