The console is famous for its high-quality game library, including titles like "The King of Fighters," "Samurai Shodown," "Fatal Fury," and "Metal Slug." However, its premium quality came with a steep price—$649 for the console and around $200 per game cartridge—making it a luxury item.
Although it wasn’t a mainstream success, the Neo Geo AES is now a collector's item and a significant part of gaming history, especially among retro gaming enthusiasts.
