SNK and Plaion have announced the Neo Geo AES+, a modernized remake of the classic 1990s arcade console that accepts original cartridges and outputs to HDMI. The device bridges retro gaming with contemporary displays.
The Neo Geo AES+ faithfully recreates SNK's high-end console from the '90s while adding modern connectivity. The remake supports HDMI output at resolutions up to 1080p, allowing original Neo Geo cartridges to display on current televisions and monitors.
Playon, known for its all-black Commodore 64 remake, collaborated with SNK on the project. The original Neo Geo Advanced Entertainment System carried a premium price tag, limiting its reach to collectors and arcade enthusiasts. The AES+ aims to make the classic library more accessible to players with disposable income.
The remake maintains backward compatibility with the extensive Neo Geo cartridge catalog, spanning arcade classics and exclusive titles. Specific pricing, release date, and additional features have not yet been disclosed. The announcement follows continued interest in premium retro console remakes as collectors seek modern conveniences without sacrificing original game compatibility.
