Memories...

User Rating: 10 | SNK Arcade Classics Vol. 1 WII
When I was growing up, there was always a Neo-Geo machine in the local Dairy Queen and Red Robin. I remember one of the cabinets having Blue's Journey, Top Hunter, and Metal Slug. It was always entertaining to watch the demo videos of those game play while waiting for the food to be ready.

So naturally when I heard that we would be getting Neo-Geo games for the VC on the Wii, I was very excited, and couldnt wait to play some of the best Arcade type games all over again. But like others, I knew that the size of these games was going to be a problem.

All those concerns were blasted out of the water when I saw that this puppy was being released. Just after hearing part of the line-up I already was going to get this. King of Monsters, Magician Lord, Metal Slug, and Samurai Shodown. Then I was able to find some new favorites in some of the ones I never played before, like Fatal Fury, Last Resort, and Turf Masters.

So I picked this up, plugged my Hori Fighting stick in, and just lost myself in pure Arcade goodness.

The great feeling playing with a joystick, the unlimited credits, the awesome sprites, I honestly cannot recomned this game enough. If anyone has any interest in the Neo-Geo library, you really NEED to get this.

Need more convincing? Ok, this game costs 30 bucks brand new, you might be able to find a used one. And you get 16 games (15, 1 is unlockable) Thats not even $2.00 (200 Wii points) a game. Now if you were to wait to download these all from the VC, it would come to $144.00, with each game being 900 points.

And just to cap it off, unlike the Metal Slug anthology collection, the Metal Slug game here supports Classic Controller and Hori Fighting Stick.

Final word, this game rocks, the collection is good, and the price is a steal, everyone needs this game.
