I'd like to concur with the removal of the system specs. While they may be interesting to some people, the fact of the matter is that 99% of the people who read Wikipedia aren't going to have any practical use for all of that information. [[User:Mo0|Mo0[talk]]] 04:48, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)

That's what I think. Way too much tech info that proves to be useless to almost everyone that could end up on that article. Also, it's modifications instructions, whether by emulator or something else. I really don't think that kind of thing belongs here.--Kaonashi 04:55, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Apparently, someone disagrees. Too bad he acts before negotiating first.--Kaonashi 15:58, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Why don't we keep the system specs on the main page as most other videogame console wiki pages, but move the programming information to a new page --Aika 00:13, Feb 16, 2005 (UTC)

WHAT? It's extremely stupid not to have the technical specs! Do another page if you want. I highly doubt that someone that wants to find information about the Neo-Geo Pocket Color would be a "casual" gamer anyway.

Retail price?

How much did the system cost at launch? Did Neo Geo reduce the price during its lifespan? Also, how much did the games cost (compared to GBA games of the time)?

I remember the system wasn't that much, because, for some strange reason, Sega was still selling Nomads at around $70 and the Game Boy Color was around $60 or so, so I'm remembering paying around $70 I believe.

As for the games, I never paid for that $29.99 new, and Pac-Man was around $19.99 new and came with a little joystick adapter. Coffee5binky (talk) 16:49, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

I added the retail price and the alleged number of launch titles. The price is 100% verifiable, I have still have the receipt, and I have a writeup on it that verifies the 70 list price. The writeup also says there were 20 launch titles, but I don't think I believe that, I seem to recall there were some delays. I scanned the writeup from an old issue of Playboy, don't remember the month but I could probably find it so I could cite it if anyone thinks that's value-added. I also added the different unit colors, it uses the actual marketing names. I got it from another site.

One more thing, it really sucks that the pic for the color unit is the distinctive grey of the mono system, while the page for the mono system has a unit that's more representative of the newer style of the color units. I have a grey JP mono unit, Stone Blue US color unit, and a semi-transparent yellow JP color unit I could take pictures of, again if anyone thinks it's value-added. Boxes too, except for the JP color unit. Maybe I can set up a photo that compares the form factors of the different color units. 12.205.149.45 03:32, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Can anyone confirm the US release date? SNK's press release says August 8, but I've read an article on Gamasutra that states SNK actually ended up starting sales in April. Anyone can confirm this? 12.205.149.45 22:18, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Barone family?

I've never read, anywhere, magazines or Internet, or just e-mailing SNK, that the "Barone" family controls anything, let alone exists. Should this strange statement be removed and the section re-written?

Also, if I can find it, an old issue of Tips & Tricks has a lengthy editorial about the Neo-Geo Pocket Color and how SNK has bent over backwards for the third parties, only to be snubbed by them in a similar way Dreamcast was snubbed.

Also, the system was released in April 1999 in Japan, and sometime way before the Dreamcast launch in America. I remember having the system a good number of weeks before September 9, 1999. If it was a mere month, then that's one long month!

The Barone family controlled the US are of SNK, They seemed to be left to it and done a poor job! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.14.156.49 (talk) 13:56, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

Cartridge

Games that only supported Neo Geo Pocket Color refused to play if you’re playing on an old monochrome Neo Geo Pocket. Dual mode Neo Geo Pocket Color Games work on all Neo Geo Pocket systems. --73.184.6.244 (talk) 13:36, 23 June 2018 (UTC)

Will games that only support Neo Geo Pocket Color stated that a Game Boy Color-like warning message that is require and refused to play on a monochrome Neo Geo Pocket? --73.184.6.244 (talk) 13:38, 23 June 2018 (UTC)

Software Cartridge

Nintendo called them for the Game Boy, "Game Pak" while SNK called them for the system, "Software Cartridge". --73.184.6.244 (talk) 01:28, 17 July 2018 (UTC)

