According to a notice posted online by SNK Playmore in Japan, the company has terminated global manufacture and distribution licenses for the NeoGeo X Gold Limited Edition games console and SNK NeoGeo X Arcade Stick, as well as Mega Pack Volume 1 and Classics volumes 1 – 5 game bundles.

“In order to protect our intellectual property rights such as ‘NeoGeo’ and ‘SNK,’ decisive measures will be taken against all unapproved NeoGeo X products not subject to the license agreement,” said the company a statement on their website.



The NeoGeo X handheld console was released late last year and game bundles for the platform went on sale this spring. NeoGeo X Gold System manufacture by Tommo in Japan ended earlier this year.
