The Neo Geo MVS was a success during the 1990s, due to the cabinet's low cost, six ROM slots and compact size. The Neo Geo was a very powerful system when released, more powerful than any video game console at the time, and many arcade systems such as rival Capcom's CPS, which did not surpass it until the CP System II in 1993.
The Neo Geo was revived along with the brand overall in December 2012 through the introduction of the Neo Geo X handheld and home system.

The AES had the same raw specs as the MVS and had full compatibility, thus managed to bring a true arcade experience to home users. It was originally launched as a rental console for video game stores in Japan (called Neo Geo Rental System), with its high price causing SNK not to release it for home use – this was later reversed due to high demand and it came into the market as a luxury console. A home console version was also made, called AES (Advanced Entertainment System). With its games stored on self-contained cartridges, a game cabinet can be exchanged for a different game title by swapping the game's ROM Cartridge and cabinet artwork. The MVS offers owners the ability to put up to six different cartridges into a single cabinet, a unique feature that was also a key economic consideration for operators with limited floorspace, as well as saving money in the long-run. The Neo Geo originally launched as the MVS (Multi Video System) coin-operated arcade machine. The Neo Geo was marketed as 24-bit its CPU is technically a 16/ 32-bit 68000-based system with an 8/16-bit Z80 coprocessor, while its GPU chipset has a 24-bit graphics data bus.
It was the first system in SNK's Neo Geo family. The Neo Geo ( Japanese: ネオジオ, Hepburn: Neojio), stylised as NEO・GEO, also written as NEOGEO, is a cartridge-based arcade system board and fourth-generation home video game console released on April 26, 1990, by Japanese game company SNK Corporation. 320×224 resolution, 4096 on-screen colors out of a palette of 65536
