$199 US Dollars is a lot of money for this little bit of nostalgia. Plus no Super Spy? Magician Lord would be great to play again. Maybe the fighters, once. There are new versions of King of Fighters that I don't even play. WTF is Super Spy you're asking me now?

That game still looks bad ass nice. Anyway... leave your take on the NeoGeoX below, whether or not you think this is worth 200 bucks.
