The Neo Geo was SNK's attempt to create a versatile hardware system for operators, allowing them to swap out games at a reduced cost while also bringing an authentic arcade experience into homes. The system's development was influenced by Capcom, with Street Fighter creator Takashi Nishiyama moving to SNK. The Neo Geo came in two versions: the Multi Video System (MVS) for arcades and the Advanced Entertainment System (AES) for home use. Priced at $650 in 1990 (equivalent to $1,562 in 2024), the console was expensive but initially well-received by operators due to a strong lineup of games and the six-month lag between arcade and home releases. Despite an attempt to introduce a lower-priced CD version, it was too late to compete effectively. Ultimately, the Neo Geo could not keep up with the emerging 3D transition and the more affordable Sony PlayStation.
