SNK has recently announced that it has created the Neo Geo Arcade Stick Pro, which features 20 pre-loaded games. The new device from SNK will function as a controller, but will also have its own preloaded games. While the Neo Geo Arcade Stick Pro is in its controller mode, it has compatibility with PCs or with the tiny Neo Geo Mini. However, when the device is placed in console mode, users can play games by running and HDMI cable into the device.
SNK has not yet indicated a price point or release date for its new arcade stick. Some of the 20 titles for the arcade stick have been speculated to include games produced by the company, like King of Fighters, Samurai Showdown and more.
