CCG writes – “SNK vs. Capcom: The Match of the Millennium was a Neo Geo Pocket Color (NGPC) 2D one-on-one fighting game that was released way back in 1999. Now, if you were like me and didn’t realize what a Neo Geo Pocket Color was, you might have thought that it was just a smaller Neo Geo. But that is most certainly not the case! A Neo Geo Pocket Color was SNK’s more or less direct competitor to Nintendo’s Game Boy Color (GBC). Unlike the Game Boy, the Neo Geo Pocket included more powerful hardware – a 16-bit CPU being the main improvement. But in other ways, it was fairly similar, with a small and low resolution screen, two face buttons, and a rather basic sound chip (while I’m not certain, based on what I’m hearing, the NGPC’s sound chip might even be worse than the GBC). Given that SNK’s main expertise has been fighting games, seeing how they treat the merger of their own and Capcom’s properties has been interesting.”
