NEOGEO POCKET COLOR SELECTION Vol. 1 Steam Edition Reviews

good

The only reason to buy this is to satisfy some curiosit. The games are not very playable.

came for the fighting games, stayed for super fun single player experiences. i'd recommend this even if you haven't dabbled with the neogeo pocket before. gals fighters is a genuine treat of a game, and the mini samsho is slowly becoming a personal favourite. big fan.

Bought it for the metal slug games, but I'm impressed in general honestly. When I was young I played Mario Tennis and Megaman extreme 1, and 2 for gbc and i guess that simplistic art style always stayed with me. Seeing that there's actually more great games with the same aesthetic is awesome! Something that i think is rather impressive about this collection is that it has same screen vs modes for most if not all the fighting games which is neat considering that you used to have to have two consoles with two games and a link cable. The same screen multiplayer, to the best of my knowledge, is the only way to play some of these neo geo pocket color games multiplayer in an emulator, so that's really cool! Now, i would never recommend this game for freak'n $40 USD, but for $6?!? heck ya man sign me up! The roms are just laying about in the game's folder so you can just throw 'em in retroarch or any emulator for your liking if the in game emulator ain't on par to your standards. Only thing I could ask for is to port Sonic Pocket Adventure in the same nature, rather stand alone or in a 3rd collection, but as for this collection heck ya man, wait for that sale and buy!

I can't recomend this collection. Why, well it's missing Snk Vs. Capcom this game is on the switch why is it not on here. We get Crush Roller what garbage game is this? Without Snk Vs. Capcom best Neo Geo Pocket game it's a hard pass.

This collection is cool, but there are some idiosyncrasies that are a little disappointing. For example: sometimes, the D-pad just doesn't work in-game. It works in the menus, but as soon as you start up one of the titles, it becomes unresponsive. The only ways I've been able to fix this are by restarting the game or disabling the display skin, losing the cool-looking Neo Geo Pocket visualization surrounding the game screen. I've had this happen to me on both my PS4 controller plugged in to my PC and on my Steam Deck. A sound plays when you're navigating through the main menu. It's very loud, but there are no sound settings to decrease the volume. When you start a game for the first time, [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHtnsnr1Jzs]this charming little Neo Geo Pocket[/url] animation plays. Unfortunately, after the first time you see it, you can't actually watch it again (technically, you can rewind on that first session to rewatch it, but that rewind is cleared after you exit out of the game). So, in practice, since there are ten games, you can only see the startup sequence ten times. It seems strange for the developers to set it up this way. The games themselves are good; there's actually a bit more depth to these titles than you might expect. It's just the frontend that's a bit weird.

A solid collection of good games. UI is sort of janky, overloud (and kind of gross/wet) menu sounds, inconsistent autopause/unpause when losing or regaining focus. Local multiplayer good to have.
