Tanita has been working on the production of a measuring device modeled after SNK’s Neo Geo cabinets. The company has newly announced that the Neo Geo-like device, which will consist of a clock, thermometer, and hygrometer, will also contain BGMs from SNK’s games like The King of Fighters ’95.
In the Japanese announcement tweet, the company noted that it chose KOF ’95 because its staff members considered the game to be a hallmark in the series for introducing the Team Edit System. The same staff members are also choosing specific tunes that would symbolize the entry.
The King of Fighters ’95 will not be the only game to have its soundtrack featured on this device. Tanita has also shared teaser images for three more titles in the same announcement. As an example, the lower left image is based on the Japanese logo for Garou Densetsu Special, which is better known in the West as Fatal Fury Special.
Here is the source announcement tweet from Tanita’s official X account:
Tanita has also been working on more game-themed measuring devices with SNK. Previously in late 2024, it revealed a body composition monitor with a playable copy of The King of Fighters ’98 that cost 2.2 million yen or around $14,340.
The Neo Geo-shaped measuring device that can act as a clock, thermometer, and hygrometer is still undergoing production. SNK has given its approval to mass-produce the device on January 21, 2025. However, it will still take more time until Tanita is ready to put the product up for pre-orders.
