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
Cho Aniki (TurboGrafx-16)
Metal Slug (Neo Geo)
Break In (TurboGrafx-16)
Puyo Puyo 2 (Mega Drive)

North America is never going to get Cho Aniki. :(

And if it does, which I would like to, stupid organizations will throw a fit at Nintendo saying this game is discriminatory. >.>

Metal Slug Anthology was one of the first Wii games I got, soooo worth it!

Er, i'm not seeing anything "dirty" about cho aniki. I know it's got a history, but... do you think they toned it down for home consoles?

I love the music on Cho Aniki so I hope we get it in America. Break in looks pretty meh and Puyo Puyo 2 would be cool, but what's up with that hideous sound quality?
