Like an unexpected friend showing up at your house, SNK Playmore has announced a new NeoGeo portable system out of the blue. The last time SNK tried this they were met with lukewarm reception and little support for the Neo Geo Pocket / Pocket Color. The original NeoGeo Pocket brought us early GBA-like games in a GameBoy Color era with titles like Fatal Fury & King of Fighters receiving their own ports.
This new system shows a little promise: With 4.3" screen, two gigs of internal storage, room for a memory card (perhaps for games?) and also 20 classic NeoGeo games included. The games range from fighting game classics like World Heroes and KoF '94 to shooters like MAN-1975 and Metal Slug.
In these times where Nintendo & Sony are having difficulty due to cell phone & ipad games, is there really room for another portable system? Will this be an affordable alternative to other portables? Or is it just SNK Playmore trying to milk the SNKow for more milk?
For future reference, I do own two Neo Geo Pocket Colors >.>;
