I will cover this news, even though they did not include Leona in the promotional photo. Harumph.

SNK launched Neo Geo Pocket Color Selection Vol. 1 on the Nintendo Switch. The retro compilation is now available for download on the Nintendo eShop for around $ 40, which is less than these titles would cost if you took them today in their original form.

The compilation brings together great SNK titles, excellent, but ill-fated, portable, from the early 2000s. Included in the package are those previously released Samurai Shodown! two, King of Fighters R-2, SNK Gals Fighters, Fatal Fury: First Contact, The last blade: beyond fate, and the bright SNK vs Capcom: departure of the millennium. The novelty in this compilation is the friendly golf simulators Big Tournament Golf, RPG Dark Arms: Beast Buster, and both Metal Slug: 1st Mission and Metal Slug: 2nd Mission.

Neo Geo Pocket Color Selection Vol. 1 includes 3D models of the original of each game packaging and cartridge, and players also have the option of displaying the Neo Geo Pocket titles in their original monochromatic visuals. I am very happy to see all these games archived for future generations, given the increasing rarity of some of the releases.

Although the NGPC console has certainly been overlooked and sub purchased at launch, it is encouraging to see these great games return for some deserved time in the spotlight. Good thing.
