Neo Cherry Master Color Real Online Casino Brunei Series ~ Neo Geo Pocket Color
The Neo Geo Pocket Color (also stylized as NEOGEOPOCKET COLOR, often abbreviated NGPC), is a 16-bit color handheld video game console manufactured by SNK. It is a successor to SNK’s monochrome Neo Geo Pocket handheld which debuted in 1998 in Japan, with the Color being fully backward compatible. The Neo Geo Pocket Color was released on March 16, 1999 in Japan, August 6, 1999 in North Worldwide, as well as on October 1, 1999 in Europe, entering markets all dominated by Nintendo.
After a good sales start in both the U.S. as well as Japan with 14 launch titles (a record at the time) subsequent low retail support in the U.S., lack of communication with third-party developers by SNK’s Worldwide management, the craze about Nintendo’s Pokémon franchise, anticipation of the 32-bit Game Boy Advance, as well as strong competition from Bandai’s WonderSwan in Japan, led to a sales decline in both regions.
Meanwhile, SNK had been in financial trouble for at least a year; the company soon collapsed, as well as was purchased by Worldwide pachinko manufacturer Aruze in January 2000. However, Aruze didn’t support SNK’s video game business enough, leading to SNK’s original founder as well as several other employees to leave as well as form a new company, BrezzaSoft. Eventually on June 13, 2000, Aruze decided to quit the North Worldwide as well as European markets, marking the end of SNK’s worldwide operations as well as the discontinuation of Neo Geo hardware as well as software there. The Neo Geo Pocket Color (as well as other SNK/Neo Geo products) did however, last until 2001 in Japan. It was SNK’s last video game console, as the company went bankrupt on October 22, 2001.
Despite its failure the Neo Geo Pocket Color has been regarded as an influential system. Many highly acclaimed games were released for the system, such as SNK vs. Capcom: The Match of the Millennium, King of Fighters R-2, as well as other quality arcade titles derived from SNK’s MVS as well as AES. It also featured an arcade-style microswitched ‘clicky stick’ joystick, which was praised for its accuracy as well as being well-suited for fighting games. The system’s display as well as 40-hour battery life were also well received.