Merge NGP here

I think it might be best to merge Neo Geo Pocket into this article. The reason is that the NGP is pretty much the same product as the Neo Geo Pocket Color but with a monochrome screen - it otherwise has the exact same specifications, and they are both the same software platform. NGP simply isn't uniquely notable to be its own article (unlike GB and GBC): it is an obscure precursor that was marketed for a (very) brief time before the much better known NGPC came. The little content this article has as it is would easily fit into the NGPC article history section. Agree or disagree? Sceeegt (talk) 21:00, 26 September 2024 (UTC)

@Kazinsal, Apple2gs, BOZ, and LTPHarry: could be interested --Sceeegt (talk) 15:07, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

I don’t really have any knowledge on the Neo Geo systems, but thanks for asking! Luigitehplumber (talk) 16:59, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

Second that, I'm not familiar with the Neo Geo line either. However if the internal hardware is identical (are the mainboards interchangable between the two models?) with the only difference being the physical shell and LCD screen, then I could see them being merged. If, on the other hand, it is like the Gameboy Pocket vs Gameboy Color which are entirely different systems (despite one being backwards compatible), I would leave them separate. The image of the motherboard on both articles look to be the same, but I'd have to do a little research to compare that.--Apple2gs (talk) 20:03, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

I personally think even if they were completely different, like GBP and GBC, the question has to be asked whether it is worthy and notable to be its own article - unlike Nintendo's. Just to let you know, WonderSwan consists of both that system and its Color updated version. Sceeegt (talk) 20:12, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

I think merging makes sense here, although the original model probably is notable on its own, given its short lifespan and meager game library, it seems always talked about in sources together with the color model: [1], [2]. And sources seem to refer to the Pocket Color as an upgraded model, not a wholly separate system. And you can see how well merging worked with the WonderSwan article, there were three separate articles before the merge. --Mika1h (talk) 20:38, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

I support a merge. I think it should be handled more like how we handle a Switch Lite or a PS4 Pro type revision. Sergecross73 msg me 18:16, 6 December 2024 (UTC)

You could move one or the other page to Neo Geo Pocket and Pocket Color and do the merge without any naming issues. Axem Titanium (talk) 01:36, 7 December 2024 (UTC)

I support a merge but the title of the merged page should just be Neo Geo Pocket, as with how it was done with WonderSwan. Roberth Martinez (talk) 00:56, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

I agree it shouldn't combine both but think that the sole title should be Neo Geo Pocket Color because the Color version is the commonly known product and it known as the full name. Sceeegt (talk) 01:05, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

Y As per consensus (and no further objections raised at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Video games#Neo Geo Pocket merge), I have just now merged relevant NGP content into NGPC and left a redirect behind. All done. --Sceeegt (talk) 03:13, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

Comment: @KGRAMR: Now with the articles merged into one, it clears the way for a further proposal if you believe the title should be just Pocket without the Color. I'm currently neutral in regards to that, by the way. --Sceeegt (talk) 03:18, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

@Sceeegt:Since the original NGP was released only in Japan, i think it's appropiate to keep the title as NGPC, since it was released worldwide but infomation regarding the original NGP needs to be expanded upon within the article. Roberth Martinez (talk) 16:12, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

In light of the merge, should the nine games for the monochrome system be moved to the List of NGPC Games article? -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 01:47, 8 February 2025 (UTC)

Makes sense to me. Sergecross73 msg me 18:18, 10 February 2025 (UTC)

Rename proposal

We propose to rename the Neo Geo Pocket Color to the Neo Geo Pocket Series or Neo Geo Pocket. The reason is that Neo Geo Pocket Color is a higher-end model of Neo Geo Pocket, so leaving it as Neo Geo Pocket Color would be inappropriate as an article title, so I am proposing it.--240D:F:2074:4B00:512A:83C3:1702:C5A3 (talk) 06:56, 10 February 2025 (UTC)

• Opposed - the current title is more representative of the current article. Using "series" like that would fail WP:COMMONNAME. Sergecross73 msg me 18:22, 10 February 2025 (UTC)
• Oppose - I'm confused. This article is about the Neo Geo Pocket Color - why should it be renamed to something other than the article subject? The article would need significant rewriting - and articles on the other models creating - in order to make sense of the proposal.

