When Capcom released Street Fighter II' Hyper Fighting on Xbox Live Arcade earlier this month, it was quickly pronounced the fastest-selling title ever to hit the service. Obviously, there is an audience for downloadable 2D arcade fighting classics on the Xbox 360.
That audience has another title to look forward to, as SNK Playmore revealed its lineup for the Tokyo Game Show, running September 22 to 24, and it included the company's first offering for the Xbox 360: a Live Arcade version of Garou Densetsu Special (Fatal Fury Special in the US).
Looking at the PlayStation 2, there will be a nonplayable demo of The King of Fighters '98 Ultimate Match accompanied by a playable demo of Garou Densetsu Battle Archives 2. And in commemoration of the 10th anniversary of Metal Slug, SNK will also ready a playable Sony PSP title called Metal Slug Complete. Although SNK lists this as a newly announced title, it is presumably the same game as Metal Slug Collection, which SNK showed to the Western press at the Game Developers Conference back in March and renamed Metal Slug Anthology for its appearance at the Electronic Entertainment Expo in May.
nice can't wait for the xbox live arcade port
They should really stop putting this type of game and make a better game and they really need to improve.

cool
Cant wait for Fatal Fury Special Xbox 360 rules PS i got a doa arcade stick just for Street Fighter
the 360 needs to come out with an arcade stick and fast!
I loved Fatal Fury Special, I use to play it on my Snes all the time.
Not many titles... for me! :D
I heard a while ago that a Metal Sug Anthology will be out for the Wii, maybe its not true but hey its something to look forward to.
Neo-Geo will be on the Wi virtual console, you heard it here first!
Suhunkorea, it's called Metal Slug becuase you can pilot Mech's called Metal Slugs. The most famous being the "Metal Vehicle 001".
The Tokyo Game Show never ceases to amaze me!
HEY GIVE US METAL SLUG COMPLETE FOR 360 AND WHY IS IT CALLED METAL SLUG??
Xbox live arcade rocks as does the psp
Im so excited if they come to the xbox live arcade. I mean the arcade market is moving to xbox live now in my opinion.
I think SNK Playmore should go to XBOX Live Arcade because arcade market is smaller and smaller nowadays and also SNK's technology much lower than other company. have u ever seen any high-end 3d games of the SNK Playmore? they made some 3D games but I think these games are not for XBOX360 and PS3 but only PS2 or XBOX. (Maybe..Dreamcast?)

how come u can never find these games in the US....
It can never replaces the feel of the NEOGEO LONG LIVE IT!!!!!!!!!!
Damn, when I first saw this I thought that they were going to bring Metal slug to xbox live arcade, with online co-op and stuff. Now that would be some crazy stuff, but I guess KOF works.
Garou Densetsu Special? Granted its probably the best classic (pre-'94) fighter outside of Samurai Spirits (and some would argue Street Fighter II), but it seems like an odd choice. My guess is they're using it as a test bed before unveiling the big boys: the KoF games.
god the artwork is gorgeous! keep up the great design work guys!
I want metal slug for psp, i'm a hugeee metal slug fan hehe
I'm getting Fatal fury special for sure.
i dunno about the metal slug idéa i mean you can download a emulator and play the games anyway
waaaaaaaaaaaauuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhh
This is awesome.
That is frickin awsome
me too , i want metal slug collection for my psp, NICE!!!!!!
we need king of fighters 97 and above, those will be great on live arcade.
the metal slug collection is also coming out for the Wii
Come on Samurai Shodown...
No Metal Slug for 360? No Co-Op Live play... Fatal Fury should be nice though.
Maybe Fatal Fury Special will be great... or maybe not...
i never knew that game was that popular on the xbl arcade
I must have that MS Collection for the PSP!
snk playmore, xbox live, metal slug, fatal fury, anthology, garou densetsu, mark of the wolves, tgs
Fatal Fury Oh yaeh it's old school baby
I guess I got over Street Fighter because am not too exited. FPS games are taking over me...
I'll be looking foward to Fatal Fury, and if I had a PSP I would say the same about Metal Slug.
SNK rules
Sounds great
Metal Slug Complete!!!!! It's about time they made a Metal Slug for the PSP.
Im only interested in Metal Slug .
I think it was impossible to have an Xbox Live Arcade without SNK Playmore games. They belong to the essentials of old-school gaming!
Sounds great
i love 2D games, and if justin timberlake can bring sexyback i want to bring 2Dback, as well as platforming............ the SNES, SEGA days
SNK is tight. good hours on those games
Love SNK games-bring it on.
I agree with you guyz on some of their other titles would be good on Live. But the only way we will get them is by making sure FF is successful. So even if you're remotely interested invest in this title to ensure that more titles will come to Live.
