About
As of 2026, it's 27 years old.
SNK's Neo Geo Pocket Color was the handheld that should have been huge: a snappy clicky thumbstick, brilliant fighting games, and surprisingly long battery life. It just had the misfortune of facing Nintendo's Game Boy juggernaut.
It bowed out fast, but earned a devoted cult that swears its SNK vs. Capcom card-fighter is a lost classic. Critically adored, commercially doomed.
The best handheld most people never held.
