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

That’s never going to happen unless someone messages Peter Main on Twitter or something. It’s always possible that Nintendo was that retarded that they did it for no reason. They sucked sooooo bad in the cube years.
