Anyone see the new US SNK Release Schedule?

[neogamer]

Oh yeah,

Looks like they are finally making a SNK Classics game for release in the US. It will be available for both the Wii and PS2.

Metal Slug 7 is in the works for the DS as well.

And finally Magician Lord is going to be available on the Wii Virtual Console!

Got to love SNK!

Any one know of any games I'm missing? If you do, please update the list! I have been importing a lot of SNK games lately, and can say that I am truly glad they are bringing some of them to the US as well!

Metal Slug Anthology ain't $15. And it's also out of print. Damn SNK-P, why won't they reprint it? I don't want to pay $60 for a copy! :(

[otaku]

wish I'd held on to my copy of anthology! Great game. anyway good to see I'll definetly give the new metal slug a go

[Damaramu]

Metal Slug Anthology out of print? Good thing I see them everywhere in my area. Time to swoop one up!

Is NeoGeo Battle out???

[Tron 2.0]

I know wanna snag NGBC and KOFXI.

Still it's a shame they can't release SS Tenka in the u.s.

Dunno maybe there waiting for the SS collection to be released.

[Chuplayer]

SAMSHO ANTHOLOGY! THE OROCHI SAGA!

I just came. Hard. And I'd rather have Last Blade and KOF98, so I'll probably be a regular Cytheria if those come out.

[Hawksmoor]

Samurai Shodown Anthology and Samurai Shodown 2 on Live Arcade is absolutely awesome. Now we just need specific release dates.

The PS2 version is fairly scarce, but I keep seeing people who get the Wii version for some reason. I want to buy the PS2 version but finding a new copy is next to impossible. :(

I might be able to scare up some copies in my neck of the woods if you wouldn't mind paying retail. Going to do a little hunting on Sunday (also looking for that damned Thundercracker voyager class transformer :( )

Thank you, but no... Lots of stores sell the game online. I just don't want to pay full price. ;P

I don't have much money to spend now, anyway. I want this game because I want to support SNK-P, but I'm too cheap to buy it at full retail. ^^;

[Cloud121]

All right! Orochi Collection!

But still no Mark of The Wolves. And what about KoF 94 Rebout? :(

[swlovinist]

Awsome, I am all over the SNK games on the PS2. Keep it rollin

[neogamer]

All right! Orochi Collection!

But still no Mark of The Wolves. And what about KoF 94 Rebout? :(

If you buy import games, Mark of the Wolves is fairly common and you can get it new for around close to $20 with only a $5 shipping fee from Play Asia!

But it's in Japanese.

And wanna bet the game will be $15 stateside too?

[hbkprm]

[Xexyz]

Oh yeah,

Nope, no Wii version. Currently the SNK Arcade Classics compilation is scheduled for a PS2 and PSP release only.

[Overbite]

OH MY GOD THEY DID IT

THEY ARE BRINGING SAMSHO 2 TO XBOX LIVE ARCADE

praise to jesus and buddah and everyone else

[swlovinist]

Samsho 2 is the friggin bomb, I will also be getting that for xbox live.

[MegaDrive20XX]

I may have just pooped a little after reading this...

[snes_collector]

I really need to buy a PS2

[neogamer]

WOW!

No offense, but you just realised that this far into the systems' life span.

Do you hate Sony or something?

or do you just collect the classics...?

[snes_collector]

Nah, I've realised it for awhile, I'm just too cheap to pay what everyone wants for them. Been looking around hoping to find one for 40$ or so, but I seems know one is letting them go that cheap :\

Hey, don't hate us late adopters!

I didn't purchase a PS2 until earlier this year. I could never raise enough money to get one. :) I loved the system, I just couldn't afford one!

[neogamer]

No hate here! I have a very wealthy friend who is like that. I am frugal on everything but games.

He is always two generations behind! He just bought a PS for crying out loud and he is a serious collector!

[Jorpho]

Where's the version of Cardfighter's Clash DS that doesn't suck?

[GhostDog]

I am a late adopter. The newest system I own is a Gamecube which I bought about 2 weeks ago but I still don't have any games for it. Before that the newest system I had was a Dreamcast which I bought back in 2002. I then bought Shenmue, Jet Grind Radio and other solid titles and I was in gaming heaven. So for about 5 1/2 years the newest system I owned was a Dreamcast.

