Bring the new geo home in the nineties, and now we need it again

With the current situation of the control unit game world, I can only feel a missing thing. He used to have more competition, and there was something like a very distinguished console: the new geo. Where is the modern equivalent?

The new Geo Neo was very excited home console

In 1990, SNK Corporation issued the new geo. This was literally the same devices that you will find in SNK’s Arcade cabinets, but in the home control unit. For the Emiri amount of $ 649 (approximately $ 1500 in today’s money!) You can literally bring the corridors to the house. And it goes without saying, only the richest children who have new Geo, and more than a million units have been sold during the operation of the entire console, but if you want the top of what is possible in the home control unit system, there was no alternative.

Although Neo Geo Hardware has never sold in large numbers, games were very high, and they live today thanks to official (unofficial). I like to seize the corridor stick and play some Metal To detonate Steam after a hard day of writing about the games I hope to play.

I was only four years old when I launched the new geo, so by the time I knew his existence, he had already moved to history, but I realized what I made wonderful, and I love him if there was some modern equivalent to the new geographical from the old.

PlayStation 5 Pro is not

I’m sure most of you read this thinking immediately at the highest control unit you can buy while writing this: The PlayStation 5 Pro. The thing is that PlayStation 5 Pro does not follow the same philosophy as Neo Geo. It is not an uncompromising system in which he wants to present the technical state in the form of a console. It is a slightly more expensive version of the PS5 that contains smart improvements to give you the utmost uproar in 4K.

This makes PlayStation 5 Pro a great product with a clear goal, but it does not make it the spiritual caliph of Neo Geo!

Cheaper than a game for games but much better than the console unit

What will the control unit in the modern era be $ 1500? Certainly, it can outperform a computer worth $ 1500 by a long shot. It will be a system that includes the latest and largest technology such as artificial intelligence and ray tracking, however also Supports him with enough raw performance so that these techniques are just ice on the cake.

Unlike the current PS5 or Xboxes, this default console should not depend on computer technology. I have said that before I think Apple can make a truly excellent control unit based on Apple Apple. If you look at how quality M4 Pro MacBook Pro video game is as much as a fan of the fan noise, I can only imagine what the console that is designed for this purpose can do.

However, I don’t care from He has chutzpah to bring a distinct control unit in the price slide from 1500 to 2000 dollars to the market. Frankly, I think these days, as people spend thousands of dollars on the FPGA and GPU systems, there is a great place enough for a product like this.

Instead, with Steamos now spreading its wings to more systems, I can imagine a specially designed steam machine that will bother any of the current keyboards, but leave most things that the unit of computers control unit does not like. Especially if you only hold the most compatible games.

I will buy one if it exists

We do not really have the corridors as there are the most ambitious versions of the games. This is now an opening that is occupied by advanced computers, but there is a big gap between the keyboards and the excellent computer experience that I feel where you’ll find the new geo in the nineties.

In fact, I will go to the extent that if such an excellent control unit has such a unit, I will tend to go with that instead of One or more expensive prices are similar prices, but all I can do is the dream until a crazy person decides somewhere that it is worth returning the super unit slice.
