The Future is Now! SNK Neo Geo lives again on the VC!!! Hopefully we will see Samurai Showdown RPG on the VC someday!

wow thats sick! To bad nintendo controls are TERRIBLE for fighting games.

I wonder if SNK will eventually release 2001 and 2002, since they're Eolith titles.

Oh yeah and if they don't put Samurai Shodown on Wii as one of the first releases, I'm going to be pissed because I already have the Art of Fighting Anthology and the Fatal Fury Battle Archives and I want my Samurai Shodown again, that is the all time greatest Neo Geo game.

While $9.00 (900 points) is certainly reasonable compared to their original pricing, I believe Nintendo is being bullish in their pricing of VC games in general. If we can get a souped up version of Fatal Fury Special (one of the all time great Neo Geo games) for $5.00 (400 points) from Microsoft, Nintendo must be saying screw you were loading our pockets with cash because we are number one now and we will do what the hell we want. I hope 360 rebounds and takes the number one posistion in this generation because Microsoft has shown that they care about the gamers with their retroactive warranty (granted it shouldn't have had to come to that) but they at least did what was right. If Wii's all across the world start breaking I dont see Nintendo doing something similar. And I have a couple of friends who have had to already send their Wii back so it's not unthinkable.

getoconnection: "You would be infringing on copyrights by seeking "other means...that don't cost a dime" meaning "YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY" according to the previous post. I don't know how else to explain my posture to you. You are rationalizing, like i said. You go on the assumption that someone owns said systems when clearly that was not a variable in the original statement, otherwise "you would have to pay a dime." And you go on the assumption that someone doesnt. I myself explained that to you in a message, after which you still refused to remove my name from a post that encourages illegal use of said technology, specifically what I said in another message I do NOT condone. And once again, it proves nothing other than you expect because of the faults of one, that many be punished. I use my own emulators to play games that I own, on a system other than which it was orig. designed to run on. Does that make me a pirate? No. Does that mean I am doing anything illegal? No. But you instead still group me into the same category as "illegal emulator user" because SOME people use it for that purpose. I will not argue this further, as your side of the argument is clearly flawed. I will instead leave you with a thought to ponder. Because some kid decided to kill his classmates, after he played GTA, does that mean it shouldnt be sold anymore? No. Because some person was drinking and driving, does that mean that Alchohol should be illegal to everyone? No. Because someone was pirating music illegally, does that mean I shouldnt be allowed to rip my songs to put onto my MP3 player? No. You cant group me into the same category as a pirate, because I say emulation isnt illegal, when it simply isnt. As I said before, case in point, look at the Wii, as its "Virtual Console" is nothing more than emulation at its finest. Yes, you can use it for wrong, the same way a Police officer can use a gun to stop bad people, but those bad people can also use guns to kill police officers. GG

This makes me want a Wii even more! I didn't think this would happen.

Garou: Mark of the Wolves. Now.

wow...i cant wait for this ^_^

These are some very cool Neo Geo titles. I remember watching them with amazment on Gamesworld and Games Master, when I was a kid.

900 points is too much...

Neo Geo OMG overpriced Super Huge Cartridge, Overated Fighting games Batman

900 points?dang they over charged the games back then and they are over charging them now, but good news some arcaide like games would be cool on the wii

Samuraii 4 ONLINE for the love of a gaming god where is the online support . i love the wii but i also love online gaming the idea of playing a fps like metroid online with the great control scheme is why i bought a wii in the 1st place, WAKE UP NINTENDO 2007 console no online and selling in the millions who would have thought. If u feel the same and have bought a wii CHIP IT NOW get some worth out of it 30 pounds for a wii game is a bit of a rip HACK THE WII HACK THE PLANET.

For £179.99 - you get the wii, wii sports (and sometimes another game included in the price depending on the store) - you get weather channel, photo channel, create your own mii, browse the net for free, play games from older consoles, play gamecube games and use the controllers and memorycards from that... and now you can play the great NeoGeo stuff. Who needs movies when you got an amazing choice of games! This is what a games machine is all about for me :D

Thats Awesome I was A huge neo Geo Fan...Bring on the Super Sidekicks and King of fighters. And how Bout some Kabuki Clash!!

