What to Add to Neo-Geo Pocket 101?

[racketboy]

I'm going to update the NGP 101 guide a bit.
What should we add?

If you have full sentences or paragraphs to add, it would be very helpful

Thanks!

The notable games list is really lacking and portrays the NGPC's library as being more limited than it actually was. Games like Sonic Pocket, Faselei!, Biomotor, Megaman, etc. should warrant some consideration.

Sonic Pocket Adventure:

As part of the partnership between Sega and SNK, a Sonic game was produced for the system in 1999. Developed by Sonic Team and Dimps (a full 2 years before Sonic Advance), Sonic the Hedgehog Pocket Adventure is essentially a re-telling of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 with elements of Sonic CD and Sonic 3 sprinkled in with the final result being Sonic's first true game on a non-Sega platform.

Rockman: Battle and Fighters:

Rockman: Battle and Fighters is a Neo Geo Pocket Color remix of Rockman The Power Battle, an arcade game created by Capcom in 1995. The game is essentially a Mega Man game without the levels. You choose your character (Rockman, Forte, or Blues) and proceed through a boss rush that is one part Street Fighter, one part Megaman. Rockman: Battle and Fighters borrows elements from the two arcade games and art assets from the original NES titles. This game is fairly hard to come by and collectors should expect to pay handsomely for this import title.

Rockman: Battle and Fighters

I had no idea!

Looks neat.
I have the ps2 versions
They´re OK games, but probably better reserved for Rockman veterans.

Definitely. But as far as retro collecting goes, Rockman Battle and Fighters is pretty much a holy grail for the NGPC. I have only tried to get it for myself once and it did not go well.

Definitely agree, especially the bold ones.

There are some NGPC colors not covered in the article such as Crystal [transparent], Camo, and a Hanshin Tigers Limited Edition Version.

There is also a slim version of the Neo Geo Pocket Color. Here is a video detailing the differences between the two versions. Bit of warning: You might want to keep the video on mute until the guy gets the ruler out. He moves the camera around a bit and creates a lot of noise.

I've only found the console in two colors:
Crystal Yellow

Crystal Turquoise

Wow... I remembered the NGPC 101 page to be a little... fuller.

I'll have to help correct that.

Do you want to collaborate on the writing additions?

if some one already has the original Neo Geo Pocket color is it worth it to get the slim for the price they go for this days? What are the differences between the two?

When I can see straight. Very much so.

Also, the Stick on the NGPC is nothing like the GP32. The GP32 was a plain dpad. The GP2X had a digital stick but it used contact points instead of microswitches and notoriously sucked.
