Homebrew Neo Geo Shooter Project Neon Blasts onto Modern Formats

We reported previously that homebrew developer Fullset would be bringing their homebrew Neo Geo shmup Project Neon to the Nintendo 64, but Fullset isn’t only bringing Project Neon to retro hardware, as the game was released on Xbox One/Series X|S and iOS (iPhone/iPad, Mac and Apple TV) last Friday (July 31, 2026), and the game will also be getting a release on PlayStation 4&5 this Thursday (August 6, 2026), with Nintendo Switch, Android and Steam (Windows/Linux/MacOS) versions of the game set to be released “in the next few days,” as well as planned future releases for further retro consoles planned (Sega Dreamcast and Sega Saturn), and while the first three batches of the physical cartridge version of Project Neon for Neo Geo AES all sold out, a fourth batch of Project Neon cartridges for Neo Geo is set to be released this November, currently up for pre-order via fullset.io.

Fullset described the original Neo Geo version of Project Neon as: “a new, vertical / TATE style Shoot ‘Em Up (shmup), developed for the original Neo Geo MVS / AES platform. It features a 1-2 player mode, with all the bells and whistles of a classic shoot ’em up that you would expect, spiced up with some modern and unique concepts and game mechanics.”

I'm a retro gamer and writer who writes about video games for online and print outlets. My love of gaming began way back in 1986 with the ZX Spectrum, before becoming a lifelong Nintendo fan in 1990 with the Game Boy. And although I keep up with modern gaming, we all know you can't beat retro classics (or maybe I'm just old!) https://x.com/paultwist
