I can't read the entire thing because the page is blocked, but I could see the first few lines (Google Reader, semibypassing work blocks ftw). Also, it's Just Japan right now, though it's likely to be released in other regions.
Japan gets Legend of Mystical Ninja for the Virtual Console.
Lucky bastards.
For Trix:
Nintendo has updated its Japanese plans for the Wii's Virtual Console, revealing that both Neo Geo and MSX games will debut for the download service this year, also revealing new Japanese Virtual Console games for March along the way.
Thus far, it's been confirmed that MSX titles Aleste and Eggy will debut for the service in Japanese territories, However, no Neo Geo titles have specifically been announced yet - though a license with SNK for the hardware would imply that the majority of the top Neo Geo games (from Metal Slug to the King Of Fighters series) might be available for licensing to the service.
The company also confirmed its Japanese Wii VC line-up for March, and highlights for the NES include Excitebike and Lode Runner, with the Super Nintendo receiving Konami's Legend Of The Mystical Ninja and, most interestingly for those looking at publisher support, Square Enix's Actraiser.
Sega's Genesis support for March in Japan includes titles such as Sonic Spinball, Wonder Boy in Monster World, and Bonanza Bros., and the Turbografx/PC Engine also receives some new titles, including an iteration of the popular Japanese wrestling series in Fire Pro Wrestling Combination Tag.
As is customary, none of the above titles have been confirmed for Western release, with Nintendo preferring to pick specific region-appropriate titles for North American and European release.
Ok, now I am seriously considering a Wii. NeoGeo is not only great console, but its also an expensive one to fund for. Therefor, if these games are being sold at reasonable prices, I'd buy a Wii post haste.
Neo Geo was around the time of the SNES and Genesis if I'm not mistaken, so games will probably be 800 points (about $8 American).
The PS3 is getting Neo-Geo too
Now it'll be a matter on which system will provide the better Neo-Geo titles.
the PS3 is probably going to get more 2D fighters
HAAALELUJA
Yay, more games for me to experience that I couldn't play because I was too young when they were released!
Im not sure, Sony are holding back on 2D fighters nowadays. All their 2D fighters should go to the PSP anyway.Originally Posted by UltimaMasamune
