NGPC region free?

[alexuz]

Hello!
I'm new to this forum and to NGPC. I live in Sweden and there is a store here that sells the NGPC with 6 SNK games for $100. I'm thinking about buying this classic and have some fun. But... My question is:

Can I play any Japanese, USA and Europe game on that console?

[Kazuya_UK]

Simple answer: yes! ;D The NGPC can play games from any territory, and in some cases if you play a Japanese game on an English language system, you'll even get English text! It does depend on the game, but there are quite a few that have English text built in anyway.

Although no more games are being produced, it's still a cool system though. Any idea what 6 games were with it?

Welcome to the forum,
Kaz

Here is the direct link:

www.webhallen.com/prod.php?id=18861

The included games are:
Pac Man
King of Fighters R2
Neo Turf Master
Samurai Shodown 2
Metal Slug - 1st Mission
Fatal Fury - First Contact

Now I have another question:

What games have English text in them?

Where Can I buy SNK vs. Capcom: Match of the Millennium? (and the store/person has to ship to sweden)

That's not a bad deal, the games are pretty good:

Pacman: no need to explain
KOF R2 - Very good pocket version of KOF, good fun.
Neo Turf Master - One of my fave NGPC games, if you like golf this is VERY addictive!
Samurai Shodown 2 - Good game, not the best fighter on the system, but good nevertheless.
Metal Slug - 1st Mission - Pretty good game, Slug 2nd Mission is much better though.
Fatal Fury - First Contact - Plays well enough, but not as good as KOF R2 or SVC: MOTM

I couldn't tell you exactly what games support English text, but it's mainly the newer titles that *don't* have dual language. I'm pretty sure that games like KOF R2 do, but Last Blade, Faselei and others don't. That's about as much as I can say really. As for places to buy the games, I'm not too sure anymore... you could try lik-sang.com (in Hong Kong) though as they hd a few games in stock last time I checked, and there's usually a few on Ebay too. Finally, people do sell games on neo-geo.com's forums, so it might be worth checking there or posting a request if all else fails.

lik-sang.com are very good to deal with though in my experience, so if they have what you want I'd recommend them highly

okey, thanx

Is Metal Slug 2nd mission with english text?

oh and are these two games worth getting:

"Card Fighter's Clash" and "Biomotor Unitron 2" (if they have english text)

[Kazuya_UK]

MS2 *might* have English text... I used to own it, but I can't remember 100% if it did. As for the other games, CFC is good fun if you like to play card based games ; emember there's 2 versions of it though, SNK and Capcom, both have slightly different card sets... it's a bit like the difference between Pokemon red and blue etc for the gameboy. I have no idea if the Japanese version of the game has English text on the cart, but there is an English version of the game available anyway. As for Biomotor Unitron, I never really played it but I heard it wasn't all that great really.

How is the screen in the dark?

I have read that two new batteries hold about 40 hours. is that true?

What are the best sites for Neo Geo on the net?

Is Ogre Battle with english text?

[zebu]

if i were you i'd look on ebay, i bought my ngpc with the same 6 games for 45 $, from video_wholesales
and al the games support english!

as for faselei, evolution and metal slug 2nd are also available in english,

ogre battle isn't

[makuro]

whoa that's a good deal for 45 bucks (with shipping or without?). Used or new? And is this some sort of box set or is it just a package the seller put together?

[zebu]

its a set with a neo geo pocket color (without box), and six games (pac man, metal slug 1, samurai shodown!2, fatal fury, turf masters and king of fighters R2) the games come in hard snk seetrough cases and the neo geo comes with manula only, all this is packaged in a plastic foil thingy

[Kazuya_UK]

Yeah a lot of places do those blister packed packages that come with a bundle of games. It's annoying to not have the proper plastic boxes, but they are still pretty good deals considering the games you get.
