Whatever happened to the Neo-Geo?

[Pocketim]

There hasn't been a Neo-Geo game since ages, what happened? Doesn't Nintendo like it anymore?

I suppose it's because of the compliation discs SNK wants to release for Wii. Some wires got crossed, that's all. Besides, there's a plotheroe of games yet to be released for the other systems that may have a broader fan base. Don't get me wrong. I love me some KOF (obviously) and I can't wait to see what else the console has to offer.

Its been said a number of times that some NeoGeo games are just too big for the Wii's memory. I think thats why we re getting these compalations instead of VC releases.

Bring out a Harddrive for gods sake...

Then we can Have us some Saturns!

Well, they could still release some of the early stuff like Nam 75, but even though I like the Neo Geo games, I think I'm going to stick with the compilation discs.

It's a much better deal to get one disc with several games on it for $15-20 (less if you find one used), plus you are not taking up all the space on the Wii's HD.

There's one coming out for PS2/PSP laster this year with 16 games on it:

"On that note, SNK's latest trip back in time comes care of an impressive collection of 16 different SNK faves, which skirt across the surface of the company's storied history like flat stone. Set for release for both the PlayStation 2 and PSP sometime during the first half of this year, the not-so-creatively dubbed SNK Arcade Classics: Volume 1 will include a bevy of early-gen fighters, such as the first World Heroes, Art of Fighting, and Samurai Shodown titles, as well as Fatal Fury, King of the Monsters, and King of Fighters '94. Beyond fighting games, however, SNK has put together a rather eclectic mix from other genres, with action titles like Top Hunter, Last Resort, Shock Troopers, Sengoku, and Burning Fight, as well as sports entries Baseball Stars 2, Neo Turf Masters, and Super Sidekicks 3. And of course, where would any SNK tribute be without the original Metal Slug and Magician Lord? Nowhere, that's where, so it's a good thing it includes those as well."
