Slimmed-Down Arcade Systems

The Neo Geo Consolized MVS is a Trimmed-Fat Version of the Classic

— April 21, 2011 — Tech
True old school gamers are going to be delighted by the Neo Geo Consolized MVS. Analogue Interactive has created a home-version of the classic arcade multi-game Neo Geo MVS. 'Metal Slug' fans, this one's for you.

The Neo Geo Consolized MVS is made from 100 percent walnut wood and is "completely seamless from all visible angles, no screws or nails." The system is powered by a rechargeable battery and is compatible with all Neo Geo joysticks and controllers. As a huge fan of the MVS side-scrolling shooter 'Metal Slug,' I am more than a little excited about this console. Analogue Interactive has made it easier for gamers to enjoy Neo Geo's classic arcade games without having to actually buy the big and bulky machine. This $650 piece of nostalgia is up for pre-order now and is expected to ship sometime in May.
