The wait is over... now we can play a perfect arcade experince at home. NeoGeo games are coming to Virtual Console on Monday. I remember back in the day, I really wanted a NeoGeo, but the $600 price tag along with the $100+ games really kept it in the luxury market. But now we can play some of the finest arcade games ever made a much more affordable price. The initial lineup is all fighters, but hopefully we will see some other gems like Blazing Star, Metal Slug, and 2020 Super Baseball.
| Nintendo wrote: | FATAL FURY (NEOGEO, 1-2 players, rated T for Teen - Violence, 900 Wii Points): Released in 1991 and one of the longest-running series in the fighting-game genre, this title introduced players to Terry Bogard, Andy Bogard and Joe Higashi. Select one of the three and visit many locations as your chosen fighter engages in numerous street fights around the fictional city of South Town. If you're good enough, you'll eventually take on Billy Kane and then his boss, the notorious crime lord Geese Howard. Use each fighter's own finishing maneuver and battle in two different planes on the screen, one in the foreground and the other farther away in the background. The game also features a two-player mode that is well known for its unique setup, which allows fighters to both fight and help each other. Do you have what it takes to win the King of Fighters tournament?
WORLD HEROES (NEOGEO, 1-2 players, rated T for Teen - Animated Blood, Violence, 900 Wii Points): A fighting game released in 1992 featuring eight characters, including Hanzo, Janne and Rasputin, modeled on historical figures from throughout the ages. The fighters compete against each other to become the world's toughest combatant, with players using a setup consisting of only three buttons (one each for punching, kicking and throwing). Adding to this unique system is the fact that the strength of your offensive blow depends on how long the button is pressed and held. Along with regular match styles, Death Match mode is also available and features mines, electrified ropes and other dangerous objects in the battle arena that can change conditions during the fight or damage players. Enjoy the wide range of combat forms as you take on history's best!
ART OF FIGHTING (NEOGEO, 1-2 players, rated T for Teen - Animated Blood, Violence, 900 Wii Points): This fighting game, released in 1992, began the story of the Sakazaki family and Robert Garcia, further developed in two later sequels. Yuri Sakazaki has been abducted by Mr. Big to punish her father, Takuma, and her brother, Ryo. To rescue her, Ryo and Robert must take on numerous enemies around South Town, eventually reaching the mysterious Mr. Karate. The passion of the game's creators is evident in the unique game-play elements introduced. These include an energy gauge that is depleted every time a fighter uses a special maneuver, Desperation Attacks that are usable only when a fighter's health is low and camera zooming that adjusts on the fly as fighters move around the stage. All these features ensure that players use strategy and tactics, rather than simply mash buttons. Adding to the mix are little touches such as characters showing cuts when they are injured and voice-over samples during cut scenes. Can you perfect the art of fighting and save Yuri? |

Amazing. Welcome to life in the fast lane, Francis. Back in those days, the Neo Geo was in the same price range as the PlayStation 3 of today. At least Nintendo and SNK Playmore did us all the favor of providing the games at a VERY reasonable price. But I wonder if the week after (or two weeks later) will have TurboGrafx-CD games. I'd really love to play the Valis Trilogy on there. Valis IV was on the SNES in America. But where did you get the information? SNK Playmore, or Nintendo's Press Site? And with Neo Geo games coming to VC, maybe we'll see some SNK Games on the NES, like Crystalis. |
