Reception
NeoGeo Battle Coliseum was criticized for not making the storyline more obvious in the game and for sub-par graphics. The game seemed starkly behind the times.
"The NeoGeo fighters have always been looked on by the gaming world with a certain nostalgic level of respect. The games weren’t as good as their competitors. The graphics were excellent on the NeoGeo, but that was years ago, and not much has changed in the games... This is a classic late release for a previous generation platform", wrote Blast Magazine about the PS2 version of the game. Blast gave the game 3/5.
IGN gave the game a 7.3/10.
