SNK has announced that the Neo Geo Mini is set to receive a limited edition Christmas variant which will come with more games included. This edition has 48 games available to play, as opposed to the standard edition’s 40.
From the 48 titles set to be available in the Christmas edition, nine are not available on the standard and international versions (both of which had different titles, which means you’ll need all three to truly be complete and contented). The image below shows all of the games you’ll be able to play, and you can find a full list of games from the original machine in our hardware review to compare.
No exact release date or pricing has been confirmed for this special release just yet, but it would be pretty safe to assume that it will become available over the next few weeks ready for Christmas. Of course, this new model – which may well be the most hideous-looking console we’ve ever seen – will likely make the original version a little less appealing thanks to its superior library of games, but at least the older model doesn’t look like a box of chocolates you got from Santa.
We’ll leave you with some images of the new Neo Geo Mini down below – it comes with two special edition gamepads, an HDMI cable, stickers and more. We feel sick just looking at it.
Would you like to get your hands on one of these? Did you already find a way of snagging the original for yourself? Let us know your thoughts on this below.
