I'd much rather get a real Neo-Geo, but I'm glad that at least some of the games aren't the ones that are always being rereleased: SNK usually loves to rerelease the games in each series in chronological order, and while there are some first entries, like Metal Slug 1, more recent games are there to balance things out (i.e. Real Bout Fatal Fury). At least with the fighting games, the first few titles in each SNK series are usually range from being mediocre to decent-at-best (mostly due to frustrating A.I., dated gameplay, and/or strict controls), so starting in order could possibly keep potential fans from becoming interested in trying out the sequels.
Apparently, they're starting to release the more recent games like Garou: Mark of the Wolves and The Last Blade, so at least SNK still seems to be supporting this handheld. For now, though, I'm sticking with my PS2/DC/Xbox ports and collections. But, to be honest, I might get one of those USB Neo-Geo X arcade sticks to make for a more authentic experience with MAME.
