You’ve Never Experienced Neo Geo Hardware Drama Like This

Michael McWhertor — You've Never Experienced Neo Geo Hardware Drama Like ThisYou've Never Experienced Neo Geo Hardware Drama Like This Are you ready to have a Neo Geo make sweet love to your eyeballs? Thanks to photographer Aaron Nanto and his perfectly preserved, beautifully shot SNK hardware, your retinas are about to be thoroughly and lovingly sexed.

This is "Neo Geo: Bigger Badder Better," a "cinematic tribute to SNK's 24-bit arcade powerhouse" and the most gorgeous presentation of sleek Neo Geo hardware (and software!) we've ever seen. Gaze in wonder as high-definition cameras sweep across Neo Geo AES, Neo Geo CD, and MV1-MVS hardware.

See the 16-bit beauty of Metal Slug, Samurai Shodown, Fatal Fury and The King of Fighters like never before. Experience a visual retro gaming spectacle that's the complete opposite of this tragedy.

He must know someone over there or have contacted them.  Looks like we get to watch the video today instead of tomorrow.  Excellent job Aaron, though I think credits are too long.  :)

The music in the beginning has a rather ominous tone to it. It kinda gave the Neo-Geo an evil empire sort of feeling... I love it!!  8)

Great job, Aaron!

I've been trying to track where the video has spread - I believe Joystiq broke it first, then Kotaku picked it up from them (at this point, YouTube views exploded).

A Mexican site picked it up, and I've been getting a bunch of views from down there, and I got almost 10K views from dailymotion.com over the past day.  I can't believe my film is 3rd place in top trending videos over there (competing with official music videos and movie clips!)

The music is from the group Two Steps from Hell which create trailer music for TV & film.  They have a selection of albums which are available to the public.  They make amazing stuff!
