Reception

IGN said First Contact is a quality game but recommended to get either King of Fighters R-2 or Samurai Shodown! 2 instead.[2] GameSpot said the game has great graphics but recommended to get King of Fighters R-2 instead.[6] Hardcore Gaming 101 said the game is "among the best portable fighters ever made".[1] Nintendo Life called the Switch port "accessible and charming" but said there are better alternatives available.[7] Nintendo World Report complimented the graphics but criticized the lack of extras compared to the other Neo Geo Pocket Color fighting games.[8] Hardcore Gamer wrote that the game "[...] plays like a dream still and while its graphics don’t hold up as well as the other NGPC games due to a lack of background activity, its core action does.".[9] Siliconera said First Contact "is a fun pocket-sized fighter".[10]
