I've been enjoying my NGX ever since I got it last year. I know that it has its flaws, but no game system is perfect after all. Even the big boys (Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft) have their faults.
I'd like to list a few things that I love about the NGX. Feel free to add some of your thoughts as well. Here's my list:
The Arcade Stick
I really enjoyed playing in the arcades back in the day and using the arcade stick to play with my NGX brings back a lot of fond memories.
20 built-in games
You get the system, you get 20 games to play right away without any extra purchases. You can't say that with any of the modern game systems.
The clicky thumb-stick
There's just something about the clickiness of the thumbstick on the handheld. There's no other handheld quite like it, except for the Neo Geo Pocket.
The Docking Station
It looks like an AES but in a smaller form. It looks really authentic and looks nice on my game shelf. I think it was a cool idea to have the handheld dock inside the station.
2 ways to play the NGX
You can play it as a handheld or play it on your TV. This is something I'd like to see other game companies try out.
The Mega Pack
You get 15 more games that include awesome games such as Blazing Star, The Last Blade, and Kizuna Encounter. I don't think you'll be able to get those in any official Neo Geo compilations or downloads. Also, the Mega Pack's packaging (AES cart case) is a very nice touch.
Nostalgia
From the way the hardware looks, the arcade stick, and the games- they all bring back a lot of fond gaming memories, and that to me is priceless.