This is truly awesome news. I love SNK.

Dude - Hook me up with some Top Hunter! Playing it on GameTap sucks.

Nam 1968... bring it on

Now this makes want a Wii.

Awesome. Now all we need is a harddrive for the Wii and we're all set!

Sweet, now bring out USB mass storage support.

Now if we can just get a harddrive for the Wii. . . .

I hope Ninja Combat is released on Wii,that game reminds me of Killer Instinct only less combos.

I already have Metal Slug Anthology, and those are the only NeoGeo games that interest me. But oh well, the more the merrier I guess.

Yeah!!!! The King of Fighters on Wii!!!!!! rocks!!!! I love SNK!!!! Metal Slug, Samurai Shodown, Fatal Fury, Art of Fighting, World Heroes, Rival Schools (oops, that last one isn't SNK's ^_^). By the way, wouldn't you like to see Capcom's CPS' games on the Wii? just imagine!!! Street Fighter, Marvel Super Heroes, Rival Schools (this time for real!!). Post your opinions here!!

Awesome. Neo Geo games still stand up to this day...the lost 24-bit generation. The Wii just keeps getting better and better. Now, bring on the Sega Saturn games!

Where's Samurai Shodown? Come on!

Give me the Neo Geo version of Baseball Stars & let me build up my dream team...

Meh. I never like fighting games but there's a handfull of other Neo Geo titles I wanted to try like Magician Lord and a few of the shoot em ups.

9 dollars?! Thats way better than their original price of 200 dollars. SOLD!

Sweet, I only ever got to play NeoGeo games in restaurants and arcades.

Meh...im personally more interested in Nintendo games.... but the more, the better, I guess :)

The annoying thing about virtual console games is that they outnumber the regular Wii games. Since Gamespot has no way to filter them out, there's no easy way to look at a list of , say reviews, for normal games.

Dualmask "I'm a little confused by a lot of folks' posts... $8 is fine for a 16-bit game for the SNES or Genesis, but one dollar more is too much for a Neo Geo game?" It think it is because when people think about SNES-games, classics like Mario World, Zelda and Metroid come to their mind where as NeoGeo-games probably bring only vague memories of a game system that was published and since forgotten some time long ago. At least to me this is the case. I am still looking forward to NeoGeo-stuff being released in Euro VC. Here the price would be around $15 so I would definitely have to consider before buying anything, though.

$9 for a NeoGeo game? That beats the hell out of what they originally cost. I'll take Samurai Showdown 3 (best of the series) and Fatal Fury Special and consider it $18 well spent. I wonder if they'll release a NeoGeo controller addon for the Wii.

I'm a little confused by a lot of folks' posts... $8 is fine for a 16-bit game for the SNES or Genesis, but one dollar more is too much for a Neo Geo game?

Dude, I will laugh SO HARD if they put Kizuna Encounter for the Neo-Geo on the Wii at some point. And then I will celebrate by purchasing it. And then I will laugh again.

Great news. Looks like the Wii is building one of the best classic gaming libraries around. Especially with arcade games like the ones from SNK.

KoF...Fatal Fury Special...Samurai Shodown...possibly on the VC... I think I'm actually going to shed a tear. On a slightly related note, I'm not a big fan of online gaming, but i really think Nintendo needs to make VC games possible to play online, for free or for extremely low cost (no more than $5 per month). I've played emulators that have the functionality. That would make the Wii an even more enticing system than it is now.

Windjammers. Please SNK

9 bucks fo game that was once 200. sounds good

i would like to see sega saturn games on the vc

$9 a piece seems kind of expensive... but its still good to have neogeo games on the VC finally

While I'm glad to see Neo games on the Wii, as a former AES owner I must admit that $9 each for those games is asking too much, especially since you can get the Fatal Fury Battle Archives and Art of Fighting Anthology for about $20 each for the PS2. It would be nice if they had more of the recent offerings, or a larger selection of Neo titles like Gametap has, but sadly Gametap isn't selling those games.
