@matthewhenzel To be fair, the person running the PLAION España social media account probably doesn't know more than we do, they're just farming engagement. I wouldn't read anything into it beyond that. We could use some more details though and I expect we'll get them in the lead up to release.

me: Will the AES+ sticks be 1:1 with original NeoGeo sticks?" Plaion: "We hope so". Their answer doesn't exactly instill a lot of confidence! #Plaion #NeoGeo #AESPlus

@vidaextraretro Being officially licensed has its perks. Imagine the Neo Geo indie you poured your soul into being able to use the official Neo Geo intro with a version of the classic jingle. Chills. youtube.com/watch?v=RhrKkg…

@vidaextraretro Another thing to keep in mind is the visibility you'd get from being an official release from Plaion alongside the best classic games on the system would more than offset whatever you'd lose on the profit margin on the 200 or less cart print run you'd have otherwise.

Creer que los nuevos desarrollos de #neogeo pueden costar los ya famosos “80€” es surrealista. Tras estas nuevas producciones hay mucho trabajo, dedicación, plástico, componentes electrónicos, ilustradores, cadena de distribución… No. Los nuevos desarrollos no costarán 80€.

@StudioPixelJP @nicalis Japanese developers such as @yuzokoshiro (composer of the Bare Knuckle series & director of Earthion) and @NAITOTokihiro (creator of the Hydlide series and currently works for @M2_game) have expressed interest in developing for the platform.

@kqwru For Kero Blaster, this account will be handling inquiries. For Cave Story, please contact @nicalis. Is there a website or any detailed information available about this project/platform?

Dear @oxizn, would you ever consider making a game for the #NEOGEO or at least porting #CaveStory & #KeroBlaster to the system? @PLAION_JPN & @SNKPofficial_jp are launching the NEOGEO AES+ and it seems many Japanese developers are excited to bring their projects to the platform.

@StudioPixelJP @nicalis @SNKPofficial_jp and @PLAION_JPN are putting out a new version of the NEOGEO called the AES+. The plan is to re-release classic games and eventually new ones for the platform. Here's a Famitsu article about the platform with more information: famitsu.com/article/202604…

@Gamer77Marko @knifesuisse @Neo_Geo_Forever @PLAION_ES @SNKPofficial JoshProd owns the IP rights to BREAKERS, BREAKERS REVENGE and all of Visco Corporation's NEO GEO games. They wouldn't be pitching this to Plaion and SNK if that were an issue.

@knifesuisse @Neo_Geo_Forever @PLAION_ES @SNKPofficial Unlikely, as Pixalheart has licensed it, and its not at $89 pixelheart.eu/en/produit/bre…

Hey @PLAION_ES @SNKPofficial Re-releasing Neo Geo? We need to talk about BREAKERS 🔴 A legendary fighter selling for $4,000+ original 🔴 Never officially released in the USA 🔴 We hold the rights Same game at $89 for everyone. Let's make history together. #NeoGeo #snk

@knifesuisse @PLAION_ES @SNKPofficial #AndroDunos #BangBangBusters #BangBangBusters2 #BangBead #BattleFlipShot #Breakers #BreakersRevenge #CaptainTomaday #DaemonClaw #Ganryu #GladMort #GoalGoalGoal #NeoDriftOutNewTechnology #NeoMrDo #PunkyCircus #PuzzleDePon #PuzzleDePonR #ShadowGangsZero

@knifesuisse @PLAION_ES @SNKPofficial If you start releasing your games with Plaion, I will buy every one. Fingers crossed.

@PLAION_Americas Excited for Garou: MotW, KoF 02 & Metal Slug. For future waves, I wanna see Art Of Fighting 1-3, Baseball Stars 1+2, Crossed Swords 1+2, Fatal Fury (all), King Of Fighters (all), The Last Blade 1+2, Puzzle Bobble 1+2, Samurai Shodown (all), Street Slam, Waku Waku 7 & Windjammers.

Which of the NEOGEO AES+ games are you most excited about?! #retrogaming

@PLAION_Americas Will the AES+ have a UniBIOS equivalent with auto-fire, cheats and switching between AES mode & MVS mode for games?

We heard you! Your enthusiasm for the NEOGEO AES+ has produced lots of questions, so we put together a response to some of the more common inquiries. Enjoy! Remember, most of the NEOGEO AES+ products can be pre-ordered now on Amazon. #retrogaming

@PLAION_ES @NEOGEO_EN @SNKPofficial There's already a Windjammers 2 on other platforms, but an exclusive Windjammers Special, with additional characters, courts and minigames would sell like hotcakes.

🔎 ¡Queremos DE saber! 🕹️ Por curiosidad, si diseñaran un nuevo juego exclusivo para la inminente Neo-Geo AES+, ¿cuál os gustaría ver? A nosotros Waku Waku... ¿8? @NEOGEO_EN #neogeo @SNKPofficial

@PLAION_ES @NEOGEO_EN @SNKPofficial Garou: Mark of the Wolves 2 would break the internet! It was in development for the AES back in the day. Imagine if someone were to resurrect the work that was done and complete it. Hmm...

@CdNeogeo @PLAION Ask if they have any plans to release a wireless version of the Neo Geo CD Controller Pro (a.k.a. The Kidney).

Quelles sont vos questions / interrogations sur la #NEOGEO AES+ qui sont sans réponse ? Je prépare une interview avec @PLAION (c'est pas pour tout de suite hein...) Mais c’est le moment de tout balancer. À vous de jouer !

@Wingefors Super Nintendo had the Super Game Boy attachment that allowed you to play Game Boy games on TV, what if the AES had a similar adapter cartridge that allowed you to play Neo Geo Pocket & Neo Geo Pocket Color games on TV? Plaion could then start to re-release that library of games.

Any other Neo Geo fan that has pre-ordered AES+? What other games should Plaion publish on AES? linkedin.com/posts/lars-win…

@Wingefors It may be a longshot, but getting a Neo Geo AES port of the indie poker game Balatro would be exciting. It's simple graphically, but can get quite complex strategically and it's endlessly replayable. It would be quite a surprise to bring such a fan favorite to the retro hardware.

@Wingefors Get indie devs to make new installments of SNK IP. Port 90s arcade games that never made it to AES. Go into the vaults of SNK & others to resurrect shelved projects that were close to completion. Officially publish homebrew games from Bitmap Bureau, NG:DEV, NeoByteForce & others.

@Wingefors The Scotland course being added to Big Tournament Golf was unexpected. I'd love to see more additions like that to future re-releases. I would love to see more MVS-only, Neo Geo CD-only and Japanese language-only (with translations) games get their AES debut.
