Huge Neo Geo Compliation Coming Soon!!!

[koolkitties]

Okay, I'm done with the caps. Anymultipleways, including the collection for World Heroes, King of Fighters and samurai showdown, this year, we're gonna see one of the best and cheapest Neo Geo collections ever. Stolen blatantly from IGN:

• Art of Fighting - the first game in SNK's second fighting-game franchise, set in the same universe as Fatal Fury
• Baseball Stars 2 - a baseball game (not set in space)
• Burning Fight - New York detectives battle organized crime in this side-scrolling brawler
• Fatal Fury - first released in 1991, Fatal Fury introduced the two-plane fighting system.

Burning Fight

• King of Fighters '94 - the original
• King of the Monsters - off-brand Godzilla
• Last Resort - a horizontal shooter

King of the Monsters

Last Resort

• Magician Lord - a magical platformer
• Metal Slug - you know it, you love it
• Neo Turf Masters - SNK's second golf game
• Samurai Shodown - 2D blade fighting
• Sengoku - side-scrolling brawler set in feudal Japan
• Shock Troopers - in this run-and-gun adventure, players save a scientist and his granddaughter from the Bloody Scorpions
• Top Hunter - side-scrolling action starring Bounty hunters Roddy and Cathy

Shock Troopers

• Super Sidekicks 3 - soccer
• World Heroes - 2D fighter starring historical figures in a tournament enabled by time travel

This game is currently unanounced in Europe.

Good stuff.

[IDreamInSound]

Good stuff indeed, and only volume one! It's probably only going to be about 20 or 30 dollars, too. I'm definitely going to get it.

Meh, all of it is either too violent for my age or is a sport game, I don't like Sport games

Theres a KOF compalation coming to the Wii too. From what I ve heard, it ll have 94-98.

Most of the games are released on the VC already.

Is it safe to say, the games we didn't have on VC will be the next ones to appear?
I think the chances are very high.

The compilation has all the games that are available on VC plus these:

Burning Fight
King of the Monsters
Last Resort
Metal Slug
Neo Turf Masters
Samurai Shodown (safe bet as it's available in JP)
Sengoku
Shock Troopers
Super Sidekicks 3

It is much cheaper with all these games on it.
If you download them on VC you could maybe only get 4 or 5 games for the same money.
I say, get this compilation, save money and Wii memory.
Makes the whole point of Neo Geo supporting the VC pointless.

Cool, But I'd recommend just getting the Metal Slug Anthology for the Wii (or PSP, or PS2 for that matter) I mean, the Neo Geo was FULL of fighting games, and not alot of them were actually that good, also most of them blatantly ripped off Street Fighter, whilst, not a bad thing in any way, it did lead to extreme market saturation. How many of those games are fighters?

Though Shock Troopers looks okay, might get it if it comes to the VC, but I'd need to find out more about it.

Well, you could use the VC versions to try out some series's. For example, I downloaded KOF 94 to try out the KOF series. Havent played much of it, but if I like it, I may go for the compalation coming out.

This collection isn't coming out for the Wii. It's for the PS2. There's been several discs released recently for most of the major Neo Geo franchises (Fatal Fury, Art of Fighting, etc).
