The Neo Geo X was pitched as a hybrid system, predating the Nintendo Switch's form factor by several years. For a launch price of $199, buyers received the "Neo Geo X Gold Limited Edition" package. The bundle was highly ambitious, containing three distinct pieces of hardware designed to replicate the premium SNK experience: neogeo x

The biggest blow came when SNK Playmore terminated their licensing agreement with Tommo in 2013. Suddenly, the "Official" status of the console was in a weird grey area. Production ceased, and the system became a collector's item rather than a sustained platform.

Fast-forward to 2012, when SNK Playmore announced the release of the Neo Geo X, a handheld gaming console that would bring classic Neo Geo games to life on the go. The console was designed to be a faithful recreation of the original Neo Geo arcade experience, with a library of 40 classic games pre-installed. However, the Neo Geo X was not without its flaws

Tommo, however, refused. They claimed their contract with SNK was still valid and continued to sell and support the device, leading to an escalating legal dispute that would define the product's legacy. By early 2014, the situation was a stalemate. While production had reportedly ended in Japan after its initial limited run, the device remained on sale in other territories with no official recall. The ambitious handheld revival, with its promising hardware, had been "let down by barebones software and a bitter legal feud that led to its early demise".

For those who may not be familiar, Neo Geo was a revolutionary arcade platform that was first introduced in 1990 by SNK. It was a 32-bit system that was capable of producing high-quality 2D graphics and was known for its durability and reliability. The Neo Geo arcade platform was home to some of the most iconic games of the 1990s, including Fatal Fury, King of Fighters, and Art of Fighting.

The Neo Geo X was conceived as a way to bring the Neo Geo experience to a wider audience, particularly those who wanted to play classic SNK games on-the-go. The handheld console was developed in collaboration with SNK's partners, including Tommo Inc., a US-based company responsible for the console's design and manufacturing.
