First Neo Geo Titles Dated for Wii Virtual Console in Japan

12
Games released on the Neo Geo Advanced Entertainment System will join the Wii Virtual Console lineup in Japan starting September 11, SNK Playmore announced today. Fatal Fury will be the first title available for Japanese Wii gamers on September 11, with World Heroes and Magician Lord following at a later September date.

All three titles will cost 900 Wii Points ($9). SNK Playmore USA president Ben Herman told Gamasutra earlier this year that the Neo Geo titles would be coming to gamers stateside. The 900 Wii Point price for Japanese gamers correlates with the price Herman said the titles would cost in the U.S., "just a little above" the 800 Wii Point ($8) price of Super Nintendo games.

The Neo Geo AES home console will be the sixth console supported on the Wii Virtual Console, alongside the Nintendo Entertainment System, Super Nintendo Entertainment System, Nintendo 64, Sega Genesis, and NEC TurboGrafx-16.

    I think World Heroes is one of the worst fighting games ever made. At least it was comically bad.

        The fight mechanics were horrible. The character design was unique. Gay Rasputin was LOL.

            Yeah, enlarged hands and feet. One of his super special moves was to hump you in a bed roses.

        I pretty much agree with this but I'd put Sam Sho 2 (but I love 4 and V Special too) after Garou.

        The deathmatch mode in WH2 wasn't bad...but like everything else...it was better in Jet. I have enough nostalgia attached to that game that I can still enjoy it actually. I may pick up the collection when it gets released on the NeoGeo...but thats partially because I want to support all the collections until the Samurai Shodown collection gets released...I really REALLY want to get that when it comes out for the PS2 over here.
