1 October 2007 – The retro hits just keep coming with Wii’s Virtual Console, with over 140 titles currently available to download. Soon Wii owners will be able to re-experience the greatest arcade games of the '90s with a selection of releases from the NEOGEO. These will join classic games from Nintendo, SEGA and Turbografx already available on Wii Virtual Console.
NEOGEO launched in 1990 and featured advanced 2D graphics and high quality sound similar to arcade machines of the time. Available at a relatively high price, the NEOGEO AES (Advanced Entertainment System) was a cult product available to only a small number of gamers. But now, thanks to Virtual Console, Wii owners can own classic NEOGEO hits. Release of these titles will be handled by D4 Enterprise Inc. headquartered in Tokyo.
The first NEOGEO title to launch on Virtual Console will be the critically acclaimed Fatal Fury, SNK’s oldest fighting game dating from 1991. This will be followed by two other retro fighting games from 1992; World Heroes and Art of Fighting. These will be joined by more titles in the near future.
So look out for the great NEOGEO games that will be making their way onto Wii’s Virtual Console and will be available to download for 900 Wii Points.
