    My idea for NeoGeo2

    How about Playmore buy the DC hardware, stick a cartdidge port on it, if they fancy. Refine the architecture, Re-design the case, and bobs your uncle the NEOGEO2 is born.
    The DC is still a fiercely powerfull peice of Kit, look at Shenmue 2.
    Playmore are using Naomi arcade boards yes?
    Makes sense to me, the DC architecture has proven itself more than able in both 2D and 3D.
    More importantly it would make me very happy.
    Whadda u think

        I think they should just develop for Chihiro and do their home ports on the Xbox. But then, I would think that, wouldn't I. :P

        If they are developing for Atomiswave from now on, is there really much of an advantage to having cartridges over GD-ROMs for the home games? As it stands, using texture compression, the DC can hold in memory as much as a Neo-Geo cartridge stores. IMO, reduced loading time is not worth paying 6 times as much per game for.

        Later.

          That would be suicide for Playmore, developing XBox games for the Japanese market, would be an act of sheer stupidity.
          What did it sell, 600 cnsoles last week?

            Any of the 3 current consoles could easily emulate the Neo-Geo, so whats the point in getting gamers to pay ?50-odd for a new console just to play games which could easily be ported to any of the existing consoles.

            So long as the games are faithfull ports and the price reflects the age of the games i'd be happy.. i dont want a NeoGeo2,

            its a shame really because they now own a huge back-library of Neogeo classics, but 99% of games players cannot afford them.. im lucky to have my NeoGeo AES but i can't afford ?300 a game, i've only picked up a couple of ?40 games on it.

              Okay, now you've done it. I'm saying it: Sega needs to bring back the Dreamcast. In new beautiful fresh case colors. And new games. Sonic Team already did Puyo Puyo Fever recently, so why not go all the way?

              Allright, dream on mode about to power down in few.

                Yes, and King Of Fighters 2001 AES sold 6000 coppies in Japan. I think the numbers they would get selling Xbox games would easily ecclipse that kind of figure. For example, Tekki, which is the only Xbox game in that kind of price bracket, sold 27 000 coppies.

                Can you honestly imagine a cartridge based Dreamcast selling in numbers that approach even the Xbox's current installed userbase there? I don't see how you can call developing for the Xbox "suicide", yet advocate the manufacture of a cartridge based Dreamcast. On one hand, you're talking about manufacturing new hardware, and being stuck with all the limitations of the cartridge format (fixed production runs, high overheads). On the other hand, they could produce games for a system that's already in place, already manufactured, and has a corresponding arcade system with painless transition to the home system. (Easier than NAOMI->Dreamcast by accounts.)

                It would only be suicide if they worked under the assumption that they could sell 100k coppies, and in the end sold 20k. If they plan to sell 20k from the beginning, and shape their business plan accordingly it wouldn't be a problem. There's plenty of companies who survive fine doing those kind of numbers.

                Is that really any less sensible than creating a cartridge based Dreamcast? In terms of technology, I think they'd be better off on the Xbox too. The Dreamcast is a great system, but it's definitely a good bit behind the Xbox in terms of graphical ability. You can say "graphics don't mater", but I think it's sensible to want the games to be the best they can be. And that includes access to the best graphics capability.

                Later.

                      Of course its a fanboys dream!
                      Some people eh, there is still a lot of interest in NeoGeo in Asia, a new NeoGeo console would sell to the fans. I bet it would do a lot better than the XBox in Japan.

                        Shame the 'best graphics capability' is crippled by the Xbox's useless RGB picture.

                        In all seriousness when the MVS hardware has finally run its course SNK-Playmore will be a third party from then on as they don't have the resources to fund a new or reserrected hardware venture anymore.

                        And Yes I can easily imagine a cartridge based DC consumer system selling numbers that far exceed the Jpn Xbox 'userbase' (term used lightly)

                          Well, how about Playmore simply buying out the Dreamcast. No cart modification, simply asthetical. Change the colour, give it a broadband modem instead of a 33k one and presto.
                          You already have an installed user base larger than the AES does worldwide in one region, and a new bit of kit to be released as well.
                          Sammy, Capcom and SNK brawlers available on one system, easy to convert and whatnot.
                          A dream, but none the less, a nice one.

                            Its bloody criminal that the DC architecture is not still being used.
                            An SNK NeoGeo2 with SNK-Capcom, KOF2004, Gauru etc could sell what?
                            400,000?

                              To me it wouldn't be a Neo Geo unless it was the biggest and baddest hardware out there, and that includes knocking those cocky PCs back down.

                              Its a real shame that playmore don't have a hardware budget for this.
