The Neo Station
Yes, we are still a SEGA site but the NEO GEO CD system is another black box of 2D joy. The idea behind the NEO Station is to give the internet some high quality videos of NEO GEO CD games running at regular speed so fans can figure out if the extra money for an AES version or MVS version is worth it to them personally (that said some NEO GEO CD games are brutally priced).
Truth be told I’ve gone full circle in terms of the NEO GEO hardware and I have an AES, MVS, and CD system. I even have that emulated SNK system NEO GEO GOLD. The AES pretty much languishes on its own because the games are too damn expensive. The MVS spends the majority of its time in an actual arcade cabinet so I only play it rarely but when I do it is beautiful.
The NEO GEO CD? Well, it gets pulled out every time I want quick game of Baseball Stars 2, Bust-A-Move, or a NEO SHMUP. It is slow compared to the other two systems but for me it can often get the job done. Heck, it beats the pants off the NEO GEO GOLD system.

Shenmue III Funding Now Accepting Paypal
Shenmue III is funded and it generated $6,333,295 dollars. Roughly 70% is going straight to development. The Shenmue III story begins now.
I have been following the live stream and Yu Suzuki just recently announced that the game will open its funding doors to Paypal, so I guess there is time to get to that 10 million dollars yet!
I will update the article when more information is available. SEGA fans did well this last month.
