Neo Geo Pocket

From Free net encyclopedia

For the system with the same name featuring color vision, see Neo-Geo Pocket Color

Template:CVG system The Neo Geo Pocket was SNK's original hand held system. It was released in Japan in late 1998, and discontinued in 1999, with the advent of the Neo Geo Pocket Color, due to lower than expected sales with the Monochrome Neo Geo Pocket.

The system was only released within the Japanese and Hong Kong market. Even though it had a short life, there were some significant games released on the system such as Samurai Shodown, and King of Fighters R-1.

The Neo Geo Pocket can play many of the newer color games. There are, however, notable exceptions such as Sonic the Hedgehog Pocket Adventure or SNK vs. Capcom: Match Of The Millennium. The newer Neo Geo Pocket Color is fully backwards compatible, so it plays all Neo Geo Pocket cartridges.
