The '''Neo Geo Pocket''' and Pocket Color were [[SNK]]'s attempt to enter the handheld console market. |
|||
The Pocket was released in 1998, in Japan and Hong Kong. It didn't sell well, so it was replaced one year later by the Pocket Color. This had a wider release, including North America and Europe, and sold two million units. It was a good handheld, with a 16-bit [[CPU]], 4096 colors, and 40 hours on two AA batteries for $70. It was cancelled in 2000 after SNK was bought by a pachinko company, though it lasted until 2001 in Japan. |
|||
The Pocket's claim to fame over the [[Game Boy]] line was the fact that instead of rubber pads, the D-pad used microswitches to sense directional movement. This difference allowed certain genres such as [[Fighting Game]]s to be played effortlessly on such a small unit. |
