Neo Geo X Gold gets worldwide December release date, $200 price tag

Just when you were wondering if it was all just vaporware, the Neo Geo X has finally received a worldwide release date of December 6th after missing its original Q2 window. The 20th anniversary reboot of the retro gaming system — now branded the Neo Geo X Gold — has a suggested retail price of a cent under $200, and for that you get the handheld and the newly detailed peripherals shown above — a joystick and a charging dock that doubles as TV out (via HDMI or RCA). The specs have changed somewhat since the initial announcement and the handheld is now showing off a 4.3-inch LCD, a little bigger than the 3.5-inch previously announced, while the list of pre-installed titles looks just as healthy as it originally did.
