Fans of fighting games who also happen to have fond memories of playing their favorite series in handheld form may get a kick out of this one. The Neo Geo Pocket conversions may be an acquired taste since, by their nature, they were being made on more limited hardware but there are those like this one that shine a little brighter than the rest. Once you get over the somewhat slow response of your fighters (it’s minor but hard not to notice, I’d imagine this is consistent with the original though) you’ll find that the move set for each character is pretty deep and generally easy to execute even with only the two buttons supported. Depth of challenge may be a bit more of an issue, depending on your level of skill, but if you’ve got some pocket-sized retro nostalgia it’s among the better conversions they’ve made.
