I think this handheld deserved a lot more third party support. You can clearly see how much potential it had by looking at SNK's efforts in their fighting game ports. They were full of charm and had decent gameplay.
I’m glad neo geo pocket colors volumes had New Years 2023 sales for switch. Though vol 2 cost more and not everything had English. Library is so small that there is at least 1/4 of the games available which is nice preservation. There are also physicals.
I used to live this little thing...it saved me from falling asleep on very long nights being stuck on barracks duty and staying alert especially with no coffee around.
Had this console succeeded, PUZZLE LINK would've been their answer to TETRIS. It was a great game. I had such a time trying to find titles in Electronics Boutique.
If anyone want to complete the NGP library (not only NGPC), there are two games not having Color version, which are King of Fighters R-1 and Samurai Shodown. Therefore, there are total 76 different games for the whole NGP library. (The same game with Monochrome and Color versions count as one game)
@@pedrogabriel3158 na not for me not a train fan TBH was thinking more outrun or super hang on style really wish someone would bring these games in the community
Man this is really a fanservice console isnt it 😂 Lovely 8bit titles of the big franchises there, its very sad that it was not more sucessful. It would be awesome to see maybe a better 8bit strider there or more shmups.
I’m surprised that there are no Konami properties on this handheld device just like the Sega Game Gear. I would have liked to see a Gradius or a Tokimeki game on this device.
Maybe I'm wrong, but did the NeoGeo Pocket not have any specialized hardware in scaling sprites? but I'm seeing a lot of scaling effect in many games, I know that the Megadrive is more powerful but even for programming it is difficult and the Pocket makes it easier
If for you that is a top up quality. .. I think it was just an ordinary machine, came out to set the ground for the miserable future of the coin op gaming... awfull hand held ever
Surely some smart programmer out there could make a driving game similar to the way people who still to this day make games for the Atari 2600 and Dreamcast
it was so much more charming than the gb, the gba is another thing entirely, but this console had it's own thing going on. I wish it had a bigger library, they really knew how to make the fighting games just as fun as the arcade version, and with only 2 buttons.
This handheld for me will always be better than the Gameboy for 100% subjective reasons. This handheld made my not so pleasant environment good. It made my childhood!
My personal favorites on this system are mainly the fighting games (Last Blade on this thing is cool as hell), but some of the third party stuff needs highlights more :D
pretty sure I saw Faselei! on sale in North America in Chicago around '02. Maybe not official release, but I always assumed it was because I saw it at a store and didn't seem like japanese packaging. This was a better system than the GBA before they put the light in GBA SP. At least you could see the screen. Small window after it launched and before GBA SP where this was the best handheld gaming you could get.
The reason i think there are so many slot games is because near the end of the consoles life aruze bought snk and they are a slot and pachinko machine manufacturing company, so its likly that they just made them because of that
I think there is enough to make a 3rd volume of these games but dont expect anything from namco or sega. Or even taito. But if there is going to be a 3rd one there would have to be some translations on the part of snk for it to work. But after seeing what they did with the second one, dont hold your breath. Your best bet for getting some of these games is emulators with english patches. Or just get the physical games themselves. At leat there are 2 fighting games on the monochrome console samurai shodown!1 and king of fighters r1. Even though black and white, translated to english to began with. Also im sure that a gambling game or two, plus the train game whould work. So we are looking at maybe 5 or 6 there then there is the super real mahjong game might work. Now mind you these are just 6 or 7 games without translation that would work. If there were translations of some games there couls be the 2 visual novels. Then at that point you could throw the other baseball game or the horse racing game down to make it an even 10 or 11. But since they havent been translating shit i doubt it.
Owned one when they came out. It's still a weird handheld buying aes and mvs but pocket . I can only count 6 games if play on it the fighting games and cotton. Oh I had metal first mission then but it's supposed to be 16 bit right? It really seems close to a Gameboy color in my opinion. Sound effects remind me of Gameboy sonic was good on it that game did seem to be 16 bit and cotton but the fighting games not so much however it could be the sounds that reminds me of Gameboy
Amazing system for the time, it's too bad it was released when snk was in it's death throes. Had it had the proper support it could have usurped the gbc as handheld king
I have 40 games and counting. There is a surprising amount of good Japanese and UK titles. The Japanese games are of course hard to enjoy without knowing Japanese. I'm actually trying to learn it now. 😄
Apakah gamenya ringan, lebih ringan dari Nes atau ukuran gamenya sama kaya Sega dan Snes? Maaf saya bertanya pakai bahasa negara saya... Karena saya tidak bisa bahasa Inggris
I can't understand how can a company like SNK ( which is never liked as software house , but still it was very big ) released such an anachronistic machine, made worst by the SNK software, which was good only for very casual coin op lover already ( and the confirmation of what I'm saying, is the big ammount of "slot machines simulator's" which I found already more ordinary than my poor sight can afford... if i thought that "Game Gear" was an ordinary machine, here we are far more over the edge... I think " Atari Linx " it will keep the throne of better "colours hand held" in my opinion ( even if it failed too soon, but it has a solid rose of coin op conversions, and I still miss to play with )... P.S. even Gizmondo, it has a better and more tasty software
@@armyofninjas9055 because you think snk on Neo Geo pocket released decent games ??? tell me genius of my shoes, at least Gizmondo had some nice tried, Neo Geo Pocket, is the precursor of Arcade gambling ... if you want to discuss about hardware and software, you found good bread for your milky teeth kid
Well after watching that, for me this thing has possibly the worst library of games of any handheld. I mean there's only about 10 I would ever even want to try, and even they don't look amazing, for instance Metal slug looks really slow.
Metal slug pockets are awesome games, with personality, a lot of missions, story (not like an rpg) and if you complete mission 2, you don't go to 3, there are differents ways. check them on UA-cam, they are underrated has hell.
I disagree. The reason why there's a ngpc community is because of the high quality games made on it. Shame I don't know Japanese to enjoy the remaining games
@@jajabinx35 Well, there's a 'community' for the Watara Supervision......doesn't prove that the library of games is any good. I may have exaggerated, but unless you particularly like gambling and puzzle games you have to admit the library of games is pretty limited. Not 1 single driving/racing game for instance.
@@paulymc Agreed. This thing makes the Atari Lynx library seem vast and extensive. From my memory, the Wonderswan might be even more limited than this.

