On NEOGEO POCKET COLOR SELECTION Vol. 2 (Nintendo Switch) — the cartridge is now a collectibleLow counterfeit risk

Neo Geo Pocket Color prices, all games & how to spot a fake

A virtual pet built around the console's own mascot — and the one cartridge that depends on a working coin cell.

Neo Poke-Kun is the Neo Geo Pocket's mascot, and this is his game: minigames wrapped around a virtual-pet structure that uses the console's built-in clock and calendar. It leans harder on the hardware features SNK advertised — the alarm, the calendar, the world clock — than anything else in the library.

It is on NEOGEO POCKET COLOR SELECTION Vol. 2 for the Nintendo Switch.

Before you buy

One specific warning that applies here more than anywhere else: this game depends on the console's real-time clock, which is backed by the CR2032 coin cell. On a console with a flat cell the clock resets at every power-up, and a virtual pet that cannot track time is broken rather than merely inconvenienced. Test the clock before buying either the game or the console you intend to play it on.
