UNICO MVS Mini Home Arcade Machine, 45 Pre-Loaded Classic Games:10 KOF / 5 Metal SLUG / 7 Fatal Fury / 6 Samurai SHODOWN and More, 3.5inch Screen, HDMI and Gamepads Port

Back in the 90's I worked at a store that had a red SNK MVS arcade cabinet. I remember spending my break times playing games on that machine. When I learned there was an MVS themed Neo Geo Mini, I had to order one!For the younger generations, the Neo Geo was a home video game console in the 90's. At the time, The Super NES and Sega Genesis dominated the market, but due to hardware limitations, those consoles had "watered down" versions of arcade games. The Neo Geo featured some faithfully reproduced arcade games. It was like playing the actual arcade games at home! Unfortunately, the Neo Geo was pretty expensive to own back in the 90's. For most of us, it wasn't a system we could afford.Looking at the MVS themed Neo Geo Mini, the machine looks great, and is built well (sturdy). The display is excellent, and the speaker provides a decent amount of sound from such a small device. The system comes with two decals, one to apply around the buttons and joystick, and one for the marquee. The decals have a matte finish, are thick, and look like they will last. There are 45 built in games - I was excited to see one of my favorite fighting game series, The King of Fighters, is fully represented, from '94 to '03. The games are all the Japanese versions, but many can be switched to English in the individual game' settings. For those that don't, you can usually understand how the game is played. If you are familiar with the original Neo Geo home console, the button layout on the Neo Geo mini is slightly different. Still, it didn't take long for me to get used to the newer layout. The system comes with a USB power cord, but like many "mini consoles", you will need to provide your own power brick to plug into an outlet. The console has an earphone jack in case you want to use headphones, and a mini HDMI port if you want to plug the system into an HDTV (HDMI cord not included). I'm pretty happy with the built-in display - I don't think I'll ever hook it up to a TV. The system has two controller ports, so you can use actual controllers (sold separately) instead of the built-in joystick and buttons.I did purchase a controller to connect to the machine. The controller is weighted, and feels like the original Neo Geo controller, but the D-pad doesn't contain micro-switches like the original Neo Geo controller, and as a result is a little "floaty". Still, that doesn't keep me from being able to perform special moves in the built-in fighting games.Very happy to add this to my game collection!

Excelent

This is a great product, lots of great games preloaded. A great value for an inexpensive price!

Great little system awful shipping. If you are wanting to get this to collect buy from somewhere else there was no outside box just the box it comes in with shipping labels stuck right on them box destroyed

Mil gracias 😊

The MVS mini has many of snk's fighting games, that made this a good purchase. The two things that brought this down to four stars is that these are not the arcade games and the text in few of the games was in Japanese. This shipped new and in perfect condition, no problem from ordering from seller.

This little unit is fine. It indeed has 45 SNK games. They’re the AES versions but AES games were basically the arcade roms with quality of life options.One thing that took me by surprise is all of the games are in Japanese. That was not advertised anywhere. The box itself where it lists the games uses the North American logos.So Fatal Fury isn’t “Fatal Fury,” it’s “Garou Densetsu.” Samurai Shodown is Samurai Spirits and so forth. The option to set everything in English is just the menus between games. The games themselves are all Japanese so there’s not much point in taking the time to beat any of these since you won’t understand anyway.All in all, it’s a fine product. The games play well, they sound really good and this is definitely a high quality screen.

Wonderful times when memories of those days are kept by my bedside.
