SNK's Neo Geo Pocket Color Selection Vol.2 Announced For Switch

I can hardly stay in my seat reading this! Woohoo!!

Come oooooooon Volume 3.

Nice! I trust there’ll be another physical release as well.

Hmm that’s not megaman legends 3, every time I see megaman I get excited and think wow i hope we got a new game but instead it always turns out to be another collection or some nonsense

Are the pocket color games actually good? I mean the people above seem to be excited for them but I don't know if I would want to purchase them.

Probably would have grabbed the LRG physical of the first collection if I'd realized it'd literally never go down in price digitally for sales.

The way they have Capcom characters with SNK characters in that artwork. I really believe a Capcom vs SNK 3 will happen eventually.

@shonenjump86 It's probably just Card Fighter Clash. No Sonic among the bunch means we probably won't get Sonic Pocket Adventure in the collection.

Oh, nice. Was hoping they would release a volume 2

They've gotta be aware of the demand for Sonic right? I hope we'll see it at some point, but since he's not on this artwork, he's likely not in at all.

The cover art confirms the data mine back in May that Ganbare Neo Poke Kun (little dude in the back center), KoF Battle De Paradise (Kyo holding dice) and Puzzle Link (girls in the back), Pocket Tennis, Baseball and
NEO Geo Cup are all in.

No indication of Falselei! though, maybe they couldn't secure the rights?

Battle de paradise and Neo Pole Kun were japanese only games never released in English. So it will be interesting to see if they get a translation or not.

@durrdev going off of the megaman fighting game, signs point to no

Just waiting for the inevitable physical release.

@ZapNCrap I had them on my modded OG Xbox. I believe it was a complete set including the greyscale games. Out of the small library of games there’s a couple Metal Slug games, a Sonic game, a few sports and puzzle games, and the rest all seem to be fighting games. Including the mega man game.

I know people liked the system back when it was competing with the game boy and in that context the games were probably impressive and fun to play on the go. But they are mostly fighting games which don’t interest me much.

@Ralizah I’m in the same boat! Maybe the release of volume 2 will come along with a digital sale of volume one finally. I think I’ll get the physical of volume 2 mainly for the definitive version of card fighters (which I already have digitally, of course)

Wow… Mega Man is taking a prominent position in that teaser image.

@Nermannn That would be ideal. At this point, I'm pretty much just holding off on buying the collection out of stubbornness. Even a modest sale would justify a purchase.

Good job I own the originals and I can rip these to the steam deck. Saves me buying all of these again, although I'm not sure how these fair compared with today's games

This is great news! I enjoyed the heck out of the first one, can’t wait to see what this one is like.

I love snk, I would definitely pick up a few arcade collections, I never really played any of the pocket collection stuff, so I probably won’t be picking any of these up. But they look good.

If Sega was smart, they would have figured by now to tie their Sonic Frontiers game release with a promotional release of the Sonic game for the Neo Geo Pocket Color.

Bet it has no local wireless multiplayer. Ts

Physical release or it didn't happen.

@Cipher36 The first game got a physical release so I don't see why this wouldn't.

@GetterImpact
I know, that's what I was saying. I bought a lot of the games that ended up turning into volume one, and then bought the physical release. I got one or two of the ones that will end up on the second volume and told myself to not buy anymore digitally as I know when I see it physical I'll pick it up. Hence, physical or it didn't happen. I have a bad tendancy of buying them digitally and then physically on most things. Companies know the double dip happen so they hold off on physical releases.

I just want it cause I have the first, which had a better selection imo.

I have the first collection and Card Fighters' Clash, Don't think there's anything here to really entice me to pick up this collection too.

I was thinking about getting the physical copy for Mega Man and because I have the first volume on my shelf, but Mega Man is really the only game in this one that interests me... guess I'll just get it separately digitally.

I wasn't particularly interested in Volume 1, but I'll probably grab this for the Capcom vs. SNK card game and Mega Man.

@NotArmani I was thinking the same thing. And a physical announced on day one.

@Ralizah You can pick up volume one and two on LRG right now.

Wow SNK really surprise me here. Whereas the first collection had too many fighting games, this one had no fighting games at all. A Mega Man boss rush collection, a KOF party board game, a card game, some sports games, a wrestling game, and a puzzle game. I'll probably skipped this one though as the only game I like on this collection I already got downloaded anyways.

Japanese physical version releases March 2nd. I'll be getting that one, as I did with the first.

If I can get physical copy the yeap😊
If not then no I'm so sick of dowoading games!

It would have been nice if soinc was on the collection

Sonic Pocket Adventure when?

@NicolausCamp where did you order the Japanese edition of Vol. 1? I don't see preorders for Vol. 2 on Play-Asia yet.

@CharlieGirl I ordered volume 1, the Japanese copy, from Play-Asia

The second volume isn't up for preorder yet, but should be soon I guess.
EDIT: Volume 2 is live as well now!

@ZapNCrap the best way to describe neogeo pocket color games is charming. They have a very distinct almost upgraded GBC look. I really enjoyed playing sonic on the system and it looks perfect on a system like the trimui. My only concern is how it would look on the switch screen blown up.

@CharlieGirl limited run just listed volume 2 plus a small amount of Volume 1 regular and colllector’s editions if anyone missed out!

Vol. 1 is still deep in the bowels of the wishlist tbh.

A lot of fighting games in the first collection, and a lot of sports games in this one.

Well, at least we can assume there won't be another collection with many pachislot games? (probably made because, wasn't SNK bought out by a pachislot company at that time?)

Puzzle Link 2 is a fantastic game.