I just bought games for my older systems and in the meantime picked up some systems I didn't have before like an SNES and Saturn and a bunch of games. I have also been thinking about picking up a N64 since I already own some great titles for it. I delayed my actions for some time in buying a N64 since I was looking for a transparent colored one with an expansion pack. I don't need the latest stuff to enjoy gaming. I mean, we're getting hard-ons by all of these classic collections which proves that we too don't need the latest and greatest hardware and games.

I also don't have a PS2 yet but with the announcement of Yakuza 2 in 2008, I don't have an excuse not to own one. I remember back in the summer of 2006 I was setting my sights on a slim PS2 because I was excited about Yakuza but I never got one. I still can't believe there hasn't been a price drop yet. It was $129.99 back in 2006 and in late-2007 it's still the same price.

It's clear that the PS2 is still sellling well that there's no need for a price drop from a business point of view. I waited this damn long so I'm waiting for a price drop or at least until they release a slim white PS2 that doesn't come with some karaoke game and mic like they're planning on releasing. I can always go the used option route and get a used one for like $70. Decisions, decisions.

Here are the SNK releases that excite me:

NeoGeo Battle Coliseum
The King of Fighters XI
Samurai Shodown Anthology

By this Christmas a new PS2 may only cost you $99.99 new! Okay?

I can't guarantee that, but that is what I am hearing. Who knows if Sony will follow through or not!

[Wolfrider31]

Say what you will about the S, the Playstation era is easily one of the best examples of our hobby. Being without a PS2 is simply masochistic.

God I love these compilations. More please!

I do like the compilation discs! Even the Sega Classics and Capcom Classics discs were good.

I believe it's worth owning a PS2 for those discs alone!

Any chance of a World Heroes collection making its way to the US sometime in 2008? It's coming to Japan on October 18, 2007 under the name World Heroes Gorgeous. Perhaps it will make its way to the US. World Heroes Perfect is such an underrated fighting game that I own for Sega Saturn. It was a Japanese only Saturn title. It wasn't arcade perfect since it didn't use any RAM expansion like some of the best 2D fighters for Saturn, but a still damn fine port. The characters from the Saturn version weren't as beefy as the arcade version. Hopefully we can all get the perfect arcade version. Here are the games from the collection: World Heroes, World Heroes 2, World Heroes Jet and World Heroes Perfect. Who would buy this collection if it came out in the US?

[Sailorneorune]

SNK and Hori are conspiring to make me plunk down the cash for the Wii arcade stick... I just know it.

(Hori made one and made it beautiful, and SNK is making the excuses for me to get one)

You can import one from NCS (National Console Support) and yes, it will work on your US system.

I do not know if they are bringing that joystick to the US or not.

Wow, I just looked one up and it looks very nice. I'd have to say it's a must accessory to get that extra experience out of the Virtual Console.

It's well worth it and well worth importing...

especially if you like Hori joysticks and who doesn't?

[sabre2922]

Agreed

Not to sound like a fanboy but I really dont see how ANY gamer with broad gaming interests can be without a PS2.

I would own a PS2 just for the Genesis collection ALONE hell if somebody had ever told me that someday I would have almost all of my favorite Genny games on ONE DISC I would have called them CRAZY!

Now on to the topic at hand I read at Gamespot and a couple other gaming sites that both the Samarai Shodown Anthology:hail: and the World Heroes Collection:cool: will be released for the PS2 in the U.S. there is some slight confusion on wich ones will be released for the Wii and PSP though.

Now if I could only find that damn copy of the Metal Slug Anthology the King of Fighters and Fatal Fury Anthologies in my area and snag the SSA when its released I can die happy.

Ign said that there's no plans so far to release World Heroes Gorgeous in the US. Do you have the link where it says World Heroes collection is coming to the US?

[Damaramu]

own all these games, and they're great games! glad I picked up a few copies of Metal Slug Anthology(ps2) for $7.99 each...planning to sell em on ebay.

the NeoGeo Pocket versions were much better.

Any word on the exact contents of Samurai Shodown Anthology? It would be amazing if it had V Special on it. If it's only the first three games (like FF Battle Archives), I'll pass.

[Damaramu]

That or at least bring Samurai Spirits Tenkaichi Kenkakuden States-side.

[ubersaurus]

Last I heard it had 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and Tenka. Sadly, not Special.

Of course, this was said last summer. They may have changed the lineup since.

[G-Boobie]

Does anyone know why the US SNK Playmore site hasn't been updated since September of last year? I've been getting release dates from Amazon.

Just seems odd, is all.
