Ashen might be known for giving bad reviews – but – this one makes a lot of sense. I mean, a NeoGeo made by SNK that’s just an emulator? And not and an especially powerful one at that…. I am disappoint. Not super disappoint, since I was never a NeoGeo fan – but still..
You’re right, his Dingoo review was lazy and it annoyed me that he didn’t cover OD at all. However, I think this review is pretty much spot on. The machine is a cheap and nasty cash in and SNK shouldn’t have put their name to it.
edit: Oh, and not all of his reviews are dismal. If I remember rightly his Open Pandora review was pretty upbeat.
Yeah, I’m a fan of Ashens, and he likes “taking the piss.” But he’s generally a fair reviewer. He just doesn’t always go into a review with complete knowledge on the stuff he’s reviewing. I think his Neo Geo X review is spot on though. Unlike the collectors and fanboys on youtube who are just jizzing over the fact that SNK put out a new “official” console, and in stores no less.

Since when has Ashens given a favorable review to anything, besides snacks?
Even his review of the a320 could be called ambivalent, at best.
