SNK later extended the brand by releasing two handheld consoles, the Neo Geo Pocket, and later Neo Geo Pocket Color, which briefly competed with Nintendo's Game Boy. A planned home console based on the hardware was never released. The system did not fare well and only a few games were released for it. In an attempt to compete with increasingly popular 3D games, SNK released the Hyper Neo Geo 64 arcade system in 1997 as the successor to its aging MVS. The console was met with limited success, due in part to its slow CD-ROM drive. Years later, SNK released the Neo Geo CD, a more cost-effective console with games released on compact discs. However, the high price for both the AES console and its games prevented it from directly competing with its contemporaries, the Sega Genesis, Super NES, and TurboGrafx-16. Both the MVS and AES were powerful for the time, and the AES allows for fully authentic versions of games released for the MVS.
The Neo Geo MVS was successful with arcade operators worldwide. On the market from 1990 to 2004, the brand originated with the release of an arcade system, the Neo Geo MVS and its home console counterpart, the Neo Geo AES.
