Adjusted for inflation, it was the most expensive home video game console ever released, costing US$649.99 (equivalent to $1,397 in 2022). This was later reversed due to high demand and it was released at retail as a luxury console. It was originally released solely as a rental console for video game stores in Japan called the Neo Geo Rental System, with its high manufacturing costs causing SNK not to release it for retail sale.
Ī home console version was also made, called Advanced Entertainment System (AES). The MVS offers owners the ability to put up to six different cartridges into a single cabinet, a unique feature that was a key economic consideration for operators with limited floorspace, as well as saving money long term. With its games stored on self-contained cartridges, a game cabinet can easily be changed to a different game title by swapping the game's cartridge and cabinet artwork. The Neo Geo originally launched as the Multi Video System (MVS) coin-operated arcade machine. It was the first system in SNK's Neo Geo family. GEO and also written as NEOGEO, is a ROM cartridge-based arcade system board and fourth generation home video game console released on April 26, 1990, by Japanese game company SNK Corporation.The Neo Geo ( Japanese: ネオジオ, Hepburn: Neojio), stylized as NEO 320×224 resolution, 4096 on-screen colors out of a palette of 65536
