The Hyper Neo Geo 64 is an arcade system board created by SNK, and released in September 1997. As the successor of the popular Neo Geo (MVS), it was the first and only SNK hardware set capable of rendering in 3D, conceived to bring SNK into the 3D era that had arisen during the mid-1990s.
The system never managed to match the huge success of the 16-bit Neo Geo.[1] Only seven games were produced, none of which proved particularly popular,[2] and only one of them, Fatal Fury: Wild Ambition, has been ported to home systems. A home console version was rumored to be in development but was never confirmed by SNK.[3]
