Despite once being the most expensive, exclusive and elusive console, Neo-Geo is now actually the most ever-present classic format available to any modern gamer. As of September 30th 2020, 109 of the 148 official Neo-Geo titles listed on neo-geo.com have been re-released on at least one modern format. Now, I’m not generally counting any re-releases for Playstation 2, Playstation 3, Xbox 360 or Wii, because at this point they are probably as hard to find as an original MVS title (if possibly cheaper).
While we’re about to get new consoles, both are backwards compatible so the library should theoretically port over to Playstation 5 and Xbox Series S/X.
With that in mind, the best place to get the biggest Neo-Geo library is the Switch or Xbox. Both have access to all 104 currently available ACA Neogeo titles, but only the Switch (and PS4) has the remastered version of Windjammers. Consider this the master list of available games (bolded are the major classics):
