King of Fighters R-2 (Neo Geo Pocket Color - SNK - 1999 - EURO) 🌟 This game is the reason why I bought a NGPC in the first place back in the summer of 1999. This adaptation of KoF’98 expands on the previous episode in every way, with more characters, stages and content, like the « making » mode that is basically a simplified RPG mode where you circle through the same story in order to get stats modifiers. This game defines NGPC’s aesthetic with glorious graphics and nice soundtrack. I have spent so many hour on this one, and the box art might be the best of the system’s library. A true gem. ____________________ #gamesarchive #videogames #games #retrogaming #retrogamer #gaming #collection #vintage #retrocollection #gamingmemories #retrocollectibles #videogames #video #arcade #pixel #pixels #console #japan #oldgames #gameroom #recalbox #snk #neogeo #neogeopocket #neogeopocketcolor #ngpc #pocket #kingoffighters #kofR2 #kof https://www.instagram.com/p/B3uhzCeInlh/?igshid=zvdg6oa4pwcl

No, I don’t know why I decided to play this either. I mean, I’d just set my Raspberry Pi back up with a fresh install of Retropie, and yeah, I’d added this as one of the games, but still. Why this and not something else, I can’t say. But these Neo Geo Pocket fighting games are just so good, aren’t they? So slick and responsive and fun. It wasn’t that long ago I played KOFR2 and it was great as…
