NeoGeo blasts on to Evercade in 2025

Evercade has played a crafty hand with its announcements over the year, and leaves 2024 with a neat teaser for the coming year. 

The retro-brand's latest collaboration aims to bring some of the "most revered" arcade names to Evercade, with SNK Corporation,​ creators of the NeoGeo arcade and home system. There's still plenty of excitement around these titles, as when WindJammers dropped on PS4/Vita in 2017. 

And some NeoGeo games aren't that old, with the last release only 20 years ago with 2004's Samurai Shodown V Special ushering the platform off into the sunset. 

At this point, all we have is the teaser image above, but its not hard to imagine the likes of the Metal Slug series, King of Fighters, Fatal Fury (still rolling along with City of the Wolves due out in 2025) and oddities like Cyber-Lip plus a host of sports games making their way to Evercade hardware. 

I remember the unaffordability of the original hardware, and the huge size of the physical NeoGeo carts and their rampant capacity, so I hope the Giga carts are put to good use, and we're not fed one or two NeoGeo titles per cart. If you can't wait a NEOGEO Mini International Edition arcade unit is available with 40 titles built in for £80.
