The interesting part of the game isn't anything most people would find interesting: it's being developed on and for the Neo-Geo hardware. Stuff like that has taken off recently, there's kind of a community of people making actually new actual SNES/Genesis games. I can see the appeal, there's a lot of fun in the limits and physical concerns of developing an old game.
However, there's not much to it for someone outside of those circles. It's a "huh! Nifty" fact, not a "oh shit" fact.
