Neo Geo Pocket Color Thread Anonymous Thu May 30 02:28:00 2013 No.740237 [Reply] [Original]

Picked up one of these bad boys today, and damn if I aren't impressed. This thing blows the Gameboy Color out of the water.

I bought a few games for it:

>Sonic Pocket Adventure
This blew me away. I've only played the first two zones, but so far it's basically a very competent port of Sonic 2. It plays tight, feels fast, and has great music. Really impressed.

>Neo Turf Masters
Bought this because I love the Neo Geo game. I figured this would be a crummy down-port, but I was wrong. It's basically the full game, minus the voices and one of the courses, and all the sprites are replaced with cutesy versions of the originals. It's adorable, and it plays really well. It's a tad bit slower than the full version, but it's a more than acceptable way to play the game. I'll be playing this a lot.

>Fatal Fury: 1st Contact
Not a huge Fatal Fury fan, but I picked this up because it was super cheap. It's pretty slow, but honestly it still plays pretty well. The fact that the NGPC only has two buttons obviously limits the combat, but the microswitch thumbstick still lets you pull off specials really easily. The sprites all look great, and you can tell who everybody is easily. Pretty easy though. Decent game.

What other NGPC games should I look out for?

tl;dr NGPC thread.

>Neo Turf Masters

Great game. I love the adorable versions of all the golfers. The attention to detail is great, I love how they recreated all the original reactions to getting a birdie or bogey or whatnot.

>>	Anonymous Thu May 30 02:44:29 2013 No.740313 >>740301 The fun to me was from seeing all my favorite characters in one game, the game's novelty is that it's a crossover You collect cards and build decks but the actual card game is very shallow with few possibilities and relies a lot on luck

>>	PKtora Thu May 30 02:55:59 2013 No.740361 >>740290 It's like yu-gi-oh, but with streetfighter, resident evil, final fight, rival schools, powerstone, king of fighters, samurai shodown, fatal fury, and metal slug characters as card summons.

>>	Anonymous Thu May 30 02:56:59 2013 No.740364 >>740361 I have no idea how Yu-Gi-Oh plays, but that's cool that it has references to all those games.

>>	Anonymous Thu May 30 02:58:00 2013 No.740374 >>740359 Adapter has a really tiny tip like the Game Boy. But like the Game Boy, the batteries last so long there's little point in getting an AC adapter.

>>	PKtora Thu May 30 02:58:29 2013 No.740370 >>740359 I believe the ac adapter for the pocket was proprietary, meaning they made adapters that worked only for the NGPC.

>>	Anonymous Thu May 30 02:59:29 2013 No.740378 Anyone know where I can get a NGPC link cable for a decent price? I'd like to play some multiplayer fightan on the go. Also are the Metal Slugs multiplayer?

I've read that there are to different NGP Color versions.
One with with "Color" printed cursive on it and one with block letters.

Apparently there only difference is the size. But what is the more comfortable one?
How do they compare to other handheld systems in size?

>>	Anonymous Thu May 30 12:55:48 2013 No.741886 I recommend Falsei (sp?) for turn based combat goodness, and Densha De Go! Pocket for train driving fun

>>	PKtora Thu May 30 13:14:48 2013 No.741943 >>740887 The one with cursive is the slim model, but they both feel about the same to me, comfort wise.

>>	Anonymous Thu May 30 13:17:48 2013 No.741950 >>741943 I never knew anything about a slim model. Interesting.

>>	PKtora Thu May 30 13:19:48 2013 No.741952 >>741950 Yeah, the slims were were see through. There's also a black and yellow striped one that gets it's colors from a japanese baseball team called the hanshin tigers.

>>	Anonymous Thu May 30 13:20:48 2013 No.741956 >>741952 Were those ever released in America?

>>	PKtora Thu May 30 13:22:18 2013 No.741961 >>741956 Nope, both were Japan exclusives. I think the crystal slim one came bundled with Samurai Shodown II.

>>	Anonymous Thu May 30 14:55:49 2013 No.742208 How are the Metal Slug games? They're moderately priced, and I don't want to buy them unless they're good.

>>	PKtora Thu May 30 15:01:49 2013 No.742238 >>742208 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3ngsvL451s The NGP versions of metal slug feel like a cutesy 8-bit incarnation, with stages that also feel somewhat larger.

>>	Anonymous Fri May 31 01:32:21 2013 No.744546 Anyone ever done a front-light mod?

>>	Anonymous Fri May 31 01:44:50 2013 No.744603 where can I buy the battery covers for one? Ebay shows a lot of lost ones

Second on Match of the Millenium. I only had two games for this system when I was a kid (Sonic Pokket Adventure being the other one), but man, that fighting game gave me hours on hours of entertainment. All of the sprites have silky smooth animation, and the super moves are as over the top as ever.

And controls are as close to proper arcade stick as you get on handheld. PSP or DS don't even get close and even current gen console controllers can't really compare.
>that feel when spamming reppuken in rapid succession in Fatal Fury F with Geese
Feels SNK, man.
