Neo Geo games on their way to Virtual Console
As the Wii’s Virtual Console gains more and more momentum, not only are we getting more and more games every week, this summer Wii owners everywhere will be blessed with a new format on the channel. Neo Geo will join the list of available systems and its games will soon be available on there for us all to enjoy, not just the rich and famous (some Neo Geo games are notoriously hard to come by and, because of this, can sell for huge sums of cash nowadays).
In a recent interview over at IGN, President of SNK Playmore USA Ben Herman suggested that they planned to price the games at “just a little above the Super NES” titles. That might sound costly to you but for games that sometimes sell for hundreds of pounds on everyones favourite auction site you really can’t complain. On the subject of original downloadable content on Wii, Herman stated that “for now we’ll be sticking purely with the retro scene” meaning that any new games will be a long way away. You can read the entire interview here should you wish.
