Neo Geo games on Virtual Console!

Category: Wii, Posted: 09/01/2007 at 01:52PM CDT by Brian Schulman, GN Content Contributor

That's right baby, the Japanese Virtual Console site is listing the first three Neo Geo games that'll appear on the service this month, Fatal Fury, World Heroes, and Magician Lord. All three will debut at 900 points and it's going to be awesome.

The Neo Geo was the original poor-selling third wheel console, but the system was vastly overpowered compared to either the Genesis or the SNES of the same era. Fortunately, it had quite a few games that were undeniably great.

The Neo Geo is home to some of the greatest fighting games, World Heroes among them, and, my personal favorites, the original Metal Slug games. Simply put, it's a mistake to overlook the Neo Geo era. Let's just hope these games make their way to the US Virtual Console as well.
