The Neo Geo Pocket was a black and white console release in 1998.

But Game Boy Color just appear and make it out of date. In 1999 SNK release the new color version Neo Geo Pocket Color

This console launch with 14 games which was a new record at that time. The screen and control thumb stick is very good and the SNK fighting games were all cute and made very well ♥️

But SNK have few problems at this time. The Neo Geo arcade console sale are slowing down and the new Hyper Neo Geo 64 is not do well with gamers. . And the Game Boy Color is very strong and hard to beat for hand held gaming.

In 2001 the Neo Geo Pocket color factory is closed. There were 73 games made for this console and most were made by SNK own teams.

After this SNK are now bankrupt and sold to American Pachinko machine company Aruze.

Today many people remember it was great hand held console! And enjoy it a lot ♥️ 😄
