#Neo Geo Pocket Color Selection Vol. 1 Brings Underrated Portable System to Switch

If you were around to hit up game shops in 1999, you could have picked up a Neo Geo Pocket Color, the successor to SNK’s original Neo Geo Pocket portable system that packed a pretty impressive punch. Sure, it didn’t last long, but some great games came out at the time, and now you can experience them again or for the first time thanks to the Neo Geo Pocket Color Selection Vol. 1 on Switch.

The digital release includes 10 games, six of which were made available on the eShop prior to the full collection’s arrival. There’s also a physical edition on the way at a later date, but for now you can see what’s included in the trailer and game list below.
