However, the system missed its planned North American launch date of October 1995, and while SNK declined to give a specific reason for the delay, in their announcement of the new January 1996 launch date they stated that they had decided against using a double speed drive. In response to criticism of the Neo Geo CD's long load times, SNK planned to produce a model with a double speed CD-ROM drive for North America, compared to the single speed drive of the Japanese and European models.

The Neo Geo CD had met with limited success due to it being plagued with slow loading times that could vary from 30 to 60 seconds between loads, depending on the game. The CDZ was released on Decem as the Japanese market replacement for SNK's previous efforts (the "front loader" and the "top loader"). The front-loading version is the original console design, with the top-loading version having been developed shortly before the Neo Geo CD launch as a scaled-down, cheaper alternative model.

The Neo Geo CDZ, an upgraded, faster-loading version, released in Japan only.

A top-loading version, marketed worldwide, as the most common model.

A front-loading version, only distributed in Japan, with 25,000 total units built.

Three versions of the Neo Geo CD were released: SNK planned to release Neo Geo CD versions of every Neo Geo game still in the arcades. The console uses the same CPU set-up as the arcade and cartridge-based Neo Geo systems, facilitating conversions. The Neo Geo CD was first unveiled at the 1994 Tokyo Toy Show. The CDZ was only released in Japan and featured faster CD loading than the previous models.