If you're serious about it, I propose that you create the other model articles in draft first, and try again? Chaheel Riens (talk) 18:44, 10 February 2025 (UTC)

The two were actually very recently merged, per the discussion directly above. I think the anonymous editor is trying to say that since the Pocket was the original/first-released/base model, it should be named after that. Sergecross73 msg me 19:46, 10 February 2025 (UTC)

Fair enough - but at least part of my comment still stands; if the page is moved/renamed there would need to be significant work done to the article to reflect the change, and a page move should only be done to address inaccuracies or shortcomings with the existing article - not to introduce them that then need fixing.

PS: Sergecross73, I know you moved oppose, so my discussion isn't really aimed at you, it's just clarification of my view using your response as a springboard. Chaheel Riens (talk) 21:06, 10 February 2025 (UTC)

Yeah, no problem. I was just making sure you knew the context. I wasn't trying to argue with you (nor you with me). We're good. Sergecross73 msg me 21:28, 10 February 2025 (UTC)

• "Withdrawal" The Neo Geo Pocket Color is available worldwide, and the Neo Geo Pocket itself is only available in Japan, so it will be withdrawn.--211.1.212.52 (talk) 04:00, 13 February 2025 (UTC)

• Oppose - not a common name. TarkusAB^talk/contrib 19:53, 16 February 2025 (UTC)
• Oppose - NGPC is the more common name of the two NGPs, since the original NGP was released only in Japan. Roberth Martinez (talk) 00:30, 21 February 2025 (UTC)
• Opposed - GameBoy and GBC have their own pages; why not NGP and NGPC? They may not be as astronomically successful, granted, but they are separate hardware units with separate sales numbers, game libraries, etc.; as much as I am typically a mergist, I think this one deserves its own place here. SpiralSource (talk) 03:34, 3 March 2025 (UTC)

Due to overwhelming opposition, I have removed the merge request hatnote in the article itself. Skeeegt (talk) 01:25, 11 March 2025 (UTC)

Based on some of the comments here, I have done my best to re-focus this article to make it more all-encompassing of the Neo Geo Pocket series, compared to the prior format which felt like an article on the Neo Geo Pocket Color with random mentions of Neo Geo Pocket and the New Neo Geo Pocket Color. -- RickyCourtney (talk) 00:25, 6 May 2025 (UTC)

Great improvement. I would support a move to Neo Geo Pocket now. TarkusAB^talk/contrib 19:01, 2 July 2025 (UTC)

Fifth or Sixth generation?

The infobox lists this as a sixth generation device, but it's listed on the fifth generation page. Any reliable sources pointing to which it is? I tend to think fifth, as it seemed to compete more with the Game Boy Color, and was discontinued before the Game Boy Advance. RickyCourtney (talk) 23:30, 22 April 2025 (UTC)

@Cax117 Since you reverted the change, please engage in the discussion here. -- RickyCourtney (talk) 00:46, 24 April 2025 (UTC)

Neo Geo Pocket Color → Neo Geo Pocket – I realize there was a very recent move discussion with overwhelming opposition (including from myself), but the article has undergone substantial changes which effectively changes the primary topic from the NG Pocket Color to the NG Pocket hardware line. I think these changes are an improvement, and the article title should change to align with this. TarkusAB^talk/contrib 19:10, 2 July 2025 (UTC) — Relisting. CoconutOctopus talk 21:05, 9 July 2025 (UTC)

Support move, but recommend "Neo Geo Pocket series" – After my recent changes, I've tried to refocus this article to make it more all-encompassing of all models. RickyCourtney (talk) 20:44, 2 July 2025 (UTC)

Appreciate the support, though I would oppose your suggestion as unsubstantiated terminology in this context. TarkusAB^talk/contrib 22:48, 2 July 2025 (UTC)

Support - Roberth Martinez (talk) 15:32, 5 July 2025 (UTC)

I'll just comment that I really don't want to move the article unless there's some solid support. NGP is not the common name across sources, because the NGPC is the more-discussed model. If this doesn't pass, let's refocus the subject to be the NGPC, with the NGP as "background". I think that's also a fine solution. TarkusAB^talk/contrib 01:12, 10 July 2025 (UTC)
