These games were announced by their US branch:
THE KING OF FIGHTERS COLLECTION: THE OROCHI SAGA (Wii(tm), PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system, PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) system)
METAL SLUG 7 (Nintendo DS(tm))
SNK ARCADE CLASSICS Volume 1 (PlayStation 2 system, PSP® system)
SAMURAI SHODOWN ANTHOLOGY (Wii(tm), PlayStation 2 system)
METAL SLUG 3 (Xbox LIVE® Arcade)
SAMURAI SHODOWN 2 (Xbox LIVE Arcade)
FATAL FURY (Wii(tm) Virtual Console(tm))
WORLD HEROES (Wii Virtual Console)
MAGICIAN LORD (Wii Virtual Console)
The fact that the Samurai Shodown collection is coming out here is amazing. Also, SS2 for Xbox Live!
More curious though - I wonder what the SNK Arcade Classics is. Pre Neo Geo stuff like Ikari Warriors or POW or Psycho Soldier?

This is the greatest day of my life. Thank you for bringing this up, because just about 10 minutes ago I was thinking how aswesome all of this would be. No Garou, Last Blade, or FFBA vol 2 makes me sad, but I'm sure they'll get here eventually. If not, it will be easy to import them.

We better see some online play for SamSho Anthology on the Wii (since my old MAS stick works with it)! And SamSho 2 on LIVE? Can I get a hell to the yeah? The first one was my game, but I look forward to playing some of you guys on 2. |

I dunno; I hear FFS on Live plays very poorly. The Arcade Classics pack sounds interesting.

Metal Slug 7 only for the DS. Argh! Should be multiplatform just like Contra 4.

Awesome. I will definitely buy Metal Slug 7, the KOF Anthology 1 (sigh... why can't they just put them all in one collection?), and the Samurai Showdown Anthology.
Also really looking forward to KOFXII and the new KOFMI.

Finally a good port of SamSho2 on a console!!! Not to mention the inevitable online mutiplayer it AND Metal Slug 3 will have. THAT'S what really excites me. |

I hate SNK for so many dumb things they've done, but I'm totally getting Samurai Shodown collection. SamSho is probably the only franchise they've got that I like.

I do hope that the SNK Arcade Classics involves pre-Neo Geo games. I'd love to have ports of stuff like S.A.R. and Beast Busters. They have a ton of quality comparable to other hit games from their games. It would be historically interesting also, as you could sort of make a case for their 1979 game Ozma Wars being the first true shmup. I'll be getting everything they publish on all platforms they publish it as usual. I missed a ton of stuff prior to their dissolution/regeneration/relocation to Wall but ever since then I get every damn thing they put out. Absolutely the best company ever made and the only one left still ballsy enough to make a 2D game for the arcades/home consoles that aren't just throwaway ports (even if a lot of that is what makes it here). Absolutely my favorite company ever, bar none. I should drive down to Wall and ask if they can give me a marketing stipend, I sure as hell brought my Neo Geo into work all the time to promote AoF Antholy and FF Battle Archives.  |
