Last week SNK revealed the NeoGeo Arcade Stick Pro which we’ve learned is a retro style console/fight stick with 20 games pre-loaded onto the hardware. All games are SNK classic fighting titles that doubles as both a fighting stick and a retro console for vintage gaming fans worldwide.
SNK finally released more details on how the new Arcade Stick Pro will work and further details on each of the two modes: Joystick and Console. You can find all of the details for the new retro experience below via SNK:
The next in line for the NEOGEO legacy comes the NEOGEO Arcade Stick Pro. It’s an incredibly unique fighting stick in that it comes with fighting games pre-installed! It was inspired by the NEOGEO CD’s controller design and was blown up to fighting stick size. (W 430mm×D 215mm×H 125mm) Additionally, the arcade stick can switch between two modes: Arcade Stick Mode and Console Mode.
At the moment, we have plans for a world-wide release. (However, please understand that the specifics may change based on the country.) Please wait for more updates concerning launch date and price.
Joystick Mode
In this mode, you can use the arcade stick normally by simply plugging it into a NEOGEO mini or PC. We guarantee a solid experience with this arcade stick.
Console Mode
In this mode, simply connect the stick via an HDMI cable into a TV and get ready to enjoy some of SNK’s finest fighting games. There are 20 pre-installed NEOGEO classics just waiting to be played. You can even rearrange the button layout in the options menu. Also, you can attach NEOGEO mini PAD controllers or even another NEOGEO Arcade Stick Pro for some glorious 2-Player action!
As stated, the NeoGeo Arcade Stick Pro is expected to release worldwide, but there’s no current release date set for the retro experience.
