niiiiiiice. That a Vita style thumbstick or Nintendo slide pad do we know?

No idea yet, it's just those 2 pictures doing the rounds at the moment. I loved that little clicky stick they had on the Neo Pocket, I'd love it if they went there again.

Duuur silly me. I never owned an NGP, always fancied one though.

Ditto!

This looks fantastic. I really love Neo-Geo stuff and have a healthy collection of MVS carts. It's a real shame that SNK weren't really able to keep it going in the arcades. Their devotion to the MVS was admirable from an operators standpoint. I guess they got their fingers burnt with the Hyper64 and that was that.

Want this but it looks like they're using an iPhone 4 case.

Yeah, they've gone with an iPhone 4 style. Personally I think the iPhone 4 looks really nice, so no problem with that. Physical controls are where it's at, so if they've got a nice feel this could be really good.

Just to add my awesomeness, I'm not sure it is an iPhone style... It might be using a style made famous by iPhone 4, but I'm pretty sure I've seen this grey rimmed black device design before? I'm happy to be wrong.

Yeah, the iPhone 4 design may have been taken in part from the prior LG prada

The answer is PSP. OMG applez stole the idea from SOny LOLZ. Any more existing answers on a postcard.

Ah, I can see it now. Strange that I was not able to make that connection.

I'd like one but it would have to tick so many boxes before I part with my cash.

1. NGPC style octogate d-pad, besides an actual joystick that's the best control input I've ever used for fighting games, infact I'd probably put it above an actual stick. Never once missed a DP or QCB>HCF with it which pretty much all SNK fighters are notorious for.
2. NGPC style front-end, ie: Game select, music player, calendar, even the old horoscope!
3. The correct logos. The 'SNK' font is wrong with this one looking at some higher res shots.
