Neo-Geo : The Game Console That Won't Die
xonox writes: "Perhaps you heard about the Neo-Geo game console when it came out some 12 years ago. Most people remember it because it was very expensive. Well, after 12 years, it is still alive and getting brand new commercial games for it. It may be a bit of a niche item but still. The Neo-Geo console was essentially the arcade hardware of the same name inside a prettier case. 3 games have been produced this year for the arcade hardware and two of those 3 have been released for the home console. If you think 2d games are cool, then you should check out http://www.neo-geo.com for more information about one of the greatest 2d platforms of all time. I'm picking playability over 3d anyday :)"
Who cares?
Wow, some piece of shit outdated console that NO ONE CARES ABOUT, AND HAS WORSE GRAPHICS POWER THAN A 2002 EDITION 'SPEAK-N-SPELL' TOY!
"News for Nerds. Stuff that matters."
Uh huh, yup.
Note parent doesn't list his country of origin. Hypocrite. Lets review some facts-
In 1992, the United States ratified the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. Article 6(5) of this international human rights treaty requires that the death penalty not be used on those who committed their crimes when they were below the age of 18
At which point I have to ask the author of the comment if he considers 18 year olds "childern". Also note....
Countries which have the death penalty for ordinary crimes, of which most have a limiting age of 18.

For the rest, sorry for the off-topic. I just can't stand these people.
You need a FREE iPod Nano
Who the Hell would buy a ridiculously expensive system with even more ridiculously expensive games without even seeing it in action first? People can't try out a Neo Geo in the local Electronics Boutique, nor can they take it for a spin over a friend's house. The only way to take the NG for a test drive is to pirate the games for a few hours.
Yeah, and just about everyone has their money on that bastard copyright holder being Nintendo. The entire thing had their style written all over it.
