NEOGEO AES+ Dated for September 16, 2027 at TGS2026 Booth
The booth answers the question the delay left open: the hardware exists in final-looking form, keeps AV output and original cartridge and stick compatibility, and now carries a firm September 16, 2027 date.
Reporting from 1 source: GAME Watch (Impress).
PLAION REPLAI showed the NEOGEO AES+ in playable form at Tokyo Game Show 2026, with ten launch titles on the floor. The console was pushed from November 12, 2026 to September 16, 2027, at 32,800 yen, with an Anniversary Edition at 49,800 yen. It supports HDMI and AV output and accepts original ROM cartridges and arcade sticks.
The unit on the PLAION REPLAI floor is a matte black console and arcade stick built to match the original down to the surface texture. Games run in a 4:3 image over HDMI, and the report describes low-latency output on titles including Metal Slug, whose detail holds up, and Magician Lord, an early NEOGEO release.
Ten titles ship alongside the console and were all playable at the booth. Alongside HDMI, the AES+ keeps AV output for a CRT and accepts original ROM cartridges and arcade sticks. The console lists at 32,800 yen and the Anniversary Edition at 49,800 yen, both dated September 16, 2027.
