Nintendo adds NEOGEO to the Virtual Console
As predicted, Nintendo finally got around to introducing NEOGEO games to the Wii Virtual Console. There doesn’t seem to be a system update involved, so I’m guessing the emulation was in the last firmware update a while ago. The games introduced today are Fatal Fury, World Heroes, and Art of Fighting.
This brings some concerns for us. Should we buy Art of Fighting? SNK’s working on bringing the Art of Fighting compilation to Wii, aren’t they? 900 points is a great deal for games that originally sold for so much money, but again it brings up the concern of storage space. Just how large are these games, and how quick will they fill up our flash memory?
Read on for the press release.
