SNK Arcade Classics confirmed for Wii plus more!

by JC Fletcher { Feb 14th 2008 at 1:30PM }

Not only is the fate of the SNK Arcade Classics collection no longer up in the air (yes! It is coming to Wii!), SNK went ahead and announced two more Wii compilations in an email sent out yesterday. Both Samurai Shodown Anthology and King of Fighters: The Orochi Saga will also see Wii releases, as well as versions for the PS2 and PSP.

We don't know exactly which titles will be included, but the Japanese version of the Samurai Shodown Anthology contained Shodowns I through VI, and the KOF collection included KOF's '95, '96, and '97. That means that there's overlap between the collections, since Samurai Shodown will be on both the SNK Arcade and Samurai Shodown Anthology collections.

SNK will have all three collections on display at GDC. Hopefully they'll have some Neo Geo Stick 2's with which to test the games!

Woohoo!! I'm looking forward to playing me some Last Resort!! That's up there with Lords of Thunder as one of my all time favorite shooters!

Guess I'll finally need to pick up some classic controllers (or maybe some Neo Geo sticks, if I decide I don't need any SNES games).

Cool, I hope the emulation quality is top notch.

I want SVC Chaos....common SNK, that was a Xbox 1 exclusive in North America, its time to make more money off that title!

Maybe SNK Playmore and Capcom will reach a licensing agreement (as I'm sure the licensing contracts specify which platforms the game can be released on), and it'll be released on Virtual Console.

From all that I've heard, SVC Chaos isn't very good... But I'd still want it for Megaman Zero.

And what about those who bought 5 NEOGEO games on the VC? Will they be getting the Arcade Collection for free.
I can hear the bells of a class action suit.

Why would you need it if you own a lot of the games already? You got it before others and no one forced you to buy the games online.

Personally I think they're over doing it with these collections. SNK barely makes any new games since they merged with Playmore(whoever they are).

They also need to release the new DS Metal Slog on home consoles too. I'd be a shame to leave that on handhelds.
