SNK Playmore today issued details on the company's plans to release Neo Geo arcade titles on Wii in North America via the system's online Virtual Console storefront. Priced at 900 Wii Points ($9) a piece and managed by the Tokyo-headquarted D4Enterprise, the initial batch of games includes three 2D fighters: Fatal Fury and Art of Fighting, both developed by SNK, and ADK's World Heroes. No release dates were provided, though yesterday's offering of a Neo Geo Advanced Entertainment System game in Japan's VC and the company's promise that "more titles will follow over the coming months" implies North Americans won't have to wait all that long.

Does anyone else think that 9 bucks is a lot for a game that was released 15+ years ago? I'm all for these classic games, but if they are just a port running on emulation I would expect to see them at a more decent price.

I always had tons of fun with the NAM 1975 game. I hope if anything that one will be hitting the store.

I remember the arcade machines had a slot for cards which you could save your progress at the arcade and then continue at home, or the other way around.

also the arcade machines had headphone jacks

Cool, another system for the VC! Huzzah for more choice!

With all this cool stuff for the Wii, I hope we can use a HDD with it soon. Storing on a flash card and transferring to main memory just isn't enough!

    That game is awesome but it takes about 40 minutes to beat. :( : Dynotaku
    - it's an arcade game. They are designed to be short, but long enough to suck quarters. : deathofrats

Given the size of the cartridges for the Neo Geo (literally the size of a small pizza box) I was under the impression that these games were huge compared to games from other consoles of that generation. Are these going to be 50 meg DLs that eat up all of precious Wii memory (memorwii) or am I totally off base here?

- There are a few games will probably be up in the 50mb range. Even a couple that go up as high as 90mb. : Prozium
