They don't have a rechargeable battery built in it that sucks damn u gotta put a Battery pack with C port LMAO
Do they both have English translations ?
@@chiaxiong8739 If they had a battery built in it would have started dying after a few years anyway and may even have caused problems powering it if the current always past threw the battery. External solutions are better.
I think people buying both just buy it for collecting purposes. No reason to buy both just for the difference in some games since when it comes to games you can easily emulate roms on your PC just as good or better.
Is not that you can't play the games you can't have on the mini.
The whole thing is a novelty buy.
I don't care about micro switches and all that dinosaur nonsense.
I am having a blast with the analog controllers that SNK has created by the Neo Geo Mini. The only ones who are complaining for stupid micro switches are dinosaurs trapped in the past.😂😅🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦
I love mine, no regrets whatsoever.
Japan - All The KOF Games
West - All Of The Metal Slug Games
How many Metal slug games does the West version have?
I have the Japanese version and really like it bought for the metal slugs (has 3 games on it).
@Danny Duran, it has all 6 Neo Geo Metal Slug titles for the 'international' version on it. Metal Slug 1,2,3,X,4,and5.
I’m buying the international version. I’m a sucker for Metal Slug games
I'm happy they did it that way, it's freaken hard to play the fighting games on it. But metal slug works okay on it
@@Mr_pai_pai Is not hard with the controller and even easier with the arcade stick but that has many of the fighting games on it's own anyway.
Excelente comparación, justo estaba buscando un video así y definitivamente comprare la versión internacional, gracias 🙂 gracias
I love these things. NEOGEO was magical to me. Like a unicorn of gaming. I’m in the UK and got the Japanese version with all the accessories (minus the NEOGEO backpack). I’ll also be picking up an international version with the same. I’m hoping someone hacks and mods these as there are a lot of possibilities. Backlit marquee? Internal battery? Also I wonder if someone will make new micro switch controllers for these? Also if someone could mod the video output would be great!
Great channel you have a new subscriber!
So i ordered one off amazon and it was the American version, the box has an america flag across the lower corner of the box. The console is the japanese model but with the international games. Im very happy about that because i think the jdm one is was slicker looking.
I got this same one last week! Came with controllers and HDMI cable. Pretty slick
@@DoomguyAVfor how much?🤑?
I have the JP version with the two white controllers, like most I do miss the micro switches but I don’t care enough to hate on the system.
Hopefully a hack comes soon because I’m enjoying this on the tv with the pads (Yea the filters aren’t great)
Maybe the hackers can add some scanlines for us?
Personally, I think the International version has a better variety of games but if you like fighters then the Japanese version is the must have.
I'm a sucker for these and getting both versions. =)
I'm think of buying both as well
Yep I'm thinking about getting both on Amazon
I was gonna return mine until I saw that the joy stick lit up
I just got the international version and the controller ($125.00 plus) and I love it. I just wish it had the old Neo-Geo CD controller the microswiches on the D-pad made it the best controller I have ever used it was very precise, the new controllers are are okay.
Why doesn’t anyone ever go into the censorship details between these two systems? That’s a super important detail for me.. I had to wait until the 8:58 mark in this video and watch the samurai shodown footage on both and hear him say “I can deal with the green blood” to finally confirm my question..
Nice side by side comparison MLP. I passed on these due to cost, because I feel like for $109.99 a controller should've been included. I could get past the HDMI cable, but I know it's too small for me not to play it on the television. I still like it overall, but just not enough to buy. Thanks
Would have been nice to at least had made it rechargeable but you can't play it unless it's plugged in.. snk really screwed up here..
No Neo Turf Masters? They choose the inferior golf game smh... please let us know if and when a hack comes out. I check a few days ago, no one seems to be working on one 😪
GunPla Fixation i saw that but i put Neo Turf on my Sega mini. There should be a hack soon
The International one looks like a Neo Geo Mini 2, over the Asian one. Nice lines on the control panel instead of flat and the light ring around the stick is way cooler than the standard light in the corner of the unit.
I wish I have the Japanese version of the Neo Geo Mini because it has The King of fighters games, and plus the buttons are colorful.
It’s odd they didn’t nail the controller seeing how they sold them separately. No reason to go cheap.
So glad I didn't wait and picked up an AES. Much more expensive in the short term, but a much better experience in the long run.
I cancelled my preorder, and bought a Neo Geo X arcade stick to play emulators-- which prompted me to decide to buy a CMVS.
Omg.....camera focus testing should be the title of this vid.
Madlittlepixel, would you PLEASE do a tutorial video on how to add more Neo Geo ROMs to the International version of the Neo Geo Mini? I think there is a video on how to do this on TH-cam but it is in a foreign language and I was hoping you'd make a video most anyone can understand, like you always do?! Thanks!
Cool comparison video. Thanks for making it.
Metal Jesus threw this great console under the bus because the controller didn't have micro switches😂😂😂
I seriously get it though, but for me it didn't bother me as much as I thought it was going to. Sure I have original Neo Geo cd pads and an AES and have played it quite a bit. But the analogue on this controller feels good to me and I dont feel like I can't perform moves in games like Samurai Shodown. Its fine, though sure it would have been nice if it had the micro switches.
He's an idiot.
Blood or no blood I love neogeo games
Awesome video. Very informative. I have both versions too and I just got my US version today. I immediately noticed the difference in screen quality and found this video to verify it. I like the US version more cos of the omission of blood.
Does the the change in brightness/saturation also happen when viewed on a TV?
I know this is an old video but there was a time where you could do blood codes, switching from japan to us on samurai showdown 2 will put red blood on the screen. Can't remember if you can do the same on metal slug.
I have the Asian version. There is an english option but there are japanese only language in a game or two despite having that option. Uncensored blood is a plus too.
No blood sucks but i just picked this thing up from amazon for $60 !:)
This console is so hated that it will become rare in the future. I just bought mine for 70€ new from amazon. REALLY ZERO REGRETS. ITS A BEAUTY.
Can you please talk about why this is £130 ($155). It's only $100 in the usa
USD=Reserve currency of the world since the end of WWII, and the US is the 'LARGEST' market in terms of units sales for video games+systems globally, meaning game companies compete more against each other in the crowded+high demand market place, easily making up such a perceived price shortfall in the process (I.E. Sell more units to justify a lower price point). Also, in Europe VAT taxes on imported goods like this automatically add to the costs, whereas the US just seemingly never tariffs any 'incoming' goods from other countries, all at the cost of their own productivity+growth in their own marketplace....
....So, to summarize, the TLDR version, Corporate F*ckery and differing governmental tax laws! lol. Hope this clears the issue up for you!
@@sinistergrey3 Great answer 👍👍
Another excellent video glad I got the USA version
There is no US version
The lack of a battery is a real bummer. But you can easily make your device mobile by using a power bank.
Got my international ver with mini HDMI a white and black controller for £89.99 I’m happy with it just wish the stick clicked
Thanks to slickdeals I got alerted to the Neo geo mini international for 29.99 us last Friday had to get its.
One's too Dark, One's too Light, if we had a Middle then,that One is Just Right.
I just played this and gotta say it's awesome def. Getting one
No blood after 25 years of samurai shodown 2, that's the only deal breaket i need; i already have them on ps2(AOF, FATAL FURY, METAL SLUG, KOF, etc)and that was a let down
I think there is a way to unlock the blood and fatal finishers by changing the language.
another thing is for the price it should have a battery on board inside the case there is plenty of room , still you can mod it.
So i pre ordered mines from gamestop and on Monday they told me the neo geo mini shipping was delayed i called today and they say they got an email stating that's in back order it should be getting to them by the 29th. Has anyone else had difficulty in getting their's?
great vídeo :)
Maybe the asian version has an IPS screen (more color saturation and better contrast) and the american is built with an NT screen (more whiteness, less deep dark tones and colors). Great video as always.
Interesting thought...but it doesn't explain why the perceived 'contrast' and 'darker' visuals VS the 'More Whiteness' and 'Less Dark Tones' then translate over to the TV from the different versions as well...it's almost like they have 2 different ROM sets+output methods between the two versions as well, which of course would make ZERO sense!!!...but this is JAPAN we're talking about....and it is a product coming from China, so really anything is 'plausible' at this point, lol.
@@sinistergrey3Yeah! I agree. On the other side about the colors and stuff, if the signal is different even playing in TV that means that the screen type has little to do with it. I love these retro consoles anyway :)
I have international and the hdmi cord, its got some smoothing on big screen.
You're my #1 MLP! Great vid
Only just hit Australian shores yay mini collection complete till the Sega mini releases ...
