Andorra Studio Nalua Brings New NEOGEO Games to Tokyo Game Show
A two-person-scale studio from a country of about 82,000 people is writing new software for 1990s SNK hardware, which says the NEOGEO homebrew scene has spread well past Japan.
Reporting from 1 source: 4Gamer.net.
Nalua Studio of the Principality of Andorra exhibited at Tokyo Game Show 2026 in Hall 9, developing new titles for the NEOGEO, the platform SNK began rolling out in 1990. Its belt-scroll action game Vengeance Hunters was built for the NEOGEO home AES and arcade MVS, with three playable characters and two-player co-op. TGS 2026 drew 1,138 exhibitors from 53 countries, with 598 from overseas.
Andorra does not have a game industry to speak of, which is what made the Hall 9 booth worth stopping at. The country field on the TGS exhibitor list read Principality of Andorra, a state of 468 square kilometers between France and Spain with a population of about 82,000.
What Nalua Studio brought was not a retro-styled game but software built for the NEOGEO itself, the platform SNK began rolling out in 1990 with a shared arcade and home hardware configuration. Its belt-scroll action game Vengeance Hunters runs on the home AES and arcade MVS.
