At last a more than decent port of SNK's games! I love KOF R-1 & 2 and Match of the Millenium. I even have more fun playing MOTM than CvS2 on PS2! I love the micro switch stick and Shermie is in there!
This console is so refreshing.
I have ordered KOF EX for GBA for collection's sake, but it is not so much fun as its NGP counterparts.
What a shame this console wasn't successful. And a shame I didn't buy it earlier.

Match of the Millenium kicks uber-@$$, and is the undisputed king of hand held fighters. While I don't think it's quite as good as CvS2 (just my opinion, although it's darn close...almost to the point where I'd call them equal), it's reason enough to own a NGPC.

I was pissed off when I found out that Billy and Vega weren't playable, though. Still am, actually. WHY SNK? YOU HAD THE SPRITES AND EVERYTHING!!!

Useless but true fact: Hitler only had one testicle. When you think about it

that explains a lot...

I still remember seeing an NGPC at the mall,and I saw the SvC:MOTM game there! I could've kicked myself for not having the money back then to buy one.

I would love to play SvC and SvC2,Card Fighters Clash!

Those look awesome!

Don't forget to get as many master medals as you can in Olympic Mode, but remember to always check in on the silly conversations you can have with Karin and Rimururu. My favorite is when Rimururu says "How can I become as strong as Nakoruru?" and you have two choices: "1) SECLUSION 2) BEAR WRESTLING" Hilarious stuff. I've gotten to the point where they're telling me their measurements, LOL

By the way, what happens when you put MotM into a Neo Geo Pocket (the B/W one)? Does anyone know?

there are few B/W screens with other characters, especially one that still puzzles me now : Kaede (Gekka) and Lilith play the game, and Kaede cries "why aren't we in that game?" and Lilith says "don't worry, we'll be in the sequel..."
Damn... what a pity the NGP died so fast...

I had to buy mine second hand, and it cost me 50€. I bought it in a Japanese video games shop in France. As for the games, the cheapest way I found was to enter a NGP fans community and buy them there.
I have just received Card Fighter Clash 2 this morning! It's a little difficult to understand the action/reaction cards effects because of the Japanese, but other than that it is a superb game.
I had to buy a new lithium battery otherwise I could not save the MOTM data. Now I can enjoy it to the full. Mind you, now matter how technically superior MOTM is compared to KOF R's, yet I have as much fun playing them. One last thing: I think KOF R1 is a little bit more difficult (hence more interesting) than R2, plus Kim & Chizuru are in it. So it shouldn't be regarded as a paler (although it is B&W!) version of R2.

I've had my share of fun on the NGPC, myself. SvC is definitely the best game on the portable, and I have to agree it's the best portable fighter... period. Tons of secrets and extras to get made it all the worthwhile. Some of the mini-games were way too hard for me... like the Metal Slug shooter and the Ghouls N' Ghosts jump game. I could never get better than Silver in those two... no matter how hard I tried.

Card Fighters was really cool as well, although I really wish I got Card Fighters 2. Was the sequel translated to English? I never got a chance to find out... unfortunately.

I can imagine a port remotely close to SNK Vs. Capcom for GBA would sell up the wazoo. Seriously... that fighter is definitely underrated. In all, NGPC was definitely a great portable to own. Hope you enjoy it.

It's CFC2 that I own, it only omes in Japanese, and has no ingame English translation. But it's easy to understand, especially if you have played the 1st, which I haven't. To find it, you need to hunt down ebay. As I said, it's someone from a friendly French fans community that sold it to me, brand new, for a cheap price. But I saw it on ebay France a number of times, though a bit expensive. The game is reported to be very long (+70hours to finish) as opposed to the first episodes.
I have just won another auction, including both Metal Slugs on ebay UK. It takes patience to get those games, and money too, for the rates have been dramatically increasing since SNK's death. My advice is: try auction sites worldwide and check NGPC fans forums, which more often than not include a trade or sale section. Hope that helps.

The the card fighters sequel was translated, but by fans...so there's a hacked rom around.

NGPC is perhaps my favorite handheld...I've got 15 or so games for the thing, and with the prices how they are it's still worth picking one up!!!

70+ hours? I'm not sure about that... unless you're talking about getting all the cards, which I think is MUCH MORE than 70 hours, especially if you want to find all the backups combos and S cards. Completing the actual game is more like 10-15 hours.
Enjoy the game, it's great.

I can't get Domination card! ARRGH!

Damn you, I think I've lost all my Big, Bison and Balrog cards in the trade machines trying to get Domination, how the hell did you get it? I think the FAQ is wrong...

Hehe, Lucifer. Well at least I have something you don't.

I like the NGPC a lot, too. Capcom Vs Snk is the only game I have played on the real console and it's great.

I like th mini stick, even though it's kinda noisy. Feels confortable for me.

I know only one store in here that has the NGPC for sale. They want about 70 bucks for it, with no games included. Quite expensive, but it's pretty much the only place in the city to get one.

I was about to buy it, but then I found somebody selling an Atari Lynx (with 5 games and stuff) and bought it instead. Perhaps next month...

It occurs to me that an awful lot of trouble in Gotham City could have been averted a long time ago if Batman had just ripped the Joker's nipples off.

A man with the nipples ripped off him does not make the same mistakes twice.

I mean crime in Gotham City doesn't exactly seem to be affected by a man dressed as a bat flapping around the place. But no-one disobeys a man wearing a necklace of human nipples.

"I'm Batman" isn't cutting it in the striking-fear-into-their-hearts stakes. But "I'm Batman -- and I'm here for your nipples" is an entirely different proposition.

The FAQ was updated again last month, I didn't know that so I had an older version lying around. Crap. So I needed Krizalid too, no wonder...

Sometimes I wish I hadn't bought the game way back at launch, then I wouldn't have so much trouble finding stuff -_-;;
