Neo Geo Pocket Review

Brief Description:

The Neo Geo Pocket was SNKs first ultra-portable (hand-held) console, released in 1998. It was only released in Japan. There is another version of this console called the Neo Geo Pocket Colour.

The Positive Points:

-It was the very first hand-held to have a joystick.

The Negative Points:

-No D-pad.

-Less than 100 games were ever released for the console, including the Neo Geo Pocket Colour. None of the games were that noteworthy either.

-It was more problematic than most other cartridge-using consoles, where the cartridge's data would sometimes be lost if not used very carefully, and in some cases the console would even freeze, or become corrupted.

Innovative: Yes

Affordability At It's Release (affordability for it's time): Cheap

General Public Rating: It's hard to say, I don't see or hear a lot of comments about it

Success: A Little Unsuccessful

My Personal Final Rating: OK (3/6)
