I managed to get myself a NeoGeo Pocket Color. As much as I generally lack enthusiasm for video game collecting these days, I make a small exception for handhelds as they take up less space and this system in particular is one that I have always been curious about ever since I skimmed through my older brother's video game magazines.

I know this thing has like less than 50 games released for it, but does anyone have any game recommendations? I have zero experience with SNK outside of Metal Slug, but I'm willing to try anything.

So I do have one game with this thing: Sonic Pocket Adventure, and after messing around with it, I do have to say that I'm not a fan of the analog stick. Sure it was ahead of it's time, but the clicking is way too noisy for me and I don't thing an analog stick should be used for 2D games.

I still feel like the WonderSwan is the superior system. Not only does it have more games, despite being Japan-only, but it has a lot more personality to it, while the NGPC feels like something only for SNK fans which isn't bad, but that company is talked about even less than Capcom, Namco, or Konami and those companies exclusively make software.

@xianc78 lol the crimes I would have committed to have one of these back in the day lol

@xianc78
I always wanted to try wonderswan, what's a good game to start with?

@sampler
If you are talking about the original B&W WonderSwan, I would say Gunpey. If it's the Color, then Judgement Silversword (it's the most expensive, but my Flash Cart (FlashMasta) had it preinstalled).

@xianc78 The port of Evolution is supposed to be less bad than the 3D Dreamcast version in some ways, oddly enough, but I haven't played the Neo Geo version personally. SNK Gals is also okay for a handheld fighter.
