My BIGGEST Unboxing! - NEO GEO MVSX Home Arcade

Check out OneProvider at bit.ly/3dLfl2N
NEO GEO was huge in the 90s as the brand you'd see often at arcades. They did have a console but it never took off compared to Sega and Nintendo. You can take home this retro-looking arcade, but we're not sure if the memories are worth $450.

Think you just defined a whole consumer market that this taps into: 5% Game collector aficionados 5% Confused parents who's kids wanted a PS5 and this must be better as included a screen as well 89% Serotonin/dopamine unbalanced shoppers. 1% Scalpers who are not market aware

[@bkslsh]

For those wondering, Samsung TVs from the late 90s and early 2000s had diagonal, 45 degree scan lines. It's supposed to be less distracting than horizontal scanlines. Vertical scan lines would be emulating a CRT set on its side - a lot of arcade games had sideways screens to allow for more verticality.

[@-DeScruff]

Yeah sideways CRTs (usually referred to as "Tate mode") are actually fairly common with classic arcade games like pacman and are often seen in vertical shooters like Raiden, or 1942. But I don't think the MVS had any Tate games... It wouldn't really make sense to ether since the whole point was that you didn't need to get a new arcade cabinet to get new games, and that cabinets could have any 4 MVS games in them.

[@CraigEngbrecht]

I did actually wonder. So at the very least you have helped one person.

[@NETBotic]

I love when top comment is something you were about to search for more info on.

[@jubuttib]

This however apparently was never a thing for any Neo Geo game or cabinet, so it must only be there because some of the display effects used are generic libraries.

[@ganondorf66]

[@Movie_Games]

I'd pay $450 for this if there was some sort of computer in it that accepted ROMs.

[@wing0zero]

You could mod a Pi 4 in dead cheap, but for that much if you take time you could build a full size cab with better screen, sticks and buttons.

[@Anaerin]

You can load other NeoGeo ROMs from a USB stick in the back, apparently.

[@geetsthenerd]

It has a USB port and 2 extra buttons that no NeoGeo game will ever use, so I think they built it knowing people would want to add more games from other systems. All we have to do is wait until the emulation community does its thing.

[@TorutheRedFox]

I think all these modern arcade machines are mainly targeted at offices. I've seen a few of them (not this particular brand, just in general) in break rooms as gimmicks. For a company 450$ is not a lot of money if they get a cool toy for their employees.

[@NSixtyFour]

No its for ppl like my brother. In their 30s. No kids. Now have own place and good job. Money to waste and nostalgia to milk. Ever notice its always games from 20 years ago?.

[@TorutheRedFox]

@@NSixtyFour well nobody really has any nostalgia for arcade games from the 2000s yet as they're still ridiculously common

[@user-le8ul4nr5t]

Honestly there's a point to getting an actual jamma cabinet. Not only can you put an MVS slot, with a 150 in 1 cartrige ( or at least I think it's jamma, and if it isn't it popular enough that there's probably an adapter so you can use it over jamma ), you can also get most other arcade boards, and those cool looking n in 1 jamma boards. You just get a ton more games, and a proper display, no scaling/ fake scanlines and stuff.

[@CommodoreFan64]

@@NSixtyFour i'm almost 40, I have a girlfriend with a daughter about the graduate high school, and I still want one for my game room to go on top of my tiki bar. I also have an average paying job, so I'll have to save up a bit, but I've had the goal for a few years now to own 1 arcade machine, and this looks like one of the better mass produced ones made with lots of games, but these people you see on KZbin who just keep buying the Arcade 1Up cabs at $300+ with only a couple of games in them over, and over with iffy build quality, now that's a waste of money IMHO, and I'm sure with this one someone will offer an adapter kit to mod in a Raspberry Pi 4 8GB at some point so you can load MAME onto it making it a much better value for those like me who don't want to have to make their own cab.

[@CommodoreFan64]

@@TorutheRedFox Outside of Japan the 2000's and up era of arcade games have mostly been ticket machines, and Dave & Busters crap games, so I don't think as many will have nostalgic feelings for them for companies to even try to make machines like this for them.

[@maulerrw]

4:15 Anthony, it has a power brick and not internal for compliance reasons. When a PSU is internal they instantly have to comply to a bunch of different standards as the device itself is considered mains powered. An external supply can be made by another company and be already approved, then the console isnt classified as mains powered. Thus, avoiding additional costs and certifications required for emissions and safety. If it's still an engineering sample they may just have added an external to get it out the door.

