The next in line for the #NEOGEO legacy comes the #NEOGEO Arcade Stick Pro. It’s an incredibly unique fighting stick in that it comes with fighting games pre-installed! It was inspired by the #NEOGEO CD’s controller design and was blown up to fighting stick size. (W 430mm×D 215mm×H 125mm) Additionally, the arcade stick can switch between two modes: Arcade Stick Mode and Console Mode.

Each side has a USB-C port for controller support, while the back of the unit features the power switch, a USB-C port to power the unit, a headphone jack, and a mini-HDMI port to connect to an HD television. Aside from the Mini itself, the package includes a USB power cable, two mini-marquee stickers that can be placed directly above the screen, and a Neo Geo sticker.

Named after its designer, Gert van Loo, the Gertboard is an IO expansion board for the Raspberry Pi with a lot of flexibility.
Plug the Gertboard into the GPIO header on your Raspberry Pi and you’re ready to start detecting and responding to events in the real world. Jumper wires (called “straps”) and pin jumpers are used to reconfigure the board in any number of ways. Whether you need to detect button presses or analog voltages, control motors or relays, the Gertboard is the ultimate tool for exploring the Raspberry Pi’s full I/O potential!
Features:
The NEO GEO X Gold entertainment system comes complete with the NEO GEO X Station, the NEO GEO X Handheld with 20 pre-loaded NEO GEO classic titles, and the NEO GEO X Joystick. In addition to coming preloaded with 20 NEO GEO classic titles, the NEO GEO X Handheld device features a crisp 4.3-inch LCD display, an expandable game card slot, internal stereo speakers, and a 3.5 mm headphone jack for a personal gaming experience you can take anywhere.
Unboxing the Neo Geo X is dead simple. The main display box contains two smaller white boxes of approximately the same size. Each white box, has a Neo Geo logo sticker on it to indicate whether it has been opened or not. The hand held console, the huge docking station and instructions are in one box, while the power adapter, RCA cable, Neo Geo stick a and Ninja Masters SD card are in the other.
For a limited time, the PRE-ORDER ONLY NEO GEO X GOLD LIMITED EDITION was coming with a free NINJA MASTER’S NEO GEO X Game Card. The system comes with 20 games built in and multiple genres are covered, from fighting to sports to side scrolling shooters. There is better games available on the machine but Tommo Inc. may want to sell them us later…
The hand held is feeling heavy in the hand and rubberized in the back with a really cool SNK silver logo embedded in it.
The docking station itself looks like an original Neo Geo Home AES console (albeit smaller). it has 2 video output both in 4:3 format
Both video output are near from being perfect. (see limitations). The sound is great and really close if not identical to the original AES sound.
The lid do not close well and you ll have to press firmly to close it all the times. the docking is a cool idea and will be a nice addition to any vintage gaming console collection.
If you’re lucky to order 3 Neo Geo X like me, you may get them in the original Tommo Inc. box like me.
* but that may change with a firmware update, at least I hope. The hacker scene is already providing new ROMS and firmware!
If you ever played a Neo Geo Arcade unit and want to re-live those good times look no further: the Neo Geo X is for you! Overall a great gaming machine for any serious gamer in the 40 years old range

Subject: NEOGEO X Gold System Revised Release Date
Dear xxxxxx,
We are collecting the NeoGeo X consoles and joysticks directly from the manufacturer between the 19th – 22nd December. We are going to air freight these over (may I add at great expense) on a priority chartered service.
Can you please provide all of the outstanding orders (and please keep me updated with new orders as they come through) and we will ship these directly from our warehouse to your customers – this will save some critical days and ensure your customers receive the product as quickly as possible. We have cancelled all Christmas leave for all our employees until the last unit has been shipped to your customers. This is not as drastic as it sounds as all our team volunteered this, of course, including myself. We expect to ship between Christmas and New Year. As per our discussion, please also remain open to process enquiries, customer support and additional orders during this period.
We will ship using either DHL or FedEx (depending upon who will deliver the quickest) and we will provide the tracking information to all of your customers to you, so you can quickly and easily track all deliveries.
We might miss Christmas by a few days, but we are doing all we can to ensure that your customers get the NEO GEO X Gold System as quickly as is humanely possible!
Sorry again for the delay, please apologise to your customers on our behalf for this and although all the issues have been completely out of the control of BLAZE, we are doing all we can to make this right. Feel free to forward our email address to anyone that would like to speak to us directly, we don’t have any secrets!
Regards
Jason
