NeoGeo On 3DS Using NeoDS Emulator And R4 3DS

We've covered the NeoGeo emulators for the DS and DSi in the past.  This time though we're happy to show you a new video of the Nintendo 3DS playing NeoGeo Games, real, original, NeoGeo Games using an emulator for the R4 3DS card.  Unlike the virtual console versions that are either stripped down or changed in some way to suit the console, the NeoGeo games you play using an emulator are all authentic and true to the original games.  They use the original game files, and the game you load up an play will be no different than the game you played (or wished you could have played) back in the day on your NeoGeo MVS console.  The NeoGeo truly brought the arcade eperience in to your living room.  The games were identical to what you were able to play in your local arcade.  Nothings was stripped down, no music or levels were taken out, everything was eactly as it would have been had you put your money into the arcade cabinet at yor local arcade.  This is what set the NeoGeo apart from many of the other home game systems of the day.  However, it also came with a hefty price tage. The console itself was twice the price of a Super NES, and the games were equallyexpensive at $200 or more per game in their peak days.  The pricing didn't stop some real hard core gamers from going out and spending their hard earned cash on a true arcade experience right in their living room though.  ANd with converters and adapters, customer were able to go out an buy the arcade versions of the cartridges themselvesm at a huge discount over what the home versions cost.

But boy have times changed.   These days we have hand held gaming systems that have 3 or 4 times the power under the hood, when compared to the now old school NeoGeo MVS system.  And with the help of Emulators like NeoDS, you can actually turn your 3DS console in to a full fledged NeoGeo home console, playing all of the orginal NeoGeo games, just as they were intended to be played.... except now you can carry them around in your pocket, and not have to lug your whole (and rather massive) NeoGeo system and the huge cartridges it had for games.
