Neo Geo games finally coming to the Virtual Console (in Japan)

by JC Fletcher { Aug 31st 2007 at 2:00PM }

This is something we've been looking forward to for a long time. World Heroes, Magician Lord, and Fatal Fury will be released at some time in September, at a cost of 900 Wii Points each. Well, we haven't been so much looking forward to World Heroes, and the Fatal Fury collection just came out on PS2 for $15. But, as usual, we're looking to the future! We're thinking about the time when we're able to download Mark of the Wolves and play it with our Hori Fighting Stick. We're also looking forward to whatever comes out that we haven't played.

September's not going to be all Neo Geo games. Check out what's on the way to the Japanese download service after the break. You'll be really jealous.

Someone make a rant to bring Sin and Punishment abroad.

Sin and Punishment was an awesome game! I wish they had brought it to the US.

Will they finally announce the hard drive or let you play games off an SD card??? Otherwise how on earth are you going to cram NeoGeo games onto Wii internal memory???

@ Mullinger:

NeoGeo games were measured in MegaBITS not Mega Bytes.
I'm sure they won't release any post-1995 games in the next couple of years. Those games hardly go over 20 MB, Magician Lord is 4 MB I think.

By the time they get to the heavy hitters (80+ MB), a new Wii revision would have been released.
