, Babbages, and a whole host of retailers carried the system. Print ads appeared in major enthusiast publications such as Electronic Gaming Monthly and Pocket Games.

Long before King of Fighters EX2 came to the GBA, you could play the wonderful King of Fighters R-2 on the NeoGeo Pocket Color. It was during this tumultuous period that SNK USA underwent yet another major personnel change. The executives in Japan weren't happy with how the Barones were marketing the company's products in the United States.

On the consumer side of things, executives in Japan weren't pleased with how poorly the monochrome NeoGeo Pocket had sold just prior to the introduction of the color model in North America, and they were livid with Susan Barone for her decision to use cardboard boxes as opposed to plastic boxes for the system's US release. The Barones were stripped of their control of the US branch in June 1999 and released from their contracts at the end of the year.
