I wanted to play King of Fighters (99?) on it, because I read they had one that was the same as the arcade, and as that was the popular one at the time, I wanted to practice so I could actually beat someone for once. It was hard to play at the arcade because so many people wanted to play it, but also because I had no money.

I wasn't old enough to own the original, but I have an emulator. It would be sweet to get ahold of one. I love these games! I wasn't old enough to own the original, but I have an emulator.

Pocket Tennis is pretty awesome too. I have only ever played these in emulation but still play all the bust-a-moves pretty regularly on my m33. Pocket Tennis is pretty awesome too.

I only have Metal Slug for mine, but it's totally enjoyable! The clicky thumb-stick is the best part of the NGPC. I only have Metal Slug for mine, but it's totally enjoyable!

Cardfighters Clash was my favorite game. I was so bummed that I didn't get to Babbages before they sent back their stock. I loved my NGPC. Cardfighters Clash was my favorite game.

But none of them were very good. Matter of fact, I thoroughly disliked most of them. But Bust-A-Move was the one that got played most often. I've always enjoyed puzzle games on portables though. Sadly, I don't think SNK's franchises made the leap from awesome arcade console to cost-effective portable very well. It was hot for a minute though.
