Hey everyone,

Tommo has updated the game release list for the Neo Geo X. Looks like you can either buy the Volumes 1-5 individually or the entire mega pack on June 25.

You can pre-order the Mega Pack, which has all 15 new games at Amazon here: http://www.amazon.com/NEOGEO-Mega-Pack-Not-Machine-Specific/dp/B00CMDJSV0%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAI47RT7AZDNXKRMLQ%26tag%3Dgamingageonli-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB00CMDJSV0

Huh. Not sure if I should get the mega pack for the hell of it or the smaller ones so I can avoid the excess fighting games. I want more of their shmups.
