If you were planning on spending your 2024 playing high-end Neo Geo classics on a shiny new dedicated console, you might want to put those controllers back in the box for a bit.
Plaion just dropped some news that’s a tough pill to swallow for retro enthusiasts: the Neo Geo AES+ has been delayed by an entire year. We’re now looking at a release date of September 16, 2027.
While the company is citing “global supply constraints,” many in the community are feeling a bit skeptical. The original timeline was ambitious to say the least—expecting to ship a brand-new ASIC-based unit with zero public reviews or working demos under the belt was always a gamble.
That said, there is still a reason to stay optimistic:
- The Pedigree: It’s designed by heavyweights Jotego and Furrtek.
- The Tech: It’s based on the MiSTer core, aiming for that “holy grail” of accuracy and affordability.
If you’ve already dropped cash on a pre-order, you can keep it or request a refund through Amazon or the manufacturer. For now, we’ll be watching closely to see if a working unit finally surfaces.
