Talk:Neo Geo Pocket Color
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Whoa, that's a lot of numbers
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.
[edit] 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 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)
