Just got this in the mail. Holy shit, is it smaller than expected, but that digital stick is absolutely god tier. I knew what I was expecting, and yet the stick surprassed my expectations.

Don't have any games yet, but according to /vg/ last week this is the list I've come up with of must-own games:
Faselei!
Fatal Fury: First Contact
Magical Drop Pocket
Rockman Battle Fighters
SNK vs. Capcom Card Fighters Clash
SNK vs. Capcom: The Match of the Millennium
Sonic the Hedgehog Pocket Adventure

Also, I realize the Crystal Blue appears more green, but wanted to know why that is. Is it because the ABS plastic yellowed over time, giving it a more green color than blue, or was it always that color?

Rockman Battle & Fighters is definitely not must-own, unless you just like Megaman.

Everything else on your list is awesome. Be sure to also get Ganbare Neo Poke-kun. You may not enjoy it until you're fully indoctrinated into NGP but it'll give you feels once you are.

Welcome to the NGPC master race. Yeah, the stick is really good, everyone should try it once. Aside from the great games it really makes the NGPC the little handheld that could.

B&W NGP is even smaller.

Wonderswan is even smaller still (about the size of a Genesis cartridge.)

Are you kidding me? Damn. I thought it was bigger.

In any case, I just bought Match of the Millennium as my first NGP game. What am I in for?
My favorite portable fighter so far is MMPR for the Game Gear.

I got a NGPC when I was like 10 on Yahoo (lol) but still after it failed and played it way more than my GBA. Then got really stoked when EB Games started selling games for it to clear out stock.

Your list is good. I really liked the Metal Slug game and the Mech RPG (though I don't know how well it stood the test of time).

Match of The Millennium is best tier...Also liked to Samurai Showdown a lot.

Also my good friend and his brother had two... with a link cable...
RIP friend ;(

Enjoy!

A fuck fucking time.
Its a great fighter without even taking in to consideration that it's on a handheld.

If you like fighters, the NGPC is just a fun little system.

Is it? I never noticed. I didn't even realize a few of my NGPC were slims until I read that they made a smaller version.

A little smaller, and runs on AAA cells.

Had no idea there was a slim model. Or maybe I did and I completely forgot. This black one is the only I ever had and I need to replace it. Whacked it a few too many times for insubordination an now it sometimes spontaneously resets.

Turns out it's a little bigger than a Genesis game. maybe a half inch longer, but about the same thickness. B&W WS turns out to be about the same size as the B&W NGP. But about 2/3 thickness. Note NGP underneath the orange WS in the pic.

Since I'm a pleb, is the WonderSwan English-friendly? Was always interested in one but didn't know if any of the games were in English since it never existed in the West.

Not him, but not really, there are a bunch of arcadey games that don´t require any moon. But most games are text heavy.

Fudge. Maybe I'll recheck the WS list I had saved and see if most are non-moonrunes. If so, I may get one, but I'm in no rush.
The Neo Geo pocket was the last non-Nintendo/Sega/Sony handheld I wanted to try, and now I have one. I should probably spend some time acquiring games for it and playing them before committing to another handheld.

you pretty much have to do a frontlight mod or play it in sunlight. I was playing mine with lamp light but the glare was annoying.

Pretty much like any other Japanese game you've encountered. RPGs and most non-action oriented game will be fully in Japanese. Others will often have English menus, or isn't so complex that you can't figure things out yourself.
