>156 games
of those only like a handful are genuinely great titles.
>almost every single one is a 10/10
.. if you like arcade titles and shelling out hundreds of dollars for it sure
>absurdly high quality 2D graphics and animation even compared to consoles that came out ~5 years later, arguably better than most 6th or 7th gen 2D games and better than anything made today despite coming out in fucking 1990
was already far surpassed by other consoles by 1993
>almost all multiplayer games let second player join at any time
So two players? Oh gosh! I guess there was no other consoles that also had multiplayer.
>butter smooth controls with the best arcade gamepad ever produced
Highly debatable
>looks cool as fuck
Looks like a hung of black plastic with an enormous controller nearly the size of the controller. Aesthetics was not it's strong suit
>arcade perfect games on console, going so far as to let MVS games work on AES hardware with a converter and vice versa
So? That's what it was marketed as.
>can use a memory card to transfer saves between arcade and home
OF ARCADE SCORES WOW
>instant load times that even let you skip the startup sequence and tutorials of every game with a single button press
Cartridge based medium, so not exactly an edge compared to any other cartridge based console. They still fucked up with the Neo geo CD
>filters the shit out of poorfaggots who can't afford it
I've probably been emulating the Neo Geo since the late early 2000's- just about anything can emulate it, and since 98% of the games are just arcade games, you don't really gain anything from actually owning the original hardware.

The cartridges also have scads of actual problems (not just my experience). Out in the wild even the crappiest Neo Geo titles are artificially price hiked. The console was actually a huge failure, and the demand for it was low, so obviously it is practically an antique as well as a collector's item.
