Now folks,
it been over a week or so, since the carry on with the fall out with both parties.
All the stated retailers seem to be still selling the x on a global scale.
Question is,
Is the X dead or is Tommo gonna give us the magic and keep the dream alive.

The Neo Geo X is alive as NGX products are still on sale at regular prices, but I guess you can say it's on life support until SNK and Tommo work things out.

Or it was all a big stunt as has been suggested previously - stranger things have happened but I personally think its a genuine ding dong.

I guess if it was some sort of publicity stunt, it probably did help a little with sales. It does make SNK look bad though.

Yeah that's why I'm not sure it was one.

SNK ,in all it's various forms, has a history of really bad business related decisions. It's such a shame because having recently been reintroduced to the company and it's software, you realize how often they touched upon true genius and with a little more savvy could have blown their competition right out of the water. Having said that, I must admit how intrigued I am by all the recent fuss, and I kinda feel like I have truly become part of the cult of SNK and the Neo Geo.

I expect the NGX will remain in stores until the day the license expires, or Tommo slips up and fails to honor the license agreement to the specific letter of the contract.
I don't expect any new releases.

That would suck if they don't release any new NGX stuff, though I was actually quite surprised when they released an update and games back in June. I didn't even know about it until about a month after. Hopefully there will be more surprises to come in the future.

Well folks i have tried to keep positive over the whole ordeal, but im thinking now, maybe no more games will come as Tommo are been very blunt on the subject.
The way round it is just purchase a 370 model then you can play all the classics.
Hopefully events may turn around and i am proved wrong.

If they don't ever release more games, I'm hoping that a SD card hack for v500 will happen soon.

Do any of you guys think that either SNK has found another company to produce the NGX or that maybe they may want to produce their own official handheld neogeo?personally I hope Tommo make a statement stating more game releases upto 2016 as they must have Afew none used roms(could even be a complete set) bought under the agreement.this hopefully could be followed by a new handheld after the agreement ends,either produced by SNKP or under licence by another company.all this will probably never happen but I can dream I suppose.

I doubt SNK would produce their own handheld. They just have never been successful with their hardware no matter how good the AES and NGPC were. Now they're having issues with the NGX as well. I'm still hoping Tommo will be able to release at least one more Mega Pack with a new update.

3 mega packs would be nice. Snk should just be grateful and let tommo release all the games and finish it off.
