VC Friday: Cho Aniki and the return of the Neo Geo



We were already totally pumped about getting Cho Aniki on the European and Aussie Virtual Consoles, but our faces lit up when we saw what else was lying in store for us this morning. Metal Slug is the first Neo Geo game to appear on the download service since December 14th, but what a comeback!

From a value-for-money perspective, we'd still recommend picking up Metal Slug Anthology (especially now that it's so cheap), but it's great to see SNK's classic series represented on the VC (and this version even has Classic Controller support). Puyo Puyo 2 and TurboGrafx billiards title Break In complete this week's line-up.
  • Cho Aniki -- TurboGrafx-16 -- 900 Wii Points
  • Metal Slug -- Neo Geo -- 900 Wii Points
  • Break In -- TurboGrafx-16 -- 700 Wii Points
  • Puyo Puyo 2 -- Mega Drive -- 900 Wii Points
Hop in your Slug and blast your way past the break to see all four in action!
