Because of the Neo Geo pocket Color (NGC). Everyone knows that. Didn’t even need to click 😏.

Reading between the lines — this was a mandate of the Emperor who chose SNK over Nintendo to slight the latter for their malfeasance during the whole N64 debacle.

Edit: wow that whole thread is useless and those idiots know nothing of Console History.

There are other suggestions that the NGC abbreviation was already held by National Geographic Channel. I don't think it's as clear cut as you're saying here.

This is literally a forum for lawyers. Is that how you think copyrights/trademarks work? Are you an Engineer?

if you have a smoking gun source from Nintendo of America that says "we did not abbreviate as NGC because of the Neo Geo Color" please go ahead and post it champ
