NeoGeo Arcade Stick Pro is the ultimate retro gaming Prime Day gift

If you've been following the retro gaming scene in the past couple of years, you might have noticed that miniature versions of retro consoles have been hot stuff. The NeoGeo Arcade Stick, a peripheral which also includes a collection of old SNK games you've probably seen at the arcades in one form or another over the years, is one of the best. 

For Prime Day, Amazon is discounting the NeoGeo Arcade Stick, which is both a standalone console and an actual arcade stick you can use when playing other games. Just hook it up to your TV via HDMI and enjoy these classics on the big screen. 

Most of SNK's most famous games series are represented here, like King of Fighters, Fatal Fury, Metal Slug and Samurai Showdown. It's a more niche selection than your SNES Classic or PlayStation Mini, but that's sort of what's great about it.
