Video Game Reviews of SNK NEOGEO Pocket Color Console in Platinum Silver

Customer Review: wow,just wow
Summary: 5 Stars

wow. this system is so cool. with a growing variety of games, and a nice portable size, you can take it anywhere. You'lle love the translucent colors too.It should be the competitor with game boy color in a few years once it gets popular. lots of sports and fighting games, and quite a few arcade games (pac-man!!). it also has an awesome screen in the beginning when there is no game in. you can use calendar, horoscope, alarm, and more. But this, and not only will you be satisfied with the results, you will be kinda like the new kid on the block that everyone oo's and aa's about. SWEET!

Description of SNK NEOGEO Pocket Color Console in Platinum Silver

Look out, Game Boy Color. When it comes to serious portable gameplay, there's finally some legitimate competition for the popular Nintendo system (which has sold over 80 million units). If you dare to be different, consider the NEOGEO Pocket Color, a hand-held system created by the Japanese company SNK.

The screen is 10 percent bigger than Game Boy's, but the overall machine has roughly the same convenient pocket-sized dimensions and light weight as the Game Boy. The NEOGEO Pocket Color provides up to 40 hours of continuous fun on just two AA batteries. The 16-bit graphics are crystal clear--making it easy to tell the difference between humans and animals, friends and foes, and walls and doors--and easily viewed in both bright and dim lighting. The color palette has three times the range of its competitor's, with 146 possible shades. There is also a built-in calendar, daily horoscope, alarm clock, and global clock that can be accessed even without a game cartridge in the slot. Two players can go head-to-head with a simple cable connection (sold separately). NEOGEO is available in six different casing colors: silver, clear, blue, ocean blue, stone blue, and anthracite.

The only drawback is that NEOGEO is new and, therefore, playing catch-up to Nintendo's well-stocked list of titles, which boasts A-list offerings such as Super Mario Brothers, Pok?mon Pinball, and Tetris. But SNK scores points for the few titles that it does offer for the system. Among the better titles for NEOGEO are Dragons Wild video poker, arcade classics Bust-A-Move and Pac-Man, and your basic serve-and-volley Pocket Tennis. Most of these games are pretty addictive and perfectly suited to the well-designed, thumb-friendly, eight-position joystick. --Carrie Bell

Pros:

  • Better graphics than other portable players
  • Very good visibility in bright sun and dim light
  • Variety of fun colors
Cons:
  • No Pok?mon titles yet
  • Response of the joystick isn't the best on games (such as Crush Roller) that require sharp, quick turns
