I just recently got a used NGPC for 30 bucks with KOF R2 and Sonic Pocket Adventure. I know there's the Metal Slug games for it. Can anyone recommend any good games for it?

Besides what you already have (some of my choices), I'd recommend: Match of the Millenium, Neo Turf Masters, Fatal Fury: First Contact, Last Blade, Samurai Shodown 2, and Puzzle Bobble Mini.

CARD FIGHTERS CLASH!!!!

Best game(s) on the system. There are 2 versions of it, but its kind of like Pokemon, in that you only really need one version to enjoy it.

Other good titles:

Gal Fighters
Match of the Millenium
Metal Slug 2nd Mission
Metal Slug 1st Mission (not as good as 2nd though)

I hear Faselai!, Last Blade, Dark Arms and Biomotor Unitron were pretty cool, but I never played them.

Super Real Mahjong and Magical Drop.

B-
I don't know anything about Mahjong, but the magical drop version for NGPC left me a little empty, I mean the mechanincs are there, and that's cool!, but the game itself isnot colorfull enough, I mean look at bust-a-move, and compare.

All the puzzle games except for Bust-A-Move are very pale in colors, gameplay remains awsome though.


For me the best games in the NGPC, have to be the Card Fighters Series, both are awsome! after that here's a list.

SNK vs Capcom MOTM
Last Blade
Samurai Shodown 1 & 2
KOF R-1 & R-2
Fatal Fury 1st Contact
Gals Fighters
Metal Slug 1st & 2nd
Megaman Power Battles & Fighters (Looks like an NES game on Steroids!)
Neo Turf Masters
Cool Boarders
Cotton (Only flying shooter I have for the NGPC)
Pocket Tennis Color
Bust-A-Move
Pac-Man (Looks so amazing on scroll mode, and plays excellent with the addon)

There are so many more, but I think these are the best ones in no particular order, but if you ask me Fatal Fury 1st Contact is easy to find and plays like Real Bout without the lane switch (unfortunately), but is fantastic nonetheless.

the good to bad game ratio on the NGPC is better than any existing system, handheld or not, in my opinion. I mean, almost ANYTHING on that system is good.
If you like baseball, you'll like the baseball games.
If you like RPGs, you'll love FASELEI! and Biomotor Unitron and CFC
If you like fighters, you have a great library to choose from
I mean, it really is that great. Metal Slug 2nd Mission is ridiculously good and the graphics look early GBA. Kind of makes you wonder how much further that system could have been pushed.

MS1, MS2, CFC, MOTM and Turf Masters are the must have games.

Avoid Dive Alert like the plague, unless you like really, really ,really, slow and dull games.

I feel I must agree with my arch-nemesis:angry: . I played dive alert for a bit, but couldn't really get into it. You're safe going for any of the beat-em-ups. To be honest, so long as you avoid the japanese slot machine games, you'll probably be entertained by any NGPC game.

my favorites are Picture Puzzle and Ganbare Neo Poke-kun. Dark Arms and Shanghai Mini are pretty cool too...

I didn't care for the Metal Slugs, Crush Roller, Pocket Tennis or Card Fighters Clash for that matter. As Slugs go, I prefer the the AES/MVS versions. I couldn't get into CFC, but almost everyone swears by it, so it's probably worth checking out.

But yeah, other than the casino games, most of the NGPC games are good to really good. No Barbie Horse Adventures to be found...

This is pretty much true--I honestly can't think of a single *bad* game for the NGPC. Hell, I can't think of a mind-blowingly average title either. Most of the games are above average to really good, and then there's a couple "my sex fell out" good.

I ve not played them all but that s quite true, sadly snk lacked badly 3rd party, all sold to nintendo at the time and didn t want to risk anything. Wonderswan experienced that aswell.

Anyway, for the topic, You cannot go wrong with Slug 2nd mission or Puzzle Bobble :)

Match of the millenium was great too, and had a lot to unlock. I personaly loved Samurai Spirits too (can t remember which version i owned).

All the best ones have been mentioned, except Puzzle Link 2. A puzzler that will give you a complete workout.
