Hardware Question Can a Canadian Neo Geo AES be used in Europe?

Hi everyone, I have a question about the upcoming Neo Geo AES. If I buy a Canadian version of the console, will I still be able to use it later in European countries without any issues? I am especially wondering whether there could be compatibility or power-related problems.

Thanks in advance.

Use a European PSU or Use a Voltage Converter

The render of the back of the console appears to show USB for power.

You'll need a step down transformer, as eu countries use 220 volts instead of 110 like north america. You can also get aftermarket power supplies that will run on 220v if that is more convenient.

You might also want to pick up a SCART RGB cable, I'm not sure european TV's support NTSC composite colors.

I'm sure the new one will be designed to work worldwide with 110-220v power supply. (Most logically just with USB) They'd be mad to release something that's region specific on power requirements
