Neo Geo on the Wii Virtual Console!

Jaguar and 3DO still not invited to the party.

SNK’s Neo Geo will soon be joining the already impressive stable of old school gaming systems on the Ninteno Wii’s Virtual Console.


That ponytail/red ball cap combo looks a lot more fashionable after a roundhouse kick to the face or two.

This is particularly exciting news for those of us that were unable or unwilling to cough up $600 for a system and $200 for a game back when Neo Geo was commercially available.

Although hardly anyone actually owned a Neo Geo, many of us grew up playing the games in the arcades. Neo Geo was perhaps best know for its fighters, such as “The King of Fighters” and “Samurai Showdown”, as well as the ubiquitous “Metal Slug” series.


Steam powered, missle launching tankbots: Freakin' sweet!

“Fatal Fury”, “World Heroes” and “Magician Lord” will be the first games available and the games will retail for an average of 900 Wii points (nine dollars).

Japan will be the first to offer games from the Neo Geo platform, but US and European release will not be far behind.
