Following a terrible launch last holiday season, Amazon has dropped the NeoGeo X Gold Limited Edition from $200 to only $129.99. This really shouldn’t come as a surprise, since there is still no word on when or even if there will be additional games released for the system. In any case, the NeoGeo X Gold comes with 20 games preinstalled (see below) and the LE includes a copy of Ninja Masters too.
Despite this not being the best console ever made, it’s certainly an interesting item if you’re a die hard SNK fan.
Update: It seems 15 games have been confirmed for release in the future. The first pack will include Metal Slug, Sengoku, and Top Hunter, plus a data / charging cable. According to Amazon they will cost a whopping $24.99 each and while some reports claim the first pack will release in April, all Amazon listings are set for May 30th.
More games have been confirmed for months. Poor journalism.
Do a simple search for “new NeoGeo X” games and you will see.

While I was not aware of that and the article has been corrected to reflect that, this was confirmed exactly a month ago. Even then not a ton of information / hype is surrounding the system, nor does there seem to be a lot of information surrounding these packs.
