Der "NeoGeo Pocket" Thread!!

keine Ahnung schrieb:

Here's a complete NGPC game list, separated by languages, excluding all
Mahjong, Hanafuda, and Pachislot titles. For now I also left off
Western-released casino titles. There were a bunch of casino titles
released here -- Slot machine games, Baccarat, 21, etc. All these games
could perhaps be added later, if I want to take the time. Not sure.



Separate US and EU/Japan releases, but the main title screen is the only difference, both are in English:


Bust-A-Move Pocket (US) / Puzzle Bobble Mini (EU/JP) - puzzle game



Games which were released in multiple regions and have only one version
of the game inside, so all languages are available in any version of the
game (sometimes in a menu option, often based on system language,
sometimes where they are just all the same because of the minimal amount
of text):


(Note that no B&W only games released in the US, and nor did the
B&W NGP system, but the NGP system and some B&W games were
available in limited release in Europe.)


Dark Arms - Beast Buster 1999 (JP title: Beast Busters: Yami no Seitai Heiki) - action-RPG
Samurai Shodown! (B&W only game) (JP/EU release only) (JP title: Samurai Spirits!) - fighting
Samurai Shodown! 2 (JP title: Samurai Spirits! 2) - fighting
Cool Boarders Pocket (JP/EU release only) - racing (though it's sort of platformer-esque, really)
Crush Roller - arcade action (port of a classic early '80s arcade game)
Puyo Pop (JP title: Puyo Puyo Tsuu) - puzzle
Fatal Fury F Contact (aka Fatal Fury First Contact; JP title: Garou Densetsu: First Contact) - fighting
King of Fighters R-1 (B&W only game) (JP/EU release only) - fighting
King of Fighters R-2 - fighting
Neo Turf Masters (JP title: Big Tournament Golf) - sports
NeoGeo Cup 98 Plus Color - sports
SNK Vs. Capcom: Match of the Millennium (JP title: SNK vs Capcom: Choujou Kessen Saikyou Fighters) - fighting
Pocket Tennis (B&W only game) (JP/EU release only) - sports
Pocket Tennis Color - sports
NeoGeo Cup 98 (B&W only game) (JP/EU release only) - sports
Baseball Stars Color - sports
Shanghai Mini - puzzle
Metal Slug - 1st Mission - action-platformer
Metal Slug - 2nd Mission - action-platformer
Sonic the Hedgehog: Pocket Adventure - platformer
Pac-Man - arcade action
Pocket Reversi (JP/EU release only) - board game



Games with separate releases for the Japanese and English language
versions - get the US/EU versions for English. Unless it is stated
otherwise, assume games came out in all three regions. The main way to
tell US and EU carts apart is that EU versions don't have ESRB ratings
on the carts, while US carts always will. All carts will work in any
system of course, though.:


Dive Alert (Matt and Becky versions) - action-sim-RPG game where you
control a submarine. The main thing different between the versions is
the main and sub characters' gender. Other differences are minor -
slight text differences, different sub hulls.
Cotton: Fantastic Night Dreams - shmup
Puzzle Link (JP: Renketsu Puzzle Tsunagete Pon! Color) - puzzle
Puzzle Link 2 (JP: Tsunagete Pon! 2) - puzzle
SNK Vs. Capcom: Card Fighters Clash, SNK and Capcom versions - card battle
Biomotor Unitron - RPG
Evolution - Eternal Dungeons (JP title: Shinkisekai Evolution:
Hateshinai Dungeon) - RPG. JP/EU only release. The European English
language release is very rare and fairly expensive.
Faselei! - strategy, US version has no box (later blister-pack release only)
Gals Fighters - fighting
Last Blade: Beyond the Destiny (JP title: Bakumatsu Roman Tokubetsu Ben:
Gekka no Kenshi - Tsuki ni Saku Hana, Chiri Yuku Hana) - fighting, US
version has no box (later blister-pack release only)
Magical Drop Pocket - puzzle
Picture Puzzle (JP title: Oekaki Puzzle) - Puzzle (Picross clone).
JP/EU only release, I'm pretty sure. English-language version is
uncommon but not expensive.



Japan only release, but the game has a full English option or is fully in English:


Delta Warp - puzzle game. 100% English, I'm pretty sure.
Baseball Stars - sports game. Game language depends on system language -
Japanese for Japanese system setting, English for English setting.
Big Bang Pro Wrestling - sports game. Game language depends on system
language - Japanese for Japanese system setting, English for English
setting.
Dynamite Slugger - sports game (baseball). Runs on the Baseball Stars
engine. Game language depends on system language - Japanese for
Japanese system setting, English for English setting.


Wrestling Madness - leaked beta rom of Big Bang Pro Wrestling, I
believe. Other than the different title and some color changes ingame,
it appears to be identical to the released version, and like Big Bang
Pro Wrestling is in both English and Japanese depending on system
language setting.


Note that some standard Neo-Geo games also do this same "Japan only
release, but it's in English in an English-region system" thing. One
example of this is Twinkle Star Sprites.



Japanese-only titles with Japanese text and no English option:


Rockman Battle and Fighters - fighting (a fan translation was started,
but abandoned quite early on; there is a patch, but it's version 0.1 and
translates little.)
SNK vs. Capcom Card Fighters Clash 2 - card battle (though as noted, there is a complete fan translation patch for this game)
Kikou Seiki Unitron (Bio-Motor Unitron 2) - RPG just like the first one
Nige-Ron-Pa - RPG starring a green-haired girl. Looks good, too bad it's not in English. I'd like to play this game.
Ogre Battle Gaiden - strategy game with gameplay like the SNES Ogre
Battle game. Side-story title, and the only Ogre Battle game not
available in English.
Memories Off Pure - visual novel
Ganbare Neo Poke-kun - weird and unique "virtual life" game / minigame
collection. Neo Poke-kun became the NGPC mascot, and has had cameo
appearances in some more recent SNK games, such as with Ai in NGBC,
which is fitting, since Ai carries an NGPC.
Mizuki Shigeru Youkai Shashin Kan - a kind of action-RPG I think... I
tried to figure it out, but I just couldn't quite figure out how to do
the battles so I can't get anywhere. Could be good for people who know
the language or can figure out how to play.
Infinity Cure - visual novel
Bikkuriman 2000 - minigame collection
Cool Cool Jam - music game
Party Mail - Japanese heavy card/collection/life sim/something other other title
Pocket Love If - visual novel
Puzzle Tsunagete Pon! (B&W only game, first version of Puzzle Link) - puzzle
Densha de GO! 2 - train sim
King of Fighters - Battle de Paradise - board game
Melon-Chan's Growth Diary - life sim (B&W only game)
Master of Syougi (aka Shogi no Tatsujin) - Japanese chess game (B&W only game)
Master of Syougi Color (aka Shogi no Tatsujin Color) - Japanese chess game, color sequel to the above
Mezase! Kanji Ou - Kanji test game. Learn your Kanji!


I think I've listed all NGP/NGPC games that aren't homebrew, mahjong,
casino, pachislot, or pachinko games. If I've missed any, mention them.
