SNK and PLAION REPLAI bring the legendary home arcade console back for its 35th anniversary with the NEOGEO AES+ Anniversary Edition—a limited all-white release that preserves the look, feel, and arcade-grade build of the original 90s hardware while adding modern quality-of-life upgrades for today’s setups.
This is a hardware-faithful reimplementation designed for authentic play: no emulation. The AES+ is powered by re-engineered legacy ASIC chips to accurately replicate the original console’s hardware and software behavior, with support for both new cartridges and original NEOGEO AES cartridges.
A reborn NEOGEO AES-style console built to deliver the classic sprite-based arcade experience at home, with modern connectivity and conveniences—without sacrificing authenticity.
