Neo Geo Pocket Releases -- Have you seen me?

[goatdan]

I was going through my Neo Geo Pocket collection tonight, debating whether or not to pick up a loose UK version of Pocket Reversi for about $20.00 (I probably will...) and I wanted to see how close to a complete collection I was because of the fact that I have slowly amassed quite a number of games. I was looking at the DP rarity guide to see what was released, and there were a few games that I have never seen the US versions of. Can anyone confirm these exist, and if so is there any place still around to snag them for a relatively good deal:

Neo Cherry Master Color
Neo Dragon's Wild
Neo Geo Cup '98 Plus Color
Neo Mystery Bonus
Neo Twenty One

I have seen every one of these games at one point or another -- almost exclusively as European as Japanese releases. Was there actually a US release? If so, did any of these games actually receive US boxes? I know that a whole bunch of games at the end did not...

I've seen Neo 21 US myself... but not any of the others. It's based on the release lists and someone must have them somewhere. Have you considered posting in the handheld forum over at NG.com? Or I could for you...

I'm looking at these US releases now in my pitiful little Neo Pocket collection...

Neo Cherry Master Color
Neo Dragon's Wild
Neo Geo Cup '98 Plus Color
Neo Mystery Bonus
Neo Twenty One (it says Neo 21)

So I guess that's all of them confimed for US release, crappy cardboard boxes and instructions. I found all of these at a speciality game store and they had been sitting there for ages.

Cheers :D

p.s. Ever get around to selling a boxed UK Reversi, PM me!

No! Do NOT pick up a loose Pocket Reversi for 20 bucks! Unless you're desperate for one, and can't use eBay, they're much cheaper! The Carts of the game are dirt cheap and dirt common, and only if it's complete, will it go for around 300.

Here's a list of JAP/UK only games.

King of Fighters R-1 (NGP)
Neo Geo Cup '98 (NGP)
Baseball Stars (NGP)
Samurai Shodown!/Samurai Spirits (NGP)
Pocket Tennis (NGP)
Puzzle Bobble Mini (In US, it's Bust-A-Move)
Dynamite Slugger
Cool Boarders Pocket
Evolution ~Eternal Dungeons~
Cotton
Pocket Reversi
The Last Blade (Only came out as a Cart Only release in the US)
Faselei! (Also Only came out as a Cart Only release in the US)

I've got a loose Cherry Master.. not positive it is a US title, but I think it is. I'll check hen I get home.. Oddly enough it's in my NGP at this very moment...

Baseball Stars (NGP)

Are you sure? I own a copy of this game and it has the cardboard box and everything. There were a lot of copies around Milwaukee when I got my system too...

He means the B&W version. Baseball Stars Color was a U.S. release.

Ah, okay. Anyone have any scans of their copies of those US games that I named? I'd like to know what I'm hunting for now ;)

[fishsandwich]

How about some digital pictures? I don't have a scanner, but I do have a digital camera. I'll see if I can't get some clear ones.

Cheers
