SNK is working on a new games console

Like, a real console. Maybe?

In a recent tweet, SNK announced that it was working on a new NEOGEO console.

A Next-Gen NEOGEO hardware is coming after NEOGEO Mini.
With a modern design and a wonderful play feeling and you can even link it to NEOGEO Mini, the new hardware will provide you a NEOGEO journey that you have never expeirenced.

Stay tuned for more information!#SNK #NEOGEO

So let’s recap what this tweet says:

• Modern design
• Linkable to NEOGEO Mini
• “Wonderful play feeling”
• Next-Gen NEOGEO

Now, what this all means is anyone’s guess. The company revealed during their last investors’ meeting that it was working on successors to the NEOGEO Mini, due to its popularity. A “Next-Gen NEOGEO” that connects to the original may somehow upscale or unlock new modes in the games, or bring new control methods given the company’s arcade heritage. Either way, labeling it “Next-Gen” makes us think that it’s meant to go up against the next PlayStation and Xbox One, which would be unlikley given the investment needed.

With Gamescom, PAX and Tokyo Game Show all coming up within the next couple of months, there are plenty of opportunities for more info.
