Dark Arms, Dive Alert: Becky's Version, Dive Alert: Matt's Version, Faselei!, and Evolution: Eternal Dungeons.

I don't believe that Faselei! or Evolution were released in the US but they have English European versions.

Also, Bio Motor Unitron is kinda like a strategy RPG I think. Part 2 is available only in Japan. There's also a Japanese-only Ogre Battle game.

Overall, a small library of solid titles.

I already planned on getting Dark Arms. Are the other RPGs you mentioned in English? And are there any action-RPGs? Or is it strictly JRPGs and strategy-RPGs?

From what I hear, Bio Motor Unitron is a pokemon type game with you building up a robot for battles and some dungeon crawling. I was going to look into it to pad out my NGPC library.

Biomotor Unitron is really something; a classic for the system. Sure, it's a knock off of Pokemon in a broader sense, but it does enough differently and does it so competently that it's really worth playing.

had kind of a rough day, but came home to my new NGPC system and have been relaxing with Bust-A-Move Pocket. I've gotta say, this game is so at home on this handheld. I've played my fair share of BAM/Puzzle Bobble in the past. But this little clicky dpad is so great for precise aiming. Loving it.

Sorry about the rough day d00d. BTW, I just spent some time with this on my friends NEO cab ... sooooo good. Been a while since I [layed me some Bust-a-Move.

yeah I'm addicted tonight. I don't remember ever getting so sucked into Puzzle Bobble. I guess it's kind of related to TR this month though, so that's a plus haha.

It seems more like Medabots than Poke'Mon to me.

I loved Puzzle Bobble Mini. Of course it's great because it's Puzzle Bobble, but it really fits on the Neo Geo Pocket. It'd work on any other mobile device for that matter. That mini joystick is great for more than just fighters.

I played through 29 levels last night -- almost always saying "OK, this will be the last level I play tonight..." and then right before bed I pulled out the manual to see if there was anything I didn't know that I should know. Apparently holding B makes the aimer thingy even more precise? :shock: :oops:
