Plaion and SNK have confirmed that Neo Turf Masters (also marketed as Big Tournament Golf) will be included in the Neo Geo+ AES line of physical reissues, with the Neo Geo CD’s famously brutal Scotland course added to this AES release.
The move is part of a wider Plaion initiative to reissue ten classic Neo Geo titles in physical formats for the Neo Geo+ AES, bringing arcade-era SNK software back to collectors and retro enthusiasts.
Neo Turf Masters, developed and originally released by SNK in 1996 for the Neo Geo MVS arcade and Neo Geo AES home systems, is widely regarded as one of the best arcade golf simulators of its era.
The game was also ported to the Neo Geo CD, which included a notably difficult Scotland course that did not appear on the original AES/MVS cartridges.
Recently, community modders produced a patch that unlocked the Scotland course on AES/MVS builds; Plaion’s official announcement confirms the Neo Geo+ AES edition will ship with Scotland integrated without removing the Australian course—a limitation some fan patches introduced.
Plaion’s product page describes the gameplay options and course selection in straightforward terms, noting players can select from a roster of international golfers and play across courses set in the USA, Japan, Germany and Australia—while marking Scotland’s first official appearance on an AES-format release.
Rewritten for clarity: players will be able to choose international golfers and compete across courses in the United States, Japan, Germany, Australia and, for the first time on an AES release, Scotland.
Neo Turf Masters for Neo Geo+ AES is scheduled to ship on 12 November 2026 and is listed at a retail price of £69.99.
The title joins nine other Neo Geo classics that Plaion is reissuing as part of the Neo Geo+ AES program, a project positioned to appeal to collectors who value physical editions and authentic Neo Geo presentation.
This release underscores ongoing demand for authentic retro hardware and carefully curated reissues.
By incorporating the Neo Geo CD’s Scotland course into the Neo Geo+ AES edition without sacrificing existing content, Plaion and SNK have delivered a complete version of Neo Turf Masters that honors both arcade and CD-era variations for AES collectors and SNK fans.
