@slider1983 thing is Sega doesn't really promises anything here, besides recognizing these franchises exist. It's not the first time people go wild over some random low budget merch marketing Japan only effort. In this case it's because Sega announced all those games a while back, and people want to know what's going on (Shinobi was great)
@Razieluigi the thing is: if it's exactly like the original chip, there's no "problems" to arise. And the Neogeo used the 68000 and Z80, two of the most popular and produced chips of all time. It's a rather safe bet that there won't be any issues.
The concept of a chip needing "updating" when it comes to an FPGA, is down to the fact that the FPGA is essentially simulating the original chip's logic using a much more powerful processor. Similar in concept to how software emulation works, but on hardware. So some small bugs can show up.
Your concern is valid, they could mess up the ASIC, even if unlikely. But even if there are some very specific little bugs, they could just release a newer revision of the hardware later. This is how things were back in the day too. Consoles had internal revisions all the time (see MegaDrive sound chips fluctuating in quality over time).

Re: More Neo Geo Games Are Coming To Evercade In 2027, And It's One Of The Cheapest Places To Play Them
@RossoftheRobots probably the AA releases when they go on sale, 4 bucks per game

TE found an easy engagement bait, expect it to be used any and every time there's an article related to SNK.
It will die out, but i do enjoy the flurry of SNK related news. I love NeoGeo
