@retro junkie ...  ???  what in the world?!  Awesome post.. I am shocked... and jaw has completely fallen off my face.

It looks like everything is a 1:1 size as well?  At first, I was thinking this was a mini console with mini carts.  It has to be, right?!  It doesn't appear to be the case. 

The ultimate version is $1000 with 10 games, memory card, a wired aes stick, wireless aes stick and wireless game pad... which appear to be complete in box.   What in the hell is happening?  This must be the end of the world or something.  If I'm correct, SNK is still owned by a Saudi company now.  It's licensed... so this is pretty amazing. 

I really don't know what to think about this.  I want the ultimate version.  :happydance:   which version are you getting, Retro?  I will be honest, I know it's no longer April fools... but I looked everywhere on this site to see if it was an old April fools joke.

@targetrasp ...  ???  you see this?!

If the Ultimate bundle came in white I'd have a hard time not buying it.

90 per game is a tough sell for me for game that I've got on other consoles for much cheaper. The PS2 SNK Arcade Classics vol 1, steam has or had a bunch, amazon gave a bunch away, those cool little mini arcade machines came preloaded with a bunch of games.

Still kinda want one, just to have a bunch of neo snap cases taking up space again

I am first, in a state of shock. This messes up everything that I had planned for what I was going to do this year as far as gaming. My first thought is that I would love to have that big bundle, but $1000....hmmmm. I have been going through my games looking for things to sell. I would have to dig deeper to swing this. My first chance to have something like this comes to mind. I have mixed feelings and a mixed reaction to all of this. I went on AliExpress and the adapter for the MVS games would cost about half as much as the console by itself. And a multi cart to go with that would cost more than the console. So..........it seems the best deal out of this is that big bundle. Not sure if I can reach that goal.

A second thought. My wallet is an evercade size money pit. And I am comfortable with that. I have Neo Geo games on that console. If I was still getting up everyday and finding myself at a job, then the bundle would be a no brainer. I probably could swing the console only and there are some good games on eBay that are under the $90 threshold. Games that I really like, example Fatal Fury Special.

I am really very undecided.

@targetrasp --> yeah... I am a sucker for the white console as well.  Maybe because it's different?!  OR you could just get both in an ultimate bundle LOL  :))

@retro junkie --> Even with a job these days... buying something else generally gives me pause.  It's hard to talk about selling collection stuff on 1 hand ... and then talking about buying more stuff from a collection that I would be selling.  With some of the uncertainty and rising prices, those are also in the back of mind.

You make great points on the price of games (though it appears these new games come all with new clamshell style cases!) and additional great points.  The clamshells make this deal for me in a way.  Even though... I have since reconsidered my space and buying of these packages.  The "shut up and take my money" is there... however, logic is starting to win  :great:

I am still in shock this is a thing... ???

@BLUEVOODU
I have went through the gollum arguing with myself over this. Thirty years ago I would be all over this, but in my seventies..........hmmmm......well.....I think I will pass.

I can hear that voice in my head now, "Maybe it could be our new precious?"

man... your gif is spot on @retro junkie  And from your statement, it sounds like this is not totally decided yet LOL  :))

For me.... I'm still trying to figure out if I Can do it, if I should do it... or just let it pass.  I need to also find my Neo Geo X stuff (and probably just sell it).  Ugh... this is hard to pass up... so awesome  ???  So much awesome  ???  There has to be something wrong with it, right?!  ???
