Neo Geo games were released through [[Xbox Live Arcade]] and [[PlayStation Network]] (for the [[PlayStation 3]], the service was called [[NEOGEO Station]]), including ''[[Fatal Fury Special]]'', ''[[Samurai Shodown II]]'', ''[[Metal Slug 3]]'', ''[[Garou: Mark of the Wolves]]'' and ''[[The King of Fighters '98]]''. Many Neo Geo games were released on the [[PlayStation 4]], [[Xbox One]], [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]], and [[Nintendo Switch]] through the ''[[Arcade Archives]]'' service under the ''ACA Neo Geo'' label. In 2019,[[Antstream|Antstream Arcade]] also runs Neo Geo games during the gaming platform's early lifespan.

Homebrew activity began after the console's discontinuation, both by noncommercial hobbyists and commercially.<ref name="ngdevteam">{{cite web | url=http://www.ngdevteam.com/ | title=NG:Dev.Team, a third party NeoGeo publisher | access-date=23 April 2015}}</ref>

The Neo Geo has a community of collectors. Because of the limited production runs received by cartridges amongst the sizable available arcade library, some of the rarest Neo Geo games can sell for well over $1,000. The most valuable game is the European AES version of ''[[Kizuna Encounter: Super Tag Battle]]''. The MVS market provides a cheaper alternative to the expensive and rare home cartridges, and complete arcade kits are priced at a premium.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.neo-geo.com/guides/aesguide.html |title=Neo Geo AES price guide |publisher=Neo-geo.com |access-date=2012-01-26}}</ref> It is also possible to play the MVS cartridges, which generally cost much less, on the AES home system through the use of adapters.

In 2009, the Neo Geo was ranked 19th out of the 25 best video game consoles of all time by video game website [[IGN]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ign.com/top-25-consoles/19.html |title=NeoGeo is number 19 |website=IGN |access-date=2012-01-26}}</ref>
