Plaion says the Neo Geo AES+, launching November 13, 2026, is a 1:1 reproduction built around newly re-engineered ASIC chips rather than emulation or an FPGA approach, with noted retro hardware specialists Jotego and Furrtek involved in development. However, FPGA developer Pramod Somashekar alleges the project could effectively be a MiSTer-derived design split into multiple ASICs, a potential "bait and switch" that could limit post-launch updates, despite the console's modern HDMI and legacy CRT-friendly outputs.https://www.notebookcheck.net/FPGA-developer-claims-Plaion-s-NeoGeo-AES-is-effectively-a-bait-and-switch.1279381.0.html
