Where is this neo geo pocket from? The manual is in several languages with english as the first? The box is all in english. It doesn't look like anything like the normal jap ones.

Is it a usa or asian model or something else? How much is the machine worth compared to the normal jap ones?

Also is there only one silver pocket available for each of the b&w, color and slimline models?
I have seen the b&w it has a smaller case to the color. Is the b&w machine the same size as the slimline?

I think it shouldn't be more worth than any other Neo Geo Pocket, especially it's a B/W version, not even Colour (maybe I'm wrong -> any other opinions ?).

PEACE

That’s a US pocket, you could get them mail order direct from SNK USA before the full retail roll out of the colour version.

I think it is identical to the Asian release.

There is only one silver unit in each of the three body styles.

The Slimline is bigger that the B&W, the back of the unit is not flush with an inserted cartridge like on the original B&W pocket.
