NEOGEO AES+ Anniversary White Edition - Metal Slug Bundle [PLAION REPLAI - JPN]

Japanese Original Version, Brand New NEOGEO AES+ Console

SNK and the PLAION REPLAI team come together to celebrate a legend with the NEOGEO AES+ Anniversary Edition, marking the 35th anniversary of one of the most iconic home consoles in gaming history.

Reimagined with its signature premium design and arcade-grade build quality, this special release faithfully recreates the original Japanese NEOGEO AES while introducing modern enhancements and quality-of-life improvements for today’s players. Every detail preserves the spirit of the system that defined the golden age of sprite-based arcade gaming.

Presented in a striking limited all-white edition, the NEOGEO AES+ Anniversary Edition stands as both a tribute to its legacy and a refined revival, delivering the authentic arcade experience at home.

● Uncompromising gaming machine
Gameplay on the NEOGEO AES+ is not achieved through emulation - instead the console is powered by its legacy ASIC chips, re-engineered by modern standards to accurately replicate the original machine's hardware and software. The system natively plays game software from both new and old game cartridges for the most authentic retro gaming experience. Not emulation, not FPGA approximation, but true console reincarnation etched back into silicon.

● Retro gaming of the future
While maintaining the original look and feel, the NEOGEO AES+ implements modern-day quality-of-life features such as low-latency HDMI display output (whilst also including the original AV output for CRT enthusiasts), DIP switches for language selection, overclocking and different display modes, and the ability to store permanent High Scores (Memory Card accessory required).

● Arcade authenticity
The NEOGEO AES+ includes the iconic Arcade Stick (wired), a 1:1 replica of the original stick built to mirror the control panel found on SNK's legendary MVS arcade cabinets. Designed for the NEOGEO AES+, the Arcade Stick connects natively to the console via the classic 15-pin connector (making it backward-compatible with the original consoles from the 90s and making the original Arcade Sticks from the 90s forward-compatible with the NEOGEO AES+) for an unmatched arcade experience at home. This stick is the pinnacle of arcade purity with no compromises, delivering the look, feel and fast response that defined a gaming generation.

● Exclusive white Metal Slug game cartridge
The NEOGEO AES+ Anniversary Edition also includes an exclusive all-white Metal Slug game cartridge to get the action started straight out of the box! Experience the explosive arcade classic that defined run-and-gun action. Blast your way through enemy bases, jungles, and deserts, rescue prisoners of war and jump into the iconic Metal Slug tank as explosive action unfolds on screen. Packed with humour, detail and pure 2D craftsmanship, Metal Slug remains one of the most beloved titles in the NEOGEO library.
