The Neo Geo AES+ just got a lot clearer. In this video I break down brand new info on SNK and Plaion's new Neo Geo console coming in November 2026; including MVS compatibility, the custom Furrtek BIOS, the overclock feature, and the video output with answers straight from the chip designer behind the console's custom chips.
This is everything Neo Geo fans, retro game collectors, and anyone deciding whether to pre-order the Neo Geo AES Plus need to know: what's confirmed, what's still unknown, and how this full-size hardware recreation compares to emulation, FPGA boxes like MiSTer, and the original 1990 Neo Geo AES.
Whether you grew up dreaming about the "Rolls-Royce of consoles," you're deep into MVS and AES collecting, or you're just discovering Metal Slug, King of Fighters, and Pulstar for the first time; this one's for you.
What's covered in this Neo Geo AES+ update:
Who actually built it; the chip design, the custom BIOS, and the sound work
The "no compromise" hardware philosophy: real circuits, original connectors, zero-latency arcade sticks
The Furrtek BIOS - AES/MVS switching, region select, soft dips, memory card & high-score saving
The "gearbox" overclock - 16 MHz / 24 MHz and what it fixes
Video output - why it's a Mega Drive 2 / Genesis 2 / mini-DIN 8 connector and the mono-vs-stereo story
MVS compatibility and how today's MVS-to-AES converters fit in
Pricing, and future game support
The tease about another machine in the works
The open questions still left unanswered: cartridge internals, HDMI options,
