I’m going to discuss this news, even though they did not include Leona in the promotional survey. Harumph.

SNK released Neo Geo Pocket Color Selection Vol. 1 on Nintendo Switch. The retro kit is now available for about $ 40 from the Nintendo eShop, which is less than what these titles would cost you if you were to pick it up in its original form today.

The compilation brings together great titles from SNK, but a bad handheld from the early 00s. Included in the package is the previously released Samurai Shodown! 2, King of Fighters R-2, SNK Gals’ Fighters, Fatal Fury: first contact, The Last Blade: Beyond the Destiny, and the brilliant SNK vs Capcom: Game of the Millennium. New in this composition is cute golf sim Big Golf Tournament, RPG Dark Arms: Beast Buster, and both Metal Slug: 1st Mission and Metal Slug: 2nd broadcast.

Neo Geo Pocket Color Selection Vol. 1 contains 3D models of the original of each game packaging and pattern, and players also have the option to display the Neo Geo Pocket titles with their original monochromatic footage. I am very glad that all these games have been archived for future generations, given the increasing scarcity of some versions.

While the NGPC console was definitely not played and too little bought during the launch, it is pleasing to see these amazing games return to the spotlight for some time. Good stuff.