[@wobblysauce]

That said... there is nothing stopping you from mounting it internally yourself.

[@88porpoise]

If this is just for the sample, fine, but when you can buy a PS5 for considerably less than this, cutting corners like that is an issue.

[@nanaholic01]

​@@88porpoise Sony will sell more PS5 in a day then SNK will sell this in a year and Sony will be making more money at the same time, it's not an issue because you should be paying more for a super niche product.

[@gorkskoal9315]

that was probably easier to get a bajillion that were premade bong standard power to usb thing.

[@machielvanderschoot5180]

When you use an external powersupply, "regulations" see it as a low voltage device, therefore much easier to get cleared for safety. The 110V/230V safety regulations lays with the manufacturer of the external power supply. Once you connect a 110/230V directly to the arcade machine, then that whole device falls under that strict catagory.

[@CommodoreFan64]

This 100%, plus it's cheaper to go with a common external power supply that if it gets damaged in someway can be easy to replace.

[@jblps]

Sell the power supply as an "included addon" with simple installation. It's just a waste of space the way they are doing it.

[@alhadinon]

Yeah, I was looking for that exact comment to proof my thoughts on why they use an external PSU. 🙈 Thank you! 😁

[@wobblysauce]

That said... there is nothing stopping you from mounting it internally.

[@CommodoreFan64]

@@wobblysauce No nothing stopping you other than having to modify the power jack to be internal, and then pass the power plug through the case, but it would cause more heat to be inside the system as the PSU heats up. I would rather just cable manage the wires with some zip ties, and use some 3M double sided tape to mount the PSU to the outside of the back panel for airflow, and if it ever fails for some reason it's easier to place then having to open the system back up.

[@GadgetAddict]

Personally I'm okay with the external power brick because it's gonna be easy to replace if something goes wrong. If they built the power supply onto the board, a regular person would have a hard time repairing it. Maybe the best of both worlds would be to hide the power brick inside. But I'm not sure if it would get too hot.

[@Toastmaster_5000]

Generally speaking, if you've got a processor that doesn't even need a heatsink, your power supply doesn't to worry about cooling either.

[@thedopplereffect00]

The main reason is for NRTL compliance. Easier to get an already approved power supply than to have the entire cabinet inspected for safety.

[@zodiacfml]

@@thedopplereffect00 More like it is using a Raspberry Pi computer or similar to power the emulation

[@user-le8ul4nr5t]

@@NSixtyFour Depends on what experience you're looking for, if it's the true home arcade experience, and collecting each cartrige individually that's not even a bargain anymore. But if you just wanna play them games more or less legally, you can probably built an MVS system with a 150 in 1 cartrige for way less (also games and consoles are way cheaper on the MVS side of things, so go with that even if you don't want an all in one cartrige ).

[@user-io9hj9ip2d]

people are fin with a $200 arcade machine with 1-2 games but $450 for 50 games is too much? lol for any die hard SNK fan this is an absolute steal! especially because it actually has all the KoF games

[@trashandchaos]

I mean considering the AES was $650 without games in 1990 money (almost 1300 in 2020 money), that's not terrible. 50 games is pretty solid when you think about the competition, those Arcade 1 Up machines have a couple games tops and are about half as much. Plus they're Neo Geo games, which are a fair bit better quality than most other contemporary retro games imo.

[@FoxxFire]

This is awesome. We had a neo geo as a kid that was bought by my grandfather, and we had quite a few games. I remember the cartridge size. My friends were in awe to see this video game. It was wwwaaaayyyy ahead of its time. I was young at the time (the machine belonged to my older brother), but I do remember going to a specialty electronics store to get it, and I remember everything being in Japanese. Buying the neo geo and games for it was like doing a drug deal lol. It was not something in the main part of the store. This was a total back room item, and I don't remember the exact cost, but it was not cheap. And the games were incredible.

Depends on what are you standards for quality and effort. You can get cheap MVS consoles/carts seconhand, pair that with a supergun and some joysticks and your grandma's tv ( or any other CRT tv you can get for cheap, you don't have to get it from your grandma specifically. They provide the best neo geo experience in my opinion ) and you can make something that works for under 450$. but if you want an easy to setup and good looking option, this is probably the best you'll find at this price point. Also I should metion the home console, but it's way more expensive (450 will get you the console and one or two games, depending on how cheeap they are), so not the best option if you're on a budget.

