Biomotor Unitron (Switch) Review
SNK dropped another bombshell on the Switch eShop, this time in the form of Biomotor Unitron, a cult favorite on the Neogeo Pocket Color (NGPC).

Neogeo Pocket Color Selection Vol.1 Steam Edition (PC) Review
Released in March 2021 on the Nintendo Switch eShop, the Neogeo Pocket Color Selection Vol.1 is one of the best game compilations of all time in my opinion.

A 3rd party accessory by Nyko, the Shock ‘n’ Rock is a dohickey that attaches to the bottom of the Neogeo Pocket Color and adds rumble support, an extra battery, grips, and stereo speakers. Unfortunately, my Shock ‘n’ Rock did not want to work as my systems would not power on no matter what I […]
