A new Neo-Geo handheld, eh? Sounds pretty good to me! :3

I still have my Neo-Geo and it's in good shape. It'd be pretty cool to see the modern return of a classic gaming platform; and I kind of like the design.

I really like the design on it.

I never had a Neo-Geo Pocket, and actually, didn't know a single person who did. Mainly because everybody already had a Game Boy.

I can't help but feel it's going to suffer the same fate. Unless it has some amazing killer-app games, people are probably just going to skip it over for the 3DS or Vita, made by recognizable names in the gaming market.
