Hot off the press and given the heads up by our good friends Retrotaku, is a rather eye opening Neo Geo prototype that has been found, and teased to a rather shocked community. Revealed by NeoTurfMasta at Midwest Gaming Classic 2016, this looks to be a rather interesting fighting game, similar to those seen at the Arcades, that featured a number of characters each with different fighting moves. According to the details in the video there is no information on the name of the game or the company that was developing it. This is a game that was never even listed on any SNK catalogs ever and was thought to be developed by Technos for various reasons, but at this time there is no proof of this.
