NEOGEO Pocket Color Selection Vol. 2 Review
Has this not been the year for reviving old games? Sheesh. Of course, what most of you believe is old started back in the mid-2000s. For us old fogies, it means the 90s and below. Anyway, the 90s have been revisited with the NEOGEO Pocket Color Selection Vol. 2 from SNK. It’s a good collection coming from a handheld system that was with us ever so briefly. If you don’t know much about the NEOGEO P...[Read More]

King of Fighters R2 Review
I have thoroughly enjoyed the re-releases of NEO GEO Pocket games on the Switch. They have reminded me that back in the day you sometimes could get the most out of a portable fighting game using just two buttons. They have also reminded me that the NEO GEO Pocket card games created for this system should be coming soon…if a deal is struck with Capcom. C’mon, SNK, make that happen. Anyway, today’s ...[Read More]
