Software Update
Hey! It's Halloween...who's got the scary "President of Aruze" costume? Speaking of Aruze, they seem to have pulled a fast one by changing the release date of PachiSlot DELSOL 2. Or perhaps we just weren't paying attention (can you blame us?). Regardless, the Pachinko simulator has been released in Japan during the past week, and the Coming Soon and Soft Data sections have been updated accordingly. ALSO this past week, the 2nd anniversary of the monochrome Neo Geo Pocket's release came and went. Last year we put together NGP - Year One, a retrospective look at the life of our beloved handheld. It is still a rather interesting read if you weren't into the NGP at the time, or just want to live in the past.

Same Forum - New Host
The Sector: NGP forum has recently been moved, thanks in large to the efforts of Paleface for coding and hosting its new incarnation. It's essentially the same forum - all the posters you know and love...and hate. All the "n/t" posts. All the controversial color schemes. But with no ads, no goofy tricks, and no missing posts! Well, not yet at least. Some testing is still underway, but everything appears fully functional and now available at http://www.paleface.net/z/sngp/. Join us if you dare.

Nigeronpa...From The Source!
S:NGP Forum-goer Atarianallstar probed Dennou Eizou's Japanese BBS recently, and gained some interesting initial information on Nigeronpa. Presented below is a copy of the original message from the webmaster. Big thanks to Atarianallstar for passing this info along!

Thank you for visiting our web site!
This game is a fantasy RPG.
and differense between other RPG is the new system
called Nige-nige system.
(which would be transrated to "runaway" in English)
As you travel you meet people and travel together and get job with you people.
and get money.
But if you don't treat them right, they runaway from you.
With out people you cann't get job and you cann't continue
the traveling.
Right now,we don't have any plan to release
this game at overseas
nor in English version.sorry |

Neo Geo Freak Report
The current issue of Neo Geo Freak has had its spine painfully bent for you viewing enjoyment again this month, with some new art and screens from Big Bang Pro Wrestling. Along with character profiles, there are general pics of the modes and features available, the most notable of which are weapons (a chair) and an image of two wrestlers climbing the Money Deathmatch pole simultaneously - so it appears at least the AI has been improved over the version shown at E3 (tease; we didn't actually scan those specifically, since the screens are rather small and grainy). BBPW seems to be coming along fairly well, although the delays seem completely unrelated to development. NGPC coverage is rounded out with strategies for Ogre Battle, Rockman, etc. This issue is also host to the cutest cosplayer we've seen in quite a while. Droool...

Our Coming Soon section has been updated accordingly.
