Metal Slug: 2nd Mission, Cotton, Last Blade, Evolution, and Dynamite Slugger in its booth. The marketing team was jubilant, proudly announcing that the NeoGeo Pocket Color had reached 2 percent market share in the US compared to the Game Boy Color's massive share. That number wasn't
enough to send Nintendo running for cover, but it was enough for SNK USA to eke out a profit and enough to convince Toys "R" Us to begin placing demo kiosks in its stores. Metal Slug: 2nd Mission came out in late May and sold out its entire initial run of 10,000 copies. Fans were looking forward to Last Blade, Faselei!, and Dynamite Slugger in June and to Evolution and Cotton in July. The most eagerly awaited was Faselei!, which was a mech robot
strategy game that completely flexed the graphical and audio capabilities of the tiny NGPC. Digital music is common in handheld games these days, but back then, Faselei!'s MP3-quality intro music was a wake-up call. Sadly, the June honeymoon would not come. Faselei! was a great turn-based strategy game with a cool MP3 intro. It never came out in America. On June 11, 2000, rumors began
surfacing on the Internet that SNK would be pulling out of the US and European markets.
