Pochi to Nyaa (PlayStation 2)

Pochi to Nyaa is a port of the Neo Geo puzzle game created by former Puyo Puyo developers that ironically served as the last third-party MVS game developed for that system (though it was originally developed for the NAOMI; a PC port of that version would later be released by Compile-O in 2025). The PS2 version of the game notably adds several characters cut in the process of porting the game from the NAOMI to the MVS.

Unused Graphics#

To do:
Are these graphics used in the PC port of the NAOMI version?

inf_fnp.grp, which can be found packed within GRP1.AFS, contains coin/credit-related messages, likely from the scrapped NAOMI version.
