Tiniest Neo Geo arcade cabinet ever

by JC Fletcher { Aug 11th 2009 at 3:00AM }

If there were a show called Arcade Babies in which miniaturized versions of popular arcade games hung out in a nursery and had adventures, modder Pocket_lucho's Neo Geo Pocket Arcade would easily get the lead role. Using parts of a real Neo Geo cabinet along with a plug-and-play game's joystiq, miniature buttons, a PSOne screen (the modder's choice!) and, of course, a custom cabinet, Pocket_lucho crafted a Neo Geo cabinet even cuter than SNK's official MVS-2 Mini. You can see it in tiny action after the break.

As impressive as this is, it's the third unit in Pocket_lucho's tiny console arcade, joining lil' Mega Drive and PC Engine cabinets.

That's adorable.

...I've watched girlier things then you can even COMPREHEND. I lost my manly pride somewhere between Rozen Maiden and Strike Witches.

that is awesome, but my favorite is the mega drive

Dude! that would be awesome on top of my bedside table.

Sounds great that Neo Geo is back in form to launch some tremendous games in order to maintain its previous reputation but i suggest it has to take some lessons from Sony as it is very popular among the people of all ages by its superb achievements...........

I'd hit it.

The chibiness is excessive to the brain. The cabinet is ridiculously beautiful.

Cute. Wouldn't want to try to pull off Geese's raging storm on that thing though.

atx1980 @ Aug 11th 2009 10:56AM

Retail = $750

Lions3 @ Aug 11th 2009 11:59AM

WANT

I've spent the last evening trying to figure out how much time and money it would take to duplicate this...

RavenLord @ Aug 11th 2009 12:17PM

ok so this would be a lot cooler if it was actually a stand alone little cabinet but seeing as all the guy is doing is shrinking the display which still requires connections to a television this isn't nearly as impressive as it should be. I am however impressed with the crafting of the mini cabinet and how it looks exactly like a full sized arcade unit. If he could actually cram a full Neo Geo board into something small and have it be a stand alone player he's got my respect.

What are you some rich kid?..I doubt your a kid.. And you know why because you were to young to Remember NEO GEO!!.. This hit the arcades in 1988 I still remember all the classics.. But my favorite was in the 90's Magician Lord, Fatal Fury 1-2 Art Of Fighting 1-2 Sengoku the rest is history........There just to many to list...But what I'd like to ask you is where can I buy this mini Arcade Cabinet! lol...Remember OLD SCHOOL RULES!!
