SNK_will launch a new portable_Neo-Geo

Neo-Geo – Touching people’s past is often one of the best marketing strategies, nostalgia can make our focus is on products that may not (or will be) the best known at present but which bear the name of a wanted toy years ago, has a special place and therefore can not pass and be aware of what could be renewed. SNK is the case that it is preparing a new handheld to follow in the footsteps of the Neo-Geo.

Today is filtered first what could become the team and soon after it was alleged that notice through press releases, so we have an idea of ​​what might bring the new Neo-Geo to the broad market video games, which certainly is not easy for new bets with the rise of PS Vita and 3DS perhaps also the ecosystem of smartphones games as well has been received.

It is believed that the new handheld console Neo-Geo games will have 20 classic and more current business that could be seen in a 4.3-inch LCD screen, plus a 2GB internal memory and an SD card slot is possibly to new games. On the design to manipulate the games were added two more buttons that end by adding four in total, plus the directional pad, the upper (R and L), volume, headphone jack, and so on.

Wii U available in the second half of 2012

Wii U_will come in the second half_of 2012

Wii U - Nintendo seems that Christmas he loosened his secret and tried to shorten the time it might get the new console from the company. When first introduced, we got more than 365 days to speculate when he could get the new console: “sometime in 2012″, but apparently, though not much, the time to be shortened a bit.

But before moving us to say that not much progress. Apparently Nintendo are selfish and will not date until after several months of 2012. As collected, it is not one of the 12 months of next year, is now reduced to only six months because they hope that the console comes in the second half of next year; giant lapse enthusiasts and fans of the brand to look forward to renew the old Wii.

However, by not giving a specific date, but a range in months we can begin to speculate and illusions. The Wii U, if our arrows are on track, could be presented at E3, a video game events in the world and where we saw the first console. This means that the date for us, that could reach the console, would be during the month of June, but knowing the company, the holiday season are a delicacy to easily handle the marketing.

Of course, that is just an assumption, we hope that Nintendo stepped on the accelerator and do not end up dragging its feet or, in the most extreme case, waiting for the launch of a new Xbox or PlayStation, because there it Wii U does get tired of waiting and better while we were sitting.

Sony: PS Vita already available in Japan

Sony_PS Vita_already available in_Japan

Then came the big day and a few hours ago has taken place in Japan release premiere of the new Sony handheld console, the PS Vita. The PS Vita is second member after the Nintendo 3DS, portable consoles of new generation, who come to bet heavily against smartphones, iPhone and Android both casual games and IOS.

The PS Vita launch took place last Saturday at 7 am, forming queues that have nothing to envy those that occur when Apple presented their teams. Thus, for example in Yodobashi Camera gathered more than 600 fans of the console, while Bic Camera gathered more than 300 people.

Sony: PS Vita Memories is expensive but with guaranteed performance

Sony_PS Vita_Memories_is expensive but with_guaranteed performance

I think one of the devices has not lost interest since the announcement is PS Vita, despite criticism (perhaps is what is on everyone’s lips) and ailments so Sony has been happening, it remains a theme that captures our attention. However, since its official announcement, and shortly after the announcement of proprietary technology for the cards, until the day of commissioning reserves in Europe, the subject of reports to take the new Sony handheld console not stop ringing for how costly it could be.

Shortly after Axel tell us the possibility to book PS Vita, prices of reports (unofficial but apparently not yet belie) surfaced leaving everyone a little unhappy stakeholders. According to what is speculation and possible prices published GameStop.

 Memory cards PS Vita would cost:

    * 4 GB: $ 30

    * 8 GB: $ 45

    * 16 GB: $ 70

    * 32 GB: $ 120

In case you do not already know, the memories that PS Vita use are manufactured by Sony, its appearance is similar to the microSD that we all know, but being a proprietary technology for logic (without knowing how to market the company) could deduce that would be cheaper. No, we were wrong to think so and the prices prove it.

Following the announcement of GameStop, one of the departments responsible for software Sony made statements intended to explain / justify the price of memory cards. First, and perhaps what we should care as users, is that Sony is committed to ensuring the performance of each device equally referring to read / write, something which they do not ruin the game experience as might happen with cards conventional microSD memory. Now, what we are left with many questions is why if Sony wants to take more responsibility as the price we must pay us? Or at least a high price; for those of us knowing how the company operates no surprise, but definitely, seeing the price for so little storage, many were in the air.

In itself, this would be the reason why Sony has such a high price on memory cards for PS Vita, who obviously could not be used as alternative storage and would be mandatory for the little internal space that holds the console.

Second, and not something to be said officially, the high price would be to avoid (which we know is something that will not stop) piracy. The security can be seen when in addition to storage cannot be used as alternate, synchronized with only one owner of the business program. And yes, apparently this would have to pay more.

The truth is that nothing makes me happy that, appreciated from the consumer point of view, get a memory card to 32GB of PS Vita would amount to approximately 32GB SSD memory, remembering that the price of the games, apparently, would similar to the PS3.
