SNK and PLAION REPLAI team up to bring the ultimate home console back for its 35th anniversary. A celebration of bold, generational-leading hardware that set the standard for the golden age of sprite-based arcade gaming at home.
Introducing the NEOGEO AES+ Ultimate Edition, the legendary video game console, now reborn with its iconic high-quality design and unmistakable arcade-grade build in this exclusive limited print run and numbered edition including all games and accessories available at launch. The NEOGEO AES+ is a hardware-faithful reimplementation of the original Japanese machine keeping all aspects that made it an icon of the 90s, whilst adding modern features and quality-of-life improvements for the modern era of gaming.
Uncompromising gaming machine
Gameplay on the NEOGEO AES+ is not achieved through emulation - instead the console is powered by its legacy ASIC chips, re-engineered by modern standards to accurately replicate the original machine's hardware and software. The system natively plays game software from both new and old game cartridges for the most authentic retro gaming experience. Not emulation, not FPGA approximation, but true console reincarnation etched back into silicon.
Retro gaming of the future
While maintaining the original look and feel, the NEOGEO AES+ implements modern-day quality-of-life features such as low-latency HDMI display output (whilst also including the original AV output for CRT enthusiasts), DIP switches for language selection, overclocking and different display modes, and the ability to store permanent High Scores (Memory Card accessory required).
Arcade authenticity
The NEOGEO AES+ Ultimate Edition includes two of the iconic Arcade Stick (one wired and one wireless), a 1:1 replica of the original stick built to mirror the control panel found on SNK's legendary MVS arcade cabinets. Designed for the NEOGEO AES+, the Arcade Stick connects natively to the console via the classic 15-pin connector (or a 15-pin connector wireless dongle for the wireless version), making it backward-compatible with the original consoles from the 90s and making the original Arcade Sticks from the 90s forward-compatible with the NEOGEO AES+, for an unmatched arcade experience at home. This stick is the pinnacle of arcade purity with no compromises, delivering the look, feel and fast response that defined a gaming generation.
Ultimate Edition
The NEOGEO AES+ Ultimate Edition is the most complete and exclusive collection of all NEOGEO AES+ products, accessories and games, all included in one premium box. The NEOGEO AES+ units included in this product will be the first off the production line, numbered at the factory and produced in extremely low quantities – your very own chance to own a piece of history reborn! The NEOGEO AES+ Ultimate Edition box includes the NEOGEO AES+ game console, wired NEOGEO AES+ Arcade Stick, wireless NEOGEO AES+ Arcade Stick, wireless NEOGEO AES+ Gamepad, NEOGEO AES+ Memory Card and all ten game cartridges available at launch displayed in a beautifully designed game-rack: Metal Slug, The King of Fighters 2002, Garou: Mark of the Wolves, Big Tournament Golf, Shock Troopers, Samurai Shodown V Special, Pulstar, Twinkle Star Sprites, Magician Lord and Over Top.
