Pre-orders are now open for a new beat em’ up game for the Neo Geo, called Vengeance Hunters. The price is $400 for the regular edition and $490 for the limited edition. They’re scheduled to ship to customers around the middle of December this year. If you’d prefer to play it on modern consoles, there’s versions available for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation and Xbox platforms, as well as a PC version on Steam. More info on what you’d get with the Neo Geo editions below the links:

I need to first mention the price, as people who aren’t familiar with Neo Geo games often get sticker shock: Neo Geo games are always far more expensive than cartridges for other consoles, because they require so much more hardware inside. Two PCB’s, multiple chips and versions for both home (AES) and arcade (MVS) hardware, as the PCB’s are not the same size. So it’s totally fair to say “this is too expensive for me”, but no one’s “price gouging”. And don’t forget, you can always buy it on Steam or the Switch. Hopefully after the cartridges sell, the team will consider selling the ROM for MiSTer users, or people with ROM Carts.
Here’s what you get with each version of the game:
Contents of the regular edition:
- USA version game cartridge in solid black shell
- Full color instructions manual

Contents of the Special Edition:
