TOOL · May 5, 2001

Im purchasing one and i want to know what games i should buy.

HIDDEN WARRIOR · May 5, 2001

All of them,duh

cox_xoc · May 5, 2001

Slice, get:

SNK vs CAPCOM
SS2
LB2
Both Metal Slug games

I figure anybody will love those games for sure... so you wouldn't have to think twice before purchasing those. My favorite game on the pocket currently is Ganbare Neopoke Kun... I dont know if the game would fit most people's taste though.

-Biomotor Unitron
-SNK vs Capcom Match of the Millenium
-Metal Slug 2
-Samurai Shodown 2

I don't got Ganbare Neo Poke Kun, but I know it is a weard game with many mini games in it. Everywhere I look its out of stock

Add Card Fighters Clash and Magical Drop to what everyone else said! Those 2 have to be the most addicting games for the system.

GregN · May 6, 2001

SNK vs Capcom : Match of the Millenium
Card Fighters Clash
Magical Drop pocket
Faselei (if you can find it)

Rain · May 6, 2001

Sonic! Can't believe no-one mentioned him yet.... Sonic Pocket Adventure is really cool.......

cox_xoc · May 6, 2001

Slice, it would take me too long to really explain the game. So, check out this faq! It does a pretty good job and also shows you how many things are really in the game.

Metal Slug · May 6, 2001

Ganbare is great, It's basically a V.Pet with 30 sub games based on classic arcade machines. Everthing from Galaxian, Shinobi, Star wars arcade and many more. All twisted with a little humour! Genius! If you can get it, then do!
As for normal games, not already mentioned, try Turf masters or Dark arms>

Metal Slug..

Gaijin Thunder Liger · May 7, 2001

I don't know about anyone else on these boards but I'm really digging, "Dive Alert" It's pretty cool. Currently, I'm playing the "Becky Version"

The story itself is a cross between, "Waterworld", "Area 88" and "Starblazers"

Becky is one of the last surviving humans on Earth. Her only companion on her mission is her computer AI system (Which you can pick at the start of the game) Her goal is to gather enough android kills to get into the promised land.

The gameplay is a little slow, but I recomend it highly

Taiso · May 7, 2001

My picks would be:

SNK vs. Capcom: Match Of The Millenium
SNK vs. Capcom: Card Fighters' Clash
Last Blade (England version)
Faselei (England version)
Samurai Shodown 2
King Of Fighters R1
King Of Fighters R2
Magical Drop Pocket
Pac-Man

Helly Original Colapunks · May 7, 2001

I can recommand the following games :
- Match of the Millenium
- Dynamite Slugger
- Card Fighter's Clash
- Metal Slug 2nd Mission
- Crush Roller
- Rockman : The Power Battle

Games to avoid :
- Faselei! (yes I know many of you love it)
- Dive Alert

Helly
- All the Dyna Casinogames

Why England versions?

Because, since these titles does not support Eng language. I don't have the LB so I can't be too sure. But I do know that Gals Fighter for Jap does not have Eng options--I guess it's to cut the cost down--so Jap ver. of LB probably does not not have Eng options either. Feel free to correct me in that.

My favs would be:

-Card Fighters Clash (both ver. if you can spare the cash)
-Magical Drop
-SNK vs Capcom
-MS 1 & 2
-Magical Drop
-KOF R 1 & 2
-Ogre Battle (If you are good in Jap, pick up a copy. Beats Faseli and rest of the RPGs hands down in my opinion)

Truth to tell, most NGCP games are fairly decent--I didn't much like the Casino games (like Neo 21, or what not) nor Pachinko games, though.

Taiso · May 7, 2001

Master Terry:

You are correct. Gals Fighters, Faselei and Last Blade do not play in english if you get the Japanese versions, even if your neo pocket is set to work in english mode. Last Blade and Faselei only came out in english in the UK, I believe. There IS a domestic US version of Gals Fighters out there, but I don't think it came out in very high quantities.

Taiso,

You are right on both accounts.

Liquid Snake · May 8, 2001

not so many ngpc game out there lately
get GBA..........

Maneki-Neko · May 9, 2001

You should purchase all of them, they are on fire !!!!!. :eek:

Liquid Snake · May 9, 2001

he's broke already and you want him to buy all NGPC collection? He'll probably sell everything he has and stands in the corner of street holding a sign saying "Work for Neo Geo".

Dolphin · May 9, 2001

Everyone who posted in this thread seems to have most of the "essentials" covered, but I couldn't help but notice that one of my favorites for the system has went unmentioned. If you're a die-hard shooter aficionado such as myself, be sure and grab "Cotton: Fantastic night Dreams". It's the systems only "true" horizontally scrolling shooter, and not a bad one at that. Since Cotton didn't receive a domestic "US" release, expect it to be a bit more difficult to pin down than some of the more typical NGPC titles.

Helly Original Colapunks · May 10, 2001

I think shooters aren't really great on a handheld. It's to frustrating to try to avoid the bullets on such a small screen. It's the same problem with all shooters on handhelds.

I don't think its frustrating, first the Metal Slugs on the NGPC have (allot) less enemies than the origional Metal Slugs on the Home system, which makes it easier to follow the movements on the screen. The only game which I had some problems with was sonic. Sometimes when you pick up the special run shoes you go so fast that its hard to keep up with. All in all SNK did a good work <IMG SRC="smilies/glee.gif" border="0">

I have Cotton while it released on PC Engine SCD. I can't get into that game so I know I'll not buy NGPC version........:<

Nakoruru · May 10, 2001

Ok here are the 5 games that every ngpc owner should have:

1. Card fighters clash
2. Snk vs Capcom (MOTM)
3. Metal Slug 2nd mission
4. Faselei!
5. Cotton

Card fighters clash is the most addictive handheld game ive ever played. Its even better when u hook up with another player <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0"> Snk vs Capcom is the best fighter ever for a handheld and when linked up with the dreamcast provides countless hours of fun. Metal slug 2nd mission plays true to the series and even includes speech! ("heavy machine gun!") Faselei is the best and one of the few RPG's on the NGPC, yet the english version is rare <IMG SRC="smilies/frown.gif" border="0"> As for cotton it is a very enjoyable shooter with decent graphics and brings back the nostalgia.
