I Love My Neo-Geo Pocket Color!

[pakopako]

Shiny! But my curiosity won't be sated until I know what the US manual looks like.

[CD AGES]

Why the curiosity for the manual if I may ask?

[pakopako]

One, I'm a bit of a completion-ist. (A bit )

Two, I'm really into sketchwork and instruction booklets tend to have some choice works. (I'm not the least bit sketchy, oh no... )

[D.D.D.]

I dunno. I think all the overzealous excitement for the NGPC and it's glorious clicky-thumbstick built up a bit too much for me. I found a NGPC NIB; of course I nabbed it up for $10. Later I found SamSho2 and while I like it, I just don't think it lives up to the legend...
What games would y'all recommend if I'm not exactly bowled over by it already?

The Metal Slug games for your run n gun, Sonic for platforming, and Dark Arms for a Zelda like experience.

Add Match of the Millennium to that list - defining fighting game for the system. It has tag team battles! Even a PS1 couldn't handle that.

huh... I never thought it that way, what an amazing fact. Any who, SNK Vs. Capcom is truly a wonderful title on the good old Neo Handheld. A TON if Options, Modes, Depth and insane amounts of Replay Value that no one could ever have predicted. Also, having recently attained Gals Fighters, i can say that its another quality fighter that stands high in my recommendation list. It's so frick'n smooth, precise and entertaining. Last blade is another wonderful game to try out!

[alienjesus]

I would recommend Gals Fighters, that's the game on the system that really wowed me. Metal Slug 2nd Mission is another game I really enjoyed.

This. Every NGPC owner should own MotM; it is the greatest portable fighting game ever made, and maybe even one of the best fighting games ever made, period, depending on your tastes.

Neo Geo stuff is like that. If you're not huge into fighters, the pickings get slim quick. If you want something different, try Cardfighters Clash and Neo Turf Masters.
