I fulfiled another one of my childhood dreams today by getting a Neo Geo Pocket Color. Which games should I get.

Obviously I'll be getting the fighting games, but was there anything else worthwhile on this thing? I've heard good things about Faselei, because it was apparently made by the Shadow Hearts people. And I guess Metal Slug is good purchase

Oh man! Good buy! I looooooooooooooooove mine. The games I have are mainly the fighters, but Bust-A-Move is awesome on it - I think the best portable version - and I have another puzzle title, Puzzle Link, that isn't bad if you can get it cheap enough. Sonic is good on it as well.

Anything really, there's heaps of geat stuff on it. The ratio of wheat to chaff is almost non-existent so it's a sure thing that whatever you acquire will be a quality product.

As far as the fighting games go, you should put emphasis on picking up SamSho 2. It's unbelievably innovative and interesting for a fighting game on such a relatively limited handheld platform. Especially a game that is based on a much more complex and pretty console game. Somehow it absolutely never disappoints.

So what colorway is your new acquisition? I have the green camo and the clear, myself. And somewhere a have a plain vanilla NeoGeo Pocket (non-color).

I like the card game with all the really neat portraits of capcom characters.

All I'm doing is reinforcing your choices here, but the Metal Slug games and Faselei are a lot of fun. You shouldn't expect Faselei to be anything like Shadow Hearts, though.

I didn't like the Neo Geo pocket Slugs, and I'm a huge fan of Metal Slug :|

Yeah, really. This thing is pretty much a portable Dreamcast.

Getting away from Fighters (Gals Fighters is the best on the system), Dark Arms is neat. You know all about Card Fighters Clash.

we're selling one of these for 150 fucking quid

Sonic isn't perfect but it has some awfully neat Sonic 3 chiptunes. The same team went on to make Sonic Advance which is sort of a really bad remake.