NGPC is super underrated. Great system to own if you enjoy fighting games. Also has a great battery life, just 2 AA batteries can go on for hours!
Wonderswan is king in this department, 40 hrs. on ONE AA.
Such a cool little system.
The amount of casino games is baffling.
It's because at the time snk was mixed up with slot machines for...reasons
Plus cheap and easy to make.

Sonic pocket adventure is only available on the ngpc
@@ParaboZarty Many games are only available on NGPC
As far as i know there 10 black and white games on the neo geo pocket. All of which can play on the neo geo pocket color
Better than Neogeo X.
Just like your Mom
Classic but rare. Makes me want to play some these today. LOL! Hope you're doing well and enjoying your 2019 so far. Stay retro.
Such an awfull machine, with such an ordinary software ( in my opinion obviously )... probably the worst hand held ever produced 😢
Enrico Mazzarello Sim Racing take this L for not understanding what’s so great about the Neo Geo Pocket Color.
@@dolladre70 not understanding whaaat ??? 😂😂😂 explain me mate
the award for worst handheld ever (hardware and software) goes to the switch

I always wanted one of these growing up, still do... Thx foe da upload this was an underrated console...
I've still got mine. .. shame there's not ONE SINGLE driving game ,would've been great to play outrun or chase hq
what about densha de go

Nice one. I remember when I used to own one of these.
Tem jogos interessantes, pra jogar em um PSP da vida é show de bola.

Lovely 8bit titles of the big franchises there, its very sad that it was not more sucessful. It would be awesome to see maybe a better 8bit strider there or more shmups.
Baseball Stars was by far the best baseball video game I ever played
I hope they include sonic pocket adventure, biomotor unitron, Faselei! and rockman battle & fighters in neo geo pocket selection volume 2.
Include in what?
Neo geo pocket color selection vol 2
Thank you so much for your work
I’m surprised that there are no Konami properties on this handheld device just like the Sega Game Gear. I would have liked to see a Gradius or a Tokimeki game on this device.
Thanks for making this!

Definitely more impressive than the game boy color, not drastically but noticeable.
There seriously needs to be a NGPC Mini. Or at the very least a collection of NGPC games on switch.
Edit: I GOT MY WISH! :D
your wish has been granted
@@pwnsy584 Finally!
Tablet Tablet Now we need a NeoGeo Pocket Color Selection Vol. 2 to happen.
Now we need vol. 3
I feel like all of those casino games could have just been one game.
Amazing handheld with absurdly large number of gambling titles

Neo Geo Pocket Color Selection Series!
Hi guys, Puzzle Link is the same game as Renketsu Puzzle Tsunagete Pon! Color.... so it's 73 games not 74
big motor unitron is the best game of all time
Fair to say there's a strong possibility that a lot of these games won't be ported to the Switch.
They should released the NGPC right on the start and not the B&W version. Things would be very different.
Plus, USA marketing just ruined it.
Probably wouldn't have made much difference. B&W versions was only released in Asian teritories anyway.
11:52 the Sega game on the neo geo pocket
normally a 16 bits console with 146 colors on screen, but games look really like 8 bit with 16 colors on screen .... a kinda gbc flavour
1:15
2:50
3:05
11:50
Will it run NGP games in colour though?
Or just in monochrome 🤔
cotton is the most expensive game for the pocket color.
Great colours
Why are there so many games that aren’t available in the US on this system. Also I never knew a Mega Man (Rock Man) game was released on this system
When this came it out it was so ahead of its time it made the Nintendo Color look outdated
I love that handle console
*Que emulador vc usou?*
Like a quarter of the library is gambling games! Such a shame for a cool console.
Pineapple!

Ça me rappelle mon enfance 😫😫😫
Cool looking hardware. Better form factor than the GBC. Lacking library unfortunately. What's up with all the Japanese gambling games?
NGPC had so much SOVL.
I think casinos are illegal in Japan, that's why there's always so many gambling games from there.
.... How many slot machine games can you make
Doing god's work!
I had no idea there were so many Casino/Slot machine games. Seems like a waste of money.
The reason i think there are so many slot games is because near the end of the consoles life aruze bought snk and they are a slot and pachinko machine manufacturing company, so its likly that they just made them because of that
