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

The better of the two handheld Metal Slugs, and a real one — not a cut-down port.

The Metal Slug handheld games are original entries rather than compressions of the arcade titles, and 2nd Mission is where the formula settles. It keeps the run-and-gun core but adds branching mission routes and a slower, more tactical pace suited to a small screen and two buttons, and it looks remarkable for the hardware.

It arrived in 2000, so English copies are scarcer than 1st Mission's. It is on NEOGEO POCKET COLOR SELECTION Vol. 1 for the Nintendo Switch.

Before you buy

The Metal Slug name alone attracts fakes. Worth noting that the Japanese market prices this one higher than the North American market does, which is unusual on this platform and worth checking against recent completed sales before you assume an import is the cheap route.