They look nice
International for me. I bought 5 of them. :-D
5?? LOL
is linier filtering is not that bad, its just ron very picky
A cell phone battery was too much to ask for.
New subscriber love the content,the auto focus on your camera is kinda annoying at times
I kind of wish they added some rubber to the top of the controllers analog stick like the PS4 or Xbox One controllers (even though the original didn't have it). I found myself just pushing on the edges of the stick due to lack of grip while playing more intense games. Overall, I think it's cool but, I share all your concerns like the blood, TV resolution, and no battery. It just could have been better.
To me no micro switches coupled with the low quality picture over HDMI is a deal breaker. Better luck next time SNK. It was an ambitious idea though.
I'm gonna buy it....limited Samurai Showdown Ukyo Tachibana neo geo mini edition with all the 6 samurai showdown games
Is it possible to swap the screens between the two versions? Or maybe switch the Japanese screen with some third party screen?
I actually have the international and the Samurai Showdown versions of these. So, I get blood in the Samurai Showdown version. You get two controllers and hdmi cable with the Samurai Showdown verison.
Currently have the Samurai Shodown version and I'm thinking of picking up either the Game Monkey "USA" version or the International version for the games list. Are the roms on the International version all in English? Also wondering if you think the 17 games that you get from the International version vs Samurai Shodown are worth it.
@@humancannonball3827 I did find a bug with both versions. The initials screen on Magician Lord is really slow.
@@humancannonball3827 The games on the International version are in English.
@@krathoon2338 Thanks! I went ahead and ordered the international because they’re pretty cheap these days and I already have the controllers, cable, etc. Looks like more action games on International than the other releases.
I’m loving my mini also. The game plays so smooth unlike the roms u downloaded off a website, I want more games on it,but afraid the quality of games would be bad. The games one raspberry and pandora box are just awful.
I was going to get one but the controllers and bad TV output made me get a neo geo colour pocket instead.
These screens make me think of PSVita oled vs lcd for some reason, left one looks amazing
i seriously wanna concoct a diy handheld with one of thes by gutting them and fitting it in a custom case or if that isnt viable then put it in the neo geo x docking station for a sort of neo geo aes mini style system.
Did they update it since 2008? Mine is not blurry on the TV, it's got an enhanced mode that looks nice. If that mode is switched off, then yes it looks blurry
I hate one thing about them, WHERE IS NEO TURF MASTERS ?
Hack the SNES classic mini and emulate it the heck out of it.
Looks like it would be a pain trying to play these games with the sticks on the device
Looks like bilinear filtering creating the blurry image. Hopefully they bring some kind of update with it switched off.
I got a nice deal on the international version 65.99.
Got 2 for $40 each shipped on eBay yesterday.
Hows the emulation compared to the Neo Geo X?
Too bad about the poor video out quality. HDMI output was a main selling point for me so this is a hard pass. I'll only get one if it's heavily discounted.
Import NeoGeo PS2 Compilations are best for me becasue I can play them on my modded PS3
I erased my previous message due to the age of this video. The Neo Geo mini has been recently hacked and images available
how, last I checked it's doable but I stopped because of the joystick bug?

Are you sure your brightness is the same on both minis because I have both and I don't see a difference in the brightness. also the different screen protectors might do it as well since anti-glare can darken it.
I play my neo geo Mini everyday
Is there a possibility to change regions or switch to arcade-mode (service menu)..? Maybe a keyboard shortcut??
I ordered mine yestarday
Not so surprising since the International version is probably a later revision of the product. I wonder if later Japanese units look like that as well.
yeah that would be interesting to see. This Japanese unit was from launch... so maybe something changed in the later production runs from September.
can you connect 2 of them to play 2 player so everyone has their own screen
Censorship and the rotated button placement are a no-go for me.
I hugely critisized the button placement originally. I understand why it was done and it works for that reason... Easier to play KoF but that should have been an Asian change only and kept nornal for everywhere else. Ive grown used to it though... But it is odd going between this and a real Neo Geo.
To be honest, I really thought I was going to dislike the new button arrangement. On second thought, after playing for a while, I've realized that it worked fine for most games, so it's not that big of a deal for me, even when I'm also used to the original placement I grew up with.
You're better off just building a cabinet dude it's trash
Im waiting on my pre order to come in! Game Stop is saying the 24th now. 😢
Do you think they will come with a 50 year version(with 50 games)as an attempt to redeem this failure???
