due to its high price for both the hardware and software, but it has since gained a cult following and is now considered a collectable. The AES had a very niche market in Japan, though sales were very low in the U.S. Several successful video game series were released for the platform, such as Fatal Fury, Art of Fighting, Samurai Shodown, World Heroes, The King of Fighters and Metal Slug. The Neo Geo MVS was a success during the 1990s due to the cabinet's low cost, multiple cartridge slots, and compact size. It was a very powerful system when released, more powerful than any video game console at the time, and many arcade systems such as rival Capcom's CPS, which did not surpass it until the CP System II in 1993.
The Neo Geo was marketed as the first 24-bit system its CPU is actually a 16/ 32-bit 68000 with an 8-bit Z80 coprocessor, while its GPU chipset has a 24-bit graphics data bus. The AES had identical hardware to the MVS, allowing home users to play the games exactly as they were in the arcades. 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.
