SNK announced that it would be adding to it’s stable of NeoGeo Pocket Color games on the Switch. At the end of April they made SNK Gals’ Fighters the first game in their new line of emulated NeoGeo Pocket Color games for the Nintendo Switch. The new product line is called NEOGEO POCKET COLOR SELECTION.
SNK announced that two new games would be coming this summer. King of Fighters R-2 and Samurai Showdown 2 will be added to NEOGEO POCKET COLOR SELECTION.
Samurai Showdown 2 was already given away to some people who purchased the new retail Samurai Showdown game for the Switch. This summer everyone will have the opportunity to get their hands on that game.
Some players will remember King of Fighters R-2 for it’s connection with the Dreamcast. The NeoGeo Pocket Color could be linked with the Dreamcast using a special cable for use in King of Fighters ’99 Dream Match for the Dreamcast. A novelty for the time and a peculiarity even now.
SNK Gals’ Fighters was released on the Nintendo eShop for $7.99 so we can expect similar prices for the KoF R2 and Samurai Showdown 2.
The games will also feature local co-op play in both docked and undocked modes.