Your opinion
Can you hook the controllers up to a PC??
Does the glare-reducing screen protector have anything to do with it?? I had a glare reducer on an old crt back in the day and it made the screen darker..
Nope it was the same prior to putting the protectors on. (Just put them on last night, and you can see the output difference via playing through HDMI as well) I linked it in the description. But I think I was wrong its not a anti glare protector possibly. But i still prefer it over the glass.
Can i use controllers in PC? Someone has tried?
I bought the controllers for 13 dollars each
Where
no clicky sticks no buy
Dumb
Bro how can i order this in pakistan
Pc master race checking in
Spotted a small
I bought one because I know they are most lokly going to stop making them and will regret not buying it. I will have fun with it because it has most of the games I played as a child. It does stink they did not give you a power brick, controler and mini HDMI cable or what you are playing! But Ill deal with it! The Christmas version is way over priced!
And not only that, would you be happy with the Christmas version when colours does not resemble at all an old neo geo cabinet like the standard one. i cannot understand why it was even released.
It’s ok, I’ve never owned an actual neo-geo so this was a nice addition to my nes/snes classic collection. I just built a bartop arcade with a Pandora’s box 5 so most of if not all of these roms are on it and they look fine on the tv in comparison. Honestly would of been cool if they scrapped the screen version for just a mini console with everything included to keep the price under a 100 bucks though.😏
Anyone know how to hack it?
- Best Retro Gaming Channel -
Can you help me with finding a cable that I could use to extend the Neo Geo Mini controllers like 15 feet? I'm trying to find a way to play from my couch at a distance from the TV. Thanks!
My biggest complaint is that it looks nothing like the arcade cabinet.
It's also laggy as shit, audio is terrible, and the buttons aren't laid out straight across like the arcade.
why would any one buy this over a Raspberry pie ?!!
X7 Bc the pi is boring?
@@PlayboyLude44
lool wut ?!
Lol fanboy idiots
EBAY.
Please can I ask what usb external sources can you plug it into please.
Stuff like tv, PlayStation?
They should have made a mini neo geo like Nintendo have done with their mini consoles. I’m out.
If they do I will buy it too.
Ian Martin SNK was popular for its arcade games and perfect arcade ports so they made a mini arcade cabinet. Its unique and beautiful. It can still hook up to a tv like a nes mini. So there you go.
Absolutelly not. All the world had the opportunity to enjoy SNK games in quarters in the arcade machines, but no one i know could afford an AES system at home.
Who would have bought an AES system for the memories? HAHA dont make me laugh!!!!. Besides, who else but SNK could have genuinely made a mini arcade with screen and Joystick as controller. a mini AES system would have been as any other mini psx nes, snes, n64 (and so on.... arround). Come on you cannot be serious!!!.
No blood ?
🤮
The Neogeo X sucked and now the Neogeo Mini sucks. You're just best off buying the games on the Switch.
Or as some of us have done, kept our PS2's, and Wii's, and bought the physical copies of the various SNK collections.
Great video ! But I feel your milking to much on the same things it’s getting old ! It would be sick to maybe see a new series.
You don't have to watch if its not a video you are interested in. The international version just released, and there was some info here I have not seen shared else where. So yeah.. I release a new video almost every day.... and its been over a month since I did a video about the Neo Geo mini. So not sure where you've been saying its getting old lol. Final Verdict dude.
I watch all your videos MLP!
Madlittlepixel,
Great final thoughts! I just got one (international version) and the gamepads and love it! I originally tried to hook it up to my 1080p TV and I was also disappointed at the lack of clarity. However, I just built a mini Arcade cabinet that has 720p TV installed, and thought I'd try it on that since the mini is supposed to output natively at 720p. Low and behold, the image looks much sharper on my 720p set! Now I know most people probably have a 4K TV. I'm sure it looks even more a mess at that upscaled resolution, but 720p was the trick for me! Just thought I'd pass that along.
Have a great day!
Don
You know I ran into the same thing when I put this on my older tv that outputs at 720p as well. I though I was taking crazy pills and it was just me. I think they soften the 1080p Upscale to make it not look as pixalated on 4k tvs.
maybe.. it's time to use mCable. :(
You can turn off the blur filter tho
Look it up ^^
These are essentially toys. Not worth collecting IMHO.
