That looks very svelte indeed, but when you say USB corded version does that mean no wireless? Boo. My PS3 lives far away from my couch.
That must be from the Neo-Geo CD system?
My Neo-Geo came with arcade sticks, and I can't imagine playing SNK fighter's without one.

Anybody remember that the system was $599 and games cost about $200...in 1990? My little kid shorts were certainly soiled when I heard that news.
and it didn't even have blu-ray!

I'm super hot for it too... but BUYER BEWARE... Sony can kill compatibility of this game pad any time they please. Just like they killed my Saturn USB pads. Just like they killed Linux. Just a warning.

Yeah, I bought most of my games used for around $75 each. Not too bad compared to Genesis/SNES carts at the time.

In between my pooping/crying fits, I always thought it was cool that you could take your cart to the Arcade and swap your saves. Alas...I settled for a TurboGrafx16 for $50 years later.
I never did the arcade swap thing, why would I pay a quarter to finish a game I own and have at home?
It looked good on paper though, and I guess it served to prove that the home version one the arcade version were the same.
Turbografx had a few I liked, Wanderer's from Y's book 1 & 2, Bonk and Legendary Axe come to mind. I never got the turbografx CD though.

It was just the memory card that plugged into the arcade machine btw.
Neo-Geo carts are too big to lug around. Seriously, they're bigger than the Wii!!! :)

Yeah, my kid brain thought it would be cool. But seeing as I was never able to try it, you're probably right.
Come to think of it, I think I had the portable TurboGraphx too. That thing was cool because you could take the little game card thing from the console and just play it on the go. At least...I think that's how it worked.

NEC had some nice stuff back in the day, it's a shame they never found their killer app.
They had another game I liked too. Was it Vigilante? Side scroller beatem' up that was the shit!!!

Meh. If you're gonna play on a pad, Saturn pads are better. And this is coming from a pretty big Neo Geo fan (still play my home console frequently). I had the original Neo CD pad, and I have the PS2 version (from the limited edition KOF '94 Re-bout). It's... interesting. But honestly not that great, the d-pad/nub just isn't precise enough and it's annoyingly clicky, and the face buttons feel a little cheap. It's not BAD, and I would prefer it to a dual shock for fighters, but there are better options - arcade sticks, Saturn pad.
Also, re: Ujn Hunter's comment... my USB Saturn pad still works fine on my up-to-date PS3.
And as for the memory cards... I always thought of it as just a way for people who didn't own a home Neo console to still be able to buy the same memory card and use it on the arcade games (especially non-fighters, think someone playing Magician Lord a level at a time in the arcade). Though it's true you COULD use the same saves on both.

Oh, yeah. I think Vigilante and Bonk might have been the only games I had :(

@Ujn
You likely had knockoffs. Legit Saturn USB pads still work, as I understand.
Heck, all my third party controls still work, and I have more than a few questionable ones.

I received 2 in last Tuesday. I love these controllers. The d-pad is not a floating d-pad but a mini-arcade stick. The clicks are from actual mictroswitches. As much as I love arcade sticks, these pads are a bit easier to use and travel with. I cannot wait to play some NeoGeo Station games on this pad.
