■About THE LAST BLADE series
In 1997, SNK introduced the world to THE LAST BLADE, a weapon-based combo fighter set in the final years of Edo Japan during a great war. Soon after in 1998, its sequel THE LAST BLADE 2: Heart of the Samurai was launched. Two years later in 2000, the series made its debut on the NEOGEO POCKET COLOR handheld device under the name THE LAST BLADE: Beyond the Destiny. The series is known for its unique gameplay, distinct and interesting characters, and the beautiful scenery on display in every background. Additionally, the music and setting has been praised by fighting game fans around the world, many of which are anxiously waiting for an additional sequel.
■About the NEOGEO POCKET
The NEOGEO POCKET was a handheld gaming device that featured a monochrome display developed and launched by SNK in 1998. In 1999, the device saw its successor, the NEOGEO POCKET COLOR jump into the market, where over 80 popular fighting, action, and platformer games were given a new 16-bit home. It has been praised by gamers alike for its intuitive controls, responsive thumbstick, and stylish design.
■About the NEOGEO POCKET COLOR SELECTION
SNK launched the NEOGEO POCKET COLOR, a literal pocket-sized handheld gaming system back in 1999. Many games were made for it, and finally, some of those amazing classics are finding their way to the Nintendo Switch though the NEOGEO POCKET COLOR SELECTION. Not only are these games perfectly emulated to look and play as they did back on the NEOGEO POCKET COLOR, but advancements in technology have enabled them to be played together with a friend with just one copy, and you can even change the virtual exterior designs on a whim! Currently, THE LAST BLADE: Beyond the Destiny in addition with KING OF FIGHTERS R-2, SAMURAI SHODOWN! 2, and SNK GALS’ FIGHTERS are available to download with more games on the way, so stay tuned!