I loved my arcade games when I was a kid back in the 90s, but I was almost always disappointed when games like Pit Fighter, Golden Axe, Mortal Kombat, etc, came out on consoles. They were never as good as the arcade versions; there just always seemed to be something missing. Maybe it was just that it wasn't the same feeling as playing in the arcade, with the sounds from the machine's speakers, and all the other games in the background beeping away, and the smell of sweat, overheating circuit boards, and cigarette smoke, etc. Or maybe consoles at the time were just crap.

Pretty cool for whoever wants a NeoGeo Arcade without any effort. I made one myself, there is a spanish place called Talentec that sells you DIY packages to build your stand and toptable for around 300/400 bucks, they ship worldwide. In total it was more or less 600 bucks, ordered all electronics and inputs from there as well, the only thing I got myself was the actual device running the emulation, which was a Rasp Pi 4 which is running RetroPi and an 24' LCD I found for free. My arcade for sure doesn't look as nice and polished as this one in terms of exterior aesthetics, but it was a lot of fun building it and I give it a lot more value having assembled it myself than buying it ready, plus its customizable, I'm running several emulators on it, over 20 thousand games which we all know I will not play 99.9% of them, all I cared for was NeoGeo anyways, huge fanboy of SNK.

@@andreilazar9575 Fair enough. Gotta clarify when we're talking about retro gaming, especially Neo Geo.

Never ask permission to take something apart. Beg forgiveness after you have already done it.

[@Persephone2000]

yes! Anthony talking calmly about random tech. just what I wanted!

[@nasman7492]

I have seen a lot of reviews on this one and yours finally sold me on it

[@mm8tech370]

Every smash player when they see the packaging: "Oh no please don't" followed by a jab jab power dunk

[@TylerScottMillawa]

Im a simple man. I see Anthony in the thumbnail, I click.

[@TylerScottMillawa]

@Like A God Ohh

[@TylerScottMillawa]

@Like A God verbatim?

[@xorxeloco8708]

Anthony ftw - I really like the way he explains stuff. always the geekiest topics, but he's so relatable that I always get curious. I'd really love to see a show in which he discusses / reviews games!

[@suprastevio2264]

We love you Anthony! You're wonderful and the exact person I would hope to unbox a product like this

[@jessicagray8852]

"When it started to show up in hotels in japan..."

[@DarthBlazer.]

I read this at the moment he said it. Kinda weird.

[@danielmyers6726]

I see anthony, I click.

@0:45 - to clarify for non collectors, the MVS (arcade) hardware is pretty common and relatively cheap to collect. The AES home console hardware is crazy expensive. For example, a real MVS arcade can be found for the same price point as this device.

[@dstr3ss]

Man.. Anthony can make interesting even an unboxing of a frypan. He is so meticulous in the translation to the viewer that you can't get bored, we need more Anthony. (Btw:But the whole crew is epic, don't get me wrong.)

Wish Anthony was in more videos. Hes no doubt my favorite employee in all of LTT. LOVE YOU ANTHONY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@soggykid5580]

I got an arcade 1up on sale for $50 last spring. I added new side art, a raspberry pi, and new controller deck. Now I have my own neo geo arcade machine and it is awesome!

More retro stuff! MOAR!

Those button sounds are so satisfying

[@Akkbar21]

Dude has a very unfortunate type of male pattern baldness. Glad he’s doing his thing, but he needs to embrace a different hair style. It really doesn’t look good as is.

[@ViCreeo]

Anthony: "You'd have to build it yourself" and "There is better ways to do that" - I can see a build your own arcade machine with Anthony series coming along!

[@ducktail4068]

Look this is WORTH IT 100 percent. Compare it to arcade 1-up's machines which contain like 2-4 games and a stick with 2 buttons. This has 2 sticks 12 buttons and 50 games. Worth every penny and Im sure now you can probably add your own games.

[@00Noontide]

Such a smoothly spoken nerd. Exactly the content I subscribed for.

[@martito1014]

I kept forgetting that this wasn't an LTT video but a short circuit video because this wasn't filmed on the normal SC set I guess that's because they usually don't unbox things this big in the SC set 😅

[@eddiejrbation5095]

I have a Neo Geo and Win Kawaks on my drive. I love to play old arcade games especially Neo Geo games. KOF 2000 was king back in the day.

[@EvilOtto580]

I remember making my own Scanline PNG for mame. It was so cool when you finally got the effect right.

[@ericwelp47]

The Intel Inside the Computer is a really neat tech history/nostalgic piece- you should check it out!

[@Aazerka]

Anthony's presentation is top notch !
